Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel dropped to $100 {Joystiq}
Dec 20th 2007 2:51PM Not convinced of what?
That racing wheels rule...Just try one and you will ask yourself how the heck you ever raced with a pad?!?!
That the price is low enough...compare it to the other ones from logitech. The $100 price is competitive.

Dell calls it quits in the LCD TV game? {Engadget}

I dont believe this announcement concerns the LCD Computer Screens, rather just the LCD Televisions --albiet, there is a fine line between the two these days.
Microsoft aggressively courting Yahoo (again)? {Engadget}

Microsoft doesn't demand that you use IE for Hotmail, why do you think they would they demand that you use it for yahoo mail? The newer Live Hotmail Beta works beautifully with firefox.
TrekStor MovieStation maxi t.u media-centric hard drive {Engadget}
May 3rd 2007 10:47AM There is no indication that this device actually plays HD content. It just scales SD content to HD resolutions. This is similar to the limitation of the XBOX Media Center. The XBMC does play 720p content if the bitrate is low enough, but 1080i is a nogo.
Best Buy's dubious intranet site investigated by Connecticut Attorney General {Engadget}
Mar 7th 2007 11:03AM I have been tricked by this intranet site in Canada too. I often check prices and sales on the bestbuy.ca website before actually going to the store. If I see a good deal, I check the stock of the item via the public website. At least 3 times in the last year, I have gone to bestbuy with a print of the item showing that there is stock available only to have an employee show me that the stock on their intranet site is actually 0. Then somehow, amazingly, the next day the item returns to stock. I have checked this the last 2 times, after thinking something was fishy the first time. So, basically, I believe bestbuy is taking items that they feel are too good of a deal off the shelves and not selling them until the sale is over. They are using the private intranet site to confirm to the customer that the item is indeed out of stock, and to top it off they refuse to offer rainchecks on items that are onsale. I will shop at newegg.com and import the stuff myself from now on. Paying duty and tax is cheaper than buying stuff in the store in Canada anyway.

This was the first mention of MCE 2005 being able to run on any computer. I have been using TV capture since the original All in Wonder YEARS ago, and this was the single most post from 2004 that made me smile.
2005
http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/30/cablecard-on-vista-to-require-cablelabs-certification/
So based on my post from 2004, I had been following engadget for any change that cable card technology would be integrated into MCE 2005 (I bought it based on my anticipation of reading the above post from 2004). This was the first mention of cable card technology being integrated into MCE that I know of.
2006
http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/atis-ocur-worlds-first-cablecard-hdtv-tuner-for-vista-pcs/
So after waiting for a LONNNNNG time for a cable card to record HD on my media center pc, I read this post. ATI OCUR?? Now I have been waiting and waiting for this.
So the sum of my posts shows that engadget is keeping me informed of technology before its for sale. This keeps me informed and I don't buy things before I need to. I get the info here, read about it, and then I can make informed decisions based on reviews and write ups. Thanks for keeping me up to date engadget, and happy birthday.
