"Important data" - is that how we now refer to peoples sarcastic, juvenile, hater, or fanboy comments?

Don't get me wrong, there are some gems of comments, but 80/20 at least.

And I still wouldn't call it "important data".


Maybe it would be good if it was user definable, so you could set it for you either to "default show" or "default hide"]]>Nov 27th 2009 3:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/engadget-podcast-172-11-23-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/engadget-podcast-172-11-23-2009/
If you want to talk service plans, the quality of signals, etc, that is one thing, but you stated none of this. Using the word "conflation" doesn't signal to me any intelligence when you are making nonsensical assertions.]]>Nov 24th 2009 1:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/engadget-podcast-172-11-23-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/engadget-podcast-172-11-23-2009/
I think you're missing the point. If I understand Nilay correctly, his point was that a coverage map is not a direct indicator of service quality. Even in places where AT&T's map is blue (see large cities like San Francisco and New York), their 3G coverage is still shoddy, with phones often reverting to EDGE (if not dropping calls altogether). Just because an area is "covered," doesn't mean it's covered well.]]>Nov 29th 2009 8:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/engadget-podcast-172-11-23-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/engadget-podcast-172-11-23-2009/I can easily browse a website, hit the home switch, tweet something, send messages, etc, do whatever, then again I can come back to the browser and resume at exactly the same place I left (infact even the cursor position on some input box remains there).

So what's the whole point?
I can do all the general activities any other multi-tasking phones can.

It's just perspective.]]>Nov 24th 2009 2:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/engadget-podcast-172-11-23-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/engadget-podcast-172-11-23-2009/Nov 24th 2009 5:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/engadget-podcast-172-11-23-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/engadget-podcast-172-11-23-2009/Once you get used to it, the benefits are huge.

One of the most noteworthy feature was: When you press the up/down buttons on the scrollbar, only the shadow moves, the bar itself doesn't move, so that you can continue to press the button at the same place.

It's actually pretty cool]]>Nov 24th 2009 2:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/engadget-podcast-172-11-23-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/engadget-podcast-172-11-23-2009/
However, I'll take your suggestion and give it a chance. It's just oh so distracting to me. I do agree that it's cool that you're different from every other site out there, and that it kind of has a newspaper feel. It's just tough on the eyes. Not an opinion, a fact...]]>Nov 24th 2009 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/engadget-podcast-172-11-23-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/engadget-podcast-172-11-23-2009/http://podcasts.engadget.com/rss.xml is the one I have in my reader and it just shows all the regular engadget posts.]]>Nov 25th 2009 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/engadget-podcast-172-11-23-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/engadget-podcast-172-11-23-2009/Nov 25th 2009 5:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/engadget-podcast-172-11-23-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/engadget-podcast-172-11-23-2009/Nov 28th 2009 4:50PM
