This is for the people that can't resist modding their console to make it better and better.

As for Xboxes constantly overheating... Odd... My Elite hasn't crashed on me, well there was that one time before I updated and popped in a HD-DVD and it stalled for a second then kicked me back to the dashboard. Then there is the Core that served faithfully 16hours a day, 7 days a week, for a year and a half until someone got upset they couldn't beat a game, and told us it "vibrated" off the desk. The elite we have on demo now sits playing games the same 16hours a day or atleast paused.

Want to talk about pumping hot air, our PS3 displayer sounds like a hoover and nothing but hot air comes out of the dual 120mm fans that are exhausting from the cage. The design of the cage is a good one as there is alot of openness to draw fresh air through. That unit gets hot, to be fair though, the 360s on display were open air, mine sits in a open shelf with proper cable routing, and it does pump some warm air out, but three 3.2ghz processor cores and a rather powerful vpu make heat.

Stuffing a modern console in a closed entertainment unit(aka leaving it with no way to exhaust the heat) and then crying a river because it over heats, is very similar to calling tech support and complaining about how your computer shut down, while there is a black out in your area....

Wait... So you mean like the softwood lumber disagreement...

The US lost at every last single trade court, and still screwed Canada(the companies, the people) out of billions, because they feel they don't have to comply with the ruling that their tariffs were indeed illegal, but instead undermined decades of negotiations, and toss a few million back while still pocketing billions.

Now look who is crying and hoping the international trade courts will back them up. Bunch of hypocrits, I do say.

Look further down on the engadget, someone took apart the Eee PC. The speakers are about the size of quarters and there are two of them, one on either side. Most of that space is there to act as a spacer, to allow the use of larger hardware/keyboard.

Jobs had to be referenced because underneath the guise of journalistic non-biasedness, you have a core of Apple zealots running engadget.

You will notice the Pro-Crapple and very strong anti-MS sentiment that oozes out of every news post they can push it into. Sony is public about their viral marketing...

As for perfection, last time I checked Apple has been pushing out a lot of very shoddy software and hardware recently. Blind fanboys make corporations very happy all the way to the bank. ;p

One line needs editing...

It is because they are all secretly submissive and like to be treated badly and to pay extra for the right to be.


;p

Hmmm... Apple does make crap. But hey people love it. So you must make some pretty randy crap to get the drones angry enough to get the law involved.

How many lawsuits is this? How many has apple lost? How many faulty, shoddily assembled, underspec'd, overpriced, pieces of form over function has Crapple produced?

Better question, Why do people buy apple? Oh that's an easy one boys and girls. It is because they are all secretly submissive and like to be treated badly and be paid for the right to be.

Yes I dislike apple, and can better everyone of their products with a competitors. But Jobs has a marketing beast, just like Intel and how they weathered the Prescott storm.

My favourite scene is at the end when the one spartan is leading the combined greek armies against the persian armies and you know that what the 300 did wasn't done in vain and their lives were sacrificed for a good reason.
