Is there anyway to change my timezone on Engadget to suit my time? It's annoying cuz it'll say I posted this at 4:50pm when I'm actually posting this at 9:50pm!

Yay it works.

Why doesn't my avatar work? I've tried it twice now.
Phone looks sweet but the O.S. doesn't.
I really hope that made-for-ChromeOS computers have keyboards that do away with F1 to F12 buttons and other unnecessary-for-Chrome buttons.
You had some good questions with Bamford - but he was the focus of the show and you really should have had him on for longer. This is my main concern with this episode. You could have also had a Q&A thing with him and the audience.

The China Town bit was fun to watch because it was quite unexpected and short. You brought Nilay and Paul was too early on in the show, they usually come on stage in the last segment of the show but this time it was before the half way point. It was good to have a 4th editor but he overextended his stay. 4 people on stage seems to be too much all at once. I look forward to watching the Engadget Show but you guys spent way too much time demonstrating video games this time. This dragged on for too long, you could have showed just a minute of each and that would have been fine.

It annoyed me that they used a MBP to demonstrate the Sling Box when they could have used that Dell Adamo, which has native Windows! Additionally, Josh seemed to talk way too much, it became tiresome.

The downloading thing was very messy - it got to 200-300mb but then self terminated, twice. Eventually I thought screw this, I'll just watch it straight from the Flash player on HD, which loaded fine and all. But when I played it on full screen, it seemed a bit laggy - I then went into task manager and set my browser process' priority to High but it did not help. I have a 2+GHz Core 2 Duo processor, a lot of RAM, decent graphics card AND it still lagged - What the hell is up with that?

The first half of the show was great, the second part got slightly boring but still watchable because of the editors. There was a lot of filler in the second half, which is where it went downhill. Music was shit and the the free handouts segment did not get shown! The picture quality was great, the camera direction was satisfactory, main guest was great. Advice: Don't drag things on for too long.

2.75 out of 5 stars.
Now we have to click on the arrow saying how many replies there are every single time? I like to read all comments, but having to click on each and every comment with replies is very annoying, both on a desktop O.S. and especially a mobile O.S.!
The Sprint Hero IS ugly. I'm glad that piece of shit design is limited to a perimeter faraway from here.

Now on the other hand, my UK Hero is very sleek.
Two sim card slots isn't enough.
Jewelry and Jewellery are both correct, although while typing this I see a dotted red line under the latter spelling, which happens to be the British one.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
