Ford MyKey lets parents control their kids' driving habits {Engadget}

Oct 6th 2008 3:39PM No, that'l be the shame of having to drive the a very dull Ford model which will feature this standard.

Nokia's 5800 XpressMusic to mature markets: see you in 2009 {Engadget}

Oct 6th 2008 3:31PM Come on Nokia... you know how much your stock earbuds suck... I know you want to sell better earbuds as an extra but please join a pair of WH-700 in ear earbuds if you're gonna call it XpressMusic. (Ok, so it's not the best in-ear I know (CX300) but they're pretty decent, nice looking and very much less of a cable clutter with the integrated headset, plus affordable.)

Reuters: October 2nd is go for Nokia Tube launch {Engadget}

Sep 26th 2008 9:09AM I don't think Nokia designed this phone with "resize" type applications in mind actually.

Sep 26th 2008 9:07AM Yeah thats true... and also putting this touch UI in a mid-range phone really provides feedback on the touch interface not only from your typical high-end smart phone user, but also from users who don't want to use a phone to such a extend.

Reuters: October 2nd is go for Nokia Tube launch {Engadget}

Sep 26th 2008 6:07AM Yes... Nokia descided to jump into the midrange market because directly trying to competing in the same market as the iPhone would be pointless. Actually with this lean candybar form factor this might actually be the first 'typical' candybar phone.

Dutch town looks to cut pollution with air-purifying concrete {Engadget}

Aug 7th 2008 9:52AM Actually it's fine, no problem. The TiO2 acts as a catalyst, it is not consumed (and actually also not that expensive).

In Rome they built a church which got a TiO2 holding walls... though that is not in concrete but a special white cement.

(I do happen to have followed a course on sustainable building by the professor who is heading this research, he's a nice guy.)

GM teams with utilities to develop electric car charging infrastructure {Engadget}

1. There needs to be some kind of 'identification' of the car, because then they know who to send the bill to.
2. You're not talking about typical household amounts of power here. To quickly charge a such a car you'll need a little more than your average household socket.

Hidden Tap faucet flows from left to right as you go from dirty to clean {Engadget}

Jul 2nd 2008 4:53PM Being Dutch, just to be complete, "kunst zonder kapsones" means something like "art without pretentions"... however "kapsones" is a bit of a slang word, so this translation isn't entirely correct, I wouldn't know a more direct translation into English.
