Black Friday Giveaways (part 19): Wii + Metroid Prime 3 and more {Engadget}
Nov 23rd 2007 10:49PM I wonder whether it's truly random, or if a witty comment can win the day.
Black Friday Giveaways (part 2): Microsoft LifeCam VX-7000 {Engadget}
Nov 23rd 2007 3:20AM Maybe my odds are better now that it's 3 AM Eastern. Arg.
AMD adds triple-core Phenom processor to desktop roadmap {Engadget}
Sep 18th 2007 1:14PM This is all about the process. They can take a 4 core chip with a broken core and still sell it.
And we've all heard about the trouble AMD has had clocking their newest chips above 2.0 Ghz. If they can disable the 'slowest' core and clock the other 3 at 2.5 Ghz, that's a good tradeoff. It will buy them some time until they can improve their fab process.
The hundred gadget giveaway: round 4 {Engadget}
Sep 4th 2007 6:05PM Speaker FTW. Currently wondering whether spending 30 seconds of time on this thing is worth it, given the odds.
TiVo HD DVR is the newest Series3, TiVoToGo coming back {Engadget}
Jul 23rd 2007 3:27PM I hope enabling TivoToGo enables playing content in the other direction as well. One of the things I use my Tivo Series 2 for the most is to stream DivX files from my PC to the television using TivoDotNet or another software. Easy to setup and it can handle handle fileformat or codec I've tried.

Okay, someone tip us off. Who knows where Google is spending the most money (brands or models)?
World's first "commercial" quantum computer solves Sudoku {Engadget}
Feb 14th 2007 4:02PM The basic gist of this Dwave thing:
1) If this experiment had been done at a University and they had published how exactly everything worked, it would indeed have been a pretty big leap in quantum computing. But right now, their computer is a black box. Nobody outside the company can say for sure that this their system really works the way they say it does, or if it is really a quantum computer at all.
2) It's a private company so they probably won't want to publish their secrets for awhile. That means the only way to really verify this thing is if they manage to scale up their system to handle bigger problems. At some point they would be able to prove it's a quantum computer just by solving certain problems faster than any conventional computer around could.
3) From a theoretical standpoint, they've taken an unconventional approach to quantum computing. It might just work, but nobody is sure right now. Once again, it's hard to say given that so little is known about the actual details of their setup.

Wii gameplay video (Wii Sports and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess) {Engadget}
Nov 12th 2006 7:02PM Hey guys,
WE NEED TO SEE YOU PLAYING THE GAMES. That's the whole point of the wii. It's impossible to get a feeling for how the game actually plays if you can't see the motions.
