Is Apple shooting in the dark to fix iPhone 3G issues? {Engadget}
Aug 19th 2008 9:00PM It isn't just the iPhone. After upgrading to Apple TV 2.0, it started taking literally a whole day to sync a movie from my computer. It also took 10+ hrs to download a movie. I finally just did a factory restore once they let out the latest firmware (I think it is 2.1...). I have noticed a huge difference since doing that. I downloaded an HD movie the other night and it said it was ready to play in about 10 minutes. Hopefully they are getting their act together because all these problems are truly annoying.

Aug 16th 2008 10:49PM Been there, done that. I got some sweet swag from the company store. I have the Apple branded water bottle sitting next to me on the coffee table. I also got a keychain and a shirt that says "I visited the Mothership".

Jun 28th 2008 5:23AM Bill,
Thanks for all you've done over the years. Computing simply wouldn't be the same without you. Hopefully, you can say that about the rest of the world in a few years. Highest regards,

Apple quietly enables movie purchases from Apple TV {Engadget}
May 1st 2008 10:00PM I checked and I do not see any movies for purchase in HD. For instance, I am Legend is available for rent in standard for $3.99, rent in HD for $4.99, or purchase for $14.99. I'm assuming the purchase is just standard def.
Dell unveils tiny bamboo-cased eco-computer concept {Engadget}
Apr 22nd 2008 8:33PM I'm an ardent Apple fan, but I think this looks pretty neat. This is the exact opposite in terms of awesomeness of that Fujitsu all in one that was featured earlier.
Microsoft finally releases new Vista Ultimate Extras, still "ultimate" in name only {Engadget}
Apr 22nd 2008 8:30PM I guess most of you all are too young to remember Plus 95 and 98. This is the same kind of crap they've done before. Wow, back then you got Golf 98, Mcafee virus scan, "deluxe" cd player, some stupid marble game, and a few desktop themes. Anyone else seeing a pattern here?
Apple COO says it's not married to iPhone exclusivity, still on track to sell 10m this year {Engadget}
Feb 27th 2008 8:37PM I was about to say the same thing. When I read the blurb, I thought to myself "when did Oppenheimer retire..."
Vista SP1 doesn't significantly boost performance, slows down certain tasks {Engadget}
Feb 13th 2008 8:11PM I tried Vista on my iMac. It was decent, but then I installed the release candidate of SP1. Whatever they did, the time it took for my computer to come back awake increased 10 fold. I didn't notice any speed boosts either. I have since gone back to XP because it uses much less HD space and lets me do the same stuff.
Sprint Unlimited Access Pack is $119.99 a month for unlimited everything {Engadget}
Feb 6th 2008 12:44PM I hear you on the cell phone deal man. I swore I'd never get one when I was in college. However, my company signed a deal with Verizon a while back that is pretty sweet. I only have to pay $35/month for my Verizon service and I got the phone for 19.99. I'm under no contract at all, just month to month. Plus I got a phone number with the same area code as my parents so they don't have to call me long distance any more. I can't stand cell phones, but this deal was just something that I couldn't pass up. I no longer have a land line and just use my cell phone for any calls I need to make (which are very few).
