Ron Bloom, Obama's chief auto advisor to become manufacturing czar? {Autoblog}
Sep 7th 2009 12:20PM By your comment you are implying that anyone that doesn't like or agree with the president is what? A racist? Give me a break. First of all the man is half white and half black. This is the 21st century, the only thing holding our society back is over sensitive babies crying racism when we are perfectly capable of judging the man or woman in front of them on their character and not their skin color. Once you can get past that hang up and honestly evaluate what he and his unelected, unconfirmed by congress, czars are trying to do to OUR country you will see this is not what the founding fathers had in mind when they signed the constitution. The simple fact is these czars are accountable to no one but this president and that is not how our system works, if he believes in them so much let them be confirmed by congress. Shouldn't be too difficult considering democrats control both houses of congress should it? The ability to question our elected leaders is what makes our country great.
Windows 7 install roundup {Engadget}
Jan 20th 2009 11:27AM I have a Santa Rosa Macbook Pro and I have been running Windows 7 as my primary OS for a few weeks now. Everything works as good or better than XP/Vista. Very fast and responsive. All of my devices are working perfectly, including iSight and Sound, just installed the latest Boot Camp drivers directly from my leopard CD.

Sony blocks entire Netflix movie library from streaming to the Xbox 360 [update] {Joystiq Xbox}
Nov 19th 2008 9:13AM I have both consoles. I rarely use my PS3 except for Blurays anymore. The streaming on the PS3 is a joke compared to the X360. For being a Divx certified device it plays probably 40-50% of the content that my X360 will. I also get numerous DNLA errors when just browsing my content, a problem I never have on my X360. I agree with the poster before me, my PS3 is shite, wish i had bought a stand alone BD player from Samsung or LG instead.
Dell's Latitude E6400 reviewed: lovely, save for minor annoyances {Engadget}
Oct 20th 2008 9:46PM I received my e6400 last week and have been extremely pleased with the machine. So far all of my impressions of the machine are very good. The LED backlit screen is a welcome change from the D820/830's of previous years. If you have ever used one of those machines you will know how dim the display can be, this is not the case with the e6400. I have found the brightest setting for the display is almost too bright to be comfortable and I normally run at 90% or so. Everything is very crisp and easy to use for long periods of time with no noticable eye strain. The build quality seems very solid thus far, no flexing or creeks, even when you try to torque it. I have always been a trackpoint user and that was a major factor in my choosing this machine. The trackpoint is excellent, I have not noticed any issues with it and it is far more comfortable to use than the Lenovo t61 and outgoing D830. The backlit keyboard is also excellent, I don't know how I got any work at home done before. I find myself working odd hours and when you get a call late at night and need to type in your VPN token this is definately an awesome feature. The last thing is the battery life, I get over 7 hours of normal use on just the 9 cell battery with minor power options tuning. I do use the dell control point software to manage some of the power settings and would say they are less cludgy then the Lenovo tools i have used in the past. I would highly recommend to anyone considering this as a business laptop.
Toshiba pushes firmware 3.0 update to first-gen HD DVD players {Engadget HD}
May 8th 2008 3:19PM Give me a break lets count the full features HD DVD launched with. PiP, Check. Internet Connectivity, Check. Finalize Spec, Check. Other than the PS3 I can not think of any BD player to future proof. And now look at the mess we are in, without HD-DVD providing compitition Bluray prices have gone up, market share for HD (all HD including BD) has gone down compared to DVD. I'll take my HD-DVD player anyday over my PS3, load times were faster on my 360 Add-on anyways compared to PS3. Half baked indeed...
Circuit City comes through after trashing man's Honda Civic {Engadget}
Apr 15th 2008 7:06PM You'd think with a super creative name like VTECnical he'd be able to install a stereo in his own car... or he could be like every other ricer tard out there and the extent of his TECnical ability stops at bolting on rediculous wings and applying yellow stickers (they are the fastest color afterall).
5 PS3 predictions for 2008 {Joystiq Playstation}
Jan 1st 2008 10:05PM I must say by some of the comments in this thread PS3fanboys can be very ill informed.
Vincent I believe you are talking about CES and that is in January, next week. Also one week of hardware sales hardly equates to a trend.
As far as Warner going Bluray exclusive, give me a break. There is a rumor circulating on Bluray.com that a meeting took place last week between toshiba, warner, universal, and microsoft. It is rumored they are announcing something big at CES. They are already a confirmed presenter at the HD DVD presentation. I think your new color and price drop predictions are true enough though, the rest are pretty damn hopeful imho.
Come get your Halo 3 Legendary Edition for $109 {Joystiq Xbox}
Oct 15th 2007 3:46PM The reason these are up for the deal of the day is more than likely canceled orders.
I had pre-ordered mine from Amazon back in July and they claimed it would ship on the 25th and arrive on the 26th. Right up until the end of the day on the 25th they still did not change anything on their site for my order so I emailed them and got some long BS email saying they were back ordered, contrary to what my order status said on their site. I am sure I am not the only person this happened to and now they are stuck with all the canceled orders. Screw Amazon.
