Sergey Brin: Android and Chrome OS 'will likely converge over time'

Nov 23rd 2009 8:45AM on Engadget

The question is "why did they have to diverge in the first place"?

In the Pre, Palm made a web-powered device which is much more Google-like and Chrome-like than Android is.

It seems like Google lacks something which keeps these diverse technical projects heading in the same direction.

Discipline!

iTunes TOS update hints at Apple TV 3.0 software

Oct 29th 2009 1:09PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

My main use of the AppleTV is to stream movies from a file server in the basement. This means using hacked software on the AppleTV.

I avoid these updates, because they require more hackery.

Boston Dynamics PETMAN predicts the future of man as pet (video)

This is dramatically better than the statically-balanced, ASIMO-style walking.

Asimo walks like an old person with some kind of toilet accident.

Oct 15th 2009 8:31AM on Engadget

How would you change Panasonic's Lumix DMC-GH1?

Sep 19th 2009 5:47AM on Engadget

The unique selling point of the camera is 1080p 24fps video.
But the 1080p video is currently un-usable. It's over compressed and the images are filled with a muddy lack of visual detail. The AVCHD codec seems to handle low-contrast detail by flattening it completely.

Either up the bitrate, or create a better solution.

Really needs fixing.

Official Windows 7 upgrade chart is ridiculous

Aug 6th 2009 7:32PM on Engadget

By way of comparison. Would someone kindly print the OS X upgrade matrix?

What do you mean "only one cell"?
What do you mean by "keep all your files and settings"?

Nikon D300s officially announced -- 720p/24 movie mode with autofocus and mic input

Jul 31st 2009 5:09AM on Engadget

I'd prefer to reserve judgement about this until we have at least seen some actual footage.

On paper the GH1 is very interesting.
But the compression renders the footage unusable.

iTunes Store to add enhanced liner notes, extra media to album purchases

Jul 27th 2009 1:54PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

The tablet story gets less credible with each twist.

No one wants a pocket device which too big for a pocket.
No one wants to run desktop apps on a 10" screen.

If Apple has a device like this, then they are targeting some unique selling point we do not know about yet.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
