Aliens vs. Predator Hunter Edition to violently hug your face

Nasty, I think I see what you are seeing Mystile. I wonder if I would go to HR if I brought this to work.

Rumor: EA cuts targeting Maxis, Pandemic, C&C staff

Nov 11th 2009 11:43AM on Joystiq

Aside from the fact that we will be losing a bunch of great titles, my concern about this move is that EA is at risk of becoming short sighted. Without supporting new IP's, I feel that they risk becoming insignificant in the industry over time.

How long can you run a company off of sequels? Doesn't anyone else see this?

Windows 7 Media Center's upgraded Netflix Watch Instantly interface now available

Oct 21st 2009 5:59PM on Engadget

It's not Microsoft dork. There are technologies that Netflix could use that can provide HD quality (Silverlight). I am sure it isn't on their top list because of the bandwidth required to support something like that (there is a larger Windows user base than XBOX's).

well done, but now I've got that damn song stuck in my head. :(

Hands-on: Facebook, Twitter, Last.fm and Zune Marketplace on Xbox 360

Oct 7th 2009 4:39PM on Joystiq

Yeah, I'm excited about Last.fm.

Chris D. Have you heard of the concept of letting the music play while doing other things around the house? Free music service with access to artists that I typically don't listen to.

@ZeroCorpse:

Well written. It isn't often when I come across intelligent posts on Engadget.

Entelligence: Two strikes for Kindle is enough for me

Jul 23rd 2009 6:35PM on Engadget

This guy's complaints are valid, however to the most part I don't care about these two issues because most books aren't considered usefull to me after the first read anyway.

I'm a developer and I typically purchase between 5 and 10 technical books within a given year. These books are usually pretty bulky so a Kindle would be a nice purchase for me. By the time I would see myself needing to transfer these books to a new Kindle, the majority of them would be obsolete anyway.

In regards to my fictional books, I find myself saving read books just to never read them again. They just waste space at my house.

Granted I understand this guys issues, but they are fairly extreme cases in my opinion. A disclaimer on the publisher and Amazon's behalf would have to nice to know. However I don't think it warrents trashing the kindle all together.

Engadget's recession antidote: win a copy of Halo Wars for Xbox 360!

I love XBOX 360!

Windows 7 Release Candidate 1 impressions, insights, and expectations

Apr 30th 2009 11:42AM on Engadget

He's a MAC user. I bet he doesn't even know how to download the RC.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
