Blu-ray reportedly trailing CBHD in China, the second theater of the format war begins

Jul 27th 2009 11:51AM on Engadget

Who cares if Blu Ray discs are $28 if you are a renter (like me). Hello? Netflix?

Games are devolving. They're going back to their roots, when things were simpler.

Nintendo shatters dreams, has "no plans" to ship black Wii console in USA

Jul 17th 2009 10:55AM on Engadget

White Wii owners, don't feel bad--the black Wii doesn't stay black for long when it's always collecting dust.

This would make an excellent address sign. Imagine coming up to someone's house on halloween night and seeing that little gem staring back at you.

Let's not forget that computers have using similar tech with hollywood studios (aka green screen special effects) for DECADES. Technology is constantly evolving and borrowing ideas from each other. And, I'm ok with that.

Games that will take advantage of this tech will most likely have the environment on-screen move automatically where you don't have to walk in-place or simulate walking. That, or have a second one-handed Nunchuk-like device that has an analog stick at the thumb command that could be used to move your character while your other hand controls the weapon/item/device.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II update with manual video exposure controls now available

Yes, it would be great if the camera had those features, but maybe you're forgetting this is not a professional videocamera. This is like asking why point-and-shoot cameras don't perform 24-zone metering.

No, actually, SSDs are NOT like every other kind of component. Their lack of moving parts makes them EXPONENTIALLY more dependable and reliable than traditional hard drives.

Nintendo's Game Boy turns 20

Apr 23rd 2009 3:20PM on Engadget

I remember playing my Gameboy with Castlevania and Super Mario Land. Nemesis, Zelda Link's Awakening, TMNT, Tetris were some of my other favorites.

One of the best parts about the Gameboy was it's ability to play games in direct sunlight. The black LCD worked well in the sun and I didn't mind travelling with it. Just the opposite with the DS and PSP :(

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
