Poll: Do you / will you use Windows Media Center in your home theater?

Aug 3rd 2009 10:28AM on Engadget HD

Am a Plex fan too, with EyeTv integration I might end up using it all the time. The lack of blu-ray support is holding me back also.

Always been a big fan on Windows Media Center though (built a couple of boxes over the years) What Tuner are you using Alex?

LonMID M100 is a giant smartphone or tiny netbook, you choose

That's my side phone...

Palm's VP of design shows off Pre features, scoffs at N95

Jan 30th 2009 6:38AM on Engadget

Ye he did, has been discussed in other comments above. But, did he say first phone in the world with a dailpad on the Qwerty keyboard. Surely there are loads of those . Unless I mis-understood.

Pre does look awesome though. Give me one someone!

Sony XEL-1 OLED TV lands in the UK, now twice the price

Jan 28th 2009 3:56AM on Engadget

That's ridiculous! How ridiculous I hear you ask. Well it's cheaper for me to Fly to New York from London this Saturday, spend the night in a hotel, buy the TV and fly back the next day! £345.20 + £80 + £1749.62 = £2174.42 That a saving of £1314.58! or $1881.81

I assume the TV doesn't weigh much but let's you may have to pay a little excess, plus transport costs and food. Maybe another £200? That's still over a £1000 saving

Video: Meizu M8 prepped for full-scale launch, IP battle with Apple

I assume the screen is capacitive. So won't work with a glove on. Why wear one at all though I suppose

Front Row update

Jan 16th 2008 5:07AM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

I came here just to check that, I'm so disappointed they haven't fixed this. It was great in the previous version and now it looks so drab when you're using a shared library. :(

London's Heathrow Express to get half-kilometer-long LED video display

Oops, maybe the version I saw was the static one. Ignore me

London's Heathrow Express to get half-kilometer-long LED video display

Dec 3rd 2007 6:04PM on Engadget

I got on the Heathrow Express 2 weeks ago and this is already there, or maybe they were testing it. It was really quite cool seeing the video run, kind of like an animation.

The ad was for Windows Mobile

All about Leopard: gallery, apps, impressions

For Quicklook you just have to press the Spacebar (rather than comman+Y) and it's an awesome feature

MIT takes on DARPA's Urban Challenge

Sep 4th 2007 1:45PM on Engadget

Think you've become a little confused Frank. Yes, Stanford did win the DARPA unmaned vehicle contest but this is however the URBAN challenge which has yet to be held for the first time.

MITs looks to be the most technologically beefy. Uber geekness

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
