Thank you for telling us that you don't have the skills to read even a realativly short bit of text. Reguadless you missed a good point (even if it did feel a bit biased).
NADA adds 'Rough' and 'Average' categories for trade-ins {Autoblog}
Sep 7th 2008 4:03PM I don't really see this as a problem. To me they are just moving clean vehicles to average which will make categories more accurate. That means if your car is crap, you will be worse off. However, if your keep your cars in nice shape you should now get some extra cash out of it since there is a practical difference even under the simplest categorization.
The editor-in-chief giveaway: Win Ryan Block's gadgets {Engadget}
Aug 22nd 2008 8:53PM Why would you sell it? Either its now worthless and is just cool to have, or its worth a lot and I wouldn't have it otherwise. So I would keep anything I could use and sell off the stuff I can't (VOIP for example).
Cable penetration continues to slip as satellite, IPTV add customers {Engadget HD}
Aug 16th 2008 12:20AM I have Comcast with DVR boxes, premium channels, and several movie channel packages. And I can't wait until fiber opens up. The number of HD channels that Comcast offers is fine, the real problem for me is that the quality of those challenges is horrible, with a decent amount of the content still running in 4:3 (which is understandable that Star Trek was never produced for HD) but upscale with many defects. Even my TVs (Sony Bravias and two Samsungs) upscale with better quality. Back to the boxes, they are slow and the remotes are a pain, but are hard to replace with universal remotes unless you buy the $250 harmony model. It’s truly disappointing.
Army seeking psychologically inspired object recognition system {Engadget}
Jul 19th 2008 12:29PM It allows the robot to rotate any form it sees in 3-d dimensions to see if the object is in fact a human. Right now if you contorted into a funny shape they might not see you, but with this advanced programming? You’re good as gone even if you do dislocate all your joints to bend them all in the wrong direction!
OCZ reveals Core Series SATA II 2.5 SSDs: 128GB for $479 {Engadget}
Jul 1st 2008 9:31AM Hmmm. Not bad. A 64GB harddrive would be more then enough for me. At $259 its still a bit expensive, but I guess in a year or two when they are half the current price I will have to buy myself a present.

Jun 27th 2008 6:19PM As already mentioned, my favorite microsoft product so far is Office 2007, never had a chance to use a Zune 2 though, only the first one.

The Bill Day giveaway (part 2) - Office Ultimate 2007 {Engadget}
Jun 27th 2008 5:47PM I'm personally a bit fan of Office 2007 itself. The ribbon is nice and its very fast no matter what size files I end up creating.
This would make a nice upgrade form the current Home and Student I have.
Nanosolar solar film rolls off the presses at 100 feet-per-minute {Engadget}

That 1.65 million dollar price is probably included the engineering cost to have it designed as well as the one-off machining costs, both of which are very expensive compared to a mass produced product. You would never want to build 100 of them because that would create too much supply and force you to lower price losing profit, also since the panels are becoming cheaper so quickly, to have 100 printers means that you would be unable to compete in 6 months, that’s why everyone builds just one plant every few years, so that they are always able to compete.
