Rupert Murdoch staying out of the e-reader business, Red Eye sadly still on the air {Engadget}
Jul 10th 2009 11:14AM Yeah, he has fake crying (seriously, have you ever seen him do it, it's unbelievable), psychotic conspiracy mode (FEMA death camps in Georgia! and a man on his show, in a clip that never aired, who claimed Chinese restaurants were sleeper cells for the Chinese governments planned overthrow of the US) and just plan incoherent rambling.
I doubt anyone watching his show would want an e-reader anyway, because it's probably just a secret, communist designed tracking device, developed by Obama in partnership with the Soviet Government in exile (it's in exile and waiting, did you know that?) which will track all of your reading habits, and trace your whereabouts from space. Slowly the device will change your Fox News stories into stories about how great the Bolsheviks were, molding your mind into their favor as part of Obama's giant. lifelong conspiracy! Then, if you refuse to believe it, sputnik, which has been upgraded with lasers, will shoot you with a death ray from space, eliminating all opposition.
Then, Lenin, who's been sandbagging it the whole time, will wake from his tomb and conquer earth with Obama serving as vice president of the Politburo! You will also all be forcefully converted to Islam, for some reason, Muhaha.
Do I even need to type /end sarcasm here? I'm sure I do for Glen Beck followers ;)
13-year-old trades iPod for Walkman, reports on mysterious ancient artifact {Engadget}
Jun 29th 2009 10:03AM I'm 26 and this makes me feel really old! One year for Christmas all I wanted was a Walkman so I could listen to my :cough, cough: MC Hammer tapes anywhere I wanted. Before laughing keep in mind he was well respected in 1990-91! Anyway, I got my walkman and I used to run around outside listening to that thing non stop. I couldn't believe how great it was to be able to take my music with me.
Then I remember getting one of the early discman(men?) in 1994, skip tastic experience is all I can say and quite a lumbering beast of a device, bigger than my old walkman was lol.
The fact that this device is now so ancient a 13-year-old has never even seen one, shocks me incredibly, although I guess it shouldn't. Hey, when I was a kid I listened to my parents vast record collection so I knew how records worked even though cassettes had beaten them out at that point, no excuse on the tapes kids!
Linksys announces WRT160NL Linux-powered media sharing router {Engadget}
Jun 23rd 2009 2:16PM Those of you that have this, do you like it better than Linksys' current antennaless offerings? I have been using an old Linksys Wireless G Router for years due to its stability, but I've been hesitant to upgrade to any N router as I always fine tons of negative reviews on all but the most expensive. And the antennaless current Linksys models not only have drop horror stories, but overheating horror stories as well. Curious if they got it right this time?

Logitech's Flight System G940 joystick almost replaces flight school {Engadget}
Jun 3rd 2009 12:00PM Look for the IL2 Sturmovik follow up, Battle of Britain. It's possibly the slowest coming flight sim of all time, but the IL2 series was the best WWII flight sim experience ever, so with a technical/graphics upgrade, BoB should be astounding when it finally is released.
Guitar Hero 5 makes room for four drummers, axe slingers or screamers {Engadget}
May 15th 2009 3:46PM Yeah, you know who will want to play this by cloning Sting and replacing the other Police with Sting? Sting!

Informal poll suggests nearly 70% of Kindle owners are over 40 {Engadget}
May 1st 2009 11:44AM Yeah I think you are right. There are a few things going on here, one, people in my age group (I'm 26) don't read much anymore, two, none of them have enough money to buy a Kindle. Personally I still prefer books, I have some historic ones, for example, that will never be on a Kindle and I just like the idea of having a physical library, which is rather large at this point. So maybe I'm in a weird group of my own that's young and likes reading (99.9% history books), likes physical books and has enough money to buy a Kindle, but doesn't want one.
