i have to agree: i've never understood the entire cocktail theme. the logo itself is hideous, and more than a little girly.

Google's Chrome OS just a week away from launch?

if you already have an os, there isn't much point: the big idea is that this is an open, web-based platfrom. you can run chrome os software on any platform in any browser. and as loocas intimates, it's a pain in the ass to put 3 partitions on a macbook: bootcamp expects two partitions, no more.

say what you want, but linux has long had 2 serious problems, in fact: name recognition, and ease of use. even your grandparents already know what google is, and they won't have to know a thing about kernels or distros to make it "just work." they might even have the clout to solve the driver drought that drove me away from linux after like 2 days.

I'm glad Lenovo finally figured this out, but somebody forget to tell Steve Jobs. Although, he probably did it just to be "different" (ie, difficult).

shemale? wrists? i don't know where to start...

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
