Well enjoy it now, because when they start reporting on how much of a failure this will be, you wont be so happy. Microsoft is crap, and they have now decided to all of this when apple has taken over the cell phone game. Day late and a dollar short. This will be an epic fail.

Personally, I think both devices merit the coverage and don't disagree with how engadget covered either. They are big buzz, brand new gadgets with a lot of news breaking all the time.

That said, I don't agree with the way the comments have been turning out. People get bashed for being "fanboys" when the behavior of those calling them a fanboy is exactly that of a fanboy for the other side.

Downvoting whiners is ethical, but doing it when you (not targeting anyone in particular here) were one of those people or were upvoting people who were just because it was in regards to another product is just hypocritical.]]>Mar 16th 2010 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/ballmers-visage-evoked-for-developers-developers-developers/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/ballmers-visage-evoked-for-developers-developers-developers/Mar 15th 2010 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/ballmers-visage-evoked-for-developers-developers-developers/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/ballmers-visage-evoked-for-developers-developers-developers/

Christ, can't you guys just blanket party Ballmer until he coughs up an answer?]]>Mar 15th 2010 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/ballmers-visage-evoked-for-developers-developers-developers/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/ballmers-visage-evoked-for-developers-developers-developers/
I'm ripping a movie to put on my iPhone.

It's asking if I want to crop the picture. The options are:

1) Do Not Crop
2) Manual (choose dimensions)
3) Automatically.

now I have a few movies on my iPhone to begin with but I have no clue if those are cropped or what I need to choose so I can get the best picture quality and make it so that viewing the movie isn't annoying.

I'm doing 640 x 480 width by height which I hope will give a nice crisp picture (feel free to tell me if there are better options...like should I go 720p or something?).

Any tips?]]>Mar 15th 2010 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/ballmers-visage-evoked-for-developers-developers-developers/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/ballmers-visage-evoked-for-developers-developers-developers/

Hmmm ... probably won't get much a response asking an Apple iPhone video conversion question on a thread about Windows 7.

I tried but I'm getting unclear responses.

Basically I just want to know that if I transcode this bluray into a mp4 file that is 1280x720 and put that in iTunes will it

1) Recognize It
2) Will my iPhone play it back at that resolution (making it clear and crisp picture quality)?

Or will I just be wasting time and space doing that...]]>Mar 15th 2010 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/ballmers-visage-evoked-for-developers-developers-developers/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/ballmers-visage-evoked-for-developers-developers-developers/

Next time, use a forum or a site such as vark.com or Yahoo answers for asking questions.

If you seriously need some guidance, then iPhone videos are the least of your worries. If you seriously need some help with iPhone videos, just take the time and do some research. There are a million and one How-To's for this process. Don't pop in on some random thread and hope to get the answer you need unless you're just trying to cause troub-- wait a minute...

Already tried handbrake. It sucks to make it plain and simple.

The program I'm using is a lot quicker and easier to use. I just have a simple question about the resolution of the video. I just want to know if I choose 1280x720p will my iPhone 3GS play it....yes or no?

And if not should I just stick with the 640x480p?

Thanks]]>Mar 15th 2010 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/ballmers-visage-evoked-for-developers-developers-developers/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/ballmers-visage-evoked-for-developers-developers-developers/Mar 15th 2010 5:34PM
