Intel patent attorneys kick some dirt at AMD {Engadget}
Oct 9th 2008 6:56PM I honestly don't get the complaint. I have used both Intel and equivalent AMD processors of the current and last 2 generations (luxury of helping friends fix problems), and the performance difference in very, very minor. You would only see a big difference with the Higher end chips during very processor intense situations. The lower to mid-range CPU's all come in with AMD about 7% to 15% behind (according to testing done by respectable companies), but that is ok because they average around 30% cheaper in cost. In the end, they still provide more than enough power to do anything that you would every want to do with a PC and they make up for not have the most powerful chip with low cost.
So lets all just stop the AMD bashing. It is not like they are VIA or something.

Oct 9th 2008 3:24PM Most likely that AMD is just outsourcing the fab work on the chips and will still program the logic in house. That would protect everybody's interest.
P.S. That was a reall bitch move Intel. You could have handled that in private.
Voodoo Envy 133 unboxing and impressions {Engadget}
Oct 3rd 2008 8:33PM so the only issue they really have is that the Linux Mini OS has single click set for open and not select??? I can't believe they considered that a "learning curve". I am so sorry that the Mini OS does have a control panel, but they were trying to kinda keep it small so of course it is going to me missing some features.
I think the Envy is awesome. OS-X will be installed on it sooner or later as well as every other OS. It is beautiful, sleek, packed with features, ports, etc. This to me is the only laptop I would buy for a 2k price tag.
P.S. I will find the command line prompt and change the "single click to open" option and send it to you Engadget.
Ballmer keeps talking, says Android "looks like version one" {Engadget}
Oct 2nd 2008 8:30PM I love how Microsoft brushes off new competition as, "They aren't us." No S*#t. Thanks to open source help, Andriod's version 2 will be a huge leap. Then version 3 will be plain scary to Microsoft....I a betting on about 4 months to having Microsoft slinging mud. Anybody want odds?
AMD debuts dirt cheap ATI Radeon HD 4550, HD 4350 graphics cards {Engadget}
Sep 30th 2008 3:44PM Decent? The 780G and now 780GX vastly out perform per watt any intergated chipset. To get a chipset with better video would cost you enough to justify just buying a dedicated card.

Sep 23rd 2008 3:39PM They could have at least given a free copy of a movie that came out this year.....or even last year for that matter. I mean.....Men in Black??

Sep 8th 2008 11:03AM And if it works to well and fair sized black hole is created, one capable of sustaining itself by.....you know eating our planet, this could be the greatest human failure ever. Talk about all or nothing.
Samsung kicks out SyncMaster 2243Hz and 2233Hz desktop LCDs {Engadget}
Aug 29th 2008 5:22PM No no no, you got it all wrong. They mean that you can rotation these using your magical powers. You know the magical powers that we all have. I don't know why that is new. I have been turning things for years with magic.
