What's with all the Giz hate over here? Say what you will, but at least the readers there come off as far more wittier/clever/funnier. Both blogs complement each other well, I'd say.

I also don't get why Engadget refuses to ever mention or reference Giz by name, like it's some kind of Time Warner policy imposed from up above. I think you guys should have a sense of humor about all of it and post funny pics of Ryan having a lightsaber duel with Brian, or something like that....

I suppose it's within the parameters of normalcy to adopt a screen name that reflects your distaste for all things Apple, to then go about posting only on subjects relating to Apple (in which, as one can predict each time, you proceed to criticize Apple for everything from over-priced gadgets to the price of oil), and to even refrain from making any substantive or insightful comments -- I've to expect these things. But really ... are the anti-Semitic remarks necessary?

(Of course, I didn't find anything in the Wiki article you linked to that indicated what Jobs' religious affiliation is ... but why let something like FACTS get in the way of your bigotry?)

I agree with putting most recent posts at the top. MacNN does this and it makes for far easier reading, especially as the keynote progresses and the number of posts increase dramatically.

I have the abonimation of a box from Time Warner, mentioned above, and a Series 2 Tivo. In some regards, I prefer the TW/Moto box over the Tivo and don't find the UI or the experience to be that bad, or Tivo's to be that much better to justify the price. In fact, the TW/Moto box will at least let me delete/save a program directly from the screen I'm watching it on, whereas the Tivo forces you to go into its own main menu, select "Now Playing," select the program you're watching, and then delete. Too many steps for me, or I might not be using the Tivo properly (which I will acknowledge).

Also, the TW/Moto box will minimize whatever you're watching into a small window in the upper right corner, with audio, while you look through other menus. The Tivo menu takes over the whole screen if you decide to pull up something else. So if, say, you're watching an basketball game and want to see what's on other channels or what else you have recorded, you can do that with the non-Tivo box and still keep an eye (and ear) on the game while navigating. I can't seem to get my Tivo to do that.

I agree with guntap and several others. Christmas is about forgiving and forgetting. You don't lower yourself to his level, regardless of his act. No one is suggesting what he did isn't despicable (assuming he's lying, of course). It reflects a certain moral bankruptcy. Despite that, a bigger man wouldn't retalitate like that -- no one was really hurt, after all, someone else will buy it and the money will go to those who need it. Not a class act, Ryan, and once your anger subsides, I'm certail you'll agree.
