As all men know, the perfect rotundity of the compact disc is necessary to prevent warbling and jittering in the digital audio stream. Up until now, though, any music aficionado who happened to accidentally purchase elliptical or even square compact discs from disreputable music blackmarketers were forced to take compass and grinder in hand and [...]

Engadget has been selected as the “Official Blog Partner” of CES. TechCrunch, among others, are viewing it less as a prize awarded to Engadget and more like a penalty against Gizmodo for the stunt it pulled last year.
It’s impossible to understand from the press release if extra access is to be granted to Engadget, but [...]

I have been lusting after a VooDoo Envy notebook since seeing them a few months back and that hasn’t abated, even after seeing this hands-on review at Gizmodo. Their reaction to the VooDoo is probably what mine would be, even with abysmal battery life it’s just so darn cool. The Envy is not cheap either [...]

Cut from a single “brick” of aluminum, purportedly, the new MacBook Pro is a sculpture: it exists in the marble, waiting to be cut free by the chisel. Or the laser. You know.

At first glance I presume that Nikon’s new “Media Port UP” was some sort of specialized, head-mounted imager — yet another take on the Gargoyle media-streamer idea I’ve been dorkily looking forward to for ages. But nope: it’s a media player. (Albeit one with Wi-Fi and a built-in web browser.)
