Horrible "invention"... iHate all these new products that just are so overly mediocre iPuke.
I usually would just say these things are stupid.. And in general, they are.

But they are really on to something here. Just like internet radio, maybe a wifi picture frame where you subscribe (rss feeds) and people put together images to be displayed on your picture frame.

You want current news/sports/politics/travel whatever and it just shows high res pics. BTW.. I had these frames when people think they are smart taking 400x320 res pics that look like hell. Similar to HDTV that people just broadcast regular ass cable.

Good idea, I would totally be down with this.
I have a 1000 and its true. I have bought plenty of games. But sometimes I need to unwind with a couple hundred games of Tetris or Bomberman. Then drop into mario rpg. Its just too damn nice to risk going with something else. But glare is my only complaint with the PSP, and this seems to fit the bill.

It almost wants me to go buy some strawberries *puts hand back in animal crackers bag*
Did you hear Magnetbox was coming out with a Sorny PSP competitor?
affirmative. I was just wondering where her usb coffee warmer and lights are.

Also, does this work with usb 3.0?
HAHAHAHA!!! If I wore that, I would have to kick my own ass. Also, were on earth did this website find a way to take a simple picture and hit the "crapifiy" button.
Wow Ordeith. A bank of useful knowledge. I just came back to this article and find all this hate mail that is so confusing. Are people just this blind by the fact that nuclear IS a proven Alternative Energy. I won't get into any of the politics of all of this but trying to explain that we are no longer dealing with the 60's and 70's technology, but rather a far more stable kind of power plant can be a frustrating debate. How many of the member of the Sierra club post on engadget anyways?

To whatever post said that solar is free energy... you're an idiot. Go fill your rooftop with solar panels and tell me how much free costs.

Oh and I will gladly live next to a Nuclear Power Plant. Springfield doesn't seem to mind, nor do I. I truly feel driving my car is FAR more dangerous than living next to a nuclear plant.
I don't know where you get your facts from but assuming you are fairly accurate people should be outraged at the thought of all this money going into something that has proven useless, and so time-money-space wasting.

These companies that donate are likely huge places like your Walmarts, Proctor, ect. They are donating all this money so that they can say they are part of this "Green Revolution" and look at how much money we have donated it. They could care less if it works. It's a great way to make an "image" of how much they care about the environment. That is the only thing keeping these mammoth space wasters afloat. As soon as we can convince people that this is a good idea but a fruitless effort (possibly harmful to ecosystems), we will continue to see this happen.

Very disappointing.
Good idea. But no where does it mention the price the cost of the actual panels, maintence fees (when a good wind comes and tears panels off), or if and when it would become economically viable for such a solution.

Also.. 12.5 sq miles! I know there is a lot of unused land, but to see something like this would be an eyesore to anyone. (cool to see the first couple times yes, but eventually ugly).

I don't imagine a full blown coal plant takes much more than 1 sq mile. Yes ugly, but more efficent. If carbon emissions is your beef, don't get me started. Go talk with China or any "third world" developing countries about your green ideals. US is not the problem here.

I want solar to work but the more and more of it I see, the less faith I have in it.

If only they invested this money in clean and undeinably safe nuclear.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
