iPhone review bonus: one liners {Engadget}
Jul 3rd 2007 3:24PM Only one of my thumbs is particularly large -- long story -- but I'll just never be convinced that touchscreens can be more efficient for input than buttons. 90% accuracy is pretty poor compared to the almost flawless typing I can perform on my 8525's keyboard. And don't even get me started about the iPhone's refusal to reformat web pages in column view; the whole zooming and side scrolling thing does not work well on a small screen...
WIRED journo won't do email interviews--ironic. {The Jason Calacanis Weblog}
Apr 24th 2007 9:10PM Geez Chris, I can see directing people towards Vogelstein's account which includes the email thread in question, but why would you want anyone reading that sharp-tongued piece of drivel written -- very unprofessionally -- by Dylan Tweney? If anything, you should let people know when and if Mr. Tweney posts an apology.
British warships get iPod docks, surround sound {Engadget}
Feb 2nd 2006 2:31PM Let me just say that I intended this to be a lighthearted post, and certainly not a dig against military personnel, the Royal Navy specifically, or Brits in general. I have a lot of respect and admiration for those people who protect democracy, and certainly agree with the above commenters who rightly argue that they deserve some entertainment during extended periods abroad. Plus, I love spending time in the UK.
That being said, the post was meant to imply that perhaps iPod docks and 5.1 are a bit much- would not aux jacks and stereo speakers suffice?
Again, please don't take this (perhaps poor) attempt at humor as indicative of my personal feelings regarding the military, because it is not.

Sprint Treo 700w by end of February? {Engadget}
Jan 31st 2006 10:39PM Geez, guys, I only had five minutes to mock it up. If I was any good at image manipulation, I'd be a graphic designer. Anyone that can improve on my admitedly half-ass job is welcome to submit their pic for replacement.
Best,

Use your cellphone as a movie ticket {Engadget}
Jan 19th 2006 5:46PM Chuck-
99% of my humor is a take on the conventional wisdom (i.e. "T-mobile has the best prices but the worst coverage")and not my personal opinion.
That being said, I hear more complaints about T-Mobile coverage from friends in all parts of the country than I do about any other carrier.

Maglev elevators to scare us all by 2008 {Engadget}
Jan 18th 2006 12:08AM To save other commenters the time, I was joking about the risks of falling; I'm sure these elevators have plenty of safety features built in.
In the future I will take pains to clearly indicate which passages contain sarcasm/dry humor.

Should we run these Amp'D ads or not? {The Jason Calacanis Weblog}
Jan 13th 2006 4:05PM As we all know, I'm certainly not the prudish type; that being said, children 13-and-under read Engadget, and if I were a parent I wouldn't want my kid looking at a man taking a photograph of his own genitals. Evan
