Microsoft's Surface taking a while to, you know, surface {Engadget}
Nov 9th 2007 10:32AM anti-Microsoft TROLLS got here FAST today.
Good thing this device wasn't designed by APPLE Computers cause then you idiots would be applauding it and pledging your lives to it - giving Steve Job's journalistic BJ's.
Microsoft's Surface taking a while to, you know, surface {Engadget}
Nov 9th 2007 10:12AM Reminds me of Forerunner panels in Halo.
I don't see something like this becoming mainstream in American homes for about 20 years or so (maybe 10 if manufacturing costs drop).
AMD sued by worker whose child has birth defects {Engadget}

That's wrong.
AMD sued by worker whose child has birth defects {Engadget}
Nov 9th 2007 8:02AM First of all PREGNANT WOMEN should never be working around ANY chemical used in cleaning, or ambient radiation.
Secondly, if she is suing AMD for causing her child's birth defects, WHEN are American parents going to sue CHINA (and other parts of ASIA) for selling us garbage for the past 25 years with lead paint? A kid in the news just got a taste of the DateRapedrug nibbling on a Chinese toy for God's Sake.
No wonder Autism is such a big deal nowadays.
Fedora 8 hits the tubes {Engadget}
Nov 8th 2007 12:19PM No OS can succeed unless third party software developers cater to its users.
That rule has allways been true for video game consoles and will always be true for OSystems.
Verizon's Venus and Voyager available for pre-order {Engadget}
Nov 8th 2007 10:17AM I think these phones would looks so much cooler if they didn't have that Verizon Logo on the front.
I'd buy a voyager but that huge check is the dealbreaker.
In the battle of 1TB drives, nobody wins {Engadget}
Nov 8th 2007 9:53AM Would it not be easier to get one of those large firewire/usb DVD changers [that catalogue information] and put all your data onto the 4.7 GB (or larger) DVD's?
DVD's last longer than Hard Drisk Drives if you buy quality brands. You never have to worry about inffo getting automatically erased and if you want to take a disk out and upload the content to a PC (any PC) its quicker.
I couldn't see myself getting a drive larger than 200GB unless I was heavily into computer based media downloading.
HP to scuttle camera business {Engadget}
Nov 8th 2007 8:05AM HP makes quality cameras at a price that can't compare with the competition - and there is plenty of competition: Sony, Casio, Kodak (a really had one to challenege) and many others including Exilim and Olympus.
I've owned 3 HP cameras. They tend to be too bulky, too expensive and no where near as polished as the SONY models. The only thing I liked was the color matching with their printers and the ease of adding their software to my HP ddesktop and noteboooks.
PS3 firmware 2.00 hits tomorrow {Engadget}

90,000 HD DVD players sold in one weekend {Engadget}
Nov 7th 2007 10:33AM -------The problem for the HD DVD camp is that they're really up against the PS3's sales, and even though only 40% of PS3 owners realize that there is a Blu-ray player built in, that's still about 750,000 people in the US. But ultimately, this format war is about selling movies ----------
These are the truest words I have ever heard Engadget speak...THANK YOU.
I've been saying this same thing since before the PS3's release date.
I knew along time ago, PS3 and Blu Ray would help each other succeed simply because the vast majority of gamers out there were going to be sure to purchase a PS3 even faster than typical home theater enthusiasts would be to run out and buy an HDDVD or BLU RAY dedicated player.
SONY knew that the PS3 would do for Blu Ray what the PS2 did for DVD's.
Back in JAPAN during the PS2's release DVD was fasing out VCD's and the average DVD player typically cost over $800 (without progressive scan). PS2 was a low priced out-of-the box DVD PLAYER which was less than $400 and therefore, many Japanese stores stocked it as a DVD player even though they did not traditionaly sell VIDEO GAME SYSTEMS.
VCD vs. DVD is a format war that is almost never talked about or mentioned because DVD killed VCD on arrival with its higher definition sound and picture.
SONY realizes that the future of products is CONVERGENCE and that -even if you must sell your product at a loss - convergence can keep a new format alive, and lack there of can ensure its demise.
I KEEP SAYING IT AGAIN AND AGAIN... by refusing to place an HDDVD player in the XBOX360, MICROSOFT has ensured HDDVD will never become the mainstream format.
90,000 HDDVD players sold means nothing compared to the sales of BLU RAY through PS3 and even through dedicated computer drives and players. The only reason this particular player is selling is due to it being CHEAP.
