Microsoft Shift Makes Cellphone Finger Input Easier (But Not Booger Free)

The shift project from Microsoft research has a goal that may not seem lofty at first, but could possibly help shape cellphone touchscreen technology in a big way. Traditionally, with Windows Mobile phones and other touchscreen phones, you have to use a stylus because your finger is too fat and unwieldy. Even Apple’s iPhone, with…

Quick News: Stanford Bows to MPAA and More

Stanford University has hit a new low. In what looks to be an effort to stay off of the Motion Picture Association of America’s list of worst downloading universities. Stanford has decided to start issuing $100-$1000 reconnect fees if you don’t respond to a DMCA complaint. Looks like Vista/Server 2008 will be Microsoft’s last 32-bit…

Engadget’s Response to Applegate

Technically, I’m obligated to give these guys noogies whenever I can. But I think Ryan’s response to “Applegate” is fair. So here’s my support of a fellow gadget journalist, feud be damned.

Shoe Flash Drive Looks Strangely Familiar

This is a pretty average flash drive that comes in a not-so-average package. This toe of this athletic shoe pops off to reveal the USB connector capable of storing up to 1GB of your favorite sports (or anything else) related goods. No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. That appears to be the oh-so-familiar Nike swoosh…

Afghanistan Rescue Robot Hauls Suitcases, Drags Ass

I encountered this Star Wars reject at the RoboBusiness 2007 conference in Boston this week. Not only can this crane-happy robot diffuse bombs, hold a fire hose, and give injections, it will also drag your ass six ways from Sunday across the craggy desert—usually to safety, though in my case it was at high velocity…

Sony Ericsson Adwatch: Beautiful Japanese Phones and Women
