Canon 50D firmware update fixes vertical banding issues {Engadget}
Apr 23rd 2009 8:09AM In order to "fix" the issue it would have had to be a problem, but since it was just a "phenomenon" Canon only had to "address" it.
Mini Hydro Turbine concept could bring renewable energy production to your bathroom {Engadget}
Apr 6th 2009 9:55AM Jorvay: Exactly, if people want less pressure, then they should open the faucet less.
paragraph: If your lamp it too bright, then you should get a dimmer bulb or turn on less lights, not put solar cells (which are only 20-30% efficient) inside the shade.
Converting from one form of energy to another (mechanical to electrical, electrical to mechanical, solar to electrical, electrical to solar, etc) is not 100% efficient. You lose energy every time.
The best thing we can do is to use only what you need: Turn on only the lights you need, used only the water you need, etc.

Apr 6th 2009 9:39AM wwhat: Except it puts additional load on the water pumps, which increases the electricity used by the pumps, which increases the cost per gallon of water coming out of your faucet, thus your water bill will go up.
It is NOT free.

Apr 6th 2009 8:25AM This is not free energy, it's a waste. Water pressure comes from pumps that use electricity which you are then turning back into electricity.
This is like using the power provided by the phone company to light your house.

Microsoft pay-as-you-go patent application rejected {Engadget}
Jan 2nd 2009 5:32PM Was this just the first office action? If so, then its not that big of a deal, almost every patent application is rejected after filing. Microsoft can still file a response and all sorts of other stuff including continuations and requests for continued examination. This could go on for years.
Orange's iPhone exclusive ruled illegal in France {Engadget}
Dec 17th 2008 10:15AM Lets see now. An exclusivity deal encourages other phone networks AND manufacturers to make better phones so they can compete with the exclusivity deal.
Now that all the networks can sell the "best phone" they lose some of their incentive to encourage manufactures to make better phones.
Oh well.
Monster Cable still evil, will allow Monster Mini Golf to exist for just $100/month (per franchise) {Engadget}
Dec 15th 2008 6:33PM Wait, so Monster gets a huge concession (that Monster Cable owns the mark) from Monster Mini Golf and the promise to take $100 of Mini Golfs money and give it to charity.
It would make a little more sense if Monster Cable had agreed to take $1 from Mini Golf (and even that's probably not required to satisfy consideration of the contract) and then give $100 a month to charity.
