Netflix hints at Watch Instantly integration on 'already-popular device'

Oct 24th 2009 6:03PM on Engadget

Isn't the CEO of Netflix on the board of Microsoft? That would seem to indicate the PS3 integration unlikely no?

Apple said to be charging $10,000 for iTunes LP production, cutting out indie labels

Can someone enlighten me and tell me how the LP thing is different than what the Zune Player visualizer does for every CD you have..for free?

Dell to shutter US plant, cut 900 jobs, generally mess up someone's holiday

Yeah I trust Wikipedia over CNET and Wired especially with the number or rabid Apple fanboys out there. Without the money and MS's agreement to put Office on the Mac platform, it's not obvious the Mac would have survived.

"Microsoft to invest $150 million in Apple"
"This deal strengthens Apple's viability. It's a new era in terms of Apple and Microsoft working together," said Apple chief financial officer Fred Anderson, who has been assigned to run the company's daily operations until a successor to outgoing CEO Gilbert Amelio is found.

Yes, Google is useful.

So you're saying Bill Gates need to swoop in and save Dell's ass?

Dell packs Intel's Lynnfield CPUs into Studio XPS 8000 and 9000 desktops

You forgot PSU and OS which will easily run you over $100 for both if you get the OEM OS otherwise it will be much more. I've been building my own systems for years and honestly I'm thinking of buying this. As someone said, the headache is worth paying $100 more with fewer possible hassles. I am worried about the 350W PSU, but I'll run an power consumption comparison on the components to see how it shakes out.

So what happens if you want to listen to a particular song, artist or album? I think most people need more than just a radio.

Google Voice iPhone app rejected, current GV apps lose connection with iTunes

Swim is right. They are a company and like any other company their sole motivation is to make as much money as possible. They are no better or worse in that regard than anyone else.

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."
