Genius introduces the G-Note 7100 digital pad {Engadget}
Feb 8th 2007 4:57PM This is a neat idea. It's been done before (don't remember the name of the other company making them) but why don't these companies offer more than 16MB or 32MB? Flash card/memory stick...anything?
AIST turns transparent glass into mirrors to conserve energy {Engadget}
Feb 1st 2007 10:31AM Cost? $125,000 per window section. But we're saving $40 a month in electricity!
LOL, I made those prices up. I'm all for energy savings, if it makes sense. For example, hybrids that cost $20,000 more than regular vehicles but only save $1,000 a year in fuel and need $3,000 in new batteries every three years...that doesn't make sense.
Inventor patents personal TV censor {Engadget}
Jan 30th 2007 10:12AM Ha! I just replied again asking if racial slurs were okay too since they're just words and Engadget wouldn't even accept my post with the "N word" in it. Should I cry censorship? I guess I'll have to mask it.
If swear words are "just words", how about racial slurs? Can people call black people "n*gg*rs"? Watch me get flamed for even quoting that. But "f*** you motherf****** a**hole" is okay, right? Just words. Why? Because you want the freedom to say what you want whenever you want without guilt, so you justify it to make yourself feel better.

Jan 30th 2007 10:00AM You guys crack me up. So it's somehow wrong to have a product that lets me turn off swear words if I don't want to hear them? Why? Because you think swear words are okay? Hahahaha. Because they're "just words"? So do you mean swear words should be acceptable in all conversations, too? They're "just words", right? You remind me of a guy I was talking with one time about pornography. He said hardcore porn should be freely accepted on TV, anytime. He said little kids should be able to see it. After all, he reasoned, it was "just sex" and we don't want them to be ashamed of sex, do we?
This company isn't forcing anyone to buy their product and no one is saying you don't have to listen to swear words. For those who don't want to hear them, this is a product for them. Don't like it? Don't buy it.
The genesis of the iPhone {Engadget}
Jan 9th 2007 7:14PM I've been a Cingular customer for year with no problems. They could have done this deal with any cell carrier and we'd be seeing the "(insert carrier name) sucks!" posts.
7.2Mbps HSDPA service to hit Cingular next year {Engadget}
Dec 8th 2006 1:41PM Cool if the price is reasonable and not $1 a Mb or MB. Otherwise it will be fun to read about all the rich geeks using it.
Arizona student envisions giant space mirrors for terraforming Mars {Engadget}
Nov 16th 2006 2:54PM So if a meteor were to break that giant mirror, just who gets the bad luck?
CompUSA to sell Vista Business this month {Engadget}
Nov 14th 2006 8:56AM Okay so wait a minute here. I can buy one Windows Vista Business Edition DVD for $300/$200 (full/upgrade) at CompUSA and install it on up to 5 PCs for concurrent use? I find that hard to believe but if it is, I'm in. But I suspect this isn't true.
From the article:
"[Cindy Bates, general manager of small business sales for CompUSA] said licensing several PCs would be at least 10 percent cheaper than if a small business owner simply bought boxes containing discs with Vista and the office software."
$199 * 5 = $995 (if you buy 5 individual copies)
$199 * 1 = $199 (if you buy 1 individual copy that's good on 5 PCs)
---------------
$796 savings
That's a WHOLE lot more than 10%, which leads me to think it's $300/$200 per PC license. But I hope I'm wrong.
Google Analytics and Feedburner Reports plugin for WordPress {Download Squad}
Nov 5th 2006 11:52PM I have it running on a few blogs and it seems to work well. I had trouble getting the automatic analytics code inclusion to work but I easily bypassed it by selecting the "manual" option and pasting the GA javascript in the header. Works fine that way.
Royale Noir: "Lost" XP theme discovered {Download Squad}
Oct 30th 2006 12:39PM I tried it, it works and it's beautiful. Dumb as this might sound, it almost seems like I got an OS upgrade. Made XP look way more modern. So thanks.
