Long Way Down: Through Europe and Africa by Motorcycle

May 10th 2007 12:02PM on Gadling

Long Way Round did air in the States on A&E I believe. I watched every episode and loved it.

Long Way Down has been in the rumor/planning stage for quite some time, so it's nice to see that they are finally taking off. Of course, they're not the first to do it on a bike. Check out Lois Pryce's African adventure vis motorcyle here:

Her book Lois On The Loose is also a run read as she rode her bike from Alaska to the tip of South America.

Seven Wonders of the World: Bollywood Style

Feb 8th 2007 5:24PM on Gadling

What list for the Seven Wonders of the World has either the Great Wall or The Leaning Tower of Pisa on it? Is there some new list? Because those aren't on the tradional, classic list of the Seven Wonders, which would include:

1. The Great Pyramid of Giza (Only one still standing)
2. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
3. The Statue of Zeus at Olympia
4. The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
5. The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
6. The Colossus of Rhodes
7. The Lighthouse of Alexandria

Disney World in Two Days?

I'll second the suggestion about the countries of Epcot. Great places to eat there as well.

However, with only two days, no way in hell you'll see everything. Sorry. Not possible. You'll be planning a return trip when you get back.

You name the iPhone

How about the iCel?

I can pretty much guarantee you that the name won't have "Mac" in the title, as they won't want to have people thinking it's a Mac only product. If they can't use iPhone, than I wouldn't be surprised if it were something like iChat, but they may come up with something completely different like iPortal (iPort) and sell it as an all in one PDA, phone, iPod device that is your "portal" for data/communications/music/etc. on the go.

Yeah, it's a stretch, but you never know! :)

Watch your TIVO from Abroad

The Slingbox has been around for a long time now. This really isn't a new product, although they have had some recent updates to it that have improved it overall. Cool stuff though. Highly recommend it.

DIRECTV's HR20 tested and reviewed

Oct 3rd 2006 11:13AM on Engadget HD

Am I missing something or is this "review" actually a preview? The text of the article even says they haven't gotten their hands on the new DVR yet. The 7.1 rating is from USERS who actually do have it.

Universal brings out Vin Diesel's big guns via The Fast and The Furious on HD DVD

Haven't they all been in 1080p so far? It's just that the current hardware can't output it in 1080p.

'Poseidon' ready to tank all over again come August

Jul 11th 2006 11:55AM on Engadget HD

Granted, the sequels performed better at the box office, despite being inferior films, but it's not like $171 million box office is performing badly. Especially when the film cost $65 million to make. It is true though that many people "discovered" the film on DVD and at one point it was the biggest selling DVD of all time. Not sure if that is still true or not. Regardless, to say that the Matrix didn't do well in the theater is just false, and to use it in a compairson with Poseidon is just plain wrong. :)

'Poseidon' ready to tank all over again come August

Um...didn't The Matrix make like $175 million at the box office? How is that "not doing well at the theater"?

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
