@iFargle To those that don't like the new look, I've created a User Script that replaces Times New Roman with Calibri, and upped the font size in the comments. If anyone is interested I will post a link to it. I'm only using it in Chrome...I'm sure its an easy port to Firefox though. I will say it makes the site look a million times better.
I am not sure if they mean bars in the area, bars on their facilities, or if this is a typo and they meant to say bars around the country. But I think if it was meant as their company bars...I found my new dream job.
It just seems like the subscription model refuses to take off. I like the Zune Pass, and when the Zune HD comes out, I think it might have a shot of making it big. But nothing else seems to have any chance.
The more I watch the Kindle DX news, the more sure I am that this product is going to be the biggest flop in Kindle history. It's a minor upgrade to a product that is itself a minor upgrade to the original. It's price is outrageous, its not in any way better than the original kindle except for its size and button placement.
What exactly is the market for this thing? 300 College students? Newspapers that are getting ripped off? I own the original Kindle, and while its a neat product and great for travelling, e-ink isn't replacing traditional books or newspapers anytime soon.
I am sick of the anti-MS slant on every piece of news that comes from Engadget. You guys use the great mockups created by the community for potential Apple products, but when it comes to Microsoft you use the ugliest image you can find. Is there a reason that you guys do this? I mean, nobody really thinks the picture is funny. They just think you guys are being Apple fanboys. Use the ZuneHD mockup. For the love of all that is not Apple.
"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
