Neolux badges bring e-ink technology to trade show vendors, sweaty rock dudes {Engadget}
Sep 22nd 2009 11:39PM It isn't official COLOR e-ink... It is similair to traditional black/white e-ink, however it either utilizes a color over-lay, or colored cells, with a traditional black/white e-ink controller. Note how areas of color always maintain their color, even when dark. This can be seen throughout their product line and samples gallery. Colored areas never go to white or grey/black, because they are permanently color, and the controller treats th whole badge as monochromatic.
It is actually quite smart (from a cost and implementation perspective), as well as quite tragic (from a usability/re-usability perspective), as the badge/product can be used for one purpose, and one purpose only, and can never be re-purposed if need be.
In other words, you could not simply hack one of these, your boned (you could re-purpose the monochromatic space I suppose, but it would be tricky, and doubtfully useful when the color is part of the validity and presentation of the badge).
Alas, cutting corners and blowing sunshine. Nothing new to see here...
OLPC gets microwaved, molded into stunning piece of art {Engadget}
Sep 18th 2009 11:33AM Did anyone actually watch this all the way through? Note how the "slug" isn't made up of ANYTHING that has to do with the OLPC... It's just a weird THING on top of a microwaved OLPC... I bet it still smells like all hell, and it killed a few Africans in the making anyway...
Is this guy out of his MIND?
20% of $26,001 is $5,200... He is making a killing killing the environment and brain cells...

Microsoft builds pretend retail store, wants to play house later {Engadget}
Jan 13th 2009 2:40PM Picture 3, the exit is fake, as well the parking lot and cars... WEIRD! After noticing that the store suddenly struck me as a bad Twilight Zone set... Not. Cool.
Nikon D3x DSLR preview roundup {Engadget}
Dec 5th 2008 9:41PM Wait... Sony doesn't have the glass? I said it is for want of an "awesome" lens line-up. I didn't say Sony doesn't have the glass, because they do.
Sony lacks: Tilt-Shift, Perspective Correction, a prime for every conceivable focal-length, 30 white lenses.
Sony does, however, have: Zeiss glass (there is contention here, Zeiss doesn't "make" the lenses, but they are made to exacting Zeiss specifications, which is the whole point), STF lenses (look it up), Minolta glass (stop bellyaching, this glass is some of the best, do your homework), "enough" primes. Oh, and in-body stabilization, which, while not "tailored to the lens" like Canon's IS and Nikon's VR (which, based on the algorithms that drive the tech, they actually are) is effectively future-proof, as the algorithms and hardware get updated and refreshed with each body (meaning, not only is all your glass IS, it also gets updated every time you upgrade your body [and there's one less thing to break in your lens]).
Sony's lens line up isn't as thorough, but what is there is excellent quality, and more than capable of resolving a +24mp sensor.
So, lenses and lens resolving resolutions out of it, as well as everything else that distinguishes CaNikon fron Sony, how do the D3x and a900 sensors compare?
Nikon D3x DSLR preview roundup {Engadget}
Dec 5th 2008 4:02PM I am confused... Why no mention of the a900. While not a "Pro" body, the sensor, at least, should be taken into comparison. I mean, the thing costs $5000 more, I would be interested to see what (besides driving nails, weathering a downpour, excellent customer service, an awesome lens line-up, etc) that $5000 extra gets me.
[Note:] I am aware of the Nikon, Canon domination right now, I get it, so lets hold the flames, its just a question.
RED's Digital Still and Motion Camera System now official {Engadget}
Nov 13th 2008 11:43AM Uh... I disagree.... These aren't just video cameras with a convenient still feature. This is brilliance.
First, these are neither video camera or still camera, they are "Camera." There is a modular platform with a digital image sensor. This platform can be configured to take either video or still images (even 3D video or still), but at the base level, it is neither. So there is no "convenience" factor, it is simply whatever it is configured to... It is Schrödinger's Cat... It is both...
Secondly, this doesn't kill DSLRs... It doesn't even Overkill DSLRs... In the face of this device, DSLRs don't exist, they aren't even a factor. It's like saying masturbating kills babies.
Name ONE DSLR, medium format DSLR or large format DSLR that can take a 261mp still! The still feature in this system is not for the average person, or even the above average person, but neither is the video feature.
This is for a certain clientèle, and in the hands of that clientèle, it will change things. But with the price of putting a full system together, and the price of the editing equipment that will be required to process the data coming from this system, you are sadly mistaken to say this brings professional video to the masses...
Internal Combustion Guitar - gnarly guitar tone at a polite volume {Engadget}
Sep 26th 2008 2:40PM Ok, and how much would it cost to mod a stock electronic Axe to do the same? Radio Shack and I guess $150 on the outset.
It sure is nice though...

Sep 23rd 2008 5:47PM @KO: Explain how this phone is bad? I would like a more elaborate reasoning why you think this phone is such a fail?
Granted, there hasn't been quite the iPhone hype about this product (I have an iPhone by the way), but I would like to hear your reasoning for making yourself sound like an idiot... Or just is it just insanity?
