Netflix hitting internet-capable Sony BRAVIA sets today {Engadget}
Nov 14th 2009 5:25PM What about Blu-Ray?
This pretty much brings to pass the reality we all predicted when the format war dragged on forever. Physical media are dead, and now we're stuck with even more heavily compressed downloadable dogcrap that not only lookcs bad, but gives you no ownership of the content you BUY.
GJ, everybody.
Dell Mini 3i unboxed in China, capacitive stylus included {Engadget}
Nov 13th 2009 4:29PM "there all pretty boring!"
This coming from someone who can't spell "they're".
THEY + ARE = THEY'RE
Dell Mini 3i unboxed in China, capacitive stylus included {Engadget}
Nov 13th 2009 4:28PM What does it matter, when it has glaring blunders like this:
"Dell's also bundled a 3.5mm adapter for the mini-USB port"
How can they make this mistake after HTC was hammered over and over for not having headphone jacks, until they finally learned and added them?
Yeah, we all want to carry a wire around with our phones 100% of the time. Hey, did ya go on vacation and want to enjoy some tunes with the auxiliary jack in your rental car? NOPE, because you forget the stupid adapter. Or it broke. Or you need the USB port to charge the phone.
WTF.
HP's 11.6-inch Pavilion DM1 gets unboxed on video {Engadget}
Nov 13th 2009 4:21PM With that idiotic glossy screen, it'll be easier to see him coming behind you than what you're working on.
Sony's TransferJet-packin' Memory Stick Duo hits the FCC {Engadget}
Nov 13th 2009 4:10PM This doesn't even support that marginally useful function. This is short-range sharing, making it particularly pointless.
Seriously, who's going to use this? The one area we can see wireless transmission of stuff instead of storing it on memory cards is photography; there are a few DSLRs that can transmit pictures over 802.11. Of course, that's only useful if you're pretty much in the same room as the receiver, so who'd use it? I guess a pro photographer in his studio.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that essentially no pro photographers use Sony DSLRs. And none of the other manufacturers are dumb enough to use MemoryStick.
So this leaves a target market of whom, exactly?
Sony's TransferJet-packin' Memory Stick Duo hits the FCC {Engadget}
Nov 13th 2009 4:03PM Yes, this is pathetic. Sony need to wake up and realize that many people avoid their products BECAUSE OF MemoryStick.
Just when you thought they might be facing reality by adding SD support to a couple of products, they waste more time and resources on this sad boondoggle.
GIVE IT UP, SONY. Nobody wants this proprietary BS storage format.

Windows 7 bested by XP in netbook battery life tests {Engadget}
Nov 12th 2009 5:47AM "The search function in Windows 7 is a must have feature, so don't tell me people don't need it and should be switched off. XP doesn't come with built in Search"
Bullcrap on both counts. If you're not a moron, you don't have stuff scattered all over your computer. Keep your stuff organized in directories, and you know exactly where to start your search. Hell, Windows has been doing that automatically with its infantile "my" directories for more than a decade. How tough is it to search your user directory?
XP had perfectly good searching; in fact, there have been a lot of people complaining that they wish Windows 7's worked like XP's.
Windows 7 bested by XP in netbook battery life tests {Engadget}
Nov 12th 2009 5:40AM What advantages are those, exactly? And let's talk specifics; not regurgitated,vague, feel-good BS from a Microsoft press release.
Windows 7 bested by XP in netbook battery life tests {Engadget}
Nov 12th 2009 5:39AM Huh, let's think about that...
Nope. No it isn't. Not even close.
One's a command-line interface, and another is a full GUI.
