DirecTV's HR23-700 HD DVR gets an early look {Engadget HD}
Nov 4th 2008 3:54PM I agree - I like the additional HD space, but why don't they just make dual buffered tuners? It would put most of the Tivo vs. DirecTV DVR arguments to rest.
does Tivo have a patent on that or something?
Joystiq finds Rock Band 2 instruments really are quieter {Engadget}
Sep 15th 2008 6:47PM I'm surprised that no one is really talking about the un-release of Rush Moving Pictures - the only reason I was going to dust off this game to begin with. It's 3 weeks since they un-released it! No mention of it anywhere - somebody oughta make a stink about it!
Universal's Blu-ray audio plans revealed, DTS-HD Master Audio included {Engadget HD}
May 1st 2008 3:57PM I don't get it Mr.E -
Since my receiver does NOT have HDMI inputs, the only way I can hear these lossless codecs is if the blu-ray player outputs 5.1 or 7.1 analog out (bitstream). PS3 does not, so I don't understand your statement about optical...
Amazon Kindle is back in stock {Engadget}
Apr 21st 2008 6:49PM Funny how REAL USERS of the Kindle all tend to love it, and the negative comments come from people that have seen a little picture of one on their f*ckin PC.
I got one in November, and love it. I use it everyday, even in direct sunlight (whoever that loser was who complained about that).
Trump's Las Vegas Hotel / Tower gets Cox HDTV, LG LCDs {Engadget HD}
Apr 17th 2008 4:47PM Problem is, that the Donald's hotel does NOT have a casino, so you have to go elsewhere for slots. Why would I stay in a fancy hotel, and have to cab it to gamble?
Failure written all over it - a Vegas cabbie told me recently that he's been fighting for a license and has failed.

Jeff Bezos posts Kindle apology on Amazon's front page {Engadget}
Mar 20th 2008 6:48PM OMG will people who have never owned a Kindle, nor known anyone who does, stop bashing something they know nothing about!
Yeah, you can read the specs and say you hate it (like Sayad Mohammed or whatever) - isn't that the epitome of stupidity? What ignorance!
I've had a Kindle since November - there is a reason they've sold out - people who have played with it, used it, or know someone who has one...just love it.
I read all the time, tons of books. Kindle solved 2 of my biggest headaches - I would always finish a book, and have to wait til I went to the library, ordered online, or whatever - I hated waiting a few days with nothing to read. Kindle gives you the book you want instantly - or the newspaper, or magazine.
I also read a TON of historical fiction, and would constantly stop reading, get out of bed and go downstairs to login and look up more on a fact, or map, or something I wanted to know more about - now I just surf wikipedia instantly on the Kindle for my answer, or click on the word I want defined.
Once you use it for a book - you'll never go back - it becomes extememly comfortable, reading one-handed. Almost impossible to do with other material unless you fold it up.
Go to the Amazon site and read the reviews - the people that love it have tried it. The people, like the idiots here, that hate it have never even seen one; let alone read a book on one.
Xbox 360 Fall Dashboard Update due next week, Microsoft tells all {Engadget}
Nov 30th 2007 4:36PM Question - is there a difference between downloading the "Xbox Original" Halo, and sticking the darn old Halo disk into the 360 (which I've got on a shelf somewhere)?
thanks
DirecTV 11 to launch this December? {Engadget HD}
Jul 17th 2007 4:57PM *Double sigh* What does it matter? All these potential new channels, and I won't be getting most of them because I refuse to give up my Tivo HR10-250 for a crappy Directv receiver.
WeaKnees now offering upgraded HR20s {Engadget HD}
Jul 12th 2007 4:29PM I've been real hesitant about the H20 due to the no-dual live buffers, and the non-Tivo interface. One question for you users - can you do the 30-second skip, ala HR10-250?
Any other gotchas?
Thanks
