BenQ's ultraportable, 7 megapixel DC E720

Sep 1st 2006 1:23PM on Engadget

That looks surprisingly like my Exilim EX-S500.

Engadget's Cleaning Out Our Closet Contest

My name is Daniel Robert Gentleman, and I'm an addict. An Engadget addict. And I'd like number twenty one please.

How-To: Mod your espresso machine

Aug 8th 2006 4:32PM on Engadget

Can you post a temperature control mod? Mine is a little wacky about when it decides to turn on and off the heater and my crema is a bit weak as a result.

Daewoo Lucoms releases Solo M1 UMPC

Jul 18th 2006 5:20PM on Engadget

I wrote an open letter to Microsoft regarding UMPCs. I think it's very much in line with the thoughts Engadget editors have on this.

Hope you enjoy it.

Gadget vs Dynamizer in robot grudgematch

May 8th 2006 5:18PM on Engadget

Damn. And I was impressed by robot I put together with the VEX kit that was on woot.com last month. I made a little video of it and put it in my "site's URL" thing above.

I can see I have a LOT left to learn. Like how to counterweight and balance, for one ;)

Study confirms the obvious: chatting behind the wheel is dangerous

Apr 20th 2006 8:06PM on Engadget Mobile

Mythbusters (I love those guys) covered this in "Episode 33: Killer Brace Position and Cellphones vs Drunk Driving"

They determined that driving while talking on the phone was just as dangerous as driving while drunk but made sure to mention that you can PUT DOWN THE PHONE at any time whereas you cannot put down your blood alcohol content.

Casio Exilim EX-S600 reviewed

Mar 22nd 2006 3:31PM on Engadget

High praise for this line. My ES-X500 is perfect for nearly everything - except macro video. When I try to make videos of my HOWTO's on my Nokia 770 blog, It focuses in "macro" but then takes itself OUT of macro mode when you hit "video record"

As a point-and-shoot and occasional video recorder, it's a trooper and oh-so-tiny!

Will XP melt your Mac?

Mar 20th 2006 2:25PM on Engadget

I KNOW THE TRUTH!

Microsoft anticipated the Intel iMac years ago when it wrote Windows XP Service Pack 2. When the service pack was released, it had special code to detect if it's installed on a Mac and turn OFF the fan! That way people will destroy their Macs!

Yeah! That's it!

It's our 2nd birthday and we're giving you the presents!

How many times can I say how wonderful that coverage was?

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."
