I'm just the opposite. My eyes can't ignore the thing & it's damn aggravating! I want a stop or pause or minimize button so it'll quite moving & being so distracting. I'd also like to see it moved down below the breaking, featured & other site's top 5s. Bottom line: I don't like it so at least make it less annoying.

Dell adds new screen resolutions to the XPS m1530

Dec 22nd 2007 2:01PM on Engadget

@Tony - well, that's exactly the point! The XPS isn't a "standard" laptop so it shouldn't have a "standard" screen with lackluster rez.

When I originally ordered my latest laptop, I got a great deal on a 1280x800. Boy, was that a mistake! Not only was the rez not up to what I was used to (1280x1024 standard aspect), I had to freakin' scroll all the time to do anything. Sent it back & got this one - I wouldn't trade my 1920x1200 15-incher for love nor money! The quality of the screen still amazes me at times.

Trains and burgers: Sprint launching NFC trial in Bay Area

Dec 22nd 2007 1:18PM on Engadget

Uhhhhh, excuse me but where have you been? MC has PayPass, Visa has payWave & some AmEx cards have ExpressPay, all of which use the same contactless reader system based on NFC. Their adoption rate has been a chicken & egg thing - sellers are slow to put the new readers in because card issuers have been slow to put the RF chips in. ID or signing for NFC transactions is typically not required for transactions under $25 & the usual fraud protection applies. I think the cell phone version will take off once they find a way to let you load multiple cards on it & easily choose which one you want to use for any particular purchase. I carry my cell everywhere; I can't come close to saying the same thing about my wallet & would love to carry it even less than I do! What's not to like?

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
