Zune HD has a Tegra processor, confirms official Zune podcast {Engadget}
Jun 19th 2009 8:05PM @josh
Look at the picture. Compare it to other pictures Engadget's posted here of the ZuneHD. Is it flattering? No. The angle and shading makes it look thick and chunky. The front glass is smudged and badly lit. An amateur could have taken a nicer photo.
All I said was that that photo was surprisingly unflattering. It is. Did it need to be? No - you've had other shots of the ZuneHD here that look much nicer. Since I also know there aren't many photos of the ZuneHD in the wild, you'd have to go *looking* through your collection of photos to find one that unflattering for this post.
Now, please, tell me with a straight face that you didn't have ANY photos of the Zune that weren't more positive than that one?
Considering that the post is about the ZuneHD using a Tegra chip, which, correct me if I'm wrong, the Engadget staff mostly has tent for - it seems odd that because the ZuneHD has it - some way to made to make it look a little less nice.
Trying to insult me isn't really a compelling counterargument. (And it won't work - I always consider the source of the insult before being offended... :)
So, is that because Engadget has a 'secret plot to destroy Microsoft'? Personally I couldn't care less.
Now - what's the odds Engadget's wonderful message system will misfile this - or just not accept it?

How's the iPhone OS 3.0 upgrade going for you? {Engadget}
Jun 17th 2009 10:31PM Had it last week (developers got it first).
Kind of a yawn, actually.
But at least the internet tethering works and that's really the main feature I wanted.
Asus Eee PC T91 starts shipping today {Engadget}
Jun 15th 2009 5:02PM Are you sure the T91 has multitouch? The one they were showing was a prototype and the rep said it wouldn't be the screen they'd be using in the final release model.
Also, a netbook with 1.33GHz Atom, 16GB SSD and no removable battery - and no easy upgrade paths?
Hey - I want a touchscreen netbook probably more than most people - but I'll pass on this one thanks.
Windows 7 upgrade coupon plan gets detailed, said to be starting soon {Engadget}
Jun 12th 2009 7:36PM I'm... impressed.
I've never seen someone actually start an OS pissing war by complaining that no one from the OTHER camp is making a fuss...
Which then starts said OS pissing war.
Nicely done.
I think....
MMS and tethering functional on some AT&T iPhone 3Gs running 3.0? {Engadget}
Jun 12th 2009 7:31PM Fido/Rogers up here has made internet tethering a free service for anyone with a 1GB/mo plan and it works fine on my WiMo phone without any special setup - but when I try it on my iPhone running 3.0, I get a popup saying 'To enable tethering on this account, contact fido."
Which I did.
"The upgrade isn't out yet. You shouldn't have it."
"Um, developers already have it. It was released on Monday."
"Well, there's nothing for us to do to turn it on. Do you have a monthly data plan with more than 1GB/mo?"
"Yes, I have the 6GB/mo plan."
"Then it should work."
"Yes, it should - it does with my Windows Mobile phone."
"Hmmm... well, we're not supposed to even deal with this until the 17th."
"So, on the 17th it should just start working?"
"I think so... if not call us back then."
"Righto."

You could buy TWO, put on in a drive case and use the spare to regularly do backups.
13-inch MacBook Pro gets torn apart {Engadget}
Jun 10th 2009 6:50PM The question that this leaves me with is: other than the Unibody thing - how hard would it have been to split the back shell in a line just above the battery and hard drive (which essentially are flush along their top edges) and make it say, slide into a groove slot on either side?
It would almost as rigid, just as light and yet allow for easy replacement of the battery and hard drive. Sure, the battery wouldn't be as nice looking - but it sounds like it would be easy to swap and it wouldn't be any larger than the one in there.
I dunno - I just don't buy the whole 'we couldn't make it removable and small' thing.
Snow Leopard officially puts PowerPC Macs on endangered species list {Engadget}
Jun 10th 2009 11:35AM I thought this was already well known. Didn't Apple say this when they announced the specs on 10.6 last year or so?
