Remote Disc: no movie playback, no HD support, and everything else you need to know

Well, without A USB drive.

Remote Disc: no movie playback, no HD support, and everything else you need to know

Lack of DVD and CD audio support is kinda odd, because it obviously means you don't have very direct access to the drive. However, if DVD and CD audio are the only functionality that is missing, you can just grab VLC. I've been using it lately for streaming DVDs from my laptop to a desktop which lacks a DVD drive. Works perfectly fine over 802.11g.

Acer offers Ubuntu pre-load for kiwis

That would make it the same prices as an Asus Eee...

Intel's newest gaming platform, Skulltrail

Especially with optical drives shifting to SATA too. Back in the day you could live with only a pair of SATA ports on your motherboard because you had a legacy PATA DVD (or CD) drive.

Nintendo establishes official raincheck program for Wii

Plenty of Wiis in New Zealand, thanks to the ridiculous price disparity - roughly $US380 for the console (and, in some stores, one free game other than Wii Sports).

How about a pair of shoes? I've seen it dozens of times...

Wii demand has Nintendo reconsidering its advertising plans

Dec 8th 2007 8:19AM on Engadget

So are Nintendo's consoles really popular, or do they just not make that many?

Verizon sued over GPL code in FiOS routers

Dec 8th 2007 12:07AM on Engadget

Actually, that's a good point. The target of the lawsuit should obviously whoever is distributing the GPL'd binaries without distributing the source. It's plausible that the routers were supplied to Verizon with the binaries and no source, in which case Actiontec is at fault. Either way, the solution is simple: When you agree to a copyright licence (in this case, the GPL), do what you've agreed to do.

First Blu-ray Disc with PiP profile 1.1 announced -- players please?

Dec 7th 2007 4:05PM on Engadget

Completeness is a killer feature for some (myself included). I would consider buying a BD player (if I had a reasonable TV to plug it into, of course), but not until it's complete and all these ridiculous omissions of features are sorted.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
