Bubble Level: surprisingly useful {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Aug 2nd 2008 7:20PM The calibration screen in the very nicely executed "Labyrinth LE" has a very effective two-axis bubble level. Fun and useful in one app!
Formula One to introduce hybrid Kinetic Energy Recovery System in 2009 {Engadget}
Apr 24th 2008 6:39AM This doesn't have to be about making the cars completely green. As with many things in F1, it's about developing new technology that will find it's way into road cars in the future, where it will make a big difference. Unlike the eco-disaster that is the Prius.
And anyway, isn't the pro-golf tour known to be significantly LESS green than F1?
@cheater : Steel? Roll cage? You're kidding, right?
Ask TUAW: Remote file access, converting images to CMYK, VNC on OS X, Time Machine and more {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Apr 21st 2008 1:02PM Yes, the Tight viewer works with the regular server, but without the benefits of the Tight encoding. And for me at least, the built in server would often semi-crash on disconnect, consuming 100% CPU.

Apr 20th 2008 2:06PM The built-in VNC server doesn't use the more advanced encoding schemes that make for a better experience over the internet. Try Vine Server instead - it's still VNC, but you need a viewer that supports the better encodings too.

Seiko's Spring Drive Spacewalk watch for earthbound and spacelings alike {Engadget}
Apr 6th 2008 10:45AM The history of it all is quite interesting, especially Bulova's attempts to replace the Speedmaster with an American made watch. When they couldn't build one good enough, they resorted to re-casing a Swiss movement, and that still failed humidity and acceleration tests:

Military Turing test to make autonomous war robots legal? {Engadget}
Feb 29th 2008 10:50AM Autonomous killing machines may be considered illegal, but a "remote control" killing machine is NOT autonomous. Not saying either is a good thing, just clearing up some confusion in the post. It seems to be suggesting somebody's decided it is legal, or to ignore the fact that it isn't. "Remote control" and "autonomous" are very different things.
Elekit's TU-873KEII tube amplifier for DIYers who can {Engadget}
Feb 8th 2008 4:36AM Yeh, I'm thinking that upper limit should be 50kHz, rather than the 50Hz it currently says.
TUAW Interviews Christopher Breen {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jan 18th 2008 3:39PM Why's the MacBook Air described as fragile? Are they known to break easily?
Or was the intention really to describe it's light and slender appearance, rather than question it's ruggedness?
Poll: How do you want us to write the Jobsnote? Top to bottom, or vice versa? {Engadget}
Jan 14th 2008 3:50AM I'll be getting my fix from a more elegant, less ad-heavy source.
Fraunhofer says HD-ACC will make CDs "obsolete" {Engadget}
Jan 11th 2008 3:07AM The software might do 32 (inevitable since it's a more CPU friendly size) - I was talking about hardware to capture the sound in the first place. Without that, there's little point.
