Intel developing electronic Qur'an for Saudi Arabia

Dec 19th 2006 9:04PM on Engadget

I agree that this is just a waste of money and why not just use an E-book reader. But with the Saudi Government's recent announcment of the biggest budget in its history of $101 billion with a surplus of around $5 billion, it seems they can afford to waste it.

BMW getting supercomputer; iDrive still sucks, though

I understand your point. I mainly critisized the Navigation functions of idrive. But Infiniti's sysytem is not just for Nav, its very similar in functions as BMW's. For example both systems control all the viechles electronic components. For example tire pressure, oil, and much more.

BMW getting supercomputer; iDrive still sucks, though

BMWs iDrive is very primitive compared to Infniti's Nav System. I used both and here's some of BMW's shortcomings compared with Infiniti:
-Slow interface in general
-System doesn't save last 5 cities visited, or last State. Everytime you input an address you start with choosing a country, state, city
-You can't look up an address with a phone number
-Input of letters is hard and takes a long time

The only advantage BMW has over Infiniti is that you have an option to enable input while driving. Infiniti allows limited input while driving, like 1st 5 address book entries, 5 last visited addresses.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
