Nikon Coolpix S70 unboxing and hands-on

Dec 6th 2009 10:36AM on Engadget

Kiddie-cam. No optical viewfinder, gimmicky touch UI, and useless resolution claims. Die evil one, die!

RedEye turns your iPhone and iPod touch into bona fide universal remote (video)

Dec 2nd 2009 3:20PM on Engadget

Logitech's Harmony remote is a long-running tragedy. The device database maintained by Logitech is full of errors and omissions, so I hope this gadget gains traction just to light a fire and give them some competition. The Harmony hardware is old school, and I can see how iPhone will have far more appeal.

Microsoft roadmap pegs Windows 8 release for 2012, or just after the world's end

"you clearly have no clue how large scale software development works ... "

And judging from what we saw with Longhorn and Vista, neither do most of the coders at Microsoft.

MIT researchers develop liquid metal battery for the grid and the home

If I had a dollar for every breathless "breakthrough" announced by MIT over the past 40 years, I could probably buy a netbook. Don't you remember last year's "PV window coatings will power green homes!"? So practical and affordable.

I have nothing against R&D, but PR departments and popular science writers who spin it as something imminently useful are not doing us any favors.

Evoluce ONE gives you 47 inches of multitouch surface to play with (video)

Look at the way people have to sit at this silly thing. To touch the middle of the screen, they have to get up off of their seat and that puts a huge strain on the back muscles of a typical overweight dweeb -- talk about poor ergonomics. And what happens when a Big Gulp gets spilled?

Anyone who thinks Surface is a great, breakthrough technology needs to have their head examined.

Cranberry DiamonDisc: the $35 DVD that'll last longer than your ghost

There are only three proven methods for storing and transmitting data more than 1000 years into the future. They are clay/stone tablets, large stacked stones, and large mounds of dirt. Unfortunately, none are suitable for 4.7 GB of data.

ioSafe Solo hard drive places a 2TB bet on all kinds of disasters

Nov 14th 2009 8:15AM on Engadget

Dammit to hell! Why oh why do you have to show the price Engadget? -- it reminds me of how much I paid for a whimpy, puny, 500 GB, non-Jasonproof drive last year.

Dress lit up with 24,000 LEDs, perfect for your next formal rave

Nov 13th 2009 3:08PM on Engadget

The nerd in me says this dress requires about 24 amps of current -- I hope it's fire proof.

FLO TV Personal Television now on sale for $250, should be in cereal boxes soon

Nov 13th 2009 11:34AM on Engadget

How many millions of $250 "pocket" TVs were sold with analog tuners? They are all 100% obsolete now. A lesson is hidden in there somewhere...

NASA turns iPhone into chemical sensor, can an App Store rejection be far away?

Nov 13th 2009 8:09AM on Engadget

But Zune has an OLED, and I can hook it up with an XBox. What the hell does NASA know anyway? Fanbois.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
