I have to go with Orange...just so I can abbreviate it as "O.J."
I don't see any "Any" key!
I call the big one "Bitey".
Ahhh! Four minutes left!

Last ditch comment FTW...
Oh my, quite a nice Wii you have Engadget.
I really hope I win this.

Favorite current game? It'd have to be Gears, which I played on a friend's xbox. One of my own would be quite nice, Engadget.

Listen, stop acting like the iPod is so superior to the Zune. It's a matter of preference as far as the interface is concerned, and I like both and was surprised by how good the Zune was. The Zune has a bigger, albeit same-res screen, and while wireless sharing is for lack of a better term a piece of shit, it's not like the iPod has anything better. The only really viable reasons to choose iPod over Zune are;

A) you prefer the iPod interface
B) you enjoy buying/have bought iTunes content
C) You realize the Zune software is spawned from the depths of hell.
D) if you really appreciate the ubiquity of Made for iPod accessories

I had an 80GB iPod for a good while, only to have it (along with about $1500 dollars of other tech shit) stolen earlier this year. I got an open box Zune for $145 and it was a good buy, I like it a lot. I have owned an mp3 player forever, starting with Creative players (used to own a 6GB monster Nomad that ran on four AAs), and the Zune is the best I have used yet, barring the iPod, which I find I like just as much, despite the fact that the scroll wheel is a bit wonky when I use it.
I liked 300 a lot, but it was not as amazing as advertised. I guess my favorite part was the slow motion battle scene near the beginning, right after Leonidas talks to the Athenians.

I guess what I'm saying is; give me an Xbox 360 right now.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What's the best gaming laptop for under 1,500 bucks? I had my eye on the P7805u (Gateway), but it seems Best Buy has run out for the time being. Also, as a secondary question, I like the specs on brands such as iBUYPOWER and CyberPower and the like, but are they reliable? I'm a little worried about buying labels that aren't huge like Dell, Gateway, etc. Thanks!"
