You're probably right. The thing is, the reason why a lot of laptops have chicklet keyboards these days probably ain't because Sony and Toshiba had them in the past.

Apple welcomes Windows 7 the only way it knows how, with a new commercial (video, updated) {Engadget}
Oct 22nd 2009 10:34PM No, the thing is those are the only Apple ads that get posted on Engadget as flame bait, and hence the only ones you notice.
As for all this talk about how this series is old and ineffective.... I'm just flabbergasted by the lack of logic and reason by these posters. It's simple; if the ads have become boring and ineffective, they wouldn't be running right now. The fact is, they are still effective, and very much so at that. That's why, after so many years, MS has finally decided to fire back with their own attack ads. So, old yes, ineffective no.
Do these same people complain about how Nike "just do it" ads are so old and ineffective, they should stop running them and move on to something else?
Personally, I've become pretty bored with these ads myself, but that's mostly because I've been seeing them repeatedly on sites like Engadget from the very beginning, over and over again. What you guys really need to understand is that the world is not like you (or I). You are nerds, you are not the norm, people do not think like you. Just because you don't like it does not mean that the world does not like it. Remember when you all hated the iPhone and thought that it would be a huge effin' flop?
Also, this one was funny, even for me. Ridiculous, meaningless, etc. etc., sure. But it's freakin' funny.

AT&T now allowing iPhone VoIP calls over 3G {Engadget}
Oct 6th 2009 8:41PM I doubt VoIP will use substantially more bandwidth than regular voice, and certainly will use less bandwidth than streaming video. If I'm talking via Skype, I'm not clogging the network any more than I would be if I were talking using regular voice.
Phase One 645DF medium format unveiled, its invasion set for Q4 2009 {Engadget}
Sep 29th 2009 7:28AM Don't forget the digital back, Ross. The prices you list don't include the back. Include the back and you're looking at a 20K system. No thanks. I'll wait for the P645D (fingers crossed that it'll hit south of 10K).

Apple enlists David Puddy to take on the Laptop Hunters {Engadget}
Aug 24th 2009 11:05PM First of all, the answer would be no; look at 99% of ads out there. They all lie. Second of all, even if this security via obscurity hypothesis were true (which is debatable), it, at least at this point, does not negate the fact that there has not been a single virus out in the wild for Macs in over a decade, while viruses for Windows, yes, even for Vista, are as common today as ever (although I will admit, Vista is much less susceptible to them than prior Win OSes). Which makes Apple's claim TRUE.
