Happy birthday: take a trip in America's largest flying gadget (part 1) {Engadget}
Mar 23rd 2008 9:15PM the extent to which engadget rules can't be comprehended by ordinary men. I have only scratched the surface.
Graphene could be used in creating solar cells, LCDs {Engadget}
Dec 30th 2007 12:42PM Indium is a byproduct of copper and zinc mining. Mining operations for copper and zinc just add extra processing to extract the indium. The concentration and value of indium are too low to make it economically viable to mine for the indium only.
So, anyone who thinks indium will run out in 10 years must also believe that zinc and copper will run out in the same time frame. Not likely.
Most likely what they were TRYING to say is that the demand for indium will far outstrip the supply in 10 years. (since the output of indium is directly tied to the output of copper and zinc, unless indium were to go up in value by 100x).
Not a big deal since the LCD industry uses 60% of all indium production right now and their growth rate is phenomenal, but they are very close to qualifying alternatives like aluminum-zinc-oxide for the TCO layer, at which point the demand for indium would drop significantly, only to pick up again as thin film solar (CIGS) replaces the demand.

Con & Con's E-Base gadget charging station {Engadget}
Jan 3rd 2007 3:08AM If ever one is sold it will signal the end of modern society.
They should have charged $1,000 for it. It's so frigging useless the only hope would be to make it ultra exclusive and so that a mentally ill / well-to-do person might buy it during a binge shopping episode. (high price = good, can't think. must buy. husband is cheating on me, etc.)

Toshiba taking $200 loss on each HD-A1, sez iSuppli {Engadget}
Jun 24th 2006 4:26PM iSuppli is known for providing very accurate cost estimates. They get real numbers from the component suppliers. The parts are $500+ because they're not produced in high-volume yet.
To the guy comparing the cost analysis to his home PC build cost - those are VERY high volume commodity items in your PC - that's the difference.
