Now you have my attention for a truely portable computer. This could even replace my Dell Inspiron 8200 with dual batteries. That's only about 30 minutes less than my old 15" 10lb dual battery monstrosity.
That 6cell battery had better not be some outside of the case standout piece of hideousness though.
Pioneer KURO and friends hands-on {Engadget}
May 7th 2008 4:21PM Point being, there's not much Pioneer can do to the demo to make their's look that much better than the competition. And why would they? If you have a flat out better product, just show us a fairly even demo (factory settings) and you'll get tons more cred for it than tampering with the comparison.

May 7th 2008 4:19PM LCD is almost there. Maybe the next generation will overtake plasma in picture quality?
But seriously, I'd like to see them throw in a budget plasma like a vizio 50" just for comparison's sake.
And btw, pioneer may have set up the demo, but I doubt they changed the TV settings from factory on the "competitor's" units because it would have just been too obvious. And besides, why? It's already pretty clear who the winner is.
Ask Engadget HD: What's the best 60-inch (or more) 1080p monitor? {Engadget HD}
May 7th 2008 2:09PM Either get a 65" Panasonic (slight size advantage) or a 60" pioneer (slight quality advantage).
If you want to cheap out, there's a middle option (in quality between the LCD's and the high end plasmas), the Vizio 60", but it's in a different class even from the 50" vizios, much less these Pioneer and Panasonics. Still, better and bigger than LCD's.
Solar-powered hearing aids improve life in developing nations {Engadget}
May 6th 2008 8:59PM Then he should definitely be in Canada. They have less fortunate people that can't hear either, and they're the ones that gave him the opportunity to be who he is.

May 6th 2008 6:35PM Why must it always be other parts of the world?
I've done vision clinics in the Texas border area, Appalachia (Eastern KY hills), and the inner city in Union, TN. These kids were all just as grateful for being able to see as African kids. All kids are worthy, but really, we need to recognize the circumstances of our fellow citizens occasionally too and give back to the country (we the people) that gives us such a great place to live.
Again, I'm not knocking this guy's work; he's to be commended. I just wonder why we're so focused on spending our time and energy on people of other countries rather than our fellow citizens.
Microsoft denies Xbox 360 Blu-ray reports yet again {Engadget HD}
May 5th 2008 5:08PM Mr. E, you're dead on. She said "won't release a 'drive'".
In August, it'll be "well, we didn't say anything about not releasing an all new 'xbox 360 theatre' version".
Ask Engadget HD: Is switching from cable to satellite worth it? {Engadget HD}
Apr 30th 2008 2:16PM I still don't understand why we don't have a USB dongle for Dish and DirecTV when they're coming for switched digital video.
I wish they would all just make a USB dongle so that we could use whatever DVR we wanted.
Paramount officially rejoins the Blu-ray camp on May 20th {Engadget HD}
Apr 30th 2008 11:29AM I really hope so. My wife and I wanted to see that one.
Hawaii volcano film to be released on Blu-ray... and HD DVD? {Engadget HD}
Apr 30th 2008 11:12AM Uh, I'm interested in the movie, and I have an HDDVD player not an uber-expensive blu-ray player. I own about 15 HDDVD's, so I must not buy stuff just because it's on HDDVD.
There goes your half-brain theory.
