Navigon brings gratis real-time traffic updates to entire product line {Engadget}
Aug 28th 2008 8:03AM Navigon has the ability to make some quality shit. I had one of their systems before and the traffic combined with the real3D feature when you come up to an intersection was quality. Unfortunately, it was a few flaws like numerous periods of lag, the robotic voice, and hard to read UI that made me return it and stick with my TomTom One
Local investors step in to save Philly's WiFi network {Engadget}
Jun 17th 2008 7:28PM The problem with your idea is bandwidth. Suppose your connection 6MB. Now divide that up among 40 lechers. Businesses get hit harder since they pay more for slower speeds a lot of times. It's great in theory, but when others see that paying for their own connection is pointless - plan to foot the bill for 30 freeloaders.

Jun 17th 2008 7:25PM Now Matt, just like I commented back to Travis, I'm going to also comment back to you.
Don't insult New Jersey if you can't back your claims up... or afford to live here ;) South Philly has been in ruins for quite some time, and the revitalization effort has been too far too gone. South Street used to be thriving with cultural abundance. Now, every other store is a African hair braid store. What's left, maybe two bars and Condom Kingdom and a store which sells those stupid Killadelphia shirts? The rest is the same Italian and Irish trash that has been living there for years while those buildings you call livable begin to crumble. The only thing South Philly still has going for it, and while I certainly wouldn't call it 'yours' is the complexes.
New Jersey on the other hand has some of the top ranking education systems available. Lets see South Philly High. GreatRatings of 1/10. 13% Reading proficiency. 44% writing. and 20% Math. Your High School can't even match 1/2 of the State average! Jesus! Lets see my former High School - 9/10 and 90%. Check Vorhees, Cherry Hill, and East Bumblefuck and they're still dogging your schools. Even Woodrow Wilson (worst school in NJ) can comparably sit with your shit.
And ironic that PA just HAD to go allow gambling. Guess they were tired of AC getting all the revenue. The only reason people still travel to your shit hole part of Philly is Pat's. So don't even begin to comment North Philly (which is what happens when you racists push the poorest out) while you sit in your once-golden dump.

Jun 17th 2008 7:11PM Travis, first you did the reply wrong.
Second, just because it's on a t-shirt doesn't make it true. Killadelphia and Illadelphia rhymes in humorous fashion. I bet black people and funny white kids will buy it. The fact that you even admitted to owning two of said t-shirts makes your posts even more humorous.
Maybe you should actually take a step over the bridge and see Camden - a struggling city that really has no cultural center. It literally is sad to see one big project. To state that Philly is in such a dismal mishap is really a bronze thing of you to do. For a city with over a million people - a murder rate of 300 (or .002%) is really not that bad.
And way to play that hypocrite card by stating that South Philly is racist... "they are stupider then your avg 3rd grader". Which by the way, is you being stereotypical. Pot, meet kettle.
Oh and you've never spoken to Nutter, shut the hell up.
Anyways, in comment to the post - I'm happy to hear that Philly is getting free wifi reconsidered. I know that in Europe they have a program called Freehotspots.com which is an ad-supported free wireless internet. Unfortunately, in Italy where the law is worse then the Patriot act, you have to give all of your personal information to sign on.

Mar 17th 2008 6:59PM No wifi? Duh? It's not a smartphone. It's a midrange phone designed for media and texting.

Mar 16th 2008 2:03PM Wow, can we say u740 without the vertical flip? Pft. It looks like a nice phone, but again Motorola, how about something revolutionary. God, the RAZR was really your deathbed.
Another Xbox 360 price cut around the corner? {Engadget}
Mar 5th 2008 4:03PM Absolutely, for some reason, I just can't picture playing GTA on an Xbox 360 - the PS3 controller just is more comfortable.

Mar 5th 2008 3:56PM @Evan,
You mean... members that are at an a/v form care aboue Blu-Ray? Let me go get you the Duh Stick! How about the average person? I don't have an HDTV and evne if I did, playing blu-ray movies doesn't get me all that excited. What people want is not going to be calculated what the nerds want on an A/V form.
I want great games from a GAME CONSOLE. Sony just hasn't sold me on that yet. Nintendo's Wii is FUN to play, but I'm worried about the single player value. The Xbox 360 has a great LIVE system set up and quality titles like Call of Duty and Halo. For the price, PS3 could do a whole lot better :( Maybe with more titles coming out I'll consider, but I can go ahead and clearly declare Nintendo the winnre of this console generation.
Microsoft speculates on ad-supported Sync {Engadget}
Mar 3rd 2008 12:06AM "And with that statement, I'm disregarding anything you're going to say because you're clearly out of your mind."
That was the point of the statement - to make an obviously ridiculous statement about how the ads will be implemented. The obvious method is to implement them as Points of Interest - which I'm completely against! I don't need McDonalds and Foot Locker flashing across my navigation just because I'm driving down freeway.
