Line Rider coming to iPhone {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 3rd 2008 10:48PM I don't remember the name of the song but it was the theme song to an anime called Cowboy Beebop. If you do a search for Cowboy Beebop theme song on google I am sure it will come up with something.
BusinessWeek: iPhone SDK to arrive late {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Feb 23rd 2008 1:33AM The Titanium Powerbook? Really? I own the original 500mhz version and it has been a great computer for me, when it was released it was definitely a giant leap forward. They did have known problems with wireless reception and week hinges though. Apple, like all computer companies has their quality control and design problems. Where they generally set themselves apart is their attention to detail and well thought out design. I think you obviously have not used any of the new MacBook Pros because those are great machines. I have really liked all of Apple's line for the last 5-6 years or so, some were better than others of course but for the most part they have been of above average quality. Leopard is amazing and since the latest update has been rock solid.
Apple hit with antitrust lawsuit {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jan 4th 2008 5:56PM You are missing a huge point of the Microsoft monopoly. They forced computer manufacturers to bundle windows with their PC's, they then bundled there own version of software (Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player etc..) and made it nearly impossible to remove this software. At the same time they made competing products perform worse and did not release certain API's publicly. Now look at apple, they sell a player, this player plays music ripped from CD's you can buy anywhere, it plays mp3 purchased anywhere, it plays AAC's purchased anywhere. The only thing that is limiting is the fact that if you purchase a song from itunes it must be played on a computer or an ipod, you can also burn it to a cd and play it in any cd player. So the big difference here is that apple is not forcing their product on you by leveraging there monopoly (like microsoft) they are just selling a popular product that happens to work with another one of their popular products, neither of which you have to buy or use.
Workaround puts auto-playlist back on Zune {Engadget}
Dec 13th 2007 4:25PM Or how about gapless playback. I don't see how you can make a music device now days without that. That to me is enough reason to not by a Zune.

Nov 22nd 2007 11:58AM Dude, why does he have to mean anything by that comment. Why don't you look at the market data and tell us if it sells out. I really doubt it will. The original blackjack was popular but it never "sold out" I don't think this phone will sell out either. There is no hype around it, most people won't even know it is new unless they go to specifically buy a new phone and then see it there. Just because someone says it won't sell out doesn't mean they are saying it is a crappy phone, they are just saying it won't sell out.
@ Surur, nowhere does the article say anything about an iPhone. You are drawing those parallels on your own. So let me get this straight, a phone with no current ad campaign, no hype, no dedicated blogs and not even the most popular of phones to begin with gets an update and because someone says that it won't sell out (which it won't) you automatically assume that they have an apple bias. Give me an f'n break. The "your an apple fanboi" comments are really getting rediculous. This is a mediocre entry level smart phone and will not sell out grow up and stop with the conspiracy theories about all the writers on this site being apple fanboi's. Even if they are that doesn't change the fact that this phone will not gather a line at 5 am of people anxtiously awaiting their new toy.
New Zunes get unboxed, reviewed, and Microsoft firms up plans {Engadget}
Nov 12th 2007 4:09PM What is wrong with wanting a product you use on a daily basis to look and feel good to the touch. People buy cars because of looks, clothes because of looks, houses because of looks. If a product has the features you want why can't looks play a big role in the purchase. I have an iPhone first because it has all the features I wanted, second because it is sexy as hell. I like having things that look nice as do most americans. Your personal opinion does not automatically override everyone else's. Just because you don't find it important doesn't mean that most people think the same way. We would all just wear the same clothes if everyone thought like you but we don't, do we.
Apple: 2 million copies of Leopard sold {Engadget}
Oct 30th 2007 11:30AM I just have one question to anyone saying leopard is a service pack. Do you even use it? I have been using leopard since friday and it is not just a service pack. I use both macs and windows computers so I know the expected features of a new os release. Leopard is definitely a new os. If you haven't used it shut the "F" up, you are talking out your ass. Everyone might not be able to take advantage of all the new features, if this is the case don't buy it, nobody is forcing you to. If you can take advantage of the many new features it is a worthy upgrade.
Getting Leopard's BSOD? Try uninstalling APE. {Engadget}
Oct 28th 2007 10:16PM This is not even close to a windows BSOD error. This is a system hack that is incompatible with a new os. When the computer boots the hack prevents the os from fully loading the blue screen is just the os load screen, not an error screen. To even compare this to windows locking up is ludacris. I don't care what OS you use but use your brain before you post nonsense trying to compare this to some of windows failures in the past. If you install a system level hack and then install a new version of an os the same day it is released, yes you will probably run into problems no matter what os you are on. Besides, this is nothing new, application enhancer has always had compatibility problems whenever the OS has a major upgrade. Remember, this is a low level system hack, not a program.
