EFi-X USA decides to tempt Apple's lawyers, will start shipping OS X-capable machines {Engadget}
Dec 12th 2008 6:18PM To all the morons that can't get the difference between Apple and Microsoft through their thick skulls:
"I want to build my own DVR box and hack it to run TiVo software." Sorry, you can't do that. Go buy a friggin' TiVo.
"I want to build my own game console and hack it to run PS3 software." Sorry, you can't do that. Go buy a friggin' PS3.
"I want to build my own PC and hack it to run OS X." Sorry, you can't do that. Go buy a friggin' Apple.
"I want to build my own PC and load Windows." Uhhh, okay.
Does anyone see why, or is everyone else idiots? MICROSOFT DOESN'T MAKE PCs!!! MICROSOFT IS A SOFTWARE COMPANY!!! TiVo, Sony, and Apple all have the right to protect against unauthorized use of their software, which was designed exclusively to work in conjuction with their bread and butter, their HARDWARE. Use on anything other than their own hardware hurts their bottom line, which gives them every right to pursue companies which enable users to circumvent their EULA.
Ask Engadget HD: Is switching from cable to satellite worth it? {Engadget HD}
Apr 30th 2008 1:45PM If you don't mind the dish on your house, it's definitely worth it... More HD channels, plus absolutely zero analog stuff like you get with even digital cable (don't let the cable company fool you). If all the rooms in your house are wired already, then no worries about fishing new wires--the dish feed can use existing cable. The phone carriers often offer their own bundle package to compete with the cable cos. For instance AT&T here in the Southeast US can bundle Dish network, DSL internet, home phone, long distance, and wireless on one bill at a significant discount, plus they pay significant rebates when switching. I got over $250 back when I switched.
Apple looses minor Apple TV 2.0.1 update {Engadget HD}
Mar 31st 2008 2:46PM Your screenshot is highlighting the wrong area... My Movies (meaning your own DVD rips and/or iTunes purchases) are now sort-able by genre... something we've all been requesting ever since we bought our AppleTVs last year. The button you highlight in your graphic has been there since 2.0.
Scene selection on Blu-ray {Engadget HD}
Mar 17th 2008 12:29PM There's just one problem with that, Ben... good design principles dictate that the authors not clutter up the interface with too much to view at the same time. While it may be convenient to have 50 scenes on the screen at one time, it's not so easy on the eyes.
