Shame on you, Besna.

Keep up the good work, Miller, I'm counting on you.

There have been frequent occasions in which I was listening to the podcast through my computer speakers and Nilay has a tendecy to decrease his speaking volume which doesn't help the fact his voice is low to begin with.
Still good podcasts though :)]]>Jul 24th 2009 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/Jul 25th 2009 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/Jul 24th 2009 5:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/Jul 24th 2009 5:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/Jul 25th 2009 1:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/
Otherwisw, I love these podcasts. Keep up the good work everyone!]]>Jul 25th 2009 6:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/Jul 25th 2009 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/
You can turn off applications on a stock Android phone without any other applications. But it is hidden well. Go to Settings -> Applications > Manage applications. Choose the application you want to turn off and under "Controls" there should be a button "Force stop".

It's clearly not as easy to get to as it should though. And the Android OS should really be tweaked to turn off applications if the CPU is over loaded. (Or for that matter, they could just not run applications the user has not used for some time or turn down priority of applications in the background.)

Maybe my point of view is skewed, but I don't believe that my reasoning is flawed. Spending $1500 on something you only sort of like, or spending $1500 and getting exactly the components you want to make a powerful system isn't much of a choice. People want value for their money, even on the high end. They want to know that they are getting value for their money, be it perceived or actual. And on the PC side, a custom built unit gives you that flexibility and assurance that you have exactly what you wanted/paid for.]]>Jul 25th 2009 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/Jul 25th 2009 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/Jul 27th 2009 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/Jul 28th 2009 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/Jul 28th 2009 8:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/Jul 28th 2009 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/engadget-podcast-156-07-24-2009/Aug 3rd 2009 4:50PM
