Microsoft giving Bing Maps a 3D overhaul, tacking on apps for good measure

Dec 2nd 2009 10:08PM on Engadget

This kinda really sucks. It's slow, it's nearly impossible to navigate, and it hardly has imagery from anywhere.

How-to: run Chrome OS as a virtual machine

Nov 20th 2009 2:57PM on Engadget

The video's not loading for me.

I don't really get this though. There are devices like smartphones that turn on rapidly, and with those you can actually download all kinds of applications to use offline. Why would someone want a computer like this just because it can turn on fast if you can't put your photos on it (I assume at least not with uploading them to the internet) or run all kinds of offline software. It's great for doing some stuff, but not everything, so even for personal use it can't be your only computer.

Dell's Inspiron Zino HD on sale now in America: starts at $229, doubles as an HTPC

Completely true. Except for the processor, video card, and operating system which makes this one complete garbage.

It's so interesting. If it wouldn't be an obvious Mac Mini rip-off, you wouldn't have said that you expected comments about it. I think you comment is translated to English as "This is Mac Mini rip-off."

Apple's Magic Mouse now shipping: seeks mighty revenge

Oct 29th 2009 1:31PM on Engadget

Wha? I'm using the Mighty Mouse, and when both fingers are down it assumes left clicks, just like I set it to in the Mouse preferences. Right click I need to lift my left finger.

Mighty Mouse is a little uncomfortable if you use it like those tall traditional mouses where you rest the weight of your hand on it, but if you keep a light touch and only touch it with your finger tips it's very nice and comfortable. Magic Mouse looks like it would be worse though. I'd opt for Expose over ineffective side-swipe any day.

HP Pavilion dv3 with multitouch screen spotted in the wild, we go hands-on

Oct 27th 2009 10:57PM on Engadget

It uh... doesn't look like the multi touch works so well/smooth or is enabling much productivity on this machine.

Apple updates $19 Remote, predictably coats it in aluminum

Oct 20th 2009 3:19PM on Engadget

When Apple first introduced the aluminum iMac, they were too thin to hold the apple remote on the side with a magnet (which was really neat from the plastic iMacs). Now that these are thin, will they sit on the side of the new iMacs?

But MAN! Why does it have to be so tall? Are there so many electronics in the bottom 60% of this thing that it has to be so long? And tell me again why the pause/play isn't in the middle of the arrows like it used to be?

iMac line updated with 16:9 displays, quad-core Core i5 / i7 model

Oct 20th 2009 12:58PM on Engadget

What good is any of this when there's a reflective piece of glass stuck in front of the screen. Matte options coming soon I hope? The Macs are becoming the best computers that aren't usable except in a dark basement.

Intelligent speed bumps collapse to reward slow-pokes, cut down on emissions

Oct 16th 2009 12:50PM on Engadget

What's the point if you still need to slow down for it to collapse? It would only work if there's motion sensors that detect speed enough before the bump to see that you're not speeding up and slowing down and so you can see it collapse

They better make sure signs are posted so they know what speed to collapses at.

Otherwise slowpokes will be annoyed that they slowed down so much when there's no bump, and speedsters will expect it to collapse and it not only negates the purpose of the bumps, it messes up the cars.

NSF awards Harvard $10 million for robot bees (video)

This guy needs a chill pill.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
