World's first "no lamp replacement, liquid-cooled" 1080p projector lands at CEDIA {Engadget}
Sep 3rd 2008 9:06PM Yes, everything does burn out eventually, hence the reference to 50,000 hours. Is it just late or something in the US? I mean, there is a huge wealth of common sense information right in the text of this post and yet there's a gaggle of geese honking about the stats. The only thing really missing is a price. And since I have to ask, yeah, I know I can't afford it...
Titan's air jack lifts your car with hot air, can't be used for a game of volleyball {Engadget}
Sep 3rd 2008 4:10PM There were commercials for a similar product in the early 80's. It showed grandma changing her own car tire on the free way. Not that being first to market is all that important, because apparently it didn't take off. Seems that the off road community has found a practical market for balloon jack and I'm happy to see it's still around. As for the socks...

Bill Gates: top ten greatest hits (and misses) - the Microsoft years {Engadget}
Jun 28th 2008 12:02AM Hey, wasn't Engadget giving away those SPOT watches at the Seattle event in Late 06 / Early 07? Yeah, I thought so. But I'm not too proud to admit that I wanted (a free) one and was bummed that I didn't get the prize.
Ah, fond memories! :-j
Study secretly tracked 100,000 cellphone users' locations {Engadget}
Jun 5th 2008 1:04AM Heck, this little experiment is small potatoes compared to the data that the credit card companies and grocery store chains are collecting on you... or did you think that they gave you a preferred customer card just because you were special?
HA! It's all about tracking what toilet paper you buy, what part of town you shop in, how often you travel outside your home neighborhood, how many babies you have (and therefore diapers you buy)... and that's just the stores.
Think of the data that the credit companies have on you. Your salary, everything you've ever bought on-line, where you've traveled for work, where you vacation, what type of car you prefer to rent versus what car you own, who you admire and send flowers to, the type of home you own or condo you rent, the jobs you've had, the restaurants you prefer, the smut you subscribe to, the gifts you buy and on what frequency, whether your a Borders, Amazon, or Barnes and Nobel type of person, Starbucks or Seattle's Best, Bud or Bud Light... these people have more data about who you are and where you go and when and how often and your preferences while you're there and how many drinks you have at which bars... and you're worried about a little anonymous cell phone tracking?
I say again, HA!

Ricoh's 10 megapixel R8 and R50 are ready to dance {Engadget}
Feb 19th 2008 7:06AM I'd love to know where you're getting your exchange rate, because by my current conversion calculations here in Yokosuka Japan, that's closer to a $480 to $490 camera. And with the falling dollar, it could be higher than that on a daily basis.
Debunk: Revenge of Stuff's Sony Ericsson PSPhone mockup {Engadget}
Feb 17th 2008 8:27PM @ M. Ishigaki - I'm not sure what portion of the population I represent, but I think you're full of poop. I'd buy that in a heartbeat, I'd sign a two year contract, and I'd replace my 1st Gen PSP because of this phone/game's sexiness. Also not sure what marketing research you have performed to base your claims on, but my observation has been that handheld synergy is all the rage: pda + phone, music player + phone, camera + phone, internet browser + phone, a combination of all the aforementioned... this just seems like the next evolution and your analysis seems completely unfounded.
Robot chef whips up delicacies we wouldn't dare touch {Engadget}
Feb 17th 2008 8:15AM The dish is called Taco Yaki and it is the bomb! This robot, however, has mutilated what is otherwise a fairly interesting dish to watch cooked. The human variety of chef will pour the egg batter into the cast iron egg crate and then add the piece of taco (i.e. octopus) and using two sticks start twirling the mixture in the egg crate until a perfect little ball of yummy goodness is perfectly golden in color. The vendor serves up the taco yaki with your choice of toppings; but let me suggest brown sauce, mayonnaise, and fish flakes for the perfect Japanese fast food meal.
