Canon 7D vs Barbie Video Girl... fight! (video) {Engadget}
Aug 11th 2010 8:43AM @salamander The video itself is well filmed, and makes good use of DOF, but the actual comparison shots are useless. I know it's a joke, but why even bother if you're going to stop the 7d's lens all the way down? The footage winds up being fairly similar, because you're not taking advantage of the large chip or glass. Oh well, it was funny nonetheless.
Nikon D3100 to split the D5000 / D3000 difference? {Engadget}
Jul 16th 2010 11:41AM @Eaglerufio Owning the 5DII, I wouldn't say it matches up exactly, but it does do a great job. Besides the obvious lack in DOF, it has less light sensitivity and noisier imagery. If you have good lighting though, any of the newer dslrs will take outstanding video, so long as you can keep them steady, and don't pan too quickly.
Google Me to be the Googlish answer to Facebook? {Engadget}
Jun 29th 2010 8:21AM If google will import all of my facebook friends, they've got a winner. I hope they don't merge it with gmail too much, I don't want to see my inbox overrun with friend stream crap.

Video: MIT working on rapid recharging for electric vehicles {Engadget}
Jul 23rd 2009 6:05PM I'm sitting at MIT right now, and there are plenty of females around. As a side note, that electric bike parked next to me last week, and I've seen the porsche being driven around. They are both very impressive.
Video: Burger King tests MotionPower kinetic energy harvester {Engadget}
Jul 15th 2009 8:09PM you won't lose out on much, but you will lose some energy through any of these systems. Whatever losses driving over asphalt amounts to would not likely be significantly more than this surface, so the addition of whatever means to generate electricity this system uses would be an even less efficient tax on your gas tank than regular driving. It will benefit BK, but not net useful energy. Many systems can efficiently generate voltages, but none so far can recover current any better than a car's engine.
The $6,910 "best" headphone sound system: how can you afford your audiophile lifestyle? {Engadget}
Jul 15th 2009 1:48AM @ sacapuntos I've used most of Grado's lineup, and own a few sets of my own. the iGrados sound fine, but Its worth it to step up to the sr-60s. As with any audiophile setup, you'll be chasing diminishing returns as you pay more, but you won't get more bang for your buck than with Grados.
Engadget's recession antidote: win an insane grab bag of random stuff! {Engadget}
Jun 22nd 2009 9:12PM The only way for the economy to be fixed is with a real, value-backed dollar. This fractional reserve bullshit is just that. Banks wouldn't have done what they did if that were the currency, and people wouldn't have been lured into sub prime loans. It would be hard to get back to this, but its the only way.
Mattel's Mindflex coming October 1st for $99.99 {Engadget}
May 24th 2009 6:55AM if you were truly using an industrial model it undoubtedly uses SQUID's which this does not. If you were giving the lecture I'm surprised you don't understand the difference; even if this isn't closely related to your study, some one in "psychophysiology" ought to understand the differences between how differing systems "read" the mind, or at least be able to infer why a hundred dollar toy wouldn't incorporate said technology.
