Thats really low class Engadget... you just couldnt make a remark from you about his death you had to put someones rip-OFF APP regarding his death. So many serious sites (not music related !!!) put tribute remark in form of small banner or something and you put this lame news. Kinda disguasting.
This is a tech blog; if events regarding Michael Jackson's death pertain to technology, Engadget will report on it, otherwise its just more meaningless fluff added to the collective navel which the entire connected world will spend an eternity wanking themselves into a frenzy over.
As for the rest of the moral feather spitting going on about this golden nugget on the app store, if you don't like it, don't buy it. The only *actual* problem here seems to be that the creator is asking for payment, but the actual concept, though tacky in its execution, is no more a show of disrespect to the dead than any other medium of rememberance.
All of the major services (from wide variety of fields) decided to give him respect and tribute for touching milions.So if other could mention Micheal I dont see Engadget could not make small remark. The whole freaking world knows who this person was as he was one of his kind. But if engadget decides to ignore that fact [fair] thats their view/choice. And I can agree to that and have no problem with it.
But why they decided to put this news up? hmm? i think this app existed before Micheal's death concerning other celebrities. But engadget didnt focus on it untill Micheal Jackson passed away. And it because Micheal, engadget highlighted this app. So for me it is not the most classy way to reffer to someones death by emphasizing an app that uses his name to make cash. >:O I would leave more space for things more important than that. Especially when micheal's death is considered for something not worth of mentioning. Thats how i think :)
While caught up in grief I was expecting this site to cover Michael Jackson's demise since this site has been known to blog about robots, and Jackson was the most influential robot in pop history. In retrospect, even though it may have been sad, I'd prefer them to stick to covering practical consumer gadgets. I'll continue to do my grieving at rotten.com, thank you.
You actually pitched a fit because a gadget blog is not posting a tribute to a musician. Seriously, think about how pathetic you look to all of us right now.
The Cobra Tag may help you win that losing battle, acting as a Bluetooth device that attaches to your key ring and connects to your phone, it gives you the opportunity to find the missing item if it's less than 30 feet away.
