Another Vista activation bypass: for reals this time?

Mar 5th 2007 8:54AM on Engadget

$120 for Vista Home Premium would be fine by me. Unfortunately I need Windows Vista Ultimate to get all the features I require for work and play which costs $632 here in the UK. That’s double what I’m prepared to pay for an OS. I'm hoping to scab a copy from works MSDN subscription otherwise I’ll be looking for a crack.

Wii Warm Up: wrist straps

Jan 11th 2007 8:12AM on Joystiq Nintendo

I went for them, but still waiting for them to arrive. The original ones seem strong enough. But after a year or so they could be getting a bit worn, so it's good to have a few freebie replacements lieinbg around..

UK aftermath: Wii is fastest selling console ever

6. SemiLOOSE "my wii from amazon got stolen by some parcelforce employee.. i'm fukcing pissed off.."

Comet just used the same line on me. I'm thinking it means they screwed up the order and are stalling for time.

They are now telling me it will arrive on friday, fingers crossed. So annoying to be one of thoses 105,000 people but still be waiting to have it delivered.

Dell planning 27-inch 2707WFP?

Mar 28th 2006 3:51AM on Engadget

If you follow the link says it will actualy be 1920x1200 so it can do 1:1 pixel ratio for 1080i/p :)

Doubt anyone would make a 1900x1200 display as it wouldn't be a standard ratio (16:10 or 16:9).

I was looking at the 2407WFP but might wait for this to come out now.

StarForce makes PC gaming hard... and it kills kittens

All this will only run with the CD in the drive c**p lead me to seak out ways round it.

Now whenever I get one of these games I just make a image of the CD and mount it as a virtual drive, this method is also commonly used for pirated games.

Man pays $2500 for Sonic X-treme demo

Mar 9th 2006 10:34AM on Joystiq

I'd pay for Elite 4.

They must be some unreleased demos since have supposedly been working on it on and off for the last 5+ years (www.frontier.co.uk).

Sony expands Bravia S, V, X series LCD HDTVs

Mar 6th 2006 11:14AM on Engadget

Shame the Bravia X only comes in 46".

I'm not buying an HDTV until someone releases an affordable 1080p 32/36" with dual HDMI CP inputs. Is that too much to ask for?

Ask Engadget: What's the best wireless router?

Jan 27th 2006 4:35AM on Engadget

Got my Linksys WRT54G 8 months ago never had to reboot it. Compared to an old wired d-link which I had to boot at least once a month.

However it's about time they started releaseing more home routers with gigabit switch.

Samsung's SGH-i300x ups the space to 4GB

Jan 16th 2006 10:15AM on Engadget

MoDaCo are saying it has WM5.
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=234966

Not sure what there source is though. Samsung don't specify which version it's running on their site. http://uk.samsungmobile.com/mobile_phone/sgh-i300x/feature.jsp

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I love my little computing companion but I often find myself missing a full sized keyboard. I have been looking at several of these portable and flexible keyboards, but I can't seem to make up my mind about which I should buy. I don't want the keyboard to be overly expensive, but I want it to be good quality. Also, how difficult is it to type on these keyboards? Thanks!"
