Toyota has worked internal noise-canceling into its new Crown hybrid, with microphones to pick up engine and road noise, and then speakers to blast out antiphase versions of those noises at head height. Toyota claims it can cut noise by around 5 to 8dB.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.redferret.net/?p=10959">TRFJ</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/english/NEWS_EN/20080619/153489/>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/noise-cancelling-toyota-crown-zeroes-out-sounds-at-head-height/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1307397/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/noise-cancelling-toyota-crown-zeroes-out-sounds-at-head-height/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?a=hBJ1oM"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?i=hBJ1oM" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=M2Rml"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=M2Rml" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=EiAsl"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=EiAsl" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~4/386638147" height="1" width="1"/>crownhybridnoise cancellingNoiseCancellingtoyotaMon, 08 Sep 2008 08:26:00 ESThttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/noise-cancelling-toyota-crown-zeroes-out-sounds-at-head-height/http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/386616205/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/cerns-lhc-first-beam-to-be-broadcast-live-on-wednesday/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/cerns-lhc-first-beam-to-be-broadcast-live-on-wednesday/#comments<div align="center"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/03/doomsday-machine.jpg" /><br /></div> Set your alarms and kiss the kids goodbye, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/cern">CERN</a> will be providing a live webcast of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/us-lawsuit-calls-large-hadron-collider-a-doomsday-machine-higgs/">Large Hadron Collider's</a> "First Beam" <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/07/world-to-end-wednesday/">maiden voyage on Wednesday</a>.

According to a status log from the International Space Station over the weekend, the Joint Station LAN network was transitioned to "new Netgear wireless APs, which provide the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ISS/">ISS</a> with WiFi connectivity." The official report details the crew using it for very official and politically correct things (you know, testing and whatnot), but we're pretty darn sure a deathmatch or two went down as well.

The black and white, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/e-ink">E Ink </a>device features a wireless link to download content, room enough to store "hundreds of pages of newspapers, books, and documents," and a display more than twice the size of the wee <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/kindle">Kindle</a> while suffering just half the ugly. Better yet, the device is said to use "flexible, lightweight plastic" rather than glass resulting in a reader about one-third the thickness of the Kindle at about the same weight -- the reader itself (pictured left) looks rigid compared to that flexible display Plastic Logic has demonstrated in the past. Expected to go on sale during the first half of 2009 with more details, including which news organizations will feed information to the reader, promised for CES in January.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/08/technology/08ink.html>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/plastic-logic-finally-ready-to-launch-flexible-e-newspaper-re/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1307326/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/plastic-logic-finally-ready-to-launch-flexible-e-newspaper-re/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?a=NfDVzs"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?i=NfDVzs" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=Q157l"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=Q157l" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=s58Ul"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=s58Ul" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~4/386581306" height="1" width="1"/>e booke inkebookEInkkindlenewspaperplastic logicPlasticLogicMon, 08 Sep 2008 06:50:00 ESThttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/plastic-logic-finally-ready-to-launch-flexible-e-newspaper-re/http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/386562356/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/asus-10-2-inch-n10-netbook-priced-at-849/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/asus-10-2-inch-n10-netbook-priced-at-849/#comments<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/laptops/" rel="tag">Laptops</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://www.jr.com/asus/pe/ASU_N10JA2"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/09/9-8-08-asus_n10_netbook.jpg" alt="" /></a><br /></div> Ah, fiddlesticks! Here we were hoping that somehow ASUS could pack a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270, 2GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive and NVIDIA's GeForce 9300M GS into a netbook for under half a grand, but deep down, we knew it wasn't to be. Instead, this (very) well-spec'd <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/N10/">N10</a> is ringing up at $849 over at J&amp;R's website, but that also buys you a 10.2-inch LCD, 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi, a fingerprint reader, Windows Vista Business and a built-in webcam.

For $30, RealDVD plans to do what <a href="http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=dvd%20jon">DVD Jon</a> enabled years ago -- namely, making digital copies of your DVDs. Unlike Jon's illegal DRM stripping software, RealNetworks' approach lays on additional DRM allowing you to make a single copy, only, playable on the machine doing the rip -- up to five additional Windows PCs can be authorized at a cost of $20 per. <br /><br />Real thinks that the use of the additional DRM coupled with <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/30/kaleidescape-escapes-dvd-ccas-wrath-in-court/">Kaleidescape's legal victory</a> -- a ruling that seemingly authorizes users to copy DVDs for their own personal use -- will help it escape the wrath of the MPAA. Not that RealNetworks has ever been afraid of a fight as demonstrated by its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/26/realnetworks-offering-unauthorized-downloads-for-the-ipod/">2004 scuffle with Apple</a> when it began offering software that allowed iPods to play Real's DRM'd content.

Looking for something a bit entry level? Fujitsu may have just the thing for you. The company has just introduced its L1010 mid-priced laptop (in Asia, at least), and it looks like just the right thing if you're not trying to break the bank or win friends and influence others. The L1010 packs a Core 2 Duo CPU atop the PM45/GM45 Express Chipset, a 1280 x 800, 14.1-inch LCD display, an NVIDIA 9300M GS graphics card with 256MB of RAM, WiFi, a 1.3-megapixel webcam, and HDMI outs. The laptops come in white and pink gold, black, turquoise blue, pink and purple color configurations, though the press release somehow fails to make mention of RAM or hard drive options. Fujitsu is mum on price and release date, but we'd say not too expensive, and fairly soon.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.itechnews.net/2008/09/07/fujitsu-l1010-notebook-for-gen-y/">iTech News Net</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.fujitsu.com/hk/news/pr/fpcap_20080903.html>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/07/fujitsu-asia-pacific-intros-the-l1010/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1306807/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/07/fujitsu-asia-pacific-intros-the-l1010/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?a=YOYSzy"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?i=YOYSzy" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=oCSGl"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=oCSGl" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=i90El"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=i90El" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~4/386013478" height="1" width="1"/>asiaasia pacificAsiaPacificfujitsul1010Sun, 07 Sep 2008 15:25:00 ESThttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/07/fujitsu-asia-pacific-intros-the-l1010/http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/385915404/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/07/cedia-2008-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/07/cedia-2008-roundup/#comments<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/displays/" rel="tag">Displays</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/hdtv/" rel="tag">HDTV</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/homeentertainment/" rel="tag">Home Entertainment</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/wireless/" rel="tag">Wireless</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/tag/cedia2008"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://www.engadgethd.com/media/2008/09/9-3-08-cedia-expo.jpg" alt="" /></a><br /></div> <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/tag/CEDIA2008/">CEDIA 2008</a> was a whirlwind of new projectors, HDTVs and all sorts of other wares that home theater freaks just love.

We won't tear down the whole thing here, but the primary takeaway seems to be mixed. Apparently the new processor on board really souped up the thing, but Archos skimped on the software, shipping what basically amounts to a buggy beta. That's no small criticism for Archos from its number one fans, so let's hope the company gets its act together fast. The review is in French, but there's an unboxing vid after the break, in that universal language of nerdery.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/07/archos-5-series-reviewed-in-french/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Archos 5 series reviewed in French</em></a></p><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://translate.google.fr/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Farchoslounge.net%2FTest-Archos-5-Introduction%2C8277.html&amp;sl=fr&amp;tl=en&amp;hl=fr&amp;ie=UTF-8>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/07/archos-5-series-reviewed-in-french/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1306656/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/07/archos-5-series-reviewed-in-french/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?a=vcFTBy"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?i=vcFTBy" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=2tYrl"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=2tYrl" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=EXoHl"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=EXoHl" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~4/385819659" height="1" width="1"/>archosarchos 5Archos5reviewSun, 07 Sep 2008 10:24:00 ESThttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/07/archos-5-series-reviewed-in-french/http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/385727063/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/07/scientists-get-death-threats-over-large-hadron-collider/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/07/scientists-get-death-threats-over-large-hadron-collider/#comments<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gadgets/" rel="tag">Misc.

Death threats? Seriously? According to a fresh report from the Telegraph, gurus working on the mysterious <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/us-lawsuit-calls-large-hadron-collider-a-doomsday-machine-higgs/">Large Hadron Collider</a> are receiving all sorts of strange messages, e-mails and faxes as the go-live date (this Wednesday, supposedly) draws ever closer. For those curious about why some folks are up in arms over this thing, we'll simply point you to this <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/cern-rap-video-about-the-large-hadron-collider-creates-a-black-h/">very informational rap video</a>; for those opposed to nerdy hip-hop, let's just say its primary goal is to "seek out new particles including the long-awaited Higgs boson responsible for making things weigh what they do and the possible source of gravity called dark matter." Somehow or another, the paranoid among us think that carrying out those tasks will rip the world wide open or leave you stuck in 1990 with nothing in your CD player but <em>Ice Ice Baby</em>. Okay, so maybe that last scenario <em>is</em> worth getting worked up about.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.tgdaily.com/html_tmp/content-view-39210-117.html">TGDaily</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/property/main.jhtml?view=DETAILS&amp;grid=&amp;xml=/earth/2008/09/05/scilhc105.xml>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/07/scientists-get-death-threats-over-large-hadron-collider/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1306651/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/07/scientists-get-death-threats-over-large-hadron-collider/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?a=d2ycRM"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?i=d2ycRM" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=3aKYl"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=3aKYl" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=Xzkql"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=Xzkql" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~4/385727063" height="1" width="1"/>CERNdeath threatdeath threatsDeathThreatDeathThreatsHadron ColliderHadronCollidernuclearparticlescienceUKSun, 07 Sep 2008 07:37:00 ESThttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/07/scientists-get-death-threats-over-large-hadron-collider/http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/385596594/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/07/psp-and-360-chatpad-are-a-match-hacked-in-heaven/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/07/psp-and-360-chatpad-are-a-match-hacked-in-heaven/#comments<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gaming/" rel="tag">Gaming</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=22647.msg171501#msg171501"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/09/psp-chatpad.png" alt="" /></a><br /></div> Some dedicated hackers have finally managed to get the PSP and Microsoft's Xbox 360 <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Chatpad/">Chatpad</a> typing.

A USB fan that blatantly lies about purifying the hot air coming from that clogged up tower of yours? All present and accounted for, sir, and that's not even the half of 'em.

An eagle-eyed forum poster managed to snag shots of what appear to be the camera in action, taken in Belgium this August doing what it does best... snapping pictures. There's not much more to say, but this should thoroughly wet your whistle for the model's forthcoming introduction, which we can only imagine will be happening sometime around the upcoming Photokina.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1037&amp;thread=29213659">Digital Photography Review</a>; Thanks, Douglas]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xitek.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Fthreadid%3D557025&amp;sl=zh-CN&amp;tl=en&amp;hl=en&amp;ie=UTF-8>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/sonys-a900-dslr-caught-in-the-wild/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1306216/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/sonys-a900-dslr-caught-in-the-wild/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?a=lhzumb"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?i=lhzumb" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=ifvQl"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=ifvQl" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=uXXll"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=uXXll" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~4/385047903" height="1" width="1"/>a900alphadslrin the wildInTheWildsonySat, 06 Sep 2008 10:03:00 ESThttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/sonys-a900-dslr-caught-in-the-wild/http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/384984558/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/intel-hoping-to-get-larrabee-within-next-gen-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/intel-hoping-to-get-larrabee-within-next-gen-xbox/#comments<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gaming/" rel="tag">Gaming</a></p><a href="http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/09/03/potential-console-deal-intel"><img vspace="16" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/09/9-5-08-xbox-intel-inside.jpg" /></a>Quite honestly, there's absolutely zero proof that Intel and Microsoft are yapping it up in regard to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Larrabee/">Larrabee</a>, but considering just how logical it sounds, we couldn't help but pass along the latest whispers surrounding the two. According to those fabled "industry insiders," <em>The Inquirer</em> has it that Intel is currently on bended knee asking Microsoft to integrate Larrabee into the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/14/wii-2-and-xbox-the-third-hitting-in-2010/">next-generation Xbox</a>. If it were to land such a deal, developers would -- in essence -- be forced to develop for Larrabee given the need for console titles, which could then make things all the easier for Intel on the PC side. Like we said, this is all speculatory for now, but so long as the dots continue to connect, we'll at least give this one a fighting chance at materializing.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/09/05/rumor-intel-vying-for-larrabee-chip-in-xbox-720/">Joystiq</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/09/03/potential-console-deal-intel>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/intel-hoping-to-get-larrabee-within-next-gen-xbox/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1306256/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/intel-hoping-to-get-larrabee-within-next-gen-xbox/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?a=6T071r"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?i=6T071r" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=HDGgl"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=HDGgl" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=BtsZl"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=BtsZl" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~4/384984558" height="1" width="1"/>chipsetconsoleCPUdealGPUgraphicsgraphics cardGraphicsCardintelLarrabeemicrosoftrumorxboxxbox 360Xbox360Sat, 06 Sep 2008 07:50:00 ESThttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/intel-hoping-to-get-larrabee-within-next-gen-xbox/http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/384955282/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/supposed-ipod-nano-4g-really-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/supposed-ipod-nano-4g-really-unboxed/#comments<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portableaudio/" rel="tag">Portable Audio</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portablevideo/" rel="tag">Portable Video</a></p><div align="center"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/09/ipod-nano-4g-lime-eng.jpg" alt="" /><br /></div> There you have it, more supposed <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/05/ipod-nano-4g-leaked-in-actual-factual-really-real-spy-photo/">iPod nano 4G</a> love, unboxed and wearing a distinctive <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/2g-nano-announced/">iPod nano 2G</a> lime-colored coat.

A recent job posting from Redmond for a "Software Development Engineer in Test" calls on someone who "dream[s] about having a mobile phone based entertainment experience powered by a unified entertainment service across devices such as Zune, Xbox and PC." Someone, the ad reads, who will, "create a 'Connected Entertainment' experience, realized through the Zune service, that spans multiple devices such as Zune, Xbox, PC and Mobile phones."

That's where the Energy Ball comes in, with its spherical shape that captures wind less obtrusively and yet more efficiently. At least that's what we're told, we're a bit short on details. We do know that it's in the prototype stages and was designed by Swedish company Home Energy, who claims their smallest Energy Ball can provide about 15% of the necessary energy to power the average Swedish home.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.inhabitat.com/2008/09/03/energy-ball-by-home-energy/">Inhabitat</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.homeenergy.se/vindkraft.aspx>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/energy-ball-wind-turbine-captures-energy-for-the-home/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1306098/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/energy-ball-wind-turbine-captures-energy-for-the-home/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?a=gjw2qT"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?i=gjw2qT" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=oJ9hl"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=oJ9hl" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=83Wwl"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=83Wwl" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~4/384777618" height="1" width="1"/>energy ballEnergyBallhome energyHomeEnergywind turbineWindTurbineSat, 06 Sep 2008 00:46:00 ESThttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/06/energy-ball-wind-turbine-captures-energy-for-the-home/http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/384728279/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/05/ipod-nano-4g-leaked-in-actual-factual-really-real-spy-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/05/ipod-nano-4g-leaked-in-actual-factual-really-real-spy-photo/#comments<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portableaudio/" rel="tag">Portable Audio</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portablevideo/" rel="tag">Portable Video</a></p><div align="center"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/09/ipod_nano_4g_spy2.jpg" /><br /></div> <span style="float: right; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-left: 4px;"><script> digg_url = 'http://digg.com/apple/iPod_nano_4G_leaked_really_real_spy_shot'; </script><script src="http://digg.com/api/diggthis.js"></script></span>Look, you know the drill here.
