Zune HD v4.3 firmware out now: fixes playcount bug, adds lots of great things (video) {Engadget}
Nov 7th 2009 12:38PM Well considering the image is "Binging" for "IPod(sic) touch sucks," I think that the Microsoft Fanboys started this one.
Apple welcomes Windows 7 the only way it knows how, with a new commercial (video, updated) {Engadget}
Oct 23rd 2009 1:51AM I have to admit these commercials are getting kind of old, but that last one has a pretty good marketing line in it. "If we are going to have to move all our stuff, why not move it to a Mac" That's a better angle in my opinion, instead of the attacking, which is admittedly getting old, taking advantage of the "big move" by saying just come over to our side.
Either way guys, hate the ads or not, they are working. As long as the advertising is working, why would Apple stop it? Apple just posted record profits in an economic downturn. Apple has a pretty good marketing team that has results, and thats all the share holders really care about.
BlackBerry Bold 9700 announced, launching globally starting next month {Engadget}
Oct 21st 2009 4:38PM I wonder if this means that the original Bold will get a price drop to get rid of stock. I'm and iPhone guy, but I sure would love to add another line with a Blackberry on it. It's gotta be 3G though, and the only option is obviously the Bold.
BW: Apple's Schiller sees opportunity for Mac with Windows 7 launch {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Oct 15th 2009 2:49PM Why doesn't Apple just make it an option to have a Windows 7/Snow Leopard Dual Boot on Mac's if requested. They already sell Windows in the the stores, why not allow somebody to walk out with a machine with Windows on it? Getting the Machine in the peoples hands is the first step, the second is weening them in to a new OS.
Caption contest: Big Four's CEOs finally united by a very large check {Engadget}
Oct 7th 2009 10:44PM That is kinda cool to see them all together like that, I didn't know Dan was either really tall or all the others are just really short.
Verizon removes gloves, begins 'There's a map for that' anti-AT&T ad campaign (video) {Engadget Mobile}
Oct 5th 2009 11:55PM That might be because Verizon's Voice coverage is completely been overlaid with 3G.
Verizon removes gloves, begins 'There's a map for that' anti-AT&T ad campaign (video) {Engadget Mobile}
Oct 5th 2009 11:27PM This could possibly be the greatest ad ever, ever. Maybe AT&T will watch it and finally get it.
Video: Google Earth animated with real time human and vehicular traffic {Engadget}
Sep 30th 2009 12:58PM The usefulness of things like traffic is pretty easily seen, you can not possibly complain about that. It is not using actual car images, just using cameras to predict traffic movement, which can bring a whole new generation to traffic prediction. All the other things though are a bit gimmicky. The live sports and stuff is definitely cool, along with pedestrian traffic, but hardly useful. And for everybody that is complaining, this is all public data, so take off your tin foil hats. Also, this isn't "Google" they really had little to do with this, it was a 3rd party.
Microsoft kicks out $50 rebate for $299 Xbox 360 Elite {Engadget}
Sep 22nd 2009 4:32PM Awesome, thanks Microsoft, I finally took the dive and bought an Xbox, and I went with the Elite instead of buying the old Pro SKU, and now you screw me over by doing this. You don't price drop and then do something like this less than a month later. Really makes people who took the dive feel like real tools. Should have waited until November or something, that would make more sense.
Apple TV junkies left out of new iTunes Extra special features {Engadget HD}
Sep 11th 2009 3:24PM Not sure why everybody uses this as a Joke. Apple has been pretty generous to Apple TV adopters. If you bought an Apple TV on day one, it can still run the latest software, all of which has been free. Apple has stated that Apple TV was just a "Hobby" I would expect a free software update in the near future that enables the Apple TV to take advantage of these new iTunes features. A FREE update. I will admit, I am disappointed that Apple let this gap happen, if you can buy what is basically the DVD version with all the features, instantly, and watch it on your TV.. That seems pretty killer to me.
