| How Do You Hide From the Internet? [Internet] Posted: 20 Nov 2009 09:00 PM PST
Vanish, a combination of a manhunt and an experiment, began at 5:38 pm on August 14, 2009 as a bold headline on Wired proclaimed “Author Evan Ratliff Is on the Lam. Locate Him and Win $5,000.” We would discover if someone could disappear in today’s world, or whether the electronic trails from ATM, email, and cell phone usage would give him away. Of course, in Evan’s case it wasn’t just a few concerned family members or police officers looking. It was any person on the Internet whose curiosity was aroused, either by the sheer challenge or by the bounty. Any and all traceable information would be shared over the next few weeks. Soon Evan’s phone records, credit card statements, IP dumps, interviews with friends, and anything that his hunters could dig up would be posted on Twitter, Facebook, and Wired’s own site. The end goal for the hunters was to locate Evan, photograph him after giving the codeword “fluke,” and then submitting that photo along with a codeword Evan would provide to Wired. And after 27 long days, someone did just that. Evan was caught. You can read the entire tale here. As you do, consider whether Evan made any genuine mistakes or whether his capture was simply inevitable. Is there a way to disappear, without giving up travel and technology? How would you do it?

| Windows 7 Sales Are Great (Just Like Vista Sales in 2007) [Flashback] Posted: 20 Nov 2009 08:20 PM PST
What does this all mean? To be honest, not all that much—mostly, it means that there are just more computers out there every year. But what’s kind of heartening, to me at least, is that it also means the general public is more and more tech-savvy: An OS release is a huge deal for nerds like us, but it’s starting to be a big deal for Joe Sixpack as well. Given that Windows 7-packaged hardware sales are actually lower than Vista-packaged hardware in this time period, it means that people are installing a new OS on existing computers, something that’s no big deal for us but could be intimidating for a tech neophyte. So this is a victory for nerds everywhere. Go us! [Microsoft via NYTimes Twitter]

| How would you change Motorola’s CLIQ? Posted: 20 Nov 2009 07:36 PM PST
 It’s a funny thing, the CLIQ. When it was introduced at a low-key press conference, the world gasped as the flagging handset maker finally made its first really bold move since the RAZR by ushering in its first-ever Android handset. Here we a few months later, and the only Android-based Moto that anyone’s talking about is the Droid. That said, we’re confident that a few of you T-Mobile loyalists are sticking to your guns (wouldn’t want to get caught up in that whole Verizon / AT&T scuffle, now would you?), but moreover, we’re certain that early CLIQ adopters have quite a bit to say now that the Droid is on the market. Is the CLIQ still living up to the hype? Are you still impressed with what it offers? What recommendations would you have for improving the next-generation? Feel free to spout off below, and hey, don’t try to hide any lingering bitterness — we won’t look down on you for it. How would you change Motorola’s CLIQ? originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:36:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

| My Dream Coffee Cup is Now Reality [USB] Posted: 20 Nov 2009 07:00 PM PST
Brando calls it the USB Whirl Wind Warmer Cup and it’s all too lovely. It keeps your beverage at a comfortable 40°C and stirs everything up at the push of a button. You can recharge the cup’s batteries using either an AC outlet or a USB port, so there’s no reason to be left without stirring power. It’s $37, and it may be my coffee cravings talking, but somehow that doesn’t seem too bad considering how much all my lost spoons add up to. [Brando via Red Ferret]
