Microsoft VP: "I personally got burnt" by Vista Capable stickers {Engadget}
Feb 12th 2008 4:13PM I'm confused... what's the issue here?
Didn't that internal email support Microsoft's claim, and not the opposite? The fact that a "piece of junk" can run Vista Basic is evidence that all these "Vista Capable" machines were indeed Vista Capable. Just because OEM's ignore Microsoft's recomended 1g of ram doesn't make Microsoft out to be the baddie here.
I remember when OS 10.2 Powerbooks were shipping with 256MB of Ram, that was EVEN WORSE than Vista on 512. But nobody complained or sued Apple then.
The double standard on this blog is really starting to annoy me. And for the record, I own Apple Computers as well.
16-year-old converts gas truck to electric, reminds us of our wasted youth {Engadget}
Jan 27th 2008 7:16PM If you believe what you hear on "who killed the electric car?" you shouldn't be allowed to read a gadget blog.
Sandisk stock is at 50% of what it was last year because of comoditization and Asian ripoffs, and yet these battery patents you crow about are magically keeping the entire world from building a decent EV? If the technology has already come that far, you'd see a company like Aptera starting up in every city, and even the Apple lawyers couldn't do *** about it.
Seriously Sam, you have no idea what you're talking about.
Eee PC with all the hacks, but can it ever learn to love? {Engadget}
Jan 20th 2008 6:53PM Haha... are you kidding me? I have a 700m and my brother has an EEE, the EEE destroys it hands down. It also costs less than half the price new.

AMD launches quad-core Phenom -- Intel shrugs {Engadget}
Nov 19th 2007 5:23AM To quote Tomshardware:
The Phenom 9600 is about 13.5% slower than Intel's Q6600 in our benchmarks. On the other hand, its price is also 13.6% lower than that of its direct competitor. Thus, the two products offer practically the same performance for your money.
Anandtech is smoking something to compare release day prices with stated list prices. Give it a week or two to settle down so the vendors stop gouging.
AMD launches quad-core Phenom -- Intel shrugs {Engadget}
Nov 19th 2007 3:24AM Actually, Tomshardware is labeling the spider platform + phenom a better value than the intel alternative. That's a bit better than "underwelmed."
The black box edition is going to put AMD right back into the AMD we all knew and loved back before they tried to take down intel in the high end. But for overclockers and value builders, AMD is back where they started: on top.
