Jul 27th 2009 10:41AM Isn't a Nikon D2X a bit...overkill? Why such a beefy/expensive camera?

Blu-ray's Managed Copy explained, a Movie Jukebox is possible {Engadget HD}
Jun 20th 2009 9:22PM @Jake: this is why non-lawyers shouldn't hand out advice on the Internet.
It is NOT legal to make a copy for backup purposes or format shifting if the content is encrypted. Go read the DMCA. Yes, it does seem to conflict with fair use, but it hasn't been struck down by any court.
I agree that the whole idea of paying for managed copy is stupid, and I have no interest, but you should be aware that using AnyDVD or some other method to decrypt/rip your Blu-Ray (or DVD, or...) is a violation of the DMCA and against the law.
Michael Bay strikes again, pulls out Samsung cellphone at LG promo event {Engadget Mobile}
Apr 6th 2009 2:38PM Hardly surprising. This was the guy who ranted that he wouldn't do Transformers II with Paramount because they dropped Blu-Ray, then suddenly changed his mind after meeting with Paramount execs.
Not my first choice to be a spokesperson for anything.

AMD's ATI All-in-Wonder HD gets reviewed {Engadget}
Aug 19th 2008 6:29PM Lindsaypace was asking about digital *cable*. And the answer is...you can get anything that's unencrypted, which isn't much.
Second, only HD *local* channels are required to be unecrypted -- all the other HD channels are invariably encrypted.
Third, you pretty much can't make a home-brew PVR for DirecTV because you can't buy a DirecTV tuner card.
AT&T gearing up for Total Home DVR rollout? {Engadget HD}
Aug 15th 2008 5:27PM Verizon isn't even IPTV (for the most part). There's very little that is similar between the two.
The version number is a coincidence.
And yes, the WHDVR is supposed to work on your existing gear; no new hardware involved.
