Nov 5th 2009 4:15PM If you had any idea what you were talking about you wouldn't comment on this long established requirement for some Exchange Servers on some corporate networks for most if not all carriers. $45 (not $50) for Enterprise Activation, which is a requirement on some corporate Exchange Servers. Its up to your IT department and their implementation of Exchange. Thats just the way it is for ALL smartphones for some companies regardless of carrier. Nothing new.
PS3 3.0 / 3.01 firmware update making Blu-ray drive unusable? {Engadget HD}
Sep 28th 2009 6:44PM I actually just purchased 2 PS3 Slims and BOTH would freeze on Drake's Fortune w/3.0. My roomate had an older model that wasn't updated so I copied my game progress to his console via a thumbdrive and played past the freezing point and then started playing on the slim and it froze again later after awhile... I can't remember if I tried that workaround once more to get past the 2nd freeze point but its playing now?? I actually haven't tried a BD but now I have to. I'm afraid to update to 3.01...

Verizon Hub "landline slayer" officially unveiled {Engadget}
Jan 23rd 2009 1:30PM Um, this looks pretty sweet but for $35 a month, how exactly would you consider this eliminating your land line? I'm pretty sure I can get a land line for less than $35 a month...
Many first-time HDTV buyers bypassing the HDTV service {Engadget HD}
Nov 25th 2008 5:00PM Enjoy it while it lasts... TimeWarnerCable just killed that for me! I'm so pissed I want to cancel EVERYTHING!!! I have an HD DVR in my livingroom and both my roomy and myself have HDTVs in our bedrooms. Up until a week ago I was enjoying my local channels in HD and then *poof* nothing but SDTV. I called customer "service" and they said my TV was able to "decode their signal" even though it shouldn't have been able to. He said that since I'm on their network I have to have a box and pay a fee to see anything in HD. I'm like "I'm F#@king talking about OTA tv! It's FREE!!!". His response "not if you're on our network." Go F#@k yourself TWC!!!
And if this posts twice sorry...

Ask Engadget HD: Which cable / interconnect brand should I rely on? {Engadget HD}
Sep 24th 2008 4:49PM On the topic of digital is digital is digital... Can someone explain to me how/why some HDMI ports don't accept a pc input? I've never heard of this. I have the Panasonic TH-50pz80u (which has an incredible picture for $1600!!) that wont allow me to plug in my pc using either of the 2 rear HDMI ports but the one in the front does work (using DVI to HDMI cable). Panasonic Customer Service confirmed that it's not designed to allow for a PC connection but couldn't tell me why exactly. I could actually trick the rear HDMI ports into working but if I turned the TV off it would become non-responsive until I unplug it for a minute or two.
Ask Engadget: Best digiframe / alarm clock combo? {Engadget}
Aug 1st 2008 1:24PM Agreed, love the Scheduled Task! Although to simplify it you can just create a scheduled task that points directly to an mp3 or playlist file. I set one up for each day of the week with a different song. You can make this coincide with wake on alarm settings in your BIOS so you don't always have to leave your computer on overnight. Just set it to wake up a few minutes before the scheduled task runs. Scheduled task has a checkbox to turn your computer on but it didn't work for me so I just changed my BIOS settings...
