Nov 10th 2009 10:43PM Okay, I've seen a lot about this one breaking Atom support, but why does nobody seem to be picking up that this update seems to fix the data deletion bug?

Deutsche Telekom eyeing Sprint Nextel for acquisition? {Engadget}
Sep 13th 2009 8:24PM Doesn't this rumor keep coming up every year? I swear this is the 4th time I've heard this since the Sprint/Nextel merger.
Apple Quietly Admits Macs Get Viruses {Switched.com}
Sep 1st 2009 11:40PM @Nick
You and I know that those aren't "technically" viruses, but you know what all those are to people who don't know better (and those who the Mac "no viruses" advertising appeals to)? Viruses. Yeah, people who don't know better lump all that under virus. So to an average user, if a system can get a trojan (our term), it can get a virus (their interpretation).
The next Batman flick could be all-IMAX {Engadget HD}
Aug 27th 2009 11:41AM I understand the concern for the director's intent, but directors can film with more than one aspect ratio in mind. TV shows do it all the time, and it has been done in movies too. One example that comes to mind is Air Force One. From what I read, the director filmed it so that it would look fine in either 4:3 or 16:9, which was more important then because not many people had 16:9 TVs when the movie first came out. Granted, this often makes it so things outside certain areas of the screen are reserved for unimportant portions of the image, but the point is that nothing important is ever cut off or anything like that. Nolan likely has this in mind (if this rumor is indeed true), so people who don't want to spring for IMAX tickets will see it in a form that looks fine, the IMAX fans will get something special, and the Blu-Ray version will look amazing (the IMAX scenes on the Blu of TDK look FAR clearer than the others).

When it gets converted to 35mm, it'll likely be converted to a more traditional aspect ratio, just like the IMAX scenes in The Dark Knight were.

Aug 26th 2009 2:04PM @Platinum_Skeet, scyber, and any others this may concern:
The implication here is not that the movie would be exclusive to IMAX, but that it would be filmed in IMAX, much like the entire opening of The Dark Knight was. This would then be converted to 35mm for all the non-IMAX screens to show it. There are nowhere near enough IMAX screens for this to forgo 35mm.
DirecTV adds "dual live buffers" to its HD DVR {Engadget HD}
Aug 26th 2009 11:29AM So...is this like on the my old DirecTV Tivo where I could select each tuner individually and pause/rewind each one independent? Cause that was a feature I missed when I moved up to a HR21
Ask Engadget: Best 20- to 24-inch LCD monitor with HDMI / DVI? {Engadget}
Aug 6th 2009 10:21PM I've got this monitor as well. Great for gaming (Crysis looks amazing on this thing at 1080p), great for general use, and much cheaper than most competition. The audio is about as well as can be expected from a monitor.
