Crackulous released, promises to bust iPhone app protection scheme If Apple's sat back and let the iPhone hacking community do its thing in peace (well, relative peace) so far, this little gem just might be what the doctor ordered to stir up the crap. |

lol wuuuuut is this.
Messy.
The first time I saw a digital camera I was like WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT is this. Real.
like the layout
Maybe I have just missed it the past couple days, but is this the Daily Roundup rebirthed? I don't recall seeing it in quite some time. It's nice.
I like it!
Nooooooooooooo! Change! Baaaaaad!
Strange I'm sure everyone that loves Engadget checks the other two sections daily. Including switch sometimes there's good articles in there to read.
Too many columns left to right.. Okay I know it is only three, but TOO MANY..
PS. I applaud Engadget on making its own decision. I remember them asking whether liveblogs should be posted with new updates at the top or bottom and holding a vote. They probably just realized that people would notice the change and do exactly what we're all doing right now: commenting on it.

Nothing about the Adobe and Apple thing?! I don't believe it!
I don't think that was today. They say it is a Daily Roundup.
This is ugly.
Besides, wasn't the 12MP camera a fake?
Come on.
I'd rather scroll through the posts to see what's new since I last visited. It's easy, I'm used to it, and this roundup thing is a little awkward amidst the single-column posts.
Damnit, I hate when blogs do this. If I want to read past content, there's a handy little "Older Posts" button. When I check the site after a hiatus, I don't mind scrolling through pages. All this crap does is clutter up the front page with old news, and make past pages more tedious to navigate. I am always pissed when sites try to regurgitate their content and pass it off as something fresh. Please, Engadget, please, no more.

I like the idea, but the design is rather ugly... needs streamlining, to be more like a post and not shout *PAGEBREAK*... I ignore those normally, and assume they are ads.
Huh? Why would we have missed anything? RSS feeds have a purpose, you know.
what have they started to do a daily round up?:O
I actually like concept as well as the layout and how it looks overall. Good job!
