I knew you wouldn't let me down Mario my old friend.

Airlines want to offer iTunes for inflight iPod downloads

Firstly every plane I've been on the stewards go out of their way to tell you to turn off portable devices or indeed anything that has come into close contact with a battery. Now they want to fill the plane full of people using such devices?

Secondly this had better be free, I know what these companies are like - once they see an inch they take a mile. If they can screw you for a few more dollars to 'hire' the entertainment they will. I mean, what else can you do on long-haul except consume second rate movies and repeats of tv shows you spent good time avoiding the first time.

That could just be me being a pessimist though. Oh and I agree with the guy above, those planes sure are flying close :)

Blueado's m5e Media Center PC

Yup looks like the Aopen Cube mini to me too (http://xc.aopen.com.tw/CubeProduct-mini.aspx?type=22&names=Cube%20Mini&adauno_t=78) you can pick these up in the UK from suppliers like Aria (http://www.aria.co.uk/ProductInfoComm.asp?ID=18392) for about �170, but you'll need to add your own CPU etc. I've got a couple of thier original 'full suze' cubes which are great value for money and quiet too.

LaCie Rugged "all-terrain" portable drive

Jan 17th 2006 6:48AM on Engadget

I'm with #8, I had a Lacie drive for less than 12 months and surprise surprise it died. Emails to Lacie gave me no response, so I packed the drive up and sent it back to the MD. Didn't hear a thing in response (again, little surprise). Perhaps 'rugged' in Lacie's definition means 'lasts past 12 months'. To use ebay phraseology "Negative: Bad seller, avoid!".

Seagate downloads Maxtor for $2 billion

Dec 22nd 2005 10:09AM on Engadget

Wow so Seagate buys out the competition just minutes before we all switch to flash drives, way to go. Let's face it in a few years Samsung will probablly swallow everyone up.

Personally I've had nothing but good experiences with Maxtor, cheap, fast and reliable much like any hard drive as long as you treat it with a bit of care and operate within thermal limits. It's very easy to bake a hard drive in modern PCs.

I did wonder why maxtor shares had shot up by over 100% in the last couple of months now I know...

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a wireless trackpad to use with my older (2.5 or so years old) C2D MacBook that's perpetually docked to my home theater. Something sleek, thin, not too small, made of high quality materials. Ideally, it would natively support all of (Snow) Leopard's multitouch inputs, and even more ideally, it would have a charging dock / base. The only problem is that I'm not sure that such a thing even exists. Think you can throw me a bone?"
