MIT gurus dream up self-sustaining sensor network for preventing forest fires

Why is a tiny amount of power coming from a tree better than using a tiny solar cell for power?

Indian neuroscientist peers into a woman's brain, finds guilt

Sep 15th 2008 11:57PM on Engadget

Sounds like rubbish science, but good enough for convicting some presumably powerless woman who anyway committed the
unspeakable crime of eloping with another man. Not good enough to convict a powerful man any time soon, I'll bet you.

IOGEAR's AA-powered GearJuice gives you 15 more minutes to yap

"We'd probably go in with lower expectations just to be safe." Thanks for the careful research, man, but from Greg Baz's comment it looks like you guessed wrong.

I-O Data rolls out mobile Bluetooth keyboard

You write a piece on an "absurdly diminutive" keyboard and you can't be bothered to say its size. Fabulous.

It was sarcasm.

Sharp trumpets world's thinnest 5-megapixel CMOS sensor

ethana2, ideally you'd catch all the photons that came into the lens, so it would be about the lens size, not the sensor size. (That's why good cameras have big lenses and good telescopes have huge mirrors.) Anyway, the answer is "a lot" -- your eye's not huge, and think of the resolution that gives you.

Grasshoppper "robot" sets new high-jump record

I think yours is the first reference to SWIFT, but Engadget has it right:
English: Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
French: Ecole Polytechnique Federale (Lausanne)
German: Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (Zürich)

Open-source OGD1 graphics card up for pre-order

I could pick a small nit with the "of course", but thanks for the straight reporting.

Impressive, yet stupid.

BlackLine's GPS Snitch tracks straying partner's joyrides

Mar 6th 2008 2:12AM on Engadget

I wouldn't track my partner, but I would track my cat: I'm sure he'd tell me where he goes, if he could talk. Unfortunately the gps-snitch website is all hype no fact. How big is it? What does it weigh? Seems like they lock you into a service plan, too -- that low, low $399 price just isn't enough.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
