Tata Motors' $2,500 1-Lakh car gets detailed {Engadget}
Dec 29th 2007 7:14AM I think you missed my point. Who uses both liters and miles? Miles-per-gallon and kilometers-per-liter I can understand, but miles-per-liter?

Dec 29th 2007 6:47AM "miles per liter"? Who the hell measures things in miles per liter?
Anyways, isn't 15.5 miles per liter just shy of 60 miles per gallon? That's better than a Prius.
USB Moody Ball apes Ambient Orb, soothes your soul {Engadget}
Dec 5th 2007 7:23PM The question is: is there a way to control the color-changing so that you can use it to see if the build is broken?
NASA's Mars Opportunity rover falls on hard times {Engadget}
Nov 16th 2007 3:41PM If I'd seen an example of this private-company efficiency of which you speak I'd be a little more interested, but as far as I can tell, private companies as large as would be necessary to run these kind of operations (and stick around to gather the information) are all as bloated as the government.
What's more, private companies would all want to keep the rewards for their efforts (i.e., information) in the hopes that it would bring them future riches, so we'd add intellectual property issues to the mix of problems.
While I definitely see a role for private companies in space travel/exploration, I feel pretty strongly that the infrastructure is best put in place by NASA.
Apple not just refusing cash, also refusing Apple Gift Cards for iPhones {Engadget}
Oct 29th 2007 4:26AM Actually. . . .
what's the source for this item? If it's true, it's odd that Apple hasn't updated their gift card pages on the apple store at all. Is this a real policy, or is it just that a handful of people have reported not being allowed to buy them with gift cards?

Apple not just refusing cash, also refusing Apple Gift Cards for iPhones {Engadget}
Oct 29th 2007 4:18AM I'm guessing this is only for _new_ gift cards and that they now have some sort of disclaimer on them? Or that in conjunction with this policy they'll give you cash back on the gift card if you said you wanted to use it to buy an iphone?
If neither of those is true, it seems like Apple would be opening a huge can of worms liability-wise.
Western Digital doubles HDD storage densities {Engadget}
Oct 18th 2007 3:51AM Actually, a decade ago, a system with a 6.4 GB HDD and 64 MB of RAM was pretty high end, 400 MB for a hard drive and 8 MB of RAM was nothing in 1997 (except maybe on a laptop?)
Brando offers up USB-powered Plasma Ball {Engadget}
May 27th 2007 12:04PM I'd be highly interested in this if there were a simple way to trigger different effects on the globe so that I could glance at it to see if the build's broken. Alas people don't seem to be interested in making these kinds of ridiculous USB devices for programmers :-/
LG lets loose pics, release date for internal Blu-ray / HD DVD drive {Engadget}
Mar 13th 2007 6:25PM when they hit the mass market, I remember them being around $500-600, but there was a time before you could buy one at your computer store when people were talking about $10k+ burners. Then again, my memory is a sieve.
