Apple admits to lost MobileMe messages, bad karma {Engadget}
Jul 26th 2008 4:40PM I only use it because our company website is hosted by them, allowing very easy and simple updates through iWeb. I don't know any programming, so this is a blessing to me! I host our email through gmail, so email has been unaffected. I did not have access to me.com until last week, but that doesn't really matter to me because I don't ever really need it. My site has been unaffected, and that's all I care!
Oh, and I know that many of you will laugh off the fact that I use iWeb and mac.com/me.com...but for those of us that don't know and programming (or need to continuously update our sites quickly and easily), it's not a bad solution.iWeb is so easy to use, and gives me 1 button publishing. It's all I want and it serves me well!

Laser headband for Alzheimer's patients, and for really cool people {Engadget}
Jun 27th 2008 11:57AM A dead Alzheimer's patient that happened to be our President- one huge step further towards being hugely inappropriate. Engadget needs to be taught some respect.

Broadstar Windsystem's AeroCam wind turbines break elusive price barrier {Engadget}
Jun 20th 2008 9:25AM I browsed their site and downloaded their pdf brochures. I have my doubts for 2 reasons: 1) it's all theoretical right now, and 2) they apparently don't know the difference between a kW and a kWh. Saying that something is 250kW doesn't tell us much of anything because all it gives us is a power output and not a unit of time- it could be 250 kW in a year. That's why you see kWh used- it's the amount of energy used/output over the period of an hour. If their engineers don't understand this simple industry standard measurement then I'll believe $1/1Wh when I see it.
Additionally, at $.079/kWh and operating at 60% efficiency, this thing would have a payback of 2.4 years and a payout of around $100,000/year after that (not calculating and maintenance into that).
