Thanko's USB-powered Health E-Cigarettes sound healthy {Engadget}
Mar 31st 2009 10:17AM It won't really work, it doesn't vaporize like a marijuana vaporizer does, this atomizes the eliquid inside the cartridge, which is composed of propylene glycol, nicotine, artificial flavours and artificial scents. I doubt it gets above 70 degrees C, which is far to cold to vaporize THC.

Keyboard "eavesdropping" just got way easier, thanks to electromagnetic emanations {Engadget}
Oct 20th 2008 9:36PM As xocoatl mentioned, the best way would be to make fiber optic keyboards, which will probably happen with USB 3 as I have heard it will have fiber optics in it.

Oct 20th 2008 9:31PM I would think that multiple devices being used at the same time would be the biggest problem. The signals would mingle and the data would be corrupted.
I think PS/2 would be more of a problem given that it's specifications give more leeway in how data is transmitted, the frequency range is something like 10kHz to 16.7kHz, imagine having 100 keyboards all blasting out signals that are essentially sweeping across that range, hell, even 2 would be a mess.
USB is more strict on a per device basis, but it is more prevalent in todays world, and I could see people having multiple devices at their desk alone, all blasting out signals that would "co-mingle".

Oct 20th 2008 9:22PM This would be too much of a pain in the ass, considering that PS/2 keyboards can range in frequency from 10kHz to 16.7kHz, and USB can range between 1.5MHz to 450MHz +/- up to 15kHz based on low/full/high speed.
Thats not to mention how many other PS/2 and USB devices in the vicinity you would also pick up that would most likely corrupt the data as you could be picking up multiple devices simultaneously.
Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon makes its way into desktops, our hearts {Engadget}
Oct 19th 2007 1:59PM If VMware offered a version of Fusion for Linux, I would switch from Windows in a less than a heartbeat, but sadly, I am tied to windows due to proprietary software. Essentially only 4 or 5 applications, but they make or break my work computing.

Sep 9th 2007 1:08PM This would be great if Canada actually had a decent dataplan, $100/month for 250mb + $3/mb afterwards is ridiculous.
