AT&T gets with the program, offers unlimited calling to 'A-List' numbers {Engadget}
Sep 9th 2009 10:57AM Don't feel bad. It's the same in Chicago as well.
Engadget's back to school giveaway part 2: win an Xbox 360 prize pack! {Engadget}
Sep 7th 2009 1:19PM As I watch kids in the airport with LED-lit shoes dancing around in front of the departures board, it occurs to me that, if someone gave me this XBox 360 right now, I might throw it at them.
Good thing the contest doesn't end right now.
Sony announces VAIO X ultraportable {Engadget}
Sep 2nd 2009 12:54PM One inch wasn't groundbreaking when they released the MacBook air. In fact, nothing about the air really was. If toshiba, panasonic, and Sony would stay on message with their long history of interesting notebooks, maybe people would remember that the only thing we have to thank apple for is the stupid mini displayport connector on my 13" mbp.

It also doesn't play SACDs anymore, nor does it do Linux...
The first, okay. The second, I have no idea how dropping a boot-loader helps them in any way.
PlayStation 3 Slim review {Engadget}
Aug 27th 2009 1:32PM And this is the drawback of feature-streamlining for the majority.
85% of people won't ever use PS2 games.
93% of people won't ever use SACD.
90% of people won't ever care about the twisty badge.
97% of people won't ever install Linux.
92% of people won't use more than 2 USB ports.
87% of people won't ever use the card reader.
In the best case, this means that 15% of people are pissed off. In the worst case, it means that 56% of people are pissed off. The reality is somewhere in the middle.
PlayStation 3 Slim review {Engadget}
Aug 27th 2009 12:43PM Oh, and the bit that I left out there is that I already have 12 PS3 disc games and at least as many PSN purchases. I don't have a 360 yet...
PlayStation 3 Slim review {Engadget}
Aug 27th 2009 12:42PM It's the linux drop that kills it for me. I can't imagine what sort of insanely stupid pseudo-technical reason they may have for that.
PS2 and SACD being gone? I have, between those two formats, probably 100 discs that I'd like to be able to play on my PS3. Seriously, Sony, even with an entire library of games at my disposal, I'm thinking that the machine for my second home is going to be a 360, more out of spite than anything else.
T-Mobile G1 won't see any Android updates beyond 1.5 (update: maybe it will) {Engadget}
Aug 17th 2009 3:14PM I knew that the meager amount of memory in the device was going to come back and bite me, but i had *no* idea that it was going to be so soon. That's honestly pretty irksome, and it's high time that work was done to make the OS capable of treating the MicroSD card as a semi-permanently installed device.
Although, for me, I'd probably stop cursing at my phone if friggin' traffic worked in maps (low memory, traffic has been disabled).
