Wii developer kit shot in the wild, many Luigi-green with envy {Engadget}
Sep 16th 2006 10:04AM Pfft, after the catastrophe that was the Nintendo Wii Europe Event followed of course by the news that the Wii is not region free, I wen't in a matter of days from being an avid Wii fanboy to completely and utterly disinterested.
I also know that I am not alone in this. Many, especially Europeans, are just sick of the rape. I mean, at £133 for GameCube technology + some sensors, even Japan is getting extorted.
Theft.

Sep 15th 2006 2:28PM lol, I had decided not to buy when I thought it was gonna be £150 and released on November 19th like in the US.
£180 on December 7th?
I'll get a higher specced MacBook instead mate.
gj Nintendo, you actually managed to turn the greatest come-back in gaming history into a PR disaster only slightly less catastrophic than Sony's.
Fucking morons.

Nintendo Wii: November 19th, $250 {Engadget}
Sep 14th 2006 5:15AM For what's in the box, £100 would be pushing it tbh. I love the thing, and I don't give a shit about graphics, but flogging dated hardware at this price is extortion.
Nintendo Wii: November 19th, $250 {Engadget}
Sep 14th 2006 3:12AM I hope this is wrong. $250 is too expensive for this hardware. November 19th is too late for what could easil be shipped at the end of this month.
If it's true, it's not so much bad news, as utterly mundane, unexciting and anticlimatic news that will really take the wind out of the Wii's sales.
And Dec 1st in Japan? Wtf? Makes me wonder how badly we Europeans are gonna get screwed...

China orders "iPod City" to establish labor union {Engadget}
Sep 2nd 2006 4:53AM It's good to see people here actually know their political history. More than on most sites I have to say. Engadget readers; I'm impressed.
China was never a communist "nation"; for a short period it was in the state of revolution which by and large consisted of numerous groups, led predominantly by a Communist Party, were fighting to rid the country of autocracy and replace it with socialism.
Of course, as happened in Russia and Cuba, what we eventually saw was the hijacking of the revolution as it became clear the current ruling class was on it's way out, and so Mao and his cronies simply took their place.
There's nothing remotely communist about China. There's very little democracy in China, there's a ruling class, and workers don't control the means of production; the three basic definitions of communism.
Britain is a more communist country than China, and that's saying something.
Anyway, I hope this union can withstand the pressures of the ACFTU, which will no doubt try and tip this in favour of the transnational corps, usually at the expense of worker livelihoods.
Yep, the CCP really are the most enthusiastic capitalists in the world.
Foxconn folds under pressure, drastically declaws lawsuit {Engadget}
Aug 31st 2006 10:21AM I love Apple products and always have.
But if Apple is mistreating or underpaying workers, and if Foxconn is trying to defame the journalists who have revealed it, I wan't the fucking book thrown at the both of them so hard they won't dare do anything like it again.
Sleek mp3 players is one thing, but the livelihoods of human beings is another.
