Confirmed: Palm Pre's iTunes support is very, very hacky (Engadget)

Jun 4th 2009 5:14PM Well, at least it comes w/ a copy of the new Moonalice CD, produced by T Bone Burnett. Seems like it'd be a conflict of interest, but maybe it's just a well-thought-out plug to include the person who owns the majority of the Palm company's CD on the release of its biggest phone yet. Looks like Bono & U2 thought otherwise...probably a contract w/ Apple.

+1 First thing that jumped out at me, too. I like the design & packaging, but the 'wit' was lost the moment Engrish stepped into the room.

Video: Theremin-esque digital synth sure to get Brian Wilson up in arms (Engadget)

Apr 20th 2009 6:38PM Simply untrue. Paul Tanner, inventor of the Tannerin aka electro-theremin aka slide theremin, played them on the Beach Boys albums. The tracks were: "Good Vibrations", "Wild Honey", and "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times".

Apr 20th 2009 5:08PM FWIW, Brian Wilson didn't record that part on Good Vibrations, and it wasn't a theremin...it was a Tannerin...a slide theremin akin to the one Radiohead use.

Pentax bridge digital camera image leaked ahead of PMA? (Engadget)

Mar 1st 2009 6:20PM Looks like a new model in the Pentax K Series to me...I don't see the hotshoe, but it could have been erased.

Internal Combustion Guitar - gnarly guitar tone at a polite volume (Engadget)

Sep 26th 2008 3:16PM No one wants HD for the guitar...The guitar isn't a hifi instrument.

Leave this work to the amps...You don't need a dumble (after all, carlos created the early tones w/ Boogies). Give yourself some overwound, hot pickups, play with a live amp, crank the mids, and you'll have yourself the 'internal combustion guitar'.
