Jun 27th 2008 11:57PM Gotta give love to the Xbox 360 as far as favorite MS product
The Bill Day giveaway (part 4) - Windows Vista Ultimate {Engadget}
Jun 27th 2008 11:56PM Believe it or not, I actually think Vista's not all that bad, once you get used to it.

Jun 27th 2008 2:55PM My favorite MS product is either my X360 or my Zune 80
DRM strikes again, PC users still wait for next-gen audio {Engadget HD}
Apr 12th 2008 12:54AM It's probably a problem in both Windows software and the sound card hardware. The Windows problem is fixable by Windows Update, yes, but I think the sound card needs some equivalent of HDCP for the audio. To my knowledge, no current sound card has this chip. Think of the whole HDCP fiasco with the video cards from a while back. I think it's like that, but for sound cards.

PS3 firmware v2.30 walkthrough: DTS-HD MA support / new PS Store included {Engadget}
Apr 10th 2008 3:50PM Yeah, the ability to charge the controllers while the system is off would be nice, especially since the system is only in standby and not actually off, meaning there is still a small electric current running through it. Why not redirect some of that toward the usb ports to charge the controllers? I know it would likely charge slower (assuming they didn't make the system draw any more power in standby for this), but at least for the overnight charging this would be useful!

Apr 10th 2008 3:45PM MKV is not gonna be there. Trust me. It's too obscure a format for a company like Sony to push into this update. Especially when the only place I've actually seen it used is on Bittorrent sites, and I'm pretty sure Sony's not too hot on supporting a format that's primary usage seems to be in pirated downloads.
Besides, I think DTS-MA and the new store are big enough updates for this go round.

Apr 10th 2008 12:31PM Yeah, those who discount it due to no DTS-HD will have to shut up now....wait...a lot of them will now switch to the fact that the PS3 can't bitstream DTS-HD. Some people will NEVER be satisfied, like those who want mkv support on everything.
Seriously guys...mkv? No normal person uses this! Hell, I'm somewhat of a computer-savvy person and I didn't even know what this was until 2 weeks ago, and now I just convert anything encoded in this obscure file format to something familiar like avi or wmv (so I can stream to my X360 AND PS3). Be happy we've even gotten DivX support!
PPV movies get 24-hour clock on DirecTV {Engadget HD}
Apr 8th 2008 8:41PM Wrestling PPVs already do this. When I ordered Wrestlemania last week (3/30), and it expired on (4/1). Irritating, to say the least, as Wrestlemania cost over $60 for the HD broadcast!
Sprint gets free MySpace Mobile; everyone else, too {Engadget Mobile}
Mar 26th 2008 10:46AM Yeah, it makes sense Sprint would post this to their portal. They need anything they can get to keep the younger crowd (or anyone for that matter) these days.
