JATY DR7200: Breathalyzer and nav...all in one! {Autoblog}
Jul 17th 2008 4:37AM When I used to work briefly in Korea, I was a loyal patron of a service... roughly translates to "proxy drivers". You call the service as you're stumbling out of a bar at 2 in the morning, and they send a dude who arrives in as little as 5 minutes. He takes your key and puts you in the back seat of your car and drives you home. He walks you to your front door, gives you your key back, and then takes the bus back to the office. It cost about 4~5 times as the equivalent taxi ride, and I don't have to abandon my car. I must've used the service at least once a week for the 2 years I was there. I wish we had a service like that in LA.

Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon makes its way into desktops, our hearts {Engadget}
Oct 18th 2007 7:08PM I am disappointed with the code name, "Gutsy Gibbon". I was rooting for "Gay Giraffe".
What would the iCar be like? {Engadget}
Aug 30th 2007 2:09AM Some more features of the iCar...
1. If you accidentally hit one of the function keys, all the windows in the car disappear. Or a thermometer, calendar and a calculator might appear on the dashboard.
2. Everyone will insist on driving one to Starbucks, where they will also insist that they park the car on top of their tables.
3. All the usual buttons and controls are hidden in various locations. You must use the built-in Spotlight feature to locate them.
4. The rearview mirrors show the car behind you in normal mode, or in 9 nine funky distortion effects, such as "black & white", "fisheye", and "pop-art".
Misumi lays claim to "world's smallest camera" {Engadget}
Aug 21st 2007 4:36PM Camera this small at the end of a long flexible wire.... this is always a recipe for very unplesant things.
Either someone is peeking at me under the door before crashing through the door to bust me meth lab, or someone is sticking this up my ass, and talking about how I need to start eating salads and veggie burgers.
Bad times, man, bad times.

Aug 21st 2007 4:31PM Please, this is Korea we are talking about there are no such things as size 12 women there. Models and actresses are all petit size 0, and all the young girls aspire to be size 0 also, although they are really 2. Older women, chubby women, and realistic women are size 4~6. Size 12 is really vastly unrealistic.
Samsung to receive insurance payout for power outage damage {Engadget}
Aug 6th 2007 4:30PM Well, I'm sure they do have backup generators, but seriously, think about it... this is a plant that supposedly produces a not-so-insignificant portion of world's DRAM supply. Can you imagine how much electricity is needed to keep a plant like that running?
There's no way there exists any backup generator that's big enough to keep that plant running non-stop for however many hours it'll require them to figure out what went wrong with the power grid and fix it. I bet they have a BIG ASS generator, and that probably buys you maybe half an hour or so, during which you can back up some data, and safely bring some of their more sensitive equipment off line, before the whole thing comes crashing down.
I mean these plants probably consume as much power as a small city. There's absolutely no way any backup generator will keep these plants stay on line for more than a few hours, unless your backup generator is an actual power station, or a small nuclear reactor.

Seriously, though, is he going to need those electrode in his brain all the time, or can he take it out now, since he's awake?
