Psystar Open Computer notes, benchmarks and video {Engadget}
Apr 30th 2008 9:18PM A legit Mac has it's benefits. But I personally am very hungry for an OSx86 type machine. Bang for the Buck, personal involvement with the build, ability to reconfigure hardware, personal gratification; these are some of what I'm hoping to achieve with my own personally built OSX/non-Apple machine. Is the Mac Mini even a worthy comparison? It's more like an internet/media appliance. I might consider it for some sort of Media PC in the living room (no fans/small size), but never for a serious computer. My opinion, I wonder who Psystar's intended customer base is? Anyone who is interested in what I described above will probably just build their own box. Anyone who would be satisfied with a Mac Mini ...will probably just get a Mini.
...Apple may disway me from my OSx86 desires if they decide to sell a mid-level tower. And the ability to perform basic upgrades myself would also be nice. But who am I to ask SJ to release some of his control, just a simple minded replaceable customer. I mean nothing to him.
Tresling: it's Tetris, with arm wrestling {Engadget}
Apr 15th 2008 11:59AM HaHa, looks really fun. Though, my first thought was "Some poor "Geek" trying to level the playing field between him and other "jock" types". I hate to say it Geek types, in dating, Size does matter. My advice, spend some time in the gym. After you tone up a little, you'll be able to challenge that cute brunette with the pony tail to a match of Tetris, with a reasonable chance of success.
Good luck
The real reason it took so long to crack BD+ {Engadget HD}
Mar 31st 2008 11:22AM Well, it seems I have a choice. Believe you and the facts you present, or believe the people who actually make a living breaking DRM for a living. Personally, I'm going to believe the individuals who break DRM for a living when they say that HD DVD was better for consumers because of the less restrictive DRM. Here's a link...

So, while you do present some interesting facts in support of your views. I'm under the impression that they are not the whole story. Sorry, but I have the consider the source. I'm glad that BD won the format war for your sake. Believe me, I would rather have seen it go the other way. But hay, that's life. Enjoy the BD titles that will continue come out in the future.
Ask Engadget HD: Which HD DVD player upconverts the best? {Engadget HD}
Mar 20th 2008 12:15PM Wow, "Low Ranked"? I guess we won't be having that discussion. Wasn't trying to troll, was genuinely interested. I figure, if all I'm looking for is "up-conversion", why spend $150 when I can spend $80. And I plan on owning this player well past the end of HD-DVD, so that capability is not an issue for me. I was also curious if dedicated up-converting DVD players did a better job up-converting then HD-DVD players.

Mar 19th 2008 6:29PM "Why just buy an upscaler on a dead format? Whatever."
-cause there's only room at the top of my CE stack for one game console, and that's a 360.
(wouldn't be an issue if either of them stuck with a stackable form factor)
