Up until a couple of years ago?

"The earliest English sense of decimate is “to select by lot and execute every tenth soldier of (a unit).” The extended sense “destroy a great number or proportion of” developed in the 19th century." (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/decimate)

Artist crafts Pentium Nikes but Mom buys us AMD Keds anyways

Then just vote him up. "I see what you did there" is a pretty worthless comment. Yes, you and everyone else. Which is why he's highest rated...

Saygus VPhone to bring video calls and a bit of chub to Android and Verizon

It looks like the Droid's fatter, uglier sister.

How-to: geek up your pumpkin

Oct 31st 2009 12:26PM on Engadget

I'd use a candle just for authenticity. The whole concept of carving pumpkins is rooted in hundreds of years of tradition, so I'll stick with my decidedly low-tech candle because to me it's more about tradition than pragmatism.

But no, not for the smell.

LG roadmap predicts 'OLED panels will cost less than LCD panels in 2016'

That's going to be a long wait, and like all things with technology, if you're always waiting for the next best thing then you'll pretty much always be waiting since there's always something better coming.

And 2016 is a pretty conservative estimate anyway.

Apple seeks to take multitouch where it's never been before in new patent app

On second thought if you mean multi-touch in general, then I agree that something like pinching to zoom feels natural. But since this specific patent deals with using the entire hand, it probably has to do with something like text input, and text input on any touch screen is at best an inferior substitute for a physical keyboard.

Natural? How are software keyboards natural? If anything, they are counter-intuitive.

Color me unimpressed. I'm betting that this technology will fade into obsolescence before it's ever used in an Apple product.

Unbagging: Peek CEO Amol Sarva

I have to say, that was a bit unexpected.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"For a long time I have been searching for a portable device where I can store all of my CDs in MP3 format and stream the songs wirelessly to my HiFi system. The portable device must I've tried FM transmitters, they all suck. I don't want a docking station. Any help? Thanks!" have a display so that I easily can scroll through the playlists (I don't want to use a TV or monitor). I suppose that there must also be a second device that is connected to the HiFi system that would receive the wireless streams from the portable device.
