Nice...now if only I could make money by selling my body so that I can afford to pay these fresher prostitutes. I'm joking stupid! Perhaps the population of this planet is too dense since everyone seems to have a hard time getting/keeping jobs anymore. However i feel its greatly due to the hoarding nature of humans. Large proportions of wealth transfer through the same names and hands. It stays in the family.
Maybe I'm not a mind reader, maybe I'm stupid...I don't know what the thing is for! A Flash player...it plays flash files? All the comments comparing it to iPods I wonder is it a MP3 player? Whatever it is, I won't be buying one
Kudos!
Stating false claims to take money from you is (or definitely should be) illegal. Its a con, its like telling someone their automobile needs a new transmission when it doesn't to take a couple thousand dollars from them...its WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!
The person responsible for sending out these lies should face criminal prosecution and those deceived should be issued a full refund PLUS accrued interest.
There is right and there is wrong, that simple.
I can't believe all these comments FOR extra fees! If you like to throw money away I assume that you must not bust your a** for a living. But for those who do and need a cellphone, the market is swamped with service by contract only carriers. But it goes against free market, where a customer may change service if s/he finds a cheaper service or just can't afford to continue paying.
One person commented that it'd be the end of smartphones in the U.S. HAH! I beg to differ, if the smartphones cost too much and demand falls, price will have to drop as well. Since technology is constantly improving over time, the next "latest" phone/computer gadget that comes out puts the older models in a discount corner (like automobiles).
The early termination fees were just a way to lock you in or be punished for not being satisfied with the service.Can't believe ya'll don't see it like it is...obviously the judge in the Verizon case did.
Look at the chart's "layers" and get an understanding of different frequencies, fool.

I don't see any words being fancy nor am I ignorant to physics and science. You said "sunlight doesn't have layers", well maybe not in the fashion of layered cake. Sunlight can, though, be separated by frequency which is what the new device's layers accomplish. One could assume that the layers of solar spectrum the article stated as being select ranges of the total spectrum, although it may be false since I had not seen the original story due to lack of interest in solar power.
Every article Engadget writes is an incorrectly summarized version of another story, it's how the staff does things (half-assed).

For the hell of it: You can go and sit on my lap with the rest of my bitches.
You need to learn to read. The article's author wrote: "The unique semiconductors used...can capture three layers of the solar spectrum..."
Nowhere does it say "sunlight", but the light from the sun does have different wave frequencies (light exists as both particle and wave form).
I have a suggestion of what they can do with those sticks... (figure it out)
I find it strange that all these technology sites that feature commenting (Digg, Engadget, PC World, etc.) post articles that either lacks details on key areas, is false or unrealistically optimistic in future breakthroughs, or misinforms the readers.
Where are the results from Benchmark tests of different computer systems with and without ReadyBoost drives attached? Shows some charts of results and explain how you ran the tests, what would readers need to know about varying factors?
I am running Vista Ultimate with a PIII Mobile, 1Ghz system 768 MB RAM and have noticed much more disk activity than I experienced with XP Pro and was looking to find out whether I should purchase a flash drive that is designed for ReadyBoost or save my money for next computer purchase. Reading this article alone, one would think it isn't worth it. Fortunately, reading the comments can give much more pertinent info on topic from many different users experience. If it weren't for the commenting ability of these types of websites, they would not have many hits since the articles are trash (would say their worthless, but that is debateable since they serve to drive uptight people to anger, which in turn garners popularity as more people go to site and post their angry comments or feelings)

Can you part with some of your dope? I hate that your sister Anna Nicole Smith overdosed on your supply, what a shame.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
