Hey, Google: failing to spellcheck Android 2.0 can have 'undesireable consequences' {Engadget}
Nov 11th 2009 12:38PM No, he sends him a letter... an 'i'. And he asks for his 'e' back.
Adobe engages Apple in passive aggressive warfare with iPhone's Flash message {Engadget}
Nov 2nd 2009 4:22PM Part of me wants to join the fight to get Flash on the iPod... but a much larger part of me would rather join Apple and fight to GET FLASH OFF THE DAMN INTERNET ALTOGETHER!
Bona fide exercise bike abuses Wiimote accessory license... badly {Engadget}
Oct 14th 2009 12:36PM I agree, it's not so different from the Tacx I-Magic Trainer. But I'd rather it was just a turbo trainer and not a whole exercise bike.
Wi-Fi Direct enabling P2P communications amongst WiFi wares, scaring Bluetooth half to death {Engadget}
Oct 14th 2009 7:57AM Am I missing something? I thought bluetooth was great... the one unifying standard. But now we're celebrating that 'at last' there is something else?
Whetever next, they'll be complaining about USB's dominance soon...
Microsoft giving Europeans with Windows XP and Vista choice of browser, too {Engadget}
Jul 29th 2009 2:23AM Well said WS.
The average user is the kind of person who starts their browsing sessions by typing google.com in the address bar, then typing the name of the site they want in the google search box. They don't know how to set their home page, far less the search engine. And they don't even know, or care, what Internet Explorer is, they think their browser is 'Google'. I bet if you asked IE users what browser they use, half wouldn't be able to tell you, it's just 'The Internet' to most people. The same as they don't know that the Windows environment is actually just a program called 'explorer.exe', and they could change that too if they wanted.
WD ships industry's first 2.5-inch 1TB hard drive {Engadget}
Jul 27th 2009 6:26AM 2.5inch by 12.5mm gives a frontal area of 31.25mm-inches. I dread to think what the volume is... 46.9mm-inch-hands maybe?
Video: Burger King tests MotionPower kinetic energy harvester {Engadget}
Jul 15th 2009 6:04PM I think what they mean is that it will be generating 30kW at the end of the first hour, 60kW after the second, 90kW after the third and so on until it is generating enough power to halt the country's dependancy on foreign oil.

Jul 15th 2009 5:59PM Why don't they install treadmills instead? That would have multiple benefits.
Even better would be a Gladiators style reverse travelator at the entrance to the place.

a) Their customers
b) Some other mystery fund
Ask Engadget: What's the best nettop out there now? {Engadget}
Jul 10th 2009 8:16AM I had never heard the term Nettop before either, and even the link in the article itself is dead. If no articles have even been tagged nettop on engadget it's hardly a mainstream term.
But yeah, if you don't know, google.
