YouTube pulls a Hulu -- yanking API access from Popcorn Hour (Update: Google responds)

Nov 20th 2009 1:21PM on Engadget

they're just giving us more and more reasons to use an HTPC, you can't stop us from displaying this content on our TV's you dumbasses! Its just a screen...

Boxee figured a workaround for Hulu, they'll figure one out for Youtube, but I'm just going to get a lightweight nettop that can play 1080p and thats that

@A 5 Star Dining Experience:

And how much did that cost you?

Google Wave to have its own app store

You clearly don't have a googlewave account, because live typing can't be turned off.. they might be adding it like they said in their video, but for now we can't and its REALLY lame.

Patriot's $130 Box Office 1080p media player streams on the cheap

Oct 19th 2009 10:57PM on Engadget

I'm the same, I wouldn't replace Boxee with anything. I really want to get rid of my AppleTV, but I don't need all that extra crap. Wireless N, and power for 1080p is all I need.

Institute of Mechanical Engineers: Electric cars aren't enough (w/POLL)

I agree about the eggs in one basket thing to an extent. I mean if the clear winner is EV's, but the technology just isn't there yet, then what we need is a buffer fuel. I personally hate the idea of bio-fuels (unless its made from waste), but honestly hydrogen is a good alternative, and I personally think its the best buffer.

Sure its still not ready either, but I think it will be ready before EV's are ready to go 300miles on a 5-10 minute charge. I'm sure someone here is gonna tell me I'm wrong and that with fast charging we can do that already, but there are some other factors that bug me with EV's, like the strain on the power grid, and how to pay for charging without an infrastructure that will account for this (i know hydrogen infrastructure isn't available either yet). Call me an idealist... or call me stupid haha

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
