Luxim wants to brighten your block with ultra-powerful plasma lightbulbs {Engadget}
Mar 18th 2008 12:35PM It's stated in strange way in the video, but I think they are referring to the correlated color temperature, not the actual measured temperature of the plasme. The light emitted from the lamp is the same color as a blackbody radiator at 6000K. Hence his comment about the light looking similar to the spectrum of sunlight.

In case you're not being sarcastic... it's a pretty big leap to say that just because there is a 250W lamp, the same technology would work in 25W package.
And besides, there are already household lamps available that provide the lumen output of a 40W incandescent with a 10W lamp... compact fluorescent.
The Torch flashlight: why illuminate when you can incinerate? {Engadget}
Jan 28th 2008 2:30PM @David, good point. But wouldn't it be even more effective if the light was more focused? Or do you think the loss in efficiency (from a lens/modified reflector) would balance that out?

Jan 28th 2008 1:59PM I think I see where you are going here...
I would assume that it uses a very "inefficient" lamp that emits more in the IR portion of the spectrum and an elliptical reflector to focus the radiation at a single point.
Can't check the site.. looks like it may have been engadgeted? (engadged?)

Wolfking announces MVP series gamepad and mouse for gamers {Engadget}
Jan 7th 2008 3:15PM Could you just get a less ergonomic mouse and learn to use it with your left hand? Do you really need to type with one hand and write with the other at the same time?
If so, you should get that act on the road and quickly.
Wave power to be put to use in California {Engadget}
Dec 19th 2007 1:33PM 2 MW is just for the initial deployment. They are claiming that they will be able to scale up to a 100 MW plant if all goes well.
I also don't recall them mentioning that they were the answer to New York's power demands. Did I miss that in there somewhere?

eeeXubuntu: Ubuntu distilled for your Eee {Engadget}
Dec 13th 2007 1:04PM I like that, but I'm guessing it's EeeXubuntu so that it's obvious that it's based on Xubuntu and not Ubuntu.
How about Xeeebuntu? (Chee-boon-too)?
FuelPod2 converts excess cooking oil into biodiesel {Engadget}
Dec 5th 2007 4:46PM Guy, how much oil do you think you use in your kitchen?
Unless you are running some sort of doughnut speakeasy... I don't think it would be a (literal) drop in the bucket compared to how much heating oil is in your house right now.
