Walking and jumping and generating energy, oh my
Posted on February 22, 2010 | No CommentsSometimes I'm assigned stories and I'm like, "Really? If you insist, boss." This is one of those stories. It's a collection of sidewalks, or derivatives, that "work while you wait." Yup.

Michael Dell shows off the Mini 5, confirms US arrival?
Posted on January 28, 2010 | No Comments
The Dell Mini 5, Dell's Android-powered Snapdragon slate, popped up at CES this year but we never got a clear look at it. However, when the CEO of Dell rolls into the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, he can show off anything he wants and our boss got a quick hands-on in the Swiss slush.
To recap, the Mini 5 is a 1GHz Snapdragon-powered netpad (did I just coin a phrase?) running Android 1.6 with 5-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 3G mobile. It should be selling for $1,098 before carrier subsidy.

Posted on December 7, 2009 | No CommentsTomorrow could be a very big day for World of Warcraft fans. (And aren't we all WoW fans?) Yes, players from Tokyo to Toledo, from London to Lima, are terribly excited about the possible release of the latest, and last, patch for Wrath of the Lich King. It'll bring the game to version 3.3, and, more importantly, bring about the demise of Arthas. Boo, Arthas!

FCC boss keeps driving home the ’spectrum, spectrum, spectrum’ message for wireless broadband
Posted on December 1, 2009 | No Comments
Love him or hate him, it seems destined that the FCC's Julius Genachowski will leave as big of a mark on the agency he's leading -- if not bigger -- than his predecessor Kevin Martin did, because he's hell-bent on shaking up the wireless airwaves and landlines he oversees in some pretty huge ways. Pushback from broadcasters is apparently quite strong, but he's reiterated at a conference today that he intends to investigate freeing up TV spectrum for to make room additional wide-area wireless services, a move that certainly seems to make sense on the surface considering that universal broadband to the home -- which could carry all the TV you'd ever need -- is also high on Genachowski's to-do list. The Universal Service Fund, which every American phone subscriber pays into and partly finances rural landline telephone operations where profits are harder to come by, is looking like a ripe target for renovation to bring broadband into the fold, theoretically making high-speed data more accessible to folks of all demographics and geographical affinities. Like the TV spectrum move, the USF realignment is meeting its fair share of detractors -- mainly among rural landline operators who rely on the funds for operation, of course -- but we're definitely gaining confidence that this dude isn't taking "no" for an answer in the long term.FCC boss keeps driving home the 'spectrum, spectrum, spectrum' message for wireless broadband originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 01 Dec 2009 21:49:00 EST.

AT&T’s BlackBerry Bold 9700 starts shipping out to top bananas
Posted on November 17, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: Handsets, RIM, ATT, GSM, EDGE, HSDPA, BlackBerry OS
Got an AT&T Premier account at your disposal? Does your nine to five require you to wear a suit on every day that ends in "y?" If you're nodding your head and simultaneously thinking about just how tight that top button is around your neck, there's a decent chance that you can get AT&T's version of the BlackBerry Bold 9700 right now. 'Course, those on T-Mobile have already been enjoying the spoils for a few hours now, but judging by the unboxing shots in the read link, that window of US exclusivity looks to be all but shut. So, anyone jabbing the boss for an upgrade?

Borderlands DLC Zombie Island of Dr. Ned gets a video preview
Posted on November 16, 2009 | No Comments
Everyone, I beat Borderlands on the PC over the weekend. It's a fantastic game and I highly recommend it although the end boss was a joke against my high-powered sniper rifle. But it looks like I'm not done yet. IGN got some playtime on the $10 DLC expansion and it looks fantastic. Zombies! The DLC Zombie Island of Dr. Ned is coming out on November 24 for the 360 and PS3 with the PC version dropping shortly afterwards. Check out the 2 minute video after the jump.

Blizzard has defeated the Door Boss!
Posted on September 6, 2009 | No Comments
Good news, everyone. It looks like Blizzard has finally defeated the Door Boss. That is, you should no longer, or not as frequently, run into the “additional instances cannot be launched” glitch. It truly is a time for celebration.

Don’t worry, Blizzard is trying to defeat the Door Boss once and for all. At least we think it’s trying.
Posted on September 2, 2009 | No CommentsThe Door Boss is a new phenomenon in World of Warcraft. You face him when you try to enter an Instance, only to find the error message, “Additional instances cannot be launched, please try again later.” It's quite annoying when all you want to do is run through, say, BFD once before you go to bed.

Anyone who's had to deal with co-workers in any capacity knows that kids trump all office-related priorities, leaving those of us without kids to do most of the heavy lifting while working parents leave for five hours every day to chauffeur their little, jobless a-holes to the emergency room every time one of them sneezes.
