Penny Arcade's On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness releases {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
May 23rd 2008 11:30PM I enjoy the game, but I do wish it had keyboard controls and relied on the mouse less. It can be hard quickly and precisely targeting enemies with a trackpad.
Microwave beam car stopper tested, fries cars in nanoseconds flat {Engadget}
Dec 5th 2007 11:54AM Is a "whip" some new slang for car? I've never heard that before.
APC intros increased-efficiency Back-UPS ES 750 {Engadget}
Dec 3rd 2007 6:12PM I'd dig having a built in UPS. I'd only want a 2 minute UPS -- 1st to allow me time to move cables around, and the second minute for it to hibernate and shut down. I sure don't need 15 minutes at home if it's going to automatically shut off, anyway.
Cheap sensors could enable next-gen mo-cap games {Engadget}
Nov 27th 2007 12:32PM I don't have acres of land to play football on, or want to bother arranging for a permit to play in a park, or want to play when it's raining (winter) and dark out (which is about 5PM now). So, I'll play games at home indoors, and be proud of it.
Black Friday Giveaways (part 19): Wii + Metroid Prime 3 and more {Engadget}
Nov 24th 2007 12:22AM I think a Wii would look very nice next to my trophy for helping the most orphans.
Ad problems fixed -- game on! {Engadget}
Nov 21st 2007 9:07PM So just for fun, I deleted all entries from adblock. I forgot about the number one most annoying thing about the ads on Engadget and other sites, and came across this while looking for a fix (other than just blocking):

Seriously, fix that and you'll see a lot less adblock usage.
Ad problems fixed -- game on! {Engadget}
Nov 21st 2007 4:58PM I'm not an adblocking nazi, but I do adblock when I see an annoying ad. The old version of Adblock would let you just click below the ad you want to remove, and add just that one. The new version doesn't seem to do that (at least, not by default). So when there's an annoying ad, I end up blocking a lot of things trying to catch just the one.
Anyway, I guess the moral of the story is: Don't let an obnoxious ad on the site, because it only serves to encourage people to install and run ad blocking software. Keep 'em civil and most people won't care.

Actually, it's more like: I don't like the price of the music, so I'll just borrow it from a friend and listen to it. Comparing it to physical theft does not make sense.
Apple gets sued over Greenpeace iPhone report {Engadget}
Oct 16th 2007 2:29PM The title says sued, the content says not sued. It's almost as though the title was specifically designed to be inflammatory.

Oct 5th 2007 12:24PM Working in the concept car department of an automotive company seems like it'd be one of the coolest jobs ever.
