Nov 2nd 2009 11:48PM Nilay nailed it. But then, he's the best thing about Engadget, by a mile.

Dell's Inspiron 1410 spec bump is too mild to notice {Engadget}
Mar 1st 2009 9:59PM Maybe I don't want to maintain two different machines, or clutter my nice house up with electronic boxes. Maybe I use my laptop in places other than home. There's a tradeoff between portability and a nice big screen, and others on price and specs, and different people will make them in different ways. Dragging my 15" monster between office and home is no big deal; traveling with it is a pain. I'm just trying out some netbooks, and that 10" screen is a drag. A Macbook Air might be nice, but that's not how I roll.
10-inch Aspire One's battery downgraded after reviewers have their fill {Engadget}
Feb 10th 2009 11:36PM pcmag.com says "8 hours 46 minutes of battery life, when netbooks with similar battery capacities are getting around 6 hours and change." Scale that down by 4400/5800 and you've got 6 hours 39 minutes, which is still excellent. For those above saying the Asus 1000HE has a higher watt-hour battery: true, but it gets a shorter run time on it, so advantage to Acer in this case.
Crab Fu's Flapper fish bot creeps us the hell out {Engadget}
Jul 15th 2008 12:39AM The writing used to be funny, maybe because the gags were new, but probably because it was just better. Now it's bad. Lots of shtick, little information, poor command of science and a mockery of it (in a tech blog!), and poor command of English as well. I skim through it faster and faster, spending less and less time here. Watch out Engadget, you're losing us.
Broadstar Windsystem's AeroCam wind turbines break elusive price barrier {Engadget}
Jun 20th 2008 1:48AM I run about 300W on average. I would gladly pay $300 and generate all my own power. Jasper (above) thinks we'd have to up that to 1-2kW, and add some bucks for converters and such, but even so that would be great. Now we just need for them to sell the 1kW system as well as the 250kW system. My wallet is waiting...
Sellgino shows off GS-200 GPS Photo Tour geotagger {Engadget}
May 28th 2008 3:19AM PS Some Holux models take (but don't charge) AA batteries, some have non-replaceable batteries. The i-Blue 747 and Qstarz BT1000 models I favor (they're twins) take a standard Nokia cellphone battery -- nice.
If the bundled software for merging the GPS data into the EXIF data is good, that's worth something. I know there's freeware out there, but I haven't explored it.

May 28th 2008 3:12AM There are also some small i-Blue, QStarz, Holux and other receivers that do this; some also do Bluetooth and talk to your favorite gadget. Google for "GPS logger". BuyGPSnow.com was good for me.
