MSI gets official with GT627 gaming laptop {Engadget}
Jan 26th 2009 8:53PM Hey, when you post about a computer try talking about its specs... You know, like you do when you post about the Atom in those sad little netbooks? I'm really pissed about those, by the way. Thanks Microshaft, for screwing your customer base again. No one is going to build a real computer in that form factor unless a mainstream OS is available. Ubuntu is wonderful, but not for the newb in most of us.
Engadget Giveaway: win a Cowon S9 PMP! {Engadget}
Jan 26th 2009 8:42PM Alright, not that a sob story will be honored in this day in age (believe me, I KNOW everyone is hurting), but I'm getting ready for deployment and being able to take some PMP action with me would be pretty freakin' sweet!
GM calls for public/private partnership for future of auto industry {Autoblog}
Jan 17th 2009 1:19PM The biggest problem was very clearly laid out in this article... Infrastructure. If Americans are going to buy into a new technology on the large scale they're going to have to believe that technology is going to be around for the long haul. As it is, no one has been able to say with definite certainty what emergent technology will drive our weening off of gasoline. There are so many technologies out there to replace what we have going for us, but no big backing behind a single one. Its sort of like the differences between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray. Toshiba and the adult film industry just were not big enough to back HD-DVD to success, while Panasonic, Sony and the rest of the backers for Blu-Ray were all in the same boat. What the government should do is stop worrying about transitional technologies and back something that will replace the consumer vehicle for more than just the next ten years. I believe in-wheel, high torque electric motors that enable regenerative breaking coupled with Li-Ion/Super-Capacitor energy delivery systems and an EV infrastructure would be a good start.

Jul 23rd 2006 6:08PM #2: "What's the gas mileage?"
They gave a range of @1300 miles on the 133gal tank... That's roughly 9.7744360902255639097744360902256 mpg.
SLVR L7c rumored for Sprint {Engadget Mobile}
Jun 2nd 2006 7:25PM The only thing I would be really interested in is if this moto has EVDO... With the bluetooth use as modem hack I love my A920, but it wouldn't be such a bad thing to deal with to slap an extended battery on this slim little dealy, especially since I got the extendo for the A920... If it does all that and the bag of chips I might be willing to buy it early...
AMD launches Turion 64 X2 to fight Core Duo {Engadget}
May 18th 2006 1:02AM Alright guys, here's the real deal. AMD uses on-die memory controllers for every 64bit CPU they make. They've even changed the manufacturing process for their non-64bit CPUs in the higher scale. This means there is no FSB to bottleneck the system at the motherboard. RAM runs at the speed of the CPU.
Intel hasn't mastered this technology yet, but the news is that they've got a sort of working prototype. Until Intel gets it to market AMD will always rule the roost.
Now, couple zero motherboard bottleneck with dual core technology and you will see the same performance difference that have been demonstrated between comperable Intel CPUs and AMD-64 CPUs when you compare dual core CPUs in the same manner. Until Intel gets with the program AMD has the performance game in the bag. Plain and simple.
My big question is, what socket is the dual core? I wonder if I can get one for my lappy... That might be worth voiding the warranty. Hmmmm...
