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.

I love the look of Yamaha’s latest audio gear, especially the A-S700 amp on top: big knobs, chunky buttons, and nary an unnecessary display by which to be distracted.

The new Asus Eee PC S101 is my new favorite netbook that I probably still won’t buy. It’s gorgeous, but more than that, it’s tiny: 10.2-inch screen, less than 1 kilogram in weight (probably around 2 pounds), and only 1.8-centimeters thick. Before you ask: yup, that’s smaller and thinner than the MacBook Air.

Joby’s Gorillapod tripod is great. I’ve had one for years and it goes with me on every trip. It ably handles my DSLR and smaller camcorders. And it’s cheap!
The new Gorillapod “Focus” tripod is not cheap. It’s $150. But at 1.1-pounds it’s rated to handle up to 11 pounds of gear. That’s the size of [...]

Remember when you were a kid and there were all of those pictures in Popular Mechanics about cars that drove themselves and knew exactly where everybody else was so that wrecks never happened? I loved that magazine. The days of flying cars are still far beyond us, but at least one automobile manufacturer is trying [...]
