Engadget's recession antidote: win an HP Pavilion dv5z laptop!

Pretty, pretty please?

Engadget's recession antidote: win a 22-inch iZ3D 3D monitor!

Back to the gold standard! Or Silver? Or whatever shiny stuff Quark was always railing about on DS9.

My recession antidote. Legalize all drugs and tax the hell out of them.

Hanvon taps E Ink for Vizplex tech in N510 e-book reader

Nov 4th 2008 3:55PM on Engadget

solarpos, while I'd agree that the Franklin book readers are garbage, they haven't made an ebook specific device in years, let alone one made with modern, color LCD screens. That's like comparing the iPhone with a first generation RIO mp3 player.

Speaking of which, many folks think the iPhone/iPod Touch is a decent reader, despite the small(ish) size. Why not a similar 6" device for those that would like to scroll less frequently?

Hanvon taps E Ink for Vizplex tech in N510 e-book reader

$4 cheaper than the Sony reader, but one inch smaller. Doesn't sound like much of a bargain.

Its always the price, isn't it? I understand e-ink is expensive, but why can't someone come up with an inexpensive 6" LCD reader for less than $150? While I understand the benefits of e-ink, I can read on LCD screens just fine. Surely, I'm not the only one out there. There's that shady ECTACO/Jetbook LCD monstrosity, but its $300 too.

The Office: Weight Loss (season premiere)

Anybody notice Stanley's Black Panther connections? I don't know if the picture of young Stanley was with actual Black Panthers, but it looked close enough.

Of course, it was followed by a Smith & Carlos-style black power salute at the end.

Nicely done.

Amazon to offer OLPC's Give One, Get One Program later this year (update: possibly dual-boot)

Sep 4th 2008 7:06AM on Engadget

So, how do these things last in the long haul.

Do you know of anyone who bought one last year? How have they held up? I'd imagine I'd get one for word processing, web, email and ebook reading (I heard it was particularly adept at that).

Dell's Inspiron 13 already reviewed: basic, but capable

Aug 27th 2008 8:50AM on Engadget

I'm there with you. Each netbook release has been a small disappointment in its own unique way. Too expensive, too loaded, not loaded enough, crummy buttons, too ugly, too pricey, made with wet cardboard...the list goes on.

The mythical 910, especially the low-end version, hits my sweet spot on a number of levels. Too bad we'll never see it.

The editor-in-chief giveaway: Win Ryan Block's gadgets

I'll need all of it to finish my time machine in order to go back in time to convince Ryan to stay.

Albatron intros Tee PC mini tablet

If this were under $150, I'd pick this up for use as a web browser and ebook reader to replace my Palm TX (which I only really keep to use as an ereader and to browse the web when I'm on the can). The OS is a huge turnoff, but the 7" screen would make reading less painful.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
