Confirmed: Google was naughty, broke App Store rules with iPhone app {Engadget}

Nov 26th 2008 3:28PM @roole:

I thought they all low ranked you because you called Americans dumb not because you said anything negative about Apple. Though I could be wrong and am completely underestimating Fanboyism...

Let me try something...

America is so great, it should ban all crappy products like the iphone!

...now we just sit and wait...

Hitachi introduces trio of ultra-bright projectors {Engadget}

Nov 25th 2008 7:12PM @Uchiha

wow, you're not kidding about that link being "not related".

I mean I guess I should be glad you actually had substance instead of just saying "first" but seriously at least try to stay on topic. To me, that's borderline spam, especially for news a few days old already.

@ Mitch

Good catch.

I like the idea of being able to swap out lenses.

Lame though that the release dates are currently only for Europe...

ASUS makes Eee PC S101 official, 904HA images leak out {Engadget}

Oct 3rd 2008 4:21PM Thanks Adderz

I'm getting sick of it too!

Seriously, I just counted over 25 different models of laptops on Dell's site today! Yes, a little more organized, but still just list all the model numbers side by side and everyone would be just as confused.

The joke is an antique now so move on.

Oct 3rd 2008 4:04PM I'm going to assume that "SteveJ" doesn't stand for "Steve Jobs"...

Let me try to answer your question though

It is possible to load versions of osx onto eee's but since you don't seem capable enough to google how yourself, I doubt you have enough tech savvy to pull it off.

If there is software you have to have on osx and you really want it in a slim case, I'd suggest you just pay the Apple tax and save yourself a lot of stress.

Otherwise, use xp and or try out Xandros, you might find it rather refreshing.


Demand for HP's Mini-Note growing fast? {Engadget}

Aug 30th 2008 7:14PM Um. InfoCent, you do know that ftw and wtf are two different meanings right? FTW stands for For The Win. As in "Engadget For The Win" which would be a completely different meaning then say "Engadget, What The F***"

So either I didn't understand your post, or hopefully you understand this now.

Whatever.

Fujitsu Siemens' Amilo Mini netbook gets official, spec'd {Engadget}

Aug 28th 2008 12:11PM It'll last on a coast to coast flight if you're flying on Virgin America!

Aug 28th 2008 12:09PM Well the acer one supposedly has extra sensors in the corners of the touchpad and users say that with them they don't even use the side buttons that often, I wonder if this one has similar as well.

Two mammoth solar plants to generate 800 megawatts in California {Engadget}

Aug 18th 2008 12:26PM Okay fine. Have your Nuclear Power Plant. It won't take up your precious 12 sq. miles.

But what are you going to do with your spent nuclear fuel rods? Do you have enough land to store them for thousands of years? That's one of the problems that we are facing here in the US.

http://library.thinkquest.org/17940/texts/nuclear_waste_storage/nuclear_waste_storage.html

And if you plan on just storing them far away, just realize that means these potential nuclear disasters are on your roads and train tracks to where ever you think you might have room to store them.

Nuclear is a wonderful SHORT TERM solution for a LONG TERM problem.

Two mammoth solar plants to generate 800 megawatts in California {Engadget}

Aug 18th 2008 12:05PM I liked the idea of big box stores covering their flat roofs with solar panels. There must be a few Walmart's in England, start there! http://www.treehugger.com/files/2006/12/walmarts_solar.php

@cmj: I live in Washington State (just south of Seattle) and we are known for for being the rainy Northwest yet plenty of people have solar panels up here. A quote from the Northwest Solar Center: "During the three summer months Seattle gets 97% as much sun as San Diego. On an annual basis, Seattle gets about 1/3 less than San Diego. Seattle recieves about 3.5 average peak sun hours per year. so a 1Kw solar array will generate about 1000 kWh's per year." http://northwestsolarcenter.org/Faq/faq.html

It's FREE energy, don't say it's "impractical".
