iTunes tagging comes to London iPod nano owners: a European first

@(Unverified) I just logged in to comment exactly that :P

PlayStation 3 Video Delivery Service spreads to Europe

About time! I wish companies would realise that the movie download market is almost completely untapped in the UK. (I know there are a few, e.g. iTunes, Sky Player, but nothing like what is available in the states)

Windows 7 RTM "improved" activation bypassed by hackers

Security?

Dropbox Votebox lets you decide what they work on next

2 because I ditched DropBox for Syncplicity a long time ago now.

Valerie Singleton wants more Facebook friends, promotes Linux for the elderly

Instead of spending a fortune on an underpowered computer, you could just install Eldy (Linux or Windows, Mac coming soon), which is what this is running on... lol

Rejoice, surfers! Bing it up with free WiFi access across the US

If they removed the random images behind the search box, and made the design of the page more clean like Google I, and probably a lot of other people, would be quite happy to switch to bing.

Canonical to limit free Ubuntu CD distribution program

In my opinion they should never have given them away in the first place, or at the very least only given one away. The money would be better spent on development.

MonitorES pauses media playback, adjusts IM status when your PC is locked

Slight flaw... if your music is already paused, locking it now will start it playing.

Sure to be fixed soon though :)

Also, the ability to map Pausing to the Pause key? So simple but such a good idea.

International Kindle won't let you use terrible web browser overseas

Oct 14th 2009 2:29AM on Engadget

The whole 'International Kindle' thing is a total bodge job. I would have accepted it from a smaller company, but Amazon, who already has a very comprehensive warehouse and distribution system in place, should have been able to get a 'proper' one for each country. At the very least, they should be selling this in a currency other than US Dollars. $1.99 premium for international users too? No thanks.

I was so looking forward to the Kindle and they've ruined it.

Exclusive: Apple dictated Light Peak creation to Intel, could begin migration from other standards as early as 2010

Just to point out, the 32-bit limitation is not any fault of Microsoft.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
