Feb 23rd 2007 3:49PM I still like last year's bookcase design.
SLICE looks pretty neat if you check out the concept - each of those "slices" is set to hold different types of files. Unfortunately, they suggest this as a replacement of folder hierarchies. Unless the concept was changed so you could break each "slice" into "sub-slices" so you can store information in easier to find, bite-sized folders, it could be annoying. Especially when trying to find that one song out of your 20 music slices. Not to mention the prospect of these things finding their ways into the hands of baseball playing children. "Noooo, my entire collection of 1980s cinema! Ruined!"
Robotic exoskeleton takes over for your lazy muscles {Engadget}
Feb 10th 2007 4:10PM I wonder how high the weight capacity is. After several months eliminating the only exercise I get (i.e., the walk from my computer chair to the bathroom/car [my fridge is next to the computer chair]), my weight would probably increase exponentially, crushing the pneumatic pylons that support my frame...

Detroit-area teen builds nuclear fusion reactor {Engadget}
Nov 24th 2006 6:00PM Corey, you didn't read my post carefully enough. I was not saying that the person in the article was stupid - I was saying the kid who built a breeder in his backyard was stupid. I even specified, not in the sense of lacking in intelligence, but rather, in the sense of he contaminated a large area of his neighborhood, and is lucky he didn't get hurt.
Please read posts more carefully before you pass judgment upon their authors, lest you become the very troll that you yourself so seek to find.
In any case, we had a fusor erected last year. However, a fusor built in spare time by physics graduates and with professors assisting isn't considered an amateur production. I repeat: the guy deserves credit for the dedication, I'm sure it took him a lot of research and fine tuning to build this thing - it's a great example of doing something for the love of it.
Detroit-area teen builds nuclear fusion reactor {Engadget}
Nov 23rd 2006 8:43PM It's a neat project. Though, I really don't get why this is getting such huge publicity. Fusors are very neat to build, but not exactly "omigod science project of the year!". What's nice to see is the guy put in 1,000 man hours over two years to build his project. Just in case anyone out there is completely in the dark about fusion, it's incredibly, incredibly improbable that you'll be able to build a surplus-energy fusion reactor out of easy-to-come-by parts in the near future. Unless you happen to be a major government. And know more about the science than the folks working on ITER...
Also, I wouldn't lump him with the kid who made the breeder reactor, for one major reason. It's a stupid, stupid thing to do. Not lacking in intelligence, but lacking in common sense. Playing with radioactive materials in appreciable quantities is not a good idea. Remember, it only takes 750 grams of Americium for critical mass - always nice to have a fission reaction start in your sock drawer.
PSP firmware 3.0 out in the wild {Engadget}
Nov 21st 2006 11:27AM Yeah, but think about this.
You are a PSP owner, waited in line for a PS3 with your blank check in your pocket, and ended up being number 57 with 52 PS3s available. And then your car battery dies.
Now you don't have a PS3, you have to buy a new battery, and you need to wait to download Metal Gear Solid. Sucks to be you eh?
