Green Vehicles' Triac officially coming in July, for reals this time {Engadget}
May 14th 2008 11:13AM ?!? The fact that people drive such large vehicles is WHY we are in this predicament in the first place!. Regardless of any efficient technology, pure mass is going to be the number 1 contributor to fuel efficiency. There is no need for such vehicles like the 300, SUV's et al. ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSON IN THE VEHICLE!!! A country like ours that is so large and requires automobiles for transport should have made the decision for smaller vehicles that all don't run on a single source long ago.
This is going to be one of those survival scenarios. People who can't adapt will suffer. Those that can will endure.

May 13th 2008 1:26PM Side wind gusts will be a bitch on this thing. I applaud the design effort though.
Eurocom lets loose Quad Core XEON-based D901C PHANTOM-X server laptop {Engadget}
May 12th 2008 1:29PM It is. Some dolts at Engadget don't get this though. They keep posting stupid Eurocom product releases as if we weren't able to get this elsewhere for nearly half a year. And if you search Engadget, not only will you find lots of these stupid re-brand posts, you'll also see the same shit repeatedly posted in the comments. Things like "OMGWTBBQ I can't put it in my pocket!!eleven1!" and "wow burn my legzors".
Someone, please, stop posting this crap.

Zune headquarters mini-tour {Engadget}
May 9th 2008 4:09PM I agree. This has all the signs of "trying" to be cool, but when you look closer, you see the same old corporate crap. It very representative of the product that is coming out of it. The packaged cubicles they specified scream mediocre. In MS's defense, this is a temporary workspace from what I've read. I hope the current Zune is also as temporary.
Volkswagen to produce 1-Liter car in 2010, should get over 200MPG {Engadget}
May 9th 2008 10:46AM Actually the photo only shows two. I'm betting they save fuel by having the car balance on the passenger side tires.

May 9th 2008 10:44AM LOL your COUNTRY is like 100 miles wide! You could go from one end to the other and then back on a single tank. What would you need cheap fuel for? You go to the midwest US and see what alternatives there are for transportation. Everything is miles apart with nothing in between.

You think oil is $100+ a barrel because of pollution? If Bush wasn't in office, we wouldn't have invaded Iraq. That's a fact! His administration took advantage of 9/11 to leverage our Senate and Congress to go to war with a country so that its neighbors and our military industrial complex could make profit. The principle cause of the rise of oil prices is Iraq. Don't let people distract you with China's consumption. Most of China's fossil fuels are domestic. This whole thing is big, dirty business.

May 5th 2008 9:37AM I don't understand the hippie love of hydrogen. You'd think someone had figured out how to efficiently store it or something. I'm sorry put keeping a substantial amount of an explosive gas stored at 4 ksi in a vehicle operated by an everyday person is not an answer.
I'm still trying to figure out why ammonia hasn't been mentioned as the fuel of choice. It's safer than gas, biodegradable, bio-producable (can actually produce a negative carbon footprint), more easily stored than hydrogen, and already has the worldwide infrastructure in place. Its waste product is water and nitrogen (N2).
