Gain a superpower by learning to touch-type - Back to School {Download Squad}
Aug 31st 2010 1:03PM I don't 'touch type' in the fashion they taught back in grade school, i.e. home row and all that, but I don't have to look at the keyboard, use all fingers except my thumbs which stay on the spacebar, and can usually keep up with or beat most touch-typists I know at real world typing tasks. Guess it all comes down to how you learned, I just learned by doing I guess, and find that I have the key positions memorized to where I can brush my index fingers over the 'F' and 'J' and know exactly where my hands are and what keys my fingers are currently over, without looking once. I'll go take a speed-test later when I'm not as busy and post it as a reply for anyone who's interested.
Man watches his home being burglarized via his iPhone {TUAW.com}
Aug 24th 2010 6:33PM The phone isn't being left at home, at least as far as I can tell. He got the notification on his phone which he had with him at the time of the break in.
Kindle gets waterproof case from M-Edge, begins its life aquatic {Engadget}
Jun 10th 2010 8:45AM "Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave! With a box of scraps!"
First thing I thought of when I read the spare parts line...and meh, this might be useful for some people, but I live dangerously, I just use my G1 or iPod Touch and rest it poolside, still haven't dropped either of them in.
BaseKit is a web app that generates websites from Photoshop PSD files {Download Squad}
Feb 9th 2010 4:23PM Nice to see a web app that does something like this, haven't had time to check it out much, but it sounds a bit like a plugin I've had for PS called SiteGrinder, only in online form. Not knocking the service, just saying that the PSD to website idea isn't entirely new. I'll be trying for a beta key just to experiment with it.
Lucid's GPU-mixing HYDRA Engine gets previewed, shows real promise {Engadget}
Nov 11th 2009 2:05PM I personally would find this nice, since I usually out of habit build a new machine with a mid-range nVidia card (9600GT), and then the high-end, cheap ATI cards come out a few months later (5850/5870) and I don't see a reason to junk my perfectly good GT just for a little boost from the ATI card. This would give me the best of both worlds, plus freedom to switch between XFire and SLI as I saw fit, and yeah, I know there are boards that already do that, but they are limited in other ways more than likely.
Verizon looking to bump early termination fee to $350 on 'advanced' devices {Engadget}
Nov 4th 2009 3:33PM Andir, your math is flawed...you still have to pay activation ($36) and one month service, lets call it $75 for data/voice/text. Comes out to $200+$175+$75+$36=$486, yielding a profit for the end user of only $14, minus eBay/PayPal fees, so you're actually losing a few bucks flipping the phone. I know, I've done it with iPhones, BlackBerries, etc. It's hard to keep costs competitive when flipping....

Are Apple Time Capsules out of time after a year and a half? {TUAW.com}
Sep 11th 2009 4:22PM Another reason for me to move to Europe after college... Why do you guys get all the good consumer protection laws? Ah, don't answer that, America is too business-centric is all.

Turtle Beach keeps tweens boasting with Ear Force X41 Xbox 360 headset {Engadget}
Aug 11th 2009 7:39AM I'll go along with the rest and say that those 5.1/7.1 headphones, if designed properly, do a great job of providing 3d positional audio. Don't think you're gonna watch a 5.1 Dolby Surround movie with them and get the same effect, but they're fine for gaming. I actually have a pair of Tritton AXPCs, which are similar I believe to these TBs, just not wireless and they're for a pc instead of 360.
