What is The Brick?

Sep 23rd 2008 12:25AM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

You're all wrong! "Windows" does not refer to the operating system, but the user interface pioneered by Apple then copied by Bill Gates and made trillions off of it.

"Brick" is OS XI, which will feature a revolutionary interface that does not use the "Windows" UI paradigm.

What is The Brick?

Well, a Mac Mini is kind of shaped like a brick and it hasn't been updated in a while...

A mac mini with a built in projector? Haha.

Or a new Apple TV?

Or a new Mac Mini/AppleTV?

Or a really really big iPod? with it's own speakers? Remember those Apple speakers?

Oh I get it!! Brick! Through Windows! Haha... though it doesn't really conjure great images about the person (company) doing the throwing, so it's not really a great analogy, I don't think.

I just drew an ugly picture of my face, and boy my arms are tired!

A more elegant manila envelope

Next, someone is going to come out with an "AirBag"...

Just wondering how tough the MacBook Air is... being so thin, can an unfortunately placed bump from a fellow subway commuter crack it in half?

MousEX Glider extends your mouse's utility

Here's an idea... why not eliminate the keyboard on the laptop and replace it with a big multitouch trackpad.

Or even better, replace it with a multi-touchscreen a la the Nintendo DS, only bigger.

Er... why do they require a mouse on it? Why can't they just equip the thing with it's own usb cable and have it send the same signals that a mouse would? It's not like a mouse is so expensive people can only afford one... doh!

Even then, it's still easier to use a mouse (or even a trackpad... Apple's multi-touch trackpad is amazing) than this silly thing.

Belgium? Isn't peeing a national pastime there? I mean, look in any tourist store! Look at the freakin' statue in the square for goodness sake!

I hope the sensors are waterproof/sediment proof.

Anyways, these games are no fair to those of us with smaller bladders... er... larger tubes.

DARPA eying adaptable, scalable networks to help soldiers communicate

Nov 5th 2007 9:21AM on Engadget

It looks like the guy is trying to communicate with that poor soldier's brain.

"Hello! Anyone in there?! Talk to me darnit!!"

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
