Japan's networks buckling under data strain, culprit is exactly what you think {Engadget Mobile}
Jul 12th 2009 3:23AM I really don't even understand why people wanna watch any sort of video on a cell phone or a PMP. The screens are so damn small! The only time I would think about doing so is on the subway, but in that case I sure as hell wouldn't be watching porn!

Limited-color OLEDs could operate with 40 percent less power, look just as stunning {Engadget}
Jul 8th 2009 9:58AM I'm totally cool with this for my mobile phone / PMP, but you leave my colors alone on my TV!!!!
Seriously, maybe you have a hard time being able to articulate what is lacking with these reduced-color displays, but I think many people would sense that there was SOMETHING missing, and report having a less enjoyable experience. I can't really explain to my friends why my classical music is encoded losslessly on my computer, but if someone converted the files to 128kbps MP3, I would notice that something was lacking... maybe not on their shitty computer speakers, but on my canalphones or my Paradigms, you bet your sweet ass.

Jul 7th 2009 12:26PM More compression? NOOOOOO!!! Why? There are so many channels available, but only 4-7 broadcasters per market?! It's too bad it's too late to go h.264...
Taiwan 'orders' Dell to honor $15 monitor mishap (updated) {Engadget}
Jul 1st 2009 9:05PM Dell should be more careful, and customers should be able to depend on the prices they see on websites, but should also be careful and consider the possibility of typo when they see something outrageously cheap.
I think the government probably shouldn't get involved. As far as I can tell, these customers had no contracts, nor had they made any good faith payment on the offer; thus Dell owes them nothing. The only possibly 'good' justification a government could have in forcing Dell to honor the mis-offer is to correct a pattern of this type of behavior.

Jun 25th 2009 7:08AM I remember some kids having ~4 frame animations of porn on their TI-85 graphing calculators in Calculus. There was a program that emulated shades of gray (or blue) by flickering the display. Crude cubed!
Atom-based Nokia netbook reportedly on track for Q3 release {Engadget}
Jun 24th 2009 10:30AM Nokia just doesn't seem to kick the ass it once did. My 8260 was fairly cheap, with good design and a very useful, quick and intuitive OS. My 8890 was a sexy version of the same. My 8801 and 8600 Luna had a few minor problems, but were even sexier and a joy to use. When I toyed around with S60 devices, however, the OS felt much less intuitive; I seemed to be going through more menus and confirmations to make something happen, and waiting for screens to change.
In short, Nokia was the Apple of cell phones before Apple got involved, and now, instead of stepping up and providing some real competition (in terms of innovation, not just pure market share), it seems they're backsliding. Needless to say, I'm not excited about this netbook announcement, and I'll be surprised if the launched product gets me all hot and bothered.
P.S. What's the deal with the ugly digital clock on the home screen in S60? Why do I want my VGA screen to look like an LED alarm clock?
