EZfetch Wireless HD Digital Media Player gets reviewed {Engadget HD}
Feb 18th 2008 8:32PM Another review written by a novice. Every time I see complaints in an article about about the smoothness of rewind and glitches streaming HD over wireless networking, I take the rest of the review it an enormous grain of salt. What's next, dinging the quality of the appliance's video for MPEG artifacts in the encoded content? Seriously, how do these clowns get jobs reviewing hardware?
Vista SP1 doesn't significantly boost performance, slows down certain tasks {Engadget}
Feb 13th 2008 9:00PM *sigh* I guess being constantly subjected to everybody's childish whining about Vista is karma for whining about 2000 and XP when they came out. "Windows 98 SE forever!"
Dell Latitude E-series leaked {Engadget}
Feb 1st 2008 10:30PM When is Dell going to catch a clue and start adding real resolutions to their laptops. At least me WSXGA+ an option, Dell! I understand that it is not for everyone, but I for one am tired of needlessly scrolling and tweaking my browser into oblivion to get pages to fit properly. Apparently I'm in the vast minority since because Dell continues to sell millions of latitudes , despite their woefully deficient graphics.
AgfaPhoto intros new Linux-based, WiFi-equipped digital photo frame {Engadget}
Jan 11th 2008 4:41PM "i hate digi photo frames..."
I don't know if I'd go as far as all that, but this one certainly doesn't do anything for me.
Did you apply for your TV converter box coupons yet? {Engadget}
Jan 3rd 2008 11:20AM As I read this, I glance over to the left where I see my analog TV and laserdisc player (in my basement no less) gathering dust. [nonchalantly pretends to stretch while looking for hidden cameras.]
Phosphor E Ink watch giveaway (part 1) {Engadget}
Dec 20th 2007 12:16AM Miniature sundial, and it makes reaching into my pocket with my left hand a nightmare.
Enermax Caesar metal-clad keyboard up in your grill {Engadget}
Dec 11th 2007 2:09AM I'm actually somewhat intrigued as well. But this is definitely something I wouldn't be sight unseen, and good luck finding this in our local retailer. (Especially since CompUSA will be gone.)
TiVo now offering Music Choice content to subscribers {Engadget}
Dec 6th 2007 1:26PM Sirius / XM (post merger) would be ideal. The best of the music channels (hopefully without commercials) combined with the best of all the talk and sports.
After that, all I would need is some good downloadable HD content and I'd be all set.
Michael Bay's format war conspiracy theory: it's a Microsoft fix {Engadget}
Dec 4th 2007 10:26PM Michael Bay's entire claim to fame is making mediocre movies with big budget action that have NEVER come even CLOSE to delivering on their potential. He has never even been NOMINATED for a serious award and is 3 time Razzie award nominee for "Worst Director". The guy makes schlocky, action films with enormous budgets, thin plots, non-existent character development and action scenes that make it impossible for any reasonable person over the age of 19 to suspend belief. (And I'm including Transformers, which had awesome special effects, a couple of hot young girls but little else.)
So frankly I don't care what this tool has to say about the format war. If anything, HD-DVD is going to rule the HD disc roost because the people that can't afford a high-speed line for online-delivered content aren't going to throwing away wads of cash for a "superior" format that doesn't provide a superior experience since both formats have wasted space on them.
Ion V2000: the DIY all-in-one 19-incher {Engadget}
Nov 20th 2007 8:51PM Are we even sure that this product is real? Visit their site and there is no mention. Nor is there any other product that is even remotely similar. It's all IR camera systems.
And if it were in black and being sold for a reasonable price, I'd consider it.
If you don't need it to be TOO small, you can always look at something like these:
