C'mon. You should have gotten on your high-horse while Lucent still owned the place. It's a building, for Christ's sake, and not an especially attractive one as places go. Put up a plaque or something, but don't ask somebody to buy the place and then demand they lose money on it by turning it into a museum nobody will go to.
Some points:

1. Many gaming "journalists" are little more then PR outlets for the gaming industry. They do a diservice to their readers by simply reprocessing press releases, and avoiding writing anything that could potentially upset their sources (i.e. the gaming industry PR departments).
2. Real journalists do not rely on PR departments for their "news". Real journalists do not go out of their way to upset the companies they report on BUT also do not avoid reporting news simply because it upsets companies being covered.
3. Many gaming "journalists" are afraid to report news or reviews that might upset the companies being covered, because it might lead to them being refused entry to press conferences, after-conference parties, and cause them not to get swag after the party (you do know that PR companies give some sweet gifts to industry journalists, don't you?).

Any time a journalist stands up for their readers and reports news without letting themselves be pushed around by those being reported about is reason to applaud. Thanks, joystiq, for taking a stand on this.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new laptop, and I want a 13-incher. I need something with a great keyboard for typing, as this will mostly be used for note taking in class. I am absolutely smitten with the XPS 13, but I'm afraid that with its age Dell is going to give it an update soon. Any advice for someone in my shoes?"
