Keep going, guys. Keep driving people into free content. Do they actually bother to do any testing?

How's it going to distinguish between ice covered pavement and just freezing cold pavement?

Hackers embed flashing animations on epilepsy support forum

Yeah, honestly, these epilepsy pranks have been all over the net for over a decade now. Hasn't anyone written an extension that blocks flashing content?

Damn that link. You made me notice a dead pixel and now I can't stop looking at it.

HTC Shift hands-on

Mar 28th 2008 9:47PM on Engadget

In my opinion, HTC really dropped the ball on this one, in the following ways:
-2 hours of battery life? That is NOT a mobile device
-Vista
-No full copy of windows mobile - that would have multiplied the usability a great deal. It would be nice to have a windows mobile device with a nice big screen and a ton of battery life, and the ability to temporarily switch to full windows for something you can't do on Mobile.
-Trackpad - the hell? HP already proved people hate this concept with the hx4700. Speaking as a 4700 owner, tiny trackpads are a horrible, horrible idea.

WTF? I dunno about you, but I don't spend fifteen hundred bucks on a device I need to dremel before usage.

CEO of failed WiMAX operator calls the technology a "disaster"

Mar 24th 2008 1:40AM on Engadget

You do have to consider the standard is seven years old. Most wireless standards don't even last that long until they're replaced, and just now people are saying "WiMax isn't good enough to be worth it"?

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
