Rooted Nook gets Pandora, shot at true happiness

I'm pretty sure AT&T could do something as simple as limit nook IMEIs to only connecting to B&N.

Unintended Consequence of Technology: New LED traffic lights can't melt snow

How about just slapping some infrared LEDs in there along with the others?

ColorSchemer Studio 2 is here, and we have licenses!

I'm excited for CMYK. I color calibrate, but sometimes the colors still don't come out quite right.

How's he got his zoom hooked up to the hotshoe there? I need a way to hook my zoom to my GH1 hotshoe.

Philips introduces DirectLife activity monitor / fitness program

Oct 21st 2009 9:23AM on Engadget

Uh hi,

"The activity monitor itself also has a few seeming advantages over the Fitbit, including some basic LED lights that show your progress at a glance, and a built-in USB plug that eschews the need for a dock."

The LED lights provide far less information than FitBit's OLED display.

USB Plug is not built in, you need a special little plug-thing. Look half way down the right side of this page:

The Philips is waterproof, and suitable to track swimming -- something the FitBit cannot do. But, as mentioned, the Philips is going to run you $12.50 a month, every month, after you purchase it. FitBit is free.

I'm interested in these devices, but I'm waiting to see where they go at this point. I'd probably hop on the FitBit if they beefed up the website more, and perhaps added an iPhone app.

Fitbit review

I'm waiting to see about the Philips DirectLife:

Looks like a similar product. Their tracker isn't free ($12.50 a month) but it seems to give you suggestions based on your data.

It doesn't track your sleeping habits.

It is waterproof, but I don't swim so...

Take Back the Beep: AT&T promises to make some changes, T-Mobile and Verizon slow on the uptake

Aug 14th 2009 10:01AM on Engadget

I am on ATT. I *don't* have Visual Voicemail. I *do* have a personal greeting, and no prompts. I also know people on AT&T and T-Mobile with personal greetings, and no prompts. What's the hubub about? You can turn the prompts off on all the networks, it sounds like.

Re-Lease Me: GM starts leasing Cadillac, Buick, GMC and Chevy models again

Aug 3rd 2009 7:40PM on Autoblog

Notable absent is Saab, which is ironic since Saab started it's press conference to announce it's freedom from GM and restructuring with a song called "Release me..."

Engadget's recession antidote: win a 16GB iPhone 3G from Rapid Repair!

We could fix the economy by stopping the destruction of perfectly serviceable cars with our tax dollars.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
