Apple says AirPort Disk use with Time Machine is unsupported {Engadget}
Apr 8th 2008 9:16AM some janky USB drive... I love it!
Seriously, I suppose they won't support using a janky USB drive for anything!
Personally I use a Drobo connected to my airport extreme. If that method fails, I can always connect via USB on a fixed mac. The backup files should still be fine. Really important files get backed up to .mac though.

Broadcom wins major injunction against Qualcomm {Engadget}
Dec 31st 2007 9:06PM Actually, what the article says is that Qualcomm can keep selling chips it has already been selling until January 2009, but only to existing customers. And they must pay a royalty. And after 2009, they can't sell them at all anymore.
There is nothing retroactive about this. Did you read the article?

Gamers make better surgeons, study says {Engadget}
Feb 20th 2007 10:09AM First off, this article relates to laparoscopic surgery, where a surgeon puts instruments through small incisions into the abdominal cavity. One instrument has a camera on it and displays the image on a video monitor while the other instruments have graspers, staplers, suture devices, etc on the tips. The instruments are manipulated outside the patient like so many joysticks while the surgeon watches the monitor to see what's going on inside the patient. Aside from specific surgical simulators, video gaming is the most similar activity to this. Knitting, woodworking model building would not work. Gaming is very efficient at improving hand-video screen-eye coordination (which is quite different from hand-eye coordination).
Second, I am wondering how many similar articles are needed until I can a) tax deduct my gaming console/theater room/projector, and b) get continuing medical education credit for all my gaming time.

MacBook Pro unboxing pics appear online {Engadget}
Feb 19th 2006 4:00PM if you need to know whether or not the machine is on and the screen (or other hardware) isn't working correctly, the caps lock key is prety useful - it lights up only when the keyboard is getting power (and is in caps lock mode, obviously). I've had to use this trick when my motherboard was malfunctioning.
I agree that a wifi switch and power light, HD in use ligh, etc are pretty useless. On the other hand, I do sort of miss the manual eject 'hole' that my tibook had... to each his own.
