Transcend intros new 1.8-inch SSD drive, 2.5-inch portable hard drive {Engadget}
Jan 21st 2009 3:57AM Eh... I'm a bit lost here.
What should we define as a USB-stick (or an sATA-stick for that matter) and what's the difference with a USB/sATA SSD drive?
I installed Windows XP MediaCenter on CF-card, using an IDE to CF adapter, several times and it works just fine (not as fast but certainly quick enough).
Looks like we need to redifine all these terms.
Any ideas on this?
BeBook eBook reader gets reviewed: a library rental, at best {Engadget}
Jan 7th 2009 2:20AM I bought this BeBook device and swiftly returned it to Amazon.
It crashes constantly and using SDcards is a nightmare.
In my opinion this device is for users who like to spend hours with upgrading firmware, scrolling through the BeBook forum in order to resolve the numerous errors of the BeBook reader. Taken together, this product is not market ready and way over-priced.
ATM skimmers: now with SMS notification built right in {Engadget}
Oct 10th 2008 3:47AM Skimming: every ATM should show a picture of the unmodified/original credit card entrance slit on the ATM's screen. I understand this will result in costs for all banks involved but not doing anything at all may even be more costly. Currently every ATM has a different entrance slit to put your card in. We consumers can't possible judge if this slit is the original one or a fake. Banks: ACTION!

Upstart Solazyme promises to make fuel from algae {Engadget}

but I guess in the USA there are probably about 5 (maybe 6) people who care about the environment...
HP's UMPC 2133 to cost $630 when shipping in April? {Engadget}

BiTMICRO introduces 832GB SSD for CES 2008 {Engadget}
Jan 5th 2008 3:01AM Hi John!
Well, I understand that's the reason. What I'm trying to point out is that these SSD's should be fitted like a SO-DIMM onto the mainboard. Although I do not know how many memory modules are inside such a SSD and if they need extra cooling.
Are SSD's in SO-DIMM format feasible?

Sep 29th 2007 2:26AM Looks rather stupid.
There are some nice, afforadable, models from dutch bicycle companies (Batavus, Sparta, Gazelle, Union, Giant) that look A LOT better!
No, wrong concept...
Purdue researchers "perfecting" new hydrogen-generating technology {Engadget}
Aug 28th 2007 5:43PM these metal catalyst techniques are really rather boring compared to bio-fuel-cells (containing either isolated enzymes or micro-organisms)
