Police turning to GPS to track cars more than ever {Engadget}
Aug 15th 2008 9:55AM I don't think you can apply a blanket rule to the use of GPS for tracking purposes by public sector. For instance, take a high-speed chase that a policeman gets close enough to deploy a tracking tool that adhere's to the side of the car. It is often commented that high-speed chase occurs because of all those police cars chasing them. If an officer gets close enough to deploy one of these trackers, the officer can then backoff and track them electronically. By doing this, officers can, theoretically, eliminate the high-speed aspect of the chase and shop up at the perpetrator's front door later.
While I agree that unabandon tracking of a suspect requires a warrant, I don't think a blanket rule/law to that effect can be created.
Guitar Hero 3 rocks the BlackBerry, viciously {Engadget Mobile}
Apr 2nd 2008 12:54PM Seems a bit obscure - no strumming, only 3-keys and it's all thumbs! Maybe rename it to Thumb Hero. I don't know...I'll wait for more reviews before trying this one out!
Video: Land Rover LRX's iPhone personalizes your car settings {Engadget}
Jan 16th 2008 1:21PM So, only 1 other person is going to comment on the fact that the iPhone in the picture looks about 3-4 inches longer than what it really should be?
Did Engadget or AutoBlog distort this picture on purpose?? The iPhone is 2.5" wide by 4.5" long. The photo's looks to be 2.5"W by 7-8" long. Something is seriously wrong here.
Beyond that - I would tend to agree that a car that is adapted for a single-modeled phone for personal settings seems a bit ridiculous. But, I guess if you can afford this LRX, you can afford to go buy an iPhone to dedicate to it.

Kite-assisted ship to set sail in January {Engadget}
Dec 19th 2007 7:57AM You all are forgetting the main question... How they hell do they steer?? I know they still have a rudder, but, wind blows north, they aren't going south... unless they rev up the inboard diesels and pull the kite down. Doesn't sound like they're saving that much!

Dec 18th 2007 2:11PM You guys need wind-generators to catch the lakeshore winds off Lake Erie! I bet you could power the "mistake on the lake" and all of New York.

Dec 18th 2007 2:05PM Yea - I did mean QWERTY - just copied the German version instead. I didn't realize the German keyboard was different in this regard. Just swapping the Y and Z makes it german. See, you DO learn something new every day!
thanks!
