Poll: Will the DROID have you in its clutches? {Engadget}

Nov 6th 2009 10:47AM I saw one in BestBuy yesterday, and it was really slick in person. Feels solid and well built. I would love to have this phone, but I wont be switching carriers for it.

Kids Guard USB stick is guaranteed to frustrate, encourage circumvention {Engadget}

Oct 26th 2009 3:29PM And why exactly is there something like a Crusader cross on it? Make the cross red and write "Protect me, my Lord, from my family finding my secret sins"

Ford GPS tech could tell cars when you're going too fast {Engadget}

Oct 13th 2009 9:44AM @Yaroukh. Subaru didn't compete in 09, along with Suzuki, due to economic concerns. How is that relevant to the handling or performance? They were winning before 09 and they will be winning again after. If I made cars, I would rather get a "BWAHAHA" for not competing, than for the multitude of reasons most of the US automakers get laughed at.

And I don't mean to imply all our US cars are not for me. There are some US cars that perform fantastic and I would love to own. Chevys Camaro and Corvette, Pontiac G8 GT.....maybe even a Mustang. Definitely a Tesla.

Oct 12th 2009 10:53AM There is no willy waving. The article implied that Ford doesn't make a car designed for going around corners quickly, which was argued. I added my 2 cents ( as valueless as I KNOW that is, this is the internet after all ).

Ford does have a WRC Focus, they just have to changed nearly everything about a regular focus to make it competitive. Thats my point. Ford makes decent cars, but they have to be modified to compare to what other manufacturers make as production cars.

Oct 12th 2009 9:31AM I haven't encountered ANY Ford yet that isn't humbled and or embarrassed by my WRX or my 330xi on a curvy OR straight road. Ford is years behind most of the competition. I will say they seem to be heading in the right direction lately with build quality.

Dow's POWERHOUSE solar shingles get along with non-solar siblings, your HOA {Engadget}

Oct 8th 2009 5:14PM Paul, you had a nice well thought reply there. It still doesn't change that the word and its recent upsurge in use is rampant and usually used completely incorrectly. Even in his post.

Fire-fighting robots head to South Korea, could face conflicts of interest {Engadget}

Oct 8th 2009 12:11PM Using the word "firefighting" to describe what this does is missleading. It has no extinguishing agent, and is simply a camera. They should call it a fire reconnaissance vehicle.

As a firefighter in the Detroit area, I have to say this isn't going to amount to much. It just isn't practical. As long as it uses wheels it will be more problem than solution. The floor in most structural fires isn't something you can simply drive a RC vehicle over. Most of what makes up a ceiling will be on the floor in the first few minutes of a large fire. Combine that with everything in a room the collapses to the floor, and you have a surface that needs "legs" to navigate. Maybe tracks could do it, but I would even be skeptical of that.

This could possibly be effective in very large open industrial applications with no fire load to clutter the floor, but then it would only have limited need. This thing really should be made without the heat resistance and instead used to recon HazMat emergencies.

Oct 8th 2009 10:40AM People that label everything "socialist", make me sick.

Zune HD gaming and app downloads confirmed: Twitter, Facebook, and 3D games on the way (updated) {Engadget}
