The Ribbon goes to... optional?

Sep 4th 2006 12:53PM on Download Squad

Maybe you should have read the whole article?...

Update: Office Rocker Darren Strange says this is not a concession at all:

There has been a little flurry of rumours on the blogsphere including the ever excitable slashdot that we have radically changed the ribbon, making it much smaller. Some are saying that we are even backing away from the ribbon or that we received "complaints" that it was too big.

I've checked with the source that is Jensen and his team and this is not the case. All we can think of is that somebody got confused about the minimised ribbon feature which has been in there from the beginning. There have been some recent improvements to the way the minimised ribbon works I suppose - e.g. a sort of "autohide" so that now it will return to a minimised state after using a feature.

Kodak's V570 Torino (Turin) Olympics 2006 edition

Jan 21st 2006 11:33PM on Engadget

The thought of having two lenses is impressive, but the original Kodak didn't impress me much. And I can't say that having the little Olympics logo really changes the camera. I think they are just being ridiculous at this point!

Do you think it's time for WMCE and Tablet to merge?

Jan 21st 2006 11:29PM on Engadget HD

I think that it is a good idea to merge the two systems, but I think they first need to focus on perfecting the Tablet PC. I have a Tablet PC and it runs a little hot and the cost is a little higher than it needs to be. I would like to see the Tablet PC's fall down to the price range that some laptops are going to: around $600 - $700!

MSN takes it on the chin for release of search data

Of course I admire Google, they actually have a backbone! I didn't even realize MSN was still used for searching :D

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!"
