Wii Internet Channel free from now on, the way it should be {Engadget}
Sep 1st 2009 9:27PM I found the rendering to be plenty quick. I doubt firefox would be any quicker.
Wii Internet Channel free from now on, the way it should be {Engadget}
Sep 1st 2009 9:26PM gosh, this is a nice gesture but I'm sure glad I never bothered spending $5 on it. The browser itself is really quite nice but it's ridiculously constrained running at 480p, especially on a big TV. It would help if the menu bar on the bottom would autohide or something so you could make more use of those precious 480 lines of rez. It would be the bomb if the Wii did 1080p....
Unfortunately, Youtube XL looked pretty crappy, too. It doesn't need to look that crappy.
Palm webOS system upgrades mandatory; hacking scene forbidden from tethering {Engadget}
Jun 16th 2009 11:45AM is it just my area or are Pres hard to find everywhere? I didn't think there would be a huge surge of demand so I didn't rush to the stores to check it out but I've been looking around for one for the past week or so and I can't find them in stock anywhere (I've called or checked every best buy, sprint store, and radio shack in my area). I thought I had read that Palm promised a steady stream of deliveries but nobody seems to know when they'll get replenished stock.
Sony warns of $2.9 billion annual loss, reveals restructuring plan {Joystiq}
Jan 22nd 2009 9:25AM The problem with Sony is that they USED to hold an edge in terms of quality and technology over their less expensive rivals, which justified their price premium. Now that's no longer true, and it hasn't been for the better part of two DECADES. They've been operating on smug arrogance for far too long and now the crows are coming home to roost.
The PS3's problem isn't all marketing or superbowl ads. It's just not a standout product. Its strengths lie in areas that are of little importance to the marketplace or where it is matched by its less expensive rivals. In the areas that ARE truly important to the market, the PS3 is matched or surpassed by its rivals. For the price premium, it should offer SOMETHING tangible that makes it truly stand out.
JVC's GY-HM100 / GY-HM700 ProHD camcorders capture QuickTime straight to SDHC {Engadget HD}
Jan 9th 2009 12:09AM Quicktime sucks. I have a Canon 5d Mk 2 and a Mac and editing the video the 5dmk2 spits out is like pulling teeth. Somebody at Apple or Canon needs to fix the colorspace issues so one needn't jump through flaming hoops and intermediate codecs to simply get the proper video into your timeline of choice. Even if you edit with Final Cut Pro, the colorspace is screwed up. It's screwed up on Windows too. Seriously, screw Quicktime. It's a steaming bag of hurt.
Hopefully JVC figures out how to work around the limitations.
Rendered Speculation: 2010 Hyundai Sonata looks Geni-good {Autoblog}
Dec 19th 2008 10:24AM it's interesting how autoblog never seems to properly cite the proper source of these news items.

Obama billed $44.5K for in-game advertising {Joystiq}
Oct 30th 2008 4:28PM wow, $44.5k seems like a tiny amount for (I'm assuming) such a large number of impressions, particularly considering all the bonus publicity it has generated...
Is Blu-ray destined to become a "videophile niche?" {Engadget HD}
Oct 28th 2008 4:50PM yes, indeed.
VIDEO: 2010 Acura NSX, the 'Ring, enough said {Autoblog}
Jun 20th 2008 4:28PM you call the LF-A and GT-R "inspired"?! LOL. They're about as inspiring as riding mowers. All these front-engined ill-proportioned beasts will be lumped into the same bin.
Rumor: MS's chip design team caused RROD fiasco {Joystiq Xbox}
Jun 11th 2008 10:28AM This is one of the most visible examples of Microsoft's general climate of corporate arrogance - it's mystifying that it continues because they have a track record that's pockmarked with many similar examples of failure that can be directly attributed to their baseless arrogance.
I find it amazing that the 360 came together to be such a good product despite these handicaps. Just imagine how much more successful it could have been if a few key decisions were made differently.
