I agree, lately especially articles have stopped being "articles" and started being press releases copypasta'd. Maybe this'll stop when there aren't as many things being released, but seriously? Do we need to know about every single blu-ray player being released this week? I would've preferred a well thought out comparison of Chrome to other browsers out there, with things like loading times, Acid3 scores (which happens to be 73-79), boot time for the browser, etcetera. But instead, we didn't even hear about its release. Engadget seems to be slipping in my opinion.
At least, they're not an apple zealot glee club like engadget are. At least they balance their opinions with the actual news. This s**t rag never seems to do that.
I totally agree with you carl. For example, why do we need two articles about an obviously fake ipod?? I liked the days when I could load up engadget and see innovation and cool new stuff. Now all we see is every single shitty little netbook and how much vista sucks and a post about every square millimeter of the new iphone.
Really? biased? i see no bias... its a regular news story. Which part is biased, i would like you to tell me, because it looks to me as if your defending microsoft after all this crap they are pulling
Possibly because they're not having a go at the shambling fucking Neanderthals that populate the Apple Genius (oh the irony!) Bar to balance things out?

@ Apple Rep
WTF are you on about? "this crap they are pulling"? If I walk in to my local PC store I'm instantly approached by several Apple reps telling me how great their overpriced crap is. Yet when MS do it, it's "crap they're pulling"?
Hey, did you ever consider that maybe both Patricio and Engadget may have some bias. And that Patricio pointing this out is not only perfectly valid, but to be expected? He would be the one to notice.
The Chromebooks are here, starting with Samsung's Series 5, a cute little number that promises instant-on access, 3G connectivity, and long enough battery life to web surf with the best of 'em.
The most commented posts on Engadget over the past 24 hours.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
You guys are such pricks, I mean at least make some effort to hide your obvious bias.. WOW, this site has really tumbled.
I agree, if these guys were working for Apple you probably treat them like the Messiah.
I agree, this is rediculous. All this is is overt microsoft bashing. I'm not even going to read this blog anymore.

And at least CNN can from time to time write a story that isn't entirely positive about apple

They did a good job though, he sold me the Mac told me everything about it and even helped me put Vista on it!

Joshua Topolsky concerning Google's Chrome browser:
"We're not in the business of covering software...unless there's a gadget angle."
Where is the gadget angle here Engadget?

biased? How would you possibly know? You expect any of us to believe that you have a neutral perspective with that overtly anti-apple icon?
hey buddy... i think your the one who is obvious with the apple crossed out
