Do we get a cool handle like "Soap?"

Pogoplug second generation debuts, coming this holiday with enhanced web interface

802.11n, especially operating in the 5Ghz band, provides a lot more bandwidth than 54Mbps of 802.11g.

I understand that for the most optimal solution, you'd want to have a NAS connected via gigabit ethernet wherever you can, but that doesn't mean that they should not give the choice to people who can't run wired ethernet all over the house. My point is, with my Airport Extreme, I have a NAS that I can access from either gigabit connected computers or my notebook wirelessly in one box. The pogoplug requires a second box, where it really doesn't have to... the price of a wireless chipset is dropping so fast that it doesn't make any sense for it not to have one.

Still doesn't have any kind of Wifi... c'mon guys. Something like an Apple Airport Extreme has NAS capability + 802.11n, albeit without the openness and expandability of the pogoplug.

Developers frustrated with ESRB cheaters

I know! Over Halloween weekend, I watched Batman and Batman Returns. In one scene he totally blows a goon up with a bomb. Gahh!

That's true... there are psychopaths in the asylum and lots of people die in the course of the game, but it's worth pointing out that Batman does not kill. He is very unique among action adventure protagonists in this regard... compared to Batman, Nathan Drake, with his massive body count, is a genocidal maniac...

Actor's Twitter hints at inFamous lead recasting

He was the Prince in the latest Prince of Persia game. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't disconnect the voice from that of Nathan Drake. That was one of the many things that turned me off of that game.

A.U.T.O. lobbyist Veronica Moss visits, hates the new Times Square [w/VIDEO]

The new Times Square does look very nice now that there's no car traffic. I'd say it's a win-win for pedestrians and drivers alike.

BBC's 'The Big Questions' tackles Modern Warfare 2

This is the most idiotic response from that discussion :

TV agony aunt Jennifer Trent-Hughes said that witnessing a video of the airport section made her cry.
“I felt sick to my stomach and I was frightened,” she said. “People are screaming, there’s blood splattering all over the screen. It is absolutely awful. I sat there with my son, who’s 15, and he was like [covers eyes].”

The game clearly is labeled either MA or 18 and above only on the box. Why did she let her son watch a clip from it? Because she assumed that all video games are for kids?

People need to stop treating every video game like a childrens' toy.

Rumor: MW2 recalled in Russia due to 'No Russian' scene [update]

Nov 16th 2009 12:25PM on Joystiq

I think I agree with you on the level... moreover, I'm more than a little jaded by the over-the-topness of the whole plot of MW2. It requires an uncomfortable suspension of disbelief that COD4 didn't require. COD4 seemed more grounded in reality while MW2 is like a waking Cold War nightmare.

Also, without spoiling too much, in this game, the US isn't exactly depicted in the purest of light either.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
