Long Island, NY (specifically Huntington) has no problems, I just hit up engadget on the iphone with no issues at all

I am glad to read such a great eulogy of the man who inspired your life's passion. My prayers are with you Pete as well as the rest of the Rojas family.

If engadget were the type of blog that posted a one sentence apology of "sorry we fucked up," do you think it would be mentioned in the NYT? How can you bash a writer for going with an internal memo confirmed to have been received by multiple employees? That would be like the scene at the end of Vegas Vacation when Chevy Chase stares at the winning lottery ticket on the floor for like 30 seconds while a carpet sweeper almost destroys it.
And people whining that AAPL lost $4 billion of market cap yesterday need to calm down. The stock closed down .17 percent yesterday and is up 2 percent today; unless you bought AAPL on Tuesday and intended to sell it Wednesday you really need to shut the fuck up. And if you had a stop condition put on AAPL that if it fell more than 5 points to sell all your shares, 1) you are a horrible investor and 2) you are playing the short game and deserve to lose money. If you look at a 52-week graph of AAPL stock the slope is steeper than Lombard St. in San Francisco.
I applaud Ryan and any engadget staffers who agreed to run the story. keep up the excellent journalism

I will get yelled at for saying this but a TiVo Series 3 :) (before that I had the original Panasonic Showstopper so cut me some slack).

The reason you guys are the best is simple: you are great at what you do, but more importantly, you love what you do. It is obvious in the posts you make and the professionalism you show. Kudos; I hope one day to be on the other side receiving accolades from readers instead of giving them.

God bless the guy, without him his wife and kids would have not made it. He's a hero; R.I.P.

I also got the first Pearl sold in State College, Pa, and I love the hell out of it. Email is being a pain but that'll get sorted out tomorrow; most likely it's me being stupid rather than the phone. I've never seen the Tmob version in person, but when the Cingular version broke people were knocking the change in colors. I like the Cingular version, but to each his own I suppose.

Walked in yesterday at 5, 20 minutes later walked out with the only Blackberry in State College, PA.

Has anyone tried trading in their phat DS while they're at it? eBay is swelling with US lites now too.
