Let me know if I've won the book (or anything)!

Gadling Gear: Creative ZEN Media Player {Gadling}

May 7th 2008 1:05PM I listen to a lot of podcasts, and I'm curious about the particulars of the Zen's bookmark feature. Does it AUTOMATICALLY remember where you've left off if you decide to change cuts, or is a bookmark something you need to somehow set BEFORE you switch over to another item? I've heard that the Nano automatically remembers this--does the Zen?

Microsoft and MediaCart prepping self-checkout carts, with RFID, video and grocery lists for good measure {Engadget}

Jan 14th 2008 10:28AM I hope they make these displays chew-proof, saliva-proof and fork-proof. These babies are in for quite a workout by the under-ten set, let alone when the carts leave the store and get left upside-down in a snowbank or smashed point-blank with chunks of asphalt. The supermarket chain near me once tried to attach security devices to the bottoms of carts, so they would lock up if taken away from the lot. The cost of repairing those boot-stomped, bat-thwacked carts was so prohibitive that the devices were pulled in less than two months. This idea might sound good in a boardroom presentation, but the maintainence and replacement costs out where the rubber meets the road deserve a second look. I don't want the price of my frozen peas to double because little Jonny pushed a cheesestick into the talking box of Cheerios on the screen.

Giveaway: super rare E Ink watch! {Engadget}

Jul 10th 2007 3:51PM This would replace an old Timex that doesn't work, but is still right once a day. It normally would be right TWICE a day, but it knows I check on it at night and changes the time right before I look at it.

It's our 2nd birthday and we're giving you the presents! {Engadget}

Mar 6th 2006 5:18AM I really enjoyed the take on Podjacking, and the new device created to help "prevent" it.

OK--so you've attached the IPod to your purse. Now, thieves will simply rip your purse. Maybe they'll come up with something that will attach your purse to your body. What could possibly go wrong?
