How long does it take to change the channel? About 1.9 seconds {Engadget HD}
Oct 17th 2008 3:07PM U-Verse is powered by Microsoft's Mediaroom technology, the winner in the "channel off". Apparently they can do tv fast but not operating systems...
AT&T gearing up for Total Home DVR rollout? {Engadget HD}
Aug 15th 2008 4:49PM Microsoft is the software "house" providing AT&T with U-Verse software (server and client), and from what I've heard Verizon is NOT using Microsoft. That makes it a conicidence.
PPV movies get 24-hour clock on DirecTV {Engadget HD}
Apr 8th 2008 2:27PM Are the studios psychotic? Do they know how hard it is for parents of a young child to be able to get an entire movie watched in one sitting? Or anyone with a remotely busy schedule?
What exactly do they get from this ridiculous and now ubiquitous 24 hour limitation? What possible benefit are they deriving that they could not with a more reasonable 48 or even 30 hour limit?
FCC gives in to Dish and DirecTV, so no "carry one, carry all in HD" policy {Engadget HD}
Mar 21st 2008 3:18PM How is it that a field with so much competition can be so highly regulated? Seriously, when you figure in all the legitimate sources of HD (cable, satellite, IPTV, OTA, various download sources, various physical media) AND all of the illegitimate downloading available this is a crowded and competitive field. Why can't the FCC simply let annoyed customers drop the service if it doesn't carry the channels they need?
GDC08: The eight best stories in gaming {Joystiq}

Sizing up Apple TV (take 2)'s HD {Engadget HD}
Feb 13th 2008 6:56PM Seriously, if any of these download services want to stand a chance, they have GOT to move beyond this 24 hour time limit.
Don't any of them have children? Do they have any idea how hard it can be to find the time to watch a 2-3 hour movie within 24 hours? And if you don't make it in time, too bad for you! What is the POINT of that?
In the meantime, I'm BD/HD-DVD (yes I've got both) all the way. Even a rental (through BBO or Netflix) you can keep and watch when you get a chance, not this "hurry up and watch!" nonsense.
The WGA strike is over, when are our favorite TV shows returning? {Engadget HD}
Feb 13th 2008 4:12PM Are you kidding? Fox would have cancelled it after the second episode!
Ron Paul's War {Political Machine Blog}
Dec 26th 2007 2:39PM Geeze, try watching the video, folks!
He objects first to the war because it was a power grab by the federal government. He brings up slavery as an issue because Tim Russert asserted that we'd still have slavery if the war hadn't been fought.
Try not to distort and lie about things that you include embeded videos for.
Creative delisting from NASDAQ, cites 'burdensome' regulations {Engadget}
Jun 14th 2007 11:11AM Sarbanes Oxley strikes again. And to all of you who say "Sarbanes what?", you're part of the problem in this country.
Church of England demands donation for violent PS3 title {Engadget}
Jun 12th 2007 11:09AM Well, considering the Anglican church basically just stole the Cathedral from the Catholics, they're one to talk. Maybe Sony can donate the money to the Catholics instead.
