Apple most assuredly NOT slapping family with "gagging order" over iPod fire

Aug 3rd 2009 8:38PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

This article reminds me why I hate being an Apple user.

Such outright fanboyism doesn't get us anywhere.

Mac 101: Locking your Mac with a hotkey, like you can with Windows

Jun 19th 2009 12:52PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

I will be using this.

NONE of the alternatives including:

-Exposé
-Sleep Mode (totally useless if you want to leave something like MSN running while you're out of the room)
-Screen Saver passwords
-The dashboard widget I have (which is actually the best I've used)

can come close to matching Windows Key and L

Poll: Is Blu-ray coming to Apple anytime soon?

Jun 13th 2009 1:53PM on Engadget HD

Normally I'd say no, but iTunes 8.2 does contain that reference to Blu Ray in the about box.

I think they'll do it, but with little fanfare and I don't see them pushing the technology.

Study shows Europe slow to bite on internet TV viewing

I have to agree with the other posters.

We simply don't have access to the same range of content. Some UK channels are offering their content free like Hulu, others are charging for it and others don't offer anything at all.

US Shows are usually left out of the picture.

We don't have Netflix, Hulu etc.

About time!

It feels like July 2008 now...

Rock Band DLC to be bundled with re-release of Pearl Jam's 'Ten'

Feb 4th 2009 1:23PM on Joystiq

This offer is a bit crappy.

I'll be buying the Deluxe CD and the DLC (I'm in the UK) anyway.

Saved from a ticket by an iPhone

I suppose it's like how we don't have to carry our driving licences with us in the UK (they even tell you not to).

You get 7 days to take it to a police station if asked for it.

Tomb Raider: Underworld DLC set for Feb. 10, March 10

Jan 22nd 2009 5:04PM on Joystiq Xbox

X360F hasn't quoted that properly.

They ACTUALLY planned the DLC a long time ago and a SMALL PORTION of the game was cut and set aside for DLC because they:

a) Ran out of time to include that portion of the game with the retail release

AND

b) They felt the DLC didn't have as much content as they would have liked

They certainly DID NOT say "Let's just chop off half the game and shove it up as DLC for 30000000000 Microsoft Points.

National Safety Council calls for nationwide ban on cellphone use while driving

Jan 13th 2009 10:59PM on Engadget Mobile

As pointed out by MatthewJ above, we have a law in place already here in the UK (as many other countries do).

Did anyone see the "MythBusters" episode where they tested whether using a cellphone was more dangerous than driving while slightly drunk?

Blu-ray Disc sales up 396% year to date in UK

Oct 20th 2008 11:05AM on Engadget HD

Yes, surely if that figure includes PS3s the sales are dismal?

And FYI, I have 24 HD channels, but no Blu Ray.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
