Hands-on with Kodak's latest and greatest {Engadget}
Jul 10th 2008 6:20PM Yes, in fact every time Engadget posts an article on anything, it first must get in bed with the company involved. This requires every staff member to maintain a vast closet of Jammies and bunny slippers so that they may always be prepared for their next article and sleep in.
Yahoo! releases Messenger for Mac 3.0 {Download Squad}
Sep 7th 2007 5:01PM Has photo sharing been enabled? Drives me nuts when talking to people on a mac and they don't have that great option.
Backpack Preview 3: You can finally move items between pages! {Download Squad}
Jul 23rd 2007 6:40PM You know what I'd really like to see in DLS? I'd love it if you writers would take just a few weeks to attend a basic journalism class to learn how to actually write the kind of articles you do. All to often when I read posts on here I'm left with a feeling of huh???
Is that the feeling you are intending to leave your readers with?
The first rule of writing is to at least answer the question What? Not once in your article do you even explain what backpack is, so I have no idea why I should care. I'm glad you and other users of it are happy its updated, but you have already lost me by the first paragraph cause I have no clue what it is or why I should bother reading further.
It takes so little time at all to say, Backpack, the ____ software used by ___ and then go on. But this and more then a few articles on here seem to forget the importance of such a main statement.
Oh well. Thankfully other sites on Weblogs network are written much more effectively.
Driver follows GPS onto pedestrian walkway, into cherry tree {Engadget}
Jul 21st 2007 6:11PM Face it some men are just trained to listen to a female voice regardless of their own thoughts to the contrary... Repeat after me.. "But Honey..........."
Casio's 12 megapixel Exilim Zoom EX-Z1200 {Engadget}
May 21st 2007 11:25AM Awesome! I was just complaining to my girlfriend the other day that there wasn't enough noise and smearing in my photos as is. THANK you Casio!
Yahoo! launches web-based Yahoo! Messenger {Download Squad}
May 3rd 2007 12:11PM While this seems to be more of a full featured web client, yahoo has always had a web version of their messenger available at wap.oa.yahoo.com. While mostly for mobile phones/pda's i've found it to be great for use on my colleges campus that blocks the regular yahoo messenger from signing in.
Britepic turns your puppy into an ad {Download Squad}
Apr 11th 2007 12:36PM I'm sick to death of ads. While reading a book yesterday I was struck by the revelation that it was so wonderful that I had just read 100 pages of truly enjoyable content and not once was it broken up by some flashy, blinking, glowing, BUY ME BUY ME BUY ME ad. I didn't have to jump whole paragraphs, or turn to page so-and-so cause there was a big 2 page ad in the center, and I didn't have anything glowing or floating or saying click here.
It was truly refreshing to go back to a medium where content was "clean." I can understand why the web has taken the magazine tract and become inundated with advertising, but at the same time, that doesn't mean I have to like it.
LAPD's blinding new flashlights too light to beat suspects {Engadget}
Apr 2nd 2007 1:40PM It's true. We trust the LAPD officers to carry and utilize Assault rifles, shotguns, pistols, batons and tasers, but we don't trust them enough to let them carry heavy flashlights.
*Sigh*
Sony's DSC-H7 / DSC-H9 CyberShots get official, pack 15x optical zoom {Engadget}
Feb 27th 2007 12:33PM Hmm, Memory Stick/Pro Duo only, no RAW, no hotshoe, proprietary batteries instead of AAs, 2.2fps, no movie mode is no big deal to me, but I think i'll wait to see how the image quality turns out especially with a 15x lens and if there are any noise issues. Wonder what Canon's S4 IS will do to counter this and the new Oly?
