Liheee... Nuhoox!

And if that's not an option... Then switch to Firefox!

"...that demographic"? Please, elaborate further on this subject!

And also, Dell has been known to sell this little thing called Ubuntu Linux.

Wait a minute...

How do they know how many pages are being blocked?

Well this is because you Americans screw us, rest of the world, with things like Pandora and Hulu...

Pegatron's Ubuntu-equipped netbook spotted in the wild

Nov 23rd 2009 12:07AM on Engadget

Please, what's this "oversaturated netbook market" you speak about? It's a term that I have heard more than once in two days (or actually read, whatever). Yes, there is a lot of them. No, most of them might look the same but there are subtle differences (some go Atom, some go Atom + ION, some go ARM), size is another factor, battery life, and oh well the fact that there's not a lot of them running Ubuntu.

Why does this matter? Because if it's sub $200 and delivers the same usability and capabilities of the above $450 Windows counterparts, then it's DIFFERENT.

Calling all WebOS Developers: Tell us about your Apps!

Would Palm reconsider the name of the OS for Latin America and Spain? Ask anyone from those regions for the meaning.

3D websites here we go?

I challenge anyone out there to create a design that's attractive when you are not using the glasses (usable at least) and 3D when you do.

How would you achieve it? That's your trouble now!

T-Mobile cautiously resumes Sidekick sales at lower prices

So, just so we know before we get (or not) one of this... Did they really got all, if not most, of their consumer's data back from oblivion or not?

Since perception is important, average consumers will not be drawn to this unless they issue a full formal explanation on what happened, how did they tried to solve it, how did they fail the first time, and how is that not going to be an issue in the future.

Rejoice, surfers! Bing it up with free WiFi access across the US

I, in turn, would not use Bing even if Microsoft paid for my Internet.

It would certainly be a conflict of interest for anybody that writes about things related to Microsoft (unless reporting on the experience of such offering of course).

But hey, who is going to know, ri... oh ok, THEM! :P

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
