The TwitterPeek is... a Peek for Twitter? {Engadget}
Oct 27th 2009 7:11PM This is an excellent idea. Too bad too many people are unable to separate the functionality of Twitter and how Twitter is being used (as is evident by the posts here).
I can see TwitterPeek being used for stock quotes, weather, news, etc. The only downside is the $200 pricetag for "lifetime". Not too bad if lifetime=5 years. But if lifetime=10 months.... ouch.
Zune HD stops syncing playcounts with nary a firmware fix in sight {Engadget}
Oct 27th 2009 12:27PM Not in this case. This is not related to mistagged tracks. This has been confirmed (by Microsoft) to happen with tracks that are correctly tagged.
Zune HD stops syncing playcounts with nary a firmware fix in sight {Engadget}
Oct 27th 2009 12:26PM There is room for doubt because in the past there have been firmware issues that have gone unresolved. Actually, there are some (like video description scrolling bug) that remain unfixed for the non-HD Zune devices for 2 years.
How would you change Microsoft's Zune HD? {Engadget}
Oct 9th 2009 11:50PM Things that I would change:
* Add sleep timer.
* Add on-device support for Smart DJ. (rather than creating a SmartDJ playlist and sync it)
* Add on-device playlist creation.
* Add customizable EQ.
* Add support for on-device html files. (handy ebook/reference)
* Give everyone who purchased the gimped out HD AV dock a freebie for putting up with the completely stupid design of what works and doesn't when the HD is docked.
Sony adopts Chrome as default browser for VAIO line {Engadget}
Sep 1st 2009 9:44AM Chrome is NOT faster than Firefox+adBlock for pages and sites with ads.
Sony adopts Chrome as default browser for VAIO line {Engadget}
Sep 1st 2009 9:43AM I love my Vaio NW. Can't stand Chrome. I promptly removed it (and google updater that comes with it). Without plugins (especially ad blockers) Chrome is less useful and slower than Firefox 3.x.
Creative Zii EGG orders being processed, will ship by the end of the month {Engadget}
Aug 24th 2009 6:34PM We really won't be able to tell until both devices are released. But based on the incomplete information at this time, the Zii EGG looks to be more appealing. Ability to use SD cards and not being tied to a particular sync software will be welcomed differentiators. And if Creative is true to their history, the Zii EGG will support a wider range of codecs than the ZuneHD.
PS3 Slim: Mockup vs. reality {Joystiq}
Aug 18th 2009 4:49PM It is a shame that the PS3 slim will not have the features of the older high-end models... PS2 BC (software or hardware), 4 USB ports, and media card reader are very handy.
Sony VAIO NW unboxing and hands-on {Engadget}
Jul 27th 2009 6:49PM I just picked this one up (in bronze) to replace my fine Toshiba a305. I LIKE the wood-grain texture! And it matches my G1. Every surface of the a305 is highly glossy and very annoying. The VAIO NW has a nice clean look to it that I really appreciate.
Peek cuts Peek Classic, Peek Pronto prices to $19.95 and $59.95 {Engadget}
Jul 17th 2009 12:17PM The price of the device itself was always a secondary concern, it was the monthly charge that was the deal killer. I think that a $5/month service fee would really draw some attention.
