Well, we're all about to wave 2006 a very fond goodbye, but that doesn't mean we can't take a moment to reflect on all of this year's best (and worst) devices -- the very tech plunder we'll be using well into 2007. Welcome to the third annual Engadget awards! We've set up 21 categories -- including most of our regular product categories, as well as best and worst gadget of 2006, and the most anticipated gadget of 2007 -- for you to cast your nominations. Here's how nominating works:

• Leave a comment as you normally would with what you're nominating in each category (remember, comments must be validated!).
• Don't include your reasons for nominating it or any of that stuff, just leaving the name is fine.
• Limit your nominations only to devices (or technologies) that were introduced and sold for the first time in 2006 (which means no concept devices or prototypes, although we will allow updated versions of previous products).
• Nominations only need be made once to be in the running, so make a quick scan to see if someone's already beat you to your suggestion (i.e., don't nominate anything more than once!). [Read more]

Blogger Alexander Kharlamov has some good advice for New Year's resolvers who want to stay resolute beyond January 1st. For example, break down your resolutions into small actions:

Separate your NYR list from your ToDo list. If your New Year's Resolution to lose weight includes an action to "buy gym membership", take it off your NYR list and put it on your ToDo list - and then, of course, execute it.

Much like the way GTD distinguishes between projects and next actions, goals can be achieved on any day of the year by just writing them up and breaking them down. Have a safe and happy New Year! See you on January 2nd. — Gina Trapani

Filed under: Household Who among us has not been thwarted by the microwave at some point -- constantly having to heat and reheat, trying to get our food at that perfect temperature. While some take the smart appliance approach, those who enjoy a low-tech aesthetic might be interested in The Added Touch's color changing spoons. Each one is heat-sensitive and adjusts hue when your food reaches 120 degrees F, indicating that it is ready. While being the only color changing spoon we have seen that didn't come in a cereal box, it might also be the only one in our dish rack that doesn't melt or get to sparking when left in the ol' nuker.

BOLD MOVES: THE FUTURE OF FORD A new documentary series. Be part of the transformation as it happens in real-timeOffice Depot Featured Gadget: Xbox 360 Platinum System Packs the power to bring games to life!

Filed under: Gaming, Peripherals You're fairly aware by now of how Team Xtender's XFPS was all set to shake up the FPS realm on the Xbox 360 by giving gamers the ability to use the undisputed king of controls (that'd be the keyboard / mouse tandem) -- or Sony's widely adored Dual Shock controller -- instead of Microsoft's own rendition, but according to Xbox360Fanboy's review, it's not quite the post-Christmas miracle we were all hoping for. While expectations were admittedly set rather high, it seems the unit simply underperforms where it mattered most, and excelled in a somewhat less important department. Using Gears of War, Halo 2, and Rainbow Six 3: Vegas Demo as tests, reviewers found the keyboard / mouse setup to be a breeze, but actual in-game results were not only poor, but relatively unacceptable.

Filed under: Gaming So there are video game console auctions, and then there are video game console auctions. This one would definitely fall into the latter category, boasting "Über 90 Telespielkonsolen" (over 90 video game consoles) and encompassing most of the glorious achievements and glorious failures of the video game industry. Sure fire winners include a Magnavox Odyssey, Virtual Boy, Neo Geo Pocket, Intellivision and Atari Lynx, with a NES clone thrown in there for good measure. In fact, the collection could probably be better defined by what's not included, which other than the exception of current-gen consoles is not a whole dang lot. Make sure you peep the read link for all bazillion consoles from their various angles, and if you've got a few grand laying around -- and can stomach the shipping cost from Hamburg -- why not give it a shot?

Filed under: Features, Home Entertainment Stephen Speicher contributes The Clicker, an opinion column on entertainment and technology: If you're like me, there is a very good chance that you say a weekly "Thank you" to the DVR gods. For me (and I'm sure for many other readers also) it's hard, nay impossible, to even imagine a world without the commercial-skipping-goodness that is TiVo. No longer does one feel compelled to rush home to see if Ross and Rachael will work things out and finally be together. In this oh-so-modern world we're free to see Ross and Rachael's present-day counterparts, Jim and Pam, awkwardly stumble through their feelings on OUR schedule. I don't mean to overstate the importance of DVRs. However, if one were to rank the DVR on a technological progress chart, it would most likely place somewhere between cavemen discovering fire and Jonas Salk's introduction of the Polio vaccine. It's just that good. So why, then, is TiVo killing television? Continue reading The Clicker: Is TiVo Killing Television? Permalink | Email this | Comments

The Lifehacker tech team tells me we're rolling out a mobile version of Lifehacker.com - but we need your help. We've tested it on the Blackberry, Sidekick and Windows Mobile, but surely we've missed a few dozen other handhelds. So if you regularly browse on your phone or PDA, hit up lifehacker.com and let us know how it goes in the comments (along with your phone model, operating system and browser details.) Thanks in advance for helping us iron out the details! — Gina Trapani

What are the entry-level behaviors to GTD that anyone can do to "get in the game"? First of all I should ...

Windows only: Freeware system tray utility reSizer provides keyboard shortcuts to help you resize and organize your open windows from the comfort of your keyboard.

Using your Windows key in conjunction with other keys, you can change your window's location, size, and transparency (seems like every system tray app throws in transparency these days), among a few other features. I've been using GridMove ever since we posted it in September for quick and easy window sizing, but if you're looking for a different flavor with a few more features, reSizer may be worth checking out. — Adam Pash

Filed under: Cellphones, Handhelds, Wireless If the X7500 "Athena" somehow managed to fail to attract your attention and you found the Vox, Libra, Love, and Cavailer positively forgettable, first verify that you have a pulse (because we really don't think that's normal) then check this out: HTC's 2007 arsenal is shaping up to be a doozy, with several previously-unknown models stepping into the spotlight. First up is the "Kaiser" (pictured top left), a follow-on to the Hermes that adds GPS -- a feature that's becoming increasingly common in high-end Pocket PCs. The "Elf" (top right) and "Panda" (not pictured) are midrange devices; they'll lack 3G radios, but the Panda's claim to fame will be a giant QVGA display that weighs in at well over 3 inches, while the Elf makes a name for itself with a fashion-friendly design and a touchpad in place of the typical d-pad. The "Wings" (bottom left) will ultimately take the torch from the Vox -- yes, the still-unreleased Vox -- by adding 3G, GPS, and a beefier processor. Finally, a new clamshell Smartphone will pick up where the Star Trek left off, rocking a GPS receiver and more wireless radios than its predecessor. If you can't find yourself an '07 HTC to your liking now, well... that's just crazy talk, but we know a Finnish outfit that might like your business.

Filed under: Displays We've got a bit of an awkward one here. Dell has apparently redesigned its 2007WFP 20.1-inch LCD display, but other than a single image on the product page, there's no other mention of the refresh. The changes aren't minor either, including a complete redesign of the display -- we're thinking for the worse, but we'll leave that up to you -- along with the addition of a 9 -in-2 card reader and a fancy new set of component plugs. Unfortunately, there's no real telling if this is just a case of the web team jumping the gun, and you'll end up getting the old version if you order right now. The updates do make sense in light of that cutthroat-priced E207WFP, but we just wish Dell would be a bit more forthcoming about the whole thing.

Joining the ranks of services like DropBoks and Localhostr, divShare offers unlimited online file storage and sharing. Sister-site Gizmodo says it best:

You might have heard of the divShare file sharing site, but would someone please explain to us how on earth a company like this can stay in business? You can upload unlimited files of any type, the files will stay there forever, and the company will serve unlimited downloads, too. There are no ads, no pop-ups, no spam, and it lets you create your own galleries if you're uploading pictures.

Yeah, how do these guys stay in business? Who knows, but divShare definitely comes in handy when you need to move or share large files. Just be careful about uploading sensitive and/or irreplaceable data, as you never know when the latest web bubble will burst. — Rick Broida

This is the last day at work for me this year. And I noticed a funny behaviour yesterday and this morning. Normally, I would be at work to well...work. But yesterday and also today I have the strong urge to tie all loose ends, to clean up, to start fresh in 2007, to...well...dare I say it...do a Weekly Review. So I was wondering, why is that? Because it is the end of the year ofcourse. But that's nothing than an agreement some old druids, wizards, emperors made a few centuries ago. In actuality, it is just the night from sunday to monday. I wondered about this since my daughter is born. To her, three months old, every day and night is the same. She doesn't care if dinner is served and whether it's turkey, beef or french fries. She wants milk. NOW! Christmas was a bit different for us to say the least :-) The same with coming sunday. Past years, we would visit friends, have a party, go out after midnight and have a few (too many) drinks. This year, we stay at home, just the three of us. And to Tess, sundaynight is like every other night. She needs to be fed at regular times, she needs her sleep and she needs us. It doesn't make a difference Where does this lead to? Look at your own behaviour. Why do you clean up at the end of the year? Why not treat every friday, or every sunday, like the last (work)day of the year?

A neat quote, seems time-appropriate as we approach the end of the new year, by Mark Twain: Twenty years from now ...

Filed under: Gaming Hard to imagine, but it's been over two years since Sony unleashed the PSP (at least in Japan), so it stands to reason that we're due for a little upgrade, right? Well, it's difficult to tell precisely what's going on due to the machine translation, but Samsung introduced its new N-Series line of 1.8-inch hard drives today and there's some indication that a 60GB version of the drive may end up in a future PSP. With any luck we may see a proper announcement at CES next month -- we definitely would not kick a 60GB PSP out of bed -- but for right now we're just trying to figure out exactly what Samsung announced today.

Filed under: Robots Q4 Technologies, a software company previously known for its gridmagic art package, is working on software to control Wowwee devices. Go-Robo, currently in beta, allows users to write commands for their Robosapien or similar device using either a graphical "building block" interface -- for novices -- or by employing GRIDscript, which is a proprietary programming language for advanced users. As it stands, the software allows you to control up six robots simultaneously via a user-supplied IR transmitter; hardly enough for you to wage that robotic uprising you've been planning, but it's a start. The full version is expected to be available by spring time next year. [Via Robot Gossip] Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

Filed under: Features Each week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On, a column about technology, multimedia, and digital entertainment: The "Ink Well" Award (and Portable Device of the Year) goes to the Sony Reader (pictured at right). With a slim, portable design, restrained feature set, breakthrough display and great battery life, the Reader was a bit of a sleeper from a company known for its audiovisual heritage. The product would benefit from better bitmap scaling, color, and a clip-on light like the "Itty Bitty" variety available for print books, but it represents the kind of smart design and well-integrated service that could have made the electronics giant a stronger competitor in the digital audio player market. The "Big Ideas in Small Sound" Award goes to the Altec Lansing InMotion 500, the slim battery-powered speaker dock optimized for the iPod nano, and which is compatible with both generations of the popular digital audio player. Altec Lansing's decision to use its own speaker technology for this paid off; it produces far superior sound to its closest competitor. Runners up include the Samsung K5, iriver clix, and the Samsung Helix/Pioneer Inno and the Coby MP-C341 Portable MP3 Boom Box.

Student and blogger Eston Bond describes in detail his methods for Getting Things Done with a Moleskine. Intrigued by the cult of GTD, Eston tried many forms of GTD with little success. That's when he decided to tweak GTD to his needs, the results of which he's documented in detail. We've got a new year ahead of us, and if you've tried GTD before with no success - but you really want to get organized for '07 - you might want to check out Eston's method to see if it sticks. — Adam Pash

Windows only: Freeware virtual desktop manager Dexpot provides you with several ways to manage and organize your Windows. Aside from providing an Exposé-like feature for individual desktops, Dexpot also lets you preview all desktops in a similar fashion to Leopard's Spaces. Another cool feature is the Desktop Manager tool (you can see it in the corner of the screenshot), which dynamically changes icons to display the active program on each desktop. But Dexpot's cool features don't stop there. Add to all of that mad configurability, like desktop rules for what programs get to live on which desktop, pre-defined transparency levels for certain apps/windows, and fully configurable hotkeys and screen edges, and Dexpot can give your favorite virtual desktop manager a run for it's money. Thanks Ralph and Tomasz! — Adam Pash

Google news/tips blog Google Operating System shows you how to add search capabilities to Google Reader.

The process requires you to export your subscription list, create your own search engine with Google Co-Op, then import the sub list. Pretty clever workaround, though you'll have to repeat the export/import process if you add or remove a feed. — Rick Broida

Filed under: Desktops, Home Entertainment, Laptops, Media PCs, Peripherals In a bid to become one of the first in what's sure to be a mile-long list, I-O Data is launching two new TV tuners that tout Windows Vista compatibility. Making sure that both laptop and desktop owners alike are satisfied, the firm has released both a PCI flavor (GV-MC/RX3) and an external edition (GV-MC/TZ), but both units handle essentially the same capturing and channeling duties, save for the RX3's handy coaxial input, of course. Both units feature S-Video / composite inputs, 10-bit DACs, noise reduction capabilities, and the assurance of functioning perfectly in Microsoft's forthcoming operating system. Optionally, the couch-dwellers out there can spring for the IR remote kit (¥4,230; $36), which provides your standard volume, channel, and playback controls, as well as a few "Media Center-centric" buttons to keep your PVR on track. Both tuners / converters are slated to hit shelves in "late January" to coincide with that looming OS release date, and while the RX3 will run you ¥12,500 ($105), the TZ will demand ¥14,600 ($123).

Quintura for Kids is a child- and school-friendly version of the Quintura See & Find search engine, which employs a cloud-like environment for conducting web searches. Search for music, for instance, and related topics (such as jazz, dance and instrument) appear in a "cloud" surrounding the original search term. Click any of those results to narrow the search. Related sites appear in a window in the bottom half of the screen. Although Quintura for Kids doesn't expressly promise protection from inappropriate material, it's powered by Yahoo Kids, so all search results should be G-rated. Don't confuse this with Quintura Search, a downloadable search client that employs the same kind of cloud-based structure. Quintura for Kids is entirely Web-based. — Rick Broida

A Google service without search capabilities is like ice cream without cream, so it's no wonder Google has rolled out search for its web-clipping service, Google Notebook. For those unfamiliar with it, Google Notebook lets you save and organize text, images and links. The newly added search bar lets you search not only your own notebooks, but also other users' public notebooks. This on top of the collaboration features Google added a while back. Personally, I'm still a Clipmarks fan, but if you haven't tried Google Notebook, it's definitely worth the time. — Rick Broida

Filed under: Home Entertainment Can it be? Is Hollywood's new DRM posterchild AACS (Advanced Access Content System, see more here) actually quite breakable? According to a post on our favoritest of forums (Doom9) by DRM hacker du jour muslix64, his new BackupHDDVD tool decrypts and dismantles AACS on a Windows PC. Just feed the small utility a crypto key (it comes bundled with keys for a few popular HD DVD titles, with the promise of more on the way), and it'll dump the video right off the disc onto your hard drive, supposedly playable in any HD DVD compatible player. If true, this would instantly become the DeCSS of high def optical (where you at, Jon?), as AACS is the copy protection scheme used not only by HD DVD, but by Blu-ray as well. Code and source posted in read link, let us know what you find! Note: We're working on testing this ourselves, we'll report back with our findings asap. [Thanks, Max and Adam] Update: Well, it definitely does something.

Windows only: Freeware tool Driver Collector finds the currently installed drivers for hardware currently installed on your PC, then copies the files to a pre-defined folder. If you've re-installed Windows before, you know how handy a tool like Driver Collector could be - whether you've long since lost your driver disks or you just don't want to go through the hassle of searching through all your install disks for the correct drivers. With tools like InstallPad for automating your software installations and Driver Collector for taking care of your hardware, re-installing Windows on your computer gets easier by the day. — Adam Pash

If you got yourself a new iPod this holiday season but instead of sweet tunes you're hearing clicks and whirs, this Metacafe video shows you how to boot your iPod into diagnostics mode so you can do a little troubleshooting before you take the little guy into the genius bar. Once you've got your iPod booted into diagnostics mode, check out this post for more detailed explanations of how to use each test. Of course, your iPod doesn't have to be broken before you boot up diagnostics mode - my iPod is running pretty well, but I still like to boot into diagnostics every now and again just to see that everything's running well. — Adam Pash

Windows only: Task manager MyLifeOrganized outlines your project list in a hierarchical view with subtasks. The free version of MyLifeOrganized organizes tasks and subtasks with priority. The pay-for Standard and Pro versions track contexts, goals, due dates and task time estimations as well. MyLifeOrganized's featureful versions ain't cheap, but its files sync to the PocketPC, Microsoft Outlook and mind-mapping software MindManager. The "lite" version is free (and believe me, it IS light), and the Standard and Pro editions (with or without the PocketPC versions) range from $30 to $79, Windows only. — Gina Trapani

Your 9-year-old installed adware masquerading as Tetris. You just deleted tomorrow's presentation from your hard drive. Your computer blue-screened and now it won't boot up. What to do? Chapter 10 of Lifehacker the book covers several free, DIY PC maintenance and recovery strategies that could save you more than a couple hundred bucks down at the computer repair shop. From the chapter intro:

Like a soldier cleans and polishes her rifle to keep it in working order, you need to care for your computer. While operating system manufacturers have tried to create the self-cleaning, maintenance-free computer, power users know they have to take PC upkeep into their own hands.

A list of chapter 10's hacks plus links to the web versions are all yours after the jump. Hack 81: Save Your PC from Malware (Windows, Medium) "The scourge of personal computing in recent years has been malware: malicious software that installs itself without the user's consent and undermines the computer's operation for nefarious purposes, from identity theft to aggressive advertising to common vandalism." Related posts:

• Ask Lifehacker: HELP! My computer's full of spyware!

Hack 82: Clean Up Your Startup (Windows, Medium) "When it comes to computer slowdowns that get worse over time, one of the biggest culprits is software installations that plant themselves in your PC's login sequence and start up automatically with your computer." Related posts:

• Manage your Mac and PC's startup
• Download of the Day: AutoRuns
• Download of the Day: CCleaner 1.34.407 (Windows)

Hack 83: Undo System Configuration Changes (Windows, Medium) "You installed unstable software or made a configuration change to your PC that broke things left and right. Don't worry - all is not lost." Related post:

• Roll back Windows with System Restore

Hack 84: Truly Delete Data from Your Hard Drive (Windows/Mac, Medium) "The only sure way to securely and permanently delete sensitive files--like a customer database, secret company documents, or personal photos you don't want the guy who buys your hard drive on Ebay to see--is to overwrite them several times with new data." Related posts:

• Download of the Day: Eraser
• Permanently delete data from your hard drive

Hack 85: Firewall Your Computer (Windows, Medium) "A home PC connected directly to the internet--especially with an always-on broadband connection like cable or DSL--is a prime target for malicious software attacks." Related posts:

• How to portscan your computer for security holes
• Download of the Day: ZoneAlarm

Hack 86: Free Up Hard Drive Space (Windows/Mac, Easy) "Hard drive space is cheap and plentiful, but you don't have to run out to buy a whole new drive the minute you start pushing your current disk's space limits." Related posts:

• Visualize your hard drive usage
• Download of the Day: CCleaner 1.34.407 (Windows)

Hack 87: Resurrect Deleted Files (Windows, Medium) "When you delete files from your computer's hard drive, the data is not actually erased. In reality, the space it occupies is marked as available for your operating system to overwrite with new data." Related posts:

• Download of the Day: Undelete Plus (Windows)
• Undelete files with File Scavenger

Hack 88: Recover Files from an Unbootable PC (Windows/Linux, Advanced) "Few moments in computing are as heartbreaking as when you turn on your trusty PC only to receive that bone-chilling message: Boot sector corrupt. Config.sys missing. Disk cannot be read." Related post:

All platforms (with a spreadsheet): The 2007 Compact Calendar is a birdseye view of the new year on one page with space for making notes on projects and vacations. Designer Dave Seah says:

I use it as to "doodle plan" project timelines during meetings with clients. Since the days are presented contiguously while retaining the days of the week, you get a more intuitive sense of how the days are flowing and can estimate accordingly.

Tape the Compact Calendar inside a notebook or project reference folder, or slice it up into quarters for easy-peasy date reference. The 2007 Compact Calendar is a free download, all platforms running Microsoft Excel or any spreadsheet program. — Gina Trapani

Filed under: Desktops, Laptops, Media PCs While Microsoft's Vista hasn't quite had time to make it out to us normal folk just yet, there's certainly versions floating around thanks to the November 30th corporate release, and we've already found a way to circumvent Redmond's most valiant efforts to make us activate the darned software. With the help of a few background apps, a little registry tweakin', and whole lot of deviousness, you can reportedly freeze the 30-day countdown timer within the operating system in order to prevent it from ever leaving the fully functional evaluation mode. Purportedly, the TimerStop Vista crack works "on all 32-bit x86 editions" including Ultimate and Premium, but the success rate in 64-bit (x64) environments is "likely to be low." Notable, the folks behind the crack suggest that Windows Updates will still be accessible, as will Microsoft's "value-added software downloads" typically only available to those who pass the WVGA validation process. So if you're looking to hit up a new OS in the coming weeks, or you've already got 'er up and running, be sure to peep the read link if you're interested in pulling this off -- but don't count on Microsoft to sleep on this one, holiday break or not.
