Dell facing investor lawsuit over shady Intel kickbacks {Engadget}
Feb 3rd 2007 7:24PM Finally they got caught. It seemed so obvious to me that they were taking bribes. No surprise there, just glad it's going to blow up in Dell and Intel's faces.

Feb 2nd 2007 12:15AM Thank god the Bush administration is here to protect us from all these terrorists. Can't wait for the US government to implant an RFID chip in our asses so they can control the population a bit more. It's all for our own good of course, 'cause terrorists are bad, government is good. Thank you for protecting and serving.
Universal breaks silence announces two new titles {Engadget HD}
Jan 23rd 2007 10:02PM The Goonies ? Not even. More like Barney.
And why is it that so many BD fanboys have poor syntax and grammar when writing their drivel, or can't understand proper english ? Heck, english is not even my 1st language and I could teach them a thing or two... That's truly a sad state of affair concerning US education. No wonder the BDA's brainwashing works so well on people with poor education.
Blu-ray cracked too? {Engadget}
Jan 20th 2007 2:12PM Not one Blu-Ray title out there has BD+ implemented yet. I repeat : BD+ is on 0 (zero) BR discs for now. Get your facts straight instead of buying the BDA's claims at face value.
LG's BH100 hybrid Blu-ray / HD DVD player unable to be sold sans HDi? {Engadget}
Jan 14th 2007 6:43PM You all seem to forget the only reason why people owning a PS3 are currently buying movies is because there's not much else they can do with it right now. Other than maybe 3 or 4 games that are decent (not great), there are no good games on PS3 yet.
Let's see what happens to BR sales when a bunch of good games start showing up for PS3... It might not get as bad as UMDs for the PSP, but I doubt it will be pretty.
Also, all those that think BD is more protected than HD-DVD as far as getting cracked have no clue what they're talking about. BD and HD-DVD are only protected with AACS at this time, BD+ has not been implemented. As for Rom mark, the hackers couldn't care less about that, it's not there to prevent ripping and never will. Muslix64 has stated many times that the reason he started with HD-DVD (and not BD) is because he couldn't afford a BD burner. The software that allowed him to find the keys plays BD and HD-DVD, so whatever he was able to do with HD-DVD can be done right now with BD as well.
And to all those that think the format war is over, let's meet again next Christmas and see if you're going to spread the same BS by then.
Blu-ray Disc Association declares victory over HD DVD {Engadget}
Jan 8th 2007 7:23PM Sony's and the BDA's arrogance will end up flying in their face eventually. The one who laughs last is the one who laughs the most...
If you ask me, CES has been very positive for HD-DVD so far, with new hardware announced and the retailers' blessing for universal players. It's not going anywhere but up...
Silicon Optix Reon-VX powers 1080p in Toshiba's HD-XA2 HD DVD player {Engadget HD}
Jan 3rd 2007 9:18PM What The : Bwahahaha! You are such a BR fanboy you are pathetic. BR got it right the first time ? Bwahahaha! You are one hilarious guy. Yes you are so right, Sony can be trusted so much more than Toshiba when it comes to rootkits, exploding batteries and proprietary formats. Hope you enjoy your Betamax, UMDs, and your "true 1080p" on that Samsung state-of-the-art Blur-ray player.
French space agency to launch UFO archive {Engadget}
Jan 2nd 2007 11:05PM Keep being ignorant and good puppets to your extreme-right wing president and his cohorts that even make Hitler look good.
A majority of americans believe everything they see or hear in the media while all their freedoms are slowly taken away right before their eyes, you would think they would have a bit of common sense or could make their own judgement, instead they prefer to focus on finding martyrs (of course these necessarily need to be foreigners).
Here's news for you all french, muslim, bashers : every single country in the world thinks you're a racist, arrogant and moronic nation. The higher they go, the harder they fall... Just like the roman empire fell in due time, so will the USA.
Toshiba's HD-XA2 HD DVD player delayed until January {Engadget HD}
Dec 31st 2006 3:34PM $1000 MSRP is not the entry point price, you could always get the A2 for $500 MSRP...
XA-2 is looking better every day. The way I see it even if HD-DVD fails, I will have a great upconverting player for SD DVD and I will still be able to enjoy my collection of HD-DVDs.
I have both BD and HD-DVD currently and I totally prefer HD-DVD. They definitely deliver, which is not so with BD. HD-DVD has many more good transfers as a whole than BD, and the misinformation and arrogance that Sony and Fox have blabbered in the recent past make me wish they will eat their words.
