New Win 7 ads highlight the bright ideas of 'regular people' (video)

Oct 22nd 2009 12:31PM on Engadget

No seriously. The girl on the top right. What's wrong with her mouth? Its like she doesn't have enough face skin to close her mouth all the way. Its nothing but all teeth where lips should be. Imagine waking up next to that after drinking too much. The last thing I would be thinking would be "Is she a mac or pc user?"

FCC to propose new net neutrality rules disallowing data discrimination

Sep 18th 2009 5:11PM on Engadget

Fatima: GOOD!

Force ATT to and make them suffer because obviously they aren't spending the $80 a month I send them to upgrade their network!

'Skanks' Blogger Sues Google for $15M for Divulging Identity

Aug 25th 2009 2:37PM on Switched.com

It may seem frivolous but its a dangerous precedent for anonymous whistle blowers. What if you worked for a company who did something unethical behind the scenes and you were afraid to come out because you would loose your job?

What if lived in a country that was China or Iran and they sued Google in a US court to get the identity of the person who lived in their borders so they can arrest them and send them to a prison far worse than a US one?

Our fathers wanted anonymity allowed for all citizens so they could speak their mind without reprisal and for good reason even it meant dealing with liars and trolls.

Telecom companies to have their day in front of the FCC

Aug 21st 2009 12:18PM on BloggingStocks

Hey beanspants, the cell phone spectrum is owned by the US public and licensed to the cell phone companies by the FCC so they get to tell cell phone companies what they get to do with the spectrum.

Its basically like leasing out a national park to a logging company. The government gets to tell the loggers how they can log and who else can help them etc.

Funnily enough this has to do a lot with interstate trade so it is covered by the constitution.

Serious Money: What to do with $25,000

Aug 13th 2009 3:47PM on BloggingStocks

Nonsense.

All the funds and financial companies who are using technicals are bleeding money.

Only those who have massive systems that are border line artificial intelligence can use technical like Goldman Sachs and they win out because they can beat people on shear speed and computation power.

Don't BS yourself. The average user will never have connection to the markets fast enough to beat GS at technicals.

Either you going to have to play with it speculation or earnings and research. Technicals is the alchemy of the 21st century.

As the author advises playing ETFs is not a bad way to go because you are playing long term and not trying to beat the technicals.

World's first waterproof solar cellphone from Sharp makes Somalian pirates say arggg!

Apr 20th 2009 1:47PM on Engadget

Strangely enough, Somalia is known for it booming cell phone business:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_in_Somalia

It turns out that when the civil war broke out, looters tore down all the public phone companies wires to sell leaving no phone service whatsoever.

Entrepreneurs (backed by warlords who wanted cell phone service) set up shops with home brew cell phone towers all over. Considering it is the only way to communicate with someone there (besides ham radio) it is rather popular amoung Somalians much more so than any other African nation.

Great news: Auto industry considering prepackaged bankruptcy

That's nice, but we haven't been in a free market society since the 1930s. It would be nice to start, but I'd don't think it really anything more than idealism at this point to say otherwise.

One could just include the government is also the market when they talk about free market policies and rationalize it that way.

Makes sense to me.

$700 billion is real money!

Sep 24th 2008 2:35PM on BloggingStocks

Real as in real fiat money printed by the Fed.

Seriously, they printed $4 trillion for the war, then can print $1 trillion more for this. Of course if China and Japan stop buying US treasury then we're hosed. It silly to think its tax payer money anymore. The only reason people are taxed is to make them think money is valuable or something.

Not that I agree with the methods, but anyone upset that the government is spending "their money" doesn't realize that the Fed just prints more when they need it anyways. Really, all they are asking for is to get their debt limit increased.

Bubbles and fries: Burger King employee takes bath in kitchen sink

Aug 12th 2008 3:03PM on BloggingStocks

This is lame. What does this have to do with Burger King's stock price or finacials? Its not like rogue employees have done worse and if you play people minimum wage you aren't going to be able to pay for psychological exams like the DoD does.

If it was the CEO or upper managment taking a bath in the sink... Well maybe it would be worth posting here but this crap belongs on drama blogs. Not stock related ones.

FCC finally getting around to slapping Comcast (CMCSA)

Aug 2nd 2008 2:10PM on BloggingStocks

What Scott Wee said.

Its not that Comcast is throttling, its that they are advertising an "all you can eat" broad band product. If they were upfront that the service was limited, then they wouldn't be having this problem. Secondly, peer to peer services often relate to legal services such as Linux distributions and some 3rd party services like World of Warcraft where data is distrubted legally via BitTorrent clients.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
