Can cable keep up without big infrastructure expenditures? {Engadget}
Aug 19th 2006 3:20PM Apart from the radical change that is happening through time-shifting DVRs (which I think will evolve to full on-demand TV watching, both live and recorded), the future is going to be wireless. I think the only cable going into our homes in 15 years time will be the one for electricity. Think about the increases in wireless bandwidth in the past 15 years.
Dell recall prompts inquiry into all Sony laptop batteries {Engadget}
Aug 16th 2006 11:24AM Could it be a problem with the power management/charging circuits in the Dell laptops, and not with the batteries themselves? I know modern batteries are pretty "intelligent" by themselves, but couldn't it be an integration issue?
Seagate leaks 750GB Barracuda 7200.10 {Engadget}
Apr 21st 2006 6:20AM I have a "bet" running on my blog, on how long it will take for us to have a one petabyte storage device that can be carried on a pocket.

How-To: Rackmount your gear for cheap {Engadget}
Apr 11th 2006 1:14PM I have a different setup - not for rack equipment, not as cheap, not as well ventilated, but much more stealth... :-)

Pantech parades around seven new concept phones {Engadget Mobile}
Feb 26th 2006 8:29AM Deluxe,
Portuguese is spoken by more than 200 million people worldwide, so I wouldn't call it a market "...it'll never get to".
It's a globalized world, and we have the best global tools we've ever had, so it's not a very professional attitude not to use them.
Just to test this, I just searched "cancro" on Google - 2,140,000 results. It turns out it means cancer also in Italian.

Feb 25th 2006 5:22PM "Cancro" means cancer (as in the disease) in Portuguese. Not a very attractive name... Can't the marketing people around the world spend 10 seconds on Google to see what comes up when they're picking a new name?
Asus shows modular concept PC {Engadget}
Feb 24th 2006 6:27AM Just think of all the dust it would collect... I would go more for a HAL 9000 core design (like it was mentioned on a previous comment), where standardized modules slide into an encasing that would provide the power, the connection bus, and cooling. If the power supply could also be made modular, you could have more than one connected at the time and make everything (except the chassis) hot-swappable.

Feb 23rd 2006 11:15AM If it does have aperture control, then it completely makes sense, specially being a small camera. I wrote what I wrote based on the news on this site only.

Feb 23rd 2006 7:44AM Apart from having a fixed f:1:2.4 aperture (which I don't understand), I think they tried (managed?) to create a purist's camera like the legendary rangefinder Leicas, with unsurpassed optical quality.
Without being able to zoom, the whole of your creativity has to go into composition within that fixed frame. The only thing I disagree with is the fixed aperture - it does remove your ability to play with the depth of field.
