Sep 21st 2008 11:16AM not the only person, just the only person willing to admit it. And although it does bare the same name as the Inty in EvE, i doubt thats where the name came from
Energy Ball wind turbine captures energy for the home {Engadget}
Sep 6th 2008 9:17AM Wind turbines have been around for a lot longer than people cared about looks...
they're called windmills.
Plenty of places outside the dense urban area still use them to some degree, so wind turbines will be more that accepted in those locations. I know some farmers that would gladly have 5 or 6 of these on there property if they didnt have an electric bill anymore.

Sep 4th 2008 6:02PM Replacement for the 777es?
And everyone needs to quit hating on this thing. It probably upconverts DVDs as well (not that i know for sure, haven't read a lick about the specs yet).
This obviously isnt meant for the general masses yet. Hell, the 777 was barely meant for the masses when it was discontinued. This is geared for home automation and theater installers and people with more money than the first 10 posters combined.
Reduce the power used by all your gadgets {Green Daily}
Aug 28th 2008 5:30PM Control 4 recently got a platinum LEAD rating on a house they did in, i believe, California. Essentially, when the last person leaves the house in the morning, everything is shut down except the fridge, the main processor, the cable modem and the TiVo. When the first person comes home in the evening a driveway sensor triggers the home system and everything is back up and running before the homeowner comes in.
Double toil and trouble, VUDU rumor pot bubbles over {Engadget}
Aug 24th 2008 5:40PM Ah, you're correct, i Misread the website and assumed that the 500 standard def DVDs were ones I already owned. Glad I hadnt bought it yet.
I got to see the Kaleidscape at CEDIA last year. Amazing product, your correct... and at a cost of only 10X the Vudu XL :p
Double toil and trouble, VUDU rumor pot bubbles over {Engadget}
Aug 24th 2008 11:41AM I actually just recently started looking at the VUDU XL to replace the now discontinued Sony 777ES 400 DVD changer. Starting point is the same price (roughly) and from what i understand the XL allows you to rip your DVDs to its HDD for playback. Problem is, I already have an AppleTV, so i dont really need it for the VOD content.
Even though I was willing to drop a grand on the 777 (mostly because of its mechanical parts that for some reason justified the price in my mind), something like the VUDU XL coming in at a grand causes some sticker shock, especially since its basically the AppleTV with a 1 TB drive in it.
To me, the principle is fine, the delivery and content are fine, but the price is too high.

Pontiac ad is glorious homage to Spy Hunter {Joystiq}
Mar 14th 2008 7:19AM The G8 is going to be one hot ride. The wife is on her 2nd G6 (leases) and its also a great car, well built, nice interior, fun to drive. Things Pontiac used to be a while back. The G8 is gonna be a killer, especially with the v8 option.
As for the commercial, thats some seriously smart advertising. Give the person who came up with that idea a rase because everyone who ever played Spy Hunter is going to feel an instant emotional attraction to that ad.
