Engadget, I love you. I am addicted to you. Everyday, I would visit you online to read yours blogs.

I hate the Communist Chinese government. The Chinese people deserve better.

After weeks of searching for Phoenix Wright DS game, I finally found one in a Circuit City store yesterday. This game is freakin awesome! After I popped the game into my DS Lite, I couldn't put the DS down until after four hours of playing in which I have to mentally forced myself to stop playing this game. This game is very absorbing and refreshing to play. Kudos to Capcom for being innovative with new ideas and for taking a risk to keep their games interesting. People who owns a DS and have not try this should definitely check it out.

Where is the U.S. Version of Bleach. Come on Sega, I have been waiting for this game. I might as well import it.

Soon other countries in the EU will catch on and follow suit. As an American, I am so glad that this happening. It just tells you how much influences that big corporations so as Micorsoft and Apple have on U.S. law makers. I hope this momentum will spread the the States and worldwide.

Consumers deserve the right to play their legally purchased music on whatever digital music player they choose without fear of being locked in and limited to a specific company.

Forget burning your DRMed songs to CD. I think that is a load of B.S! First you have to shell out extra money for CDs for hundreds or thousands of songs in your collection. Then you will have to deal with loss of music quality when you recode your music.

If at the expense of Apple's success to have the options of playing downloaded song on any digital music player I want, then so be it.

Ars Technica.com has an article about a 4GB Microdrive for the DS on their website. I am so excited about this. Apparently, there is a software included with the microdrive where you can convert movies and music to be playable on the DS. Here is the link to arstechnica.

Information from the site is brief and short. I would love to here more about it.

Owning a DS keeps getting better and better.

After reading these posts, somehow, I have a feeling that some of the people who had posted their comments work for the music industry or hired by Apple to justify DRM. As a consumer who loves music, I think DRM is a pain in the rear end. As much as I don't like the French, I think they have something going in favor of consumers worldwide. I'm hoping that this anti DRM monopoly trend will spread throughout the European Union.

Don't get me wrong, I am not against Apple. I think Apple's iPod is a great product and their iTune Music store provides excellent service. I just want a little more flexibility with music files that I purchased. I believe that consumer should be able to play their legally purchased music files in any MP3 player they choose.

It is possible for people to burn copies of their DRM music file to a CD and rip them back into a DRM free music file but everytime you copy and reformat a music file, you are degrading the quality of the music. The music file you buy from Apple iTune store and other playforsure sites are not loseless. I prefer to retain as much music quality as possible. I shouldn't have to resort to this CD option in the first place. Again, having no restriction of music players that you want to play your music files from Apple, Microsoft, or Sony is good for the competition and good for consumers.

Don't let those puppets tell you otherwise. Even though the French government might have a hidden agenda behind this proposed law (these are arrogant, jealous people who want to knock down Apple and Microsoft which are American...if Apple was a French company, they probably wouldn't be doing this), the consumer will gain the most in fair play and consumer rights.

No thanks. I lost my interest for Xbox 360 already. So far, there is no game for this new console to justify a purchase. I'll wait.

Right now, I am neutral about these ultramobile PCs. I really see nothing totally new, but I do see a lot of potentials with this new category especially in the professional settings such as the medical and real estate field. From all the reactions and comments about this new product that I have been reading, I think this product will not be for everybody.

If I was to buy this Ultramobile PCs, I would more likely use it around the house. This will definitely not be my main or secondary computer, but more for entertainment than actual input work. Just like reading a book in bed or on the couch, I could see myself being lazy and relaxing, surfing the internet, listening to music, reading an ebook, or reading the internet version of my favorite newspaper while using the toilet (a little too much information, nasty, LOL). I tried to do all of these things with my PDA and find the screen to be too small and the speed too slow (not satisfying). I feel awkward having a laptop on my laptop in bed or on the couch. I'm not much a video gamer but I'm looking at Sony's PSP, but it lacks memory storage and a touch screen.

I hope Microsoft, Intel, and all the computer makers get this UMPC right or it will be another Newton. I will take a wait and see approach and will definitely not buy the first generation of these little computers. Before I even consider buying one, I will want to see a price range of around $500, longer battery life, and an improved design. Micorsoft, you hear me.
