The Daily Engadget: MacBook Pro Battery Explodes, SmartPill Evaluates your GI Tract
Our friends over at Engadget obsessively cover everything new in gadgets and consumer electronics, which is why we compile this daily roundup of their top stuff (or, at least, what we think is tops). For more details on any of these stories, click on the Engadget links in each story below.

MacBook Pro Battery Explodes
Oh, boy. Another MacBook Pro battery, another explosion. This one started making an "odd noise," then "jumped up" and turned off. Bad things for a laptop to do.

SmartPill Checks You on the Inside
How well do you know your intestinal system? Not as well as you would if you were to ever swallow this SmartPill, which checks temperature and pH, and measures the time from intake to, erm, output.

Chumby One Now on Sale
Okay, so it's nowhere near as cuddly as the original Chumby, but it's just as useful, a little faster, and currently available.

Zune HD Games Demonstrated
Microsoft's Zune HD is a great device, but its lack of games puts it pretty far behind the iPod touch. These new releases from Microsoft should help it to catch up.
Psystar Founders Claim They Cracked OS X
Engaged in various legal battles for the right to build Mac clones, "Open Computer" purveyor Psystar certainly has no friends at Apple right now. To make things more interesting, it's making enemies among the Mac hacker community, too.

OutRun Arcade Cabinet Set for Scooter Transformation?
Gen X gamers surely remember the giant 'OutRun' arcade cabinet, one of the first to outrageously charge a full dollar in quarters. Now an artist wants to make a real car out of it, with electric scooter internals.
