People will make long lines when iDealers start selling them, even though most people on the lines don't even know how to drive.

Driving wheel will be tiny and awkward. But if you can't use it, you're just an idiot or something.

Interesting, but the idea is not completely new.
In Japan, there are some sushi restaurants that have automated.... don't know how to call it. Something like moving tracks for sushi plates.
Tables are set on both sides of the tracks, and you can order everything you need on individual touchpads that are set on each table. Or you can just pick something interesting that is moving along the track. (orders are marked to avoid people getting it)
After you finish eating, you just insert the dishes on a special slot that will calculate the price of your meal, and will use another track to take 'em back to the kitchen.

This is nice and all, but I'm guessing:
1. Will be cheap;
2. Won't work as a Wacom substitute.

Given the previous versions on tablets from Genius and other "generic" brands (like Aiptek), the tablet is pretty much a mouse-in-a-pen that works not without glitches.
Also, no pressure sensivity. I hope they at least did some work on the surface of the tablet, since previous versions were not even close to feel like pencil on paper (felt more like plastic on plastic, which it really was).

But anyways, a really cheap tablet that probably won't work for most users. Still, good to see some competition against Wacom. Their products are nice, but too pricey (even doing all they do).

The lack of comments about the lady on the article kinda disturbed the commenters. Must be it.
Oh, just for the record: I'd tap it. [:P]

About the monitor... why does it looks like a tray? You can turn it off, remove the stand, and use it to carry half a dozen cups of coffee around. o_O

Apart from that, contrast is looking good. Glossy? Maybe the white plastic thing behind it is removable (one can only hope).

This is great and all... but isn't this far more complicated than having using biometrics?
Fingerprint scanning and retina.. or even those finger veins scanner or something.
I mean, unless this is extremely precise (and users are extremely trainned), I can only imagine how many wrong passwords the system would generate.

Engadget moving away? If there's one thing I admire on Engadget is that they aren't too much biased towards iPhone... try looking Gizmodo posts. They even banned people who disliked iPhone...

About this phone... if the specs are right, no, this is not a "Prada with the camera changed slightly". Well, all depends on POV, but for some, 5.1 camera that records on 120fps is not only impressive, it's also unique. Even more with Schneider-Kreuznach lenses.

Most digicams and even amateur digicamcorders can't do that.
My next cellphone, depending on specs confirmation and price.

GAAR GAARR iPod competitor will surelly be a failure GARR GAAARR
Oh lawd.
Rolly is just fine.

...and today on "Let's break some laws of physics":

1. Choose your favorite law of physic.
2. Add lasers, photons, dark matter, microwaves, atomic energy, radiation, electricity, magnetism, plasma or something that will make non-physicists go "WOW".
3. Mix it up a little bit, and add the most important ingredient of them all: Quantum "whatever".
4. Finally, make some comment on this happening on a "nano scale"... be it time, size, or some kinda dimention. This will surely add more *oohmmf* to it.
For a bonus effect, you might also add that this will maybe in the future after years of research have some real life application.

And there you go! Create your own DIY "I broke a law of physics" article, if that's your thing.

Fuel for fanboys war... that's what I though when I first read about this.

Can I give my non-fanboy comment?
Here: Mighty fine if a PS3 survive all those tests... but you can't judge ALL PS3 by testing one. It does proves that Sony made a durable and solid job on that one though.
Also, remembering: Standing up to one quick extreme testing is one thing. Stress testing goes way beyond that.
To make a stress test you'll need to break the console. Stress testing means you will put the console on several harsh situations that might break it... until it does.

But yeah, this is obviously to draw attention and compare consoles durability, which is pretty effective given the failure rate from XBox 360. Problem is, it's not Sony that is great here... it's Microsoft that sucks.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Microsoft hater. I'm on Windows XP here, and this has been the best OS I ever used so far, having already used Linux and MacOS.
But Microsoft should've learned by now that overheating problems ARE NOT AN OPTION for console systems. It's unacceptable, and it's slow response to it was even worse.
They deserved all the crap they are eating now. And might as well stop making console systems if they can't handle overheating problems.

But yeah, I've seen great games for XBox 360.... even some who made me want to buy one.
Thing is: I'll never buy a console if I have to worry about it crashing, overheating, having to call tech support, send the thing back, wait for it to be fixed, etc etc etc.

This is exactly why portable systems are ruling the console market today: They are cheap, easy to use, and if you take good care of it, it won't just break out of nowhere. They way notebooks, PCs, and full consoles should also be.

But anyways, here's the problem: if you have crap sensors, crap lens, it doesn't matter if you are able to put detachable lens on it or not... the image will still suck.

It's more or less the same as the 7.1 speaker system. You can have a 100.1 speaker system... sound will still be crap at that size. You need a heavy and powerful system (big magnets) to get good bass.

While I can't really judge before handling it, I recommend caution.
