Fanatec Porsche 911 Turbo Wheel for Xbox 360 review

Dec 1st 2009 5:03PM on Engadget

When using Forza with this wheel make sure you set it to 900 degrees before booting up FM3 so you can get true 900 degree steering. If you set it while FM3 has started then you won't get the true 900 degree experience.

Ford and M-Sport officially unveil Fiesta S2000 rally car [w/VIDEO]

Nov 20th 2009 5:05PM on Autoblog

The next WRC cars will be 1.6L Turbo machines based off S2000 cars like this one. Of course they might have paddle shifters and maybe some other freedoms but it's still an S2000 car.

Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx coming next year

Nov 11th 2009 5:58PM on Download Squad

Gnome 2.28 is the latest and I think it will have Gnome 2.30. Gnome 3.0 was delayed until 9/2010 so 10.10 will have for sure. Shuttleworth wants Lucid to be the pinnacle of Gnome 2.0. 10.04 might not be the bleeding edge but it doesn't have to since it's an LTS release. LTS releases are all about long term stability and not the latest of everything. Then again they put a beta version of Firefox 3.0 instead of FF 2.0.

Motorola and Samsung cable boxes have BCM chips. Except for the Samsung 3050 which uses a Conexant ARM chip. All Samsung BCM boxes run Linux. BCM equipped STB's usually run Linux but use a mixture of GPL and proprietary code. The STB stuff like cablecard and drivers are closed source while the non STB related stuff is open source.

Ubuntu 9.10 'Karmic Koala' released, could decide your OS fate

Oct 29th 2009 4:58PM on Engadget

Citroen's 2011 DS3 rally fighter revealed in spy shots

Oct 19th 2009 3:40AM on Autoblog

Actually this car will be powered by a 1.6L turbo mill. Loeb says that the 1.6 Turbo will be fast but will have less torque than the current cars. VW is interested in WRC with the Scirocco but they want to continue using Semi automatic transmissions as they want to promote their DSG technology.

Oct 2nd 2009 4:31PM on Autoblog

The new WRcars will be AWD and will use a 1.6T but they'll be based off of Super 2000 cars. Of course they'll have a boy racer wing and other aero mods.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
