Verizon will run LTE trials in Seattle and Boston later this year {Engadget}
Jul 27th 2009 8:55PM LTE is a whole new way to think about cell phone service. There is no voice separated from text separated from data. Everything is data running on the the same network. Furthermore, LTE uses lower frequencies with huge bandwidth--meaning you can much more easily get fast signals through walls indoors. I would not be surprised if verizon offered free unlimited data/texts with every LTE plan, and advertised incredible speeds even in underground bunkers.
Are memristors the future of Artifical Intelligence? DARPA thinks so {Engadget}
Jul 14th 2009 4:10PM You can still read a memristor without changing its resistance by measuring the the change in voltage across the memristor using a small alternating current.
Think of a memristor like a box. You have to open the box to put stuff in the box and take stuff out, but you only have to shake it to know how much stuff is inside.

Motion control wars: Xbox 360 and PS3 are playing catch-up with Wii next year, who will do it right? {Engadget}
Jun 5th 2009 2:22PM Nintendo is probably loving this. The real reason why the Wii is still not getting support is that it is not competing with the PS3 or Xbox360, but both of them combined. Developers had the choice between developing for a 50-million install base for Wii or a 50-million install base for PS360. Now the HD console platform has been shattered. You can't develop a game on one system that works both for Natal and the Sony Wand. So now it's a competition between the 50-million install base Wii, the 30-million install base Xbox360 and the 20-million install base PS3. All third party motion games will still be going to the Wii.
If Microsoft and Sony wanted to be smart, then they would have made compatible systems so they could compete this generation. Differentiation will be their downfall.

Jun 3rd 2009 1:30PM * For those lauding Natal, tell me this...apart from stuff bouncing off you, how would you for instance tell an on screen gun to fire?
Probably say "bang", unless MS has a little nunchuck-like peripheral to accompany the system by the time it is released.
GM says bankruptcy won't affect the Volt, but how much say does it have? {Engadget}
Jun 1st 2009 2:08PM Actually, the Tesla S is $56,400 and the Volt is $40,000. After the $7,500 tax credit, they drop to $48,900 and $32,500 respectively. And at that price, the S gets 160 miles per charge. So basically the S is dead for the day after 160 miles, but the Volt can go on gasoline indefinitely.
