Creative makes the X-Fi official, drops it with Red Cliff special edition {Engadget}
Jul 10th 2008 11:21AM Yeah it does - I cant say I like the design whatsoever - and what is with the screen size and aspect ratio???
However, expandable memory and Crystalizer are outstanding features.
I like the Crystalizer alot - I know purists knock it, but I just like the way my speakers sound with every type of music when its on.

Dell keeps promise, invokes fees for "downgrading" to Windows XP {Engadget}
Jun 19th 2008 9:57AM Its not a penalty - Dell's #1 cost base is customer support - supporting twice as many OS's for the same units costs more labor. They've eaten that cost during transition as a cost of doing business, but people who want to continue to have that support will have to subsidize it.
Dell keeps promise, invokes fees for "downgrading" to Windows XP {Engadget}
Jun 19th 2008 9:53AM I agree, so many people want to continue to hate Vista they haven't stopped to check that its actually fine now.
Verizon pushing FiOS internet to 50Mbps throughout US {Engadget}
Jun 18th 2008 11:07AM As a symmetrical 25 Mbps FiOs user, I have no inclination to upgrade (it would double my monthly).
After about 8 Mbps the ROI is very slim. Only Bittorrent and parallel download managers (like Internet Download Manager) can saturate my bandwidth. A few well-connected sites can.
Whats interesting about my FiOs is that it came with the slowest name servers on earth - browsing (depending on my dns cache) was actually *slower* than my previous cable connection!
Once I debugged that and defined different name servers it worked fine.
iPhone 3G purchase and activation will be in-store only {Engadget}
Jun 9th 2008 11:06PM This was also REALLY crappy news for us Apple Store Affiliates - months of shoring up this story only to not be able to make a dime off of iPhone sales.
Not like Apple Store converted well and f**k their lousy 1% commissions - I can sell tons of Apple products off of Amazon Affiliates for 4%-7%.
iPhone 3G hands-on {Engadget}
Jun 9th 2008 10:19PM "104Kbps on the EDGE iPhone to 215Kbps on the 3G model. 2x ain't bad, yo."
Aint bad compared to an EDGE phone - not GOOD compared to other 3G phones. I hope this was due to coverage in the room.

May 23rd 2008 8:35AM When I saw the title and photos I thought the camera would do an analysis of the subjects' attractiveness and tell you how long the relationship would last.
