Electric vehicles pose concerns for blind pedestrians - possible solutions

Autos – Electric vehicles are an exciting future technology, but one aspect of the near-silent cars is a true negative: blind pedestrians will have a hard time hearing the cars coming. Possible soultions include adding noises to the cars to alert the visually impaired.

Welcome to the new Engadget!

Gadgets & Tech – Welcome to the new Engadget! It's taken us a ridiculously long time to get to this point (could everyone please stop having keynotes we have to liveblog?), but we're finally ready to introduce the latest version of Engadget. We haven't just refreshed the design, either, we've added a bunch of new features that should make Engadget a little more use

Cingular bans the word Engadget

News – Oh, Cingular. We know you're ed at us -- you stopped returning our phone calls a while ago after we posted that product roadmap we got our hands on -- but banning all mention of our name, as well as our URL, from your user forums is a little cheap and heavy-handed, don't you think? Guess you don't want your users making informed decisions about you.

FairUse4WM strips Windows Media DRM!

Music – A new app called FairUse4WM can be used to strip Windows Media DRM 10 and 11 (i.e. PlaysForSure, but not WM DRM 9). We tried FairUse4WM and we can verify that it quickly and easily stripped the DRM from our Napster To Go tracks, and made them freely available to play on our Mac.
