Shocker: content providers raising rates in 2008 {Engadget HD}
Jan 27th 2008 1:27PM A la carte? You mean, only pay for what you want to see? Wow! what a shocker that would be! And Food Network? You don't want to pay for it, but it's OK if everyone pays for it just so you can watch it? Yeah, right. Food Network, ESPN, MTV, TNT and all the rest that I don't watch can fold for all I care. If ANY enterprise can't make money from only those willing to pay for its service or product, then it should go out of business.
NAT Audio's Magma is one beastly tube amplifier {Engadget}

Urinal game banned by killjoy Belgium police {Engadget}
Nov 5th 2007 12:33PM Huh? The Belgian police have the authority to declare what is, and isn't, an "indecency offense"? I didn't know Belgium was a police state. Frankly, the "how drunk are you" concept makes a lot of sense. Of course, you could just as easily implement a "urinalyzer" to check that, couldn't you? :D
NYC taxi drives launch second GPS-related strike {Engadget}
Oct 22nd 2007 1:49PM Engadget: I understand you filing this under "Transportation". But filing it under "Gaming"?
Or is finding a taxi in NYC sorta like a game? Sometimes you win? Sometimes you lose? (Or do dispatchers use gaming software as a kind of traffic control "game"? Fun, fun, fun! ...not.)
Canada's Copyright Board slaps tax on music downloads {Engadget}
Oct 19th 2007 1:19PM Clearly, intelligence isn't any more of a requirement for Canadian "boards" and composers than it is for their American ilk (and let us not forget those Scots).
Researchers develop artificial nerve {Engadget}
Oct 19th 2007 4:05AM And when it came to Björn, resistance was futile. (Yeah, I'd like to see any player--now or ever--using a *real* tennis racket beat him at Wimbledon, both playing their best... never gonna happen.)
Those other Borg, however, are "definitely not Swedish". :D
Scottish firm sued for blaring radios, infringing copyright {Engadget}
Oct 14th 2007 10:55PM "Hey, Fergus, I'm headin' down to the Kwik-Fit to listen in on the radio down there 'n' stick it to those bloody PRS 'artistes'--gettin' ma tunes fer free! wanna tag along?"
...oh, yeah, that happens.
Scottish firm sued for blaring radios, infringing copyright {Engadget}
Oct 14th 2007 3:46PM Honestly, I'd prefer not being forced to listen to what passes for "music" to someone else. As such, I don't really consider the sounds--radio or otherwise--emanating from some auto shop to be "entertainment". It certainly isn't public broadcasting (on the part of the auto shop)--the royalties for which have already been paid by the radio station (though not all royalties apply here, the ones in this case do). It is nothing more than incidental sound--loud, annoying, incidental sound. Any law which seriously categorizes this as "taxable" (that's what it is) is little more than extortion.
Scottish firm sued for blaring radios, infringing copyright {Engadget}
Oct 14th 2007 3:36PM When you say "crappy", I presume you mean [c]rap (as in, the "c" is silent), which isn't music at all but really just poetry... and pretty bad poetry usually? :D
