Comcast announces new bandwidth throttling scheme (update: old news)

@youngstunna: I guess the near-HD quality video I've been streaming to my 46" LCD TV via Netflix has just been an illusion, since you say it's not possible. Wow.

How-to: recycle your old gadgets

Oct 27th 2009 2:14PM on Engadget

Educate yourselves before you use any of these recycling services. Many of them just ship to China where people are paid pennies to melt this stuff down without proper protective gear, and they come down with illnesses and sometimes die.

That site will tell you more, as well as provide recycling resources that are guaranteed to do PROPER, safe recycling here in the U.S.

Honda's U3-X taken for an awkward squat (video)

Oct 22nd 2009 8:02PM on Engadget

Cool, but not that practical. Oh, and the guitar riff at the beginning of the video: completely unnecessary and annoying. And also, why do idiots insist on recording video on their iPhones in portrait mode?!

Getting started with WordPress and MAMP on your Mac

Oct 9th 2009 4:03PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

I noticed your post is highly ranked, so there must be some truth to what you're saying. How is MAMP out of date, though? Even the latest version?

David. Dude. Are you telling me **** **********="refresh" content="60" works? Because **** is not a valid HTML tag, ever, in any reality. And I've got a ton of experience as a web guy.

Sorry man, I followed your steps exactly and all I get when I open the html page up is a blank page that shows the [**** **********="refresh" content="60"]. Why? Because it's completely invalid.

Use the code I listed above instead. And get rid of the BODY tags, too. THEN it works perfectly.

Ahem, let me rephrase that. replace square brackets [ ] with angle brackets since this blog won't let me post them.

HUH?

[**** **********="refresh" content="60"]

Why are there asterisks there? That's supposed to be:

[meta http-equiv="refresh" content="60"]

Also, it's invalid HTML to put a [frameset] within a [body]. Get rid of the [body] tags.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
