Retirees plan to take to the skies with flying car

Apr 6th 2007 12:01PM on Engadget

Looks like it's not so much a flying car; more like an airplane you could drive on a highway.

Stolen Zune recovered while attempting to join the social

Mar 15th 2007 4:22PM on Engadget

They've reviewed the device several times, and it sucked according to their reviews. Why then should Engadget proceed to be 'objective' when they have already given it an objective look and determined it sucks?

And the fact that you're looking for journalistic integrity on a blog is pretty laughable, in my opinion. But that's just me.

Shit, I don't think I'm gonna get an invite to the social now :(

Oh hell yeah, this post reminded me to check whether radioshack.com had the FlyTech DragonFly in stock, and they currently do! I just ordered one.

Art Lebedev intros Verbarius electronic clock

Feb 21st 2007 4:07PM on Engadget

My next business will produce awesome concept drawings of a really cool device that I can never build but that will get me lots of media hype. Then, even after I fail to deliver, news outlets will still provide coverage of shitty devices I produce like lame-ass clocks and single-use piggy banks with questionable style.

Seriously, stop giving these hacks presstime until they can actually deliver a product that isn't made entirely of rubber or ceramic. Last I checked, piggy banks and erasers aren't really gadgets.

Thanko's Vonia bone conducting earphones

Just because it's using bone conduction doesn't mean it will let deaf people hear. Sure you can feel the vibrations, but without a functioning inner ear apparatus to translate those vibrations in audio signals your brain can process, you won't hear anything.

The only reason bone conduction is good for hearing impaired (NOT deaf) people is that the sound is very isolated from background noise, thereby improving clarity.

Genius introduces the G-Note 7100 digital pad

Feb 8th 2007 5:35PM on Engadget

Hmm... where can I get it for $160? I'm seeing $189 on geniuseshop.com. Seems like a pretty cool device though.

Ristretto coffee mouse brings the beans and the ugly

I'm pretty sure I made one of these this morning, but I remembered to flush.

South Korea warns against willy nilly Vista upgrades

If your bank is using ActiveX controls at all, it's time to look for a new bank.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a wireless trackpad to use with my older (2.5 or so years old) C2D MacBook that's perpetually docked to my home theater. Something sleek, thin, not too small, made of high quality materials. Ideally, it would natively support all of (Snow) Leopard's multitouch inputs, and even more ideally, it would have a charging dock / base. The only problem is that I'm not sure that such a thing even exists. Think you can throw me a bone?"
