There is no way this is autonomous.

In first couple seconds of the video, you can see the person standing with the controller on the right edge of the picture.
$99 upgrade would mean you already have purchased a legal copy before.

If you were pirating before, and now want to go legit, it's $320 for a copy.

You can see why some people might be hesitant to do that.
I was looking for something like this.

Anyway to find out the resolution of the external monitor it could drive?

Or should I wait for something with an Ion?

47 pictures of crap. Did you guys just empty your camera card onto the website? Trying deleting some of the crap.

No helmet? First no gloves, now no helmet? Do you guys even think about this stuff? Nice bike drop at the end. I'm sure the manufacturer was happy they found someone who couldn't even ride a bike to review this.

And what's with the photo viewer? Couldn't you make it java based or something so I don't have to back out of 47 pictures after viewing the set?

Sweet. Thanks for the info!
Good reason not to buy one.

I don't believe that is correct. Most power plants are able to throttle down their production. Their main problem is "peak" demand. As long as they don't have to build more plants to meet the "peak" demand, then they are happy. By increasing usage during off-peak hours, and thereby increasing their available margins during on-peak hours, they gain efficiencies.

What would be cool is if the electric cars had some simple algorithm that determined how much time is required to fully charge a partially charged car, and then only start charging in time for, say, 7am in the morning when the car will be needed next. Then you would take advantage of the super low rate electricity during the early morning hours, instead of the 'lowish' rates during the early evening hours (when most people get home).

Video is 5 minutes too long.
FTA... VESA standard wall mount.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
