AOpen's Ion-powered XC Mini GP7A-HD puts the 'choice' in 'nettop'

Nov 22nd 2009 11:55AM on Engadget

This is exactly what I want. I like nettops, but Atoms are too puny to drive most things at 1080p with any sort of speed. Toss in an inexpensive, cool-running Celeron E3200 and all this is solved.

Live from Google's Chrome OS project announcement

@Kevin Niven Huh? Google's been one to watch since 1998.

A clip from the new Doctor Who CGI

Nov 5th 2009 11:09AM on TV Squad

Yep, this is great CG circa 1994. Today, it's inexcusably bad for a network like the BBC. I know high school students that could make something that looks better than this.

How to automatically skip commercials in Windows 7 Media Center

Oct 22nd 2009 11:42PM on Engadget HD

So, will commercials be skipped on Extenders after being scanned?

FireCore console pre-loaded with Genesis games, plays carts

Sep 22nd 2009 6:19PM on Joystiq

My GOD, that's the worst Genesis sound emulation I've ever heard.

George W. Bush canceled Reading Rainbow

Aug 29th 2009 9:13PM on TV Squad

That's because he hasn't had anything to do with the show since it wrapped production in 2006. It's all been reruns since then - that's what's sad about it. Nobody will even pay for the reruns.

I say stick 'em all on Hulu and be done with it.

Felicia Day ... the next American Idol?

Aug 18th 2009 10:46AM on TV Squad

I'm sorry, I love Felicia Day, but she's not a strong singer. She's good in Dr. Horrible, but none of the songs there made me think "Wow, she's amazing" (like some of Neil Patrick Harris's songs did). (DYWDM)Avatar works because of INTENSE use of auto-tune.

I think Avatar was released as a sort of fundraiser/awareness builder for The Guild Season 3. If I'm mistaken, and she really does want to launch a singing career...well, I won't be tagging along.

sounds good to me! it's a pretty awesome computer.

How-to: Build a Blu-ray / TV tuner-equipped HTPC for under $1,000

Jul 21st 2009 2:20PM on Engadget

That processor is overkill for this application - I use an E5200, which is $67 on Newegg, and it does just fine, even for 1080p flash video.

Engadget HD giveaway: win a copy of Coraline on Blu-ray!

Jul 20th 2009 3:13PM on Engadget HD

Right on, I'm trying to build a Blu-Ray library, and this will sit nicely right beside Corpse Bride.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
