"Isn't Lego awsome?" is what you mean. Engadget staff- your professional life is arranging the right words in a readable order... It is your job to set an example to your readership and use the correct terms for Lego bricks and Lego Technic bits, rather than to reinforce their misconceptions. You already do a fine job of 'informing, entertaining, educating', so there is no shame in reading your own comment sections if that is what it takes to be even better.

Yeah, you almost had the answer yourself. The evidence is that LEGO is a company or a system, so the product are LEGO bricks. You have a "pile of LEGO bricks", can be shortened to a "pile of LEGO" but not to Legos (Urggh!). Just like you have a pile of Mechano or a pile of fish.


Likewise, LEGO Technic is LEGO Technic... Engadget once screwed up and used 'Technics' in an article headline about LEGO. Technics make fricking turntables, for goodness sake! See an Engadget headline with 'Technics' and you expect an article about fricking record players from Panasonic nee Matsushita.
Journalists have a STYLE BOOK laying down to them how things should be done in their publication. Looks like Engadget need to write/update/find/enforce one.

I hope this is of some use:

The old model came with an apple remote in the box. Now it is an optional extra.

Actually, Engadget would find it easy to "find someone who wasn't content with this beast". Gamers. The graphics in it are not too great, but then that is not what it is designed for. The customer wanted POWER in a QUIET form factor... best guess would be video-editing.
Still, it would be nice to hear from the customer exactly what he (or possibly she) is up to.

Apparently: "Windows Server 2008 has almost exactly the same features as Windows Vista (SP1), but is remarkably faster and more stable! People say: “It’s Windows Vista without the bloat“!"

I don't know, I'm taking their word for it.

No hitchhiking? Land of the Free, home of the Brave. Oh, the irony.

Can ANYBODY tell me the difference between this and the Samsung M8800 Pixon I have in my pocket that has been out for a couple of months? I thought this was a blog about NEW gadgets; don't bore us with old stuff just because it's new to the shores of the US. You guys are so backward when it comes to phones and cars... Hell, even the iPhone was designed by a Brit (following a German example).

Maybe your experience... I've had shoddy phones from SE and Nokia, but not from Samsung. I don't think it is always which manufactuer, but rather when in the cycle you buy ( i.e the first phone with xx feature is not as refined as a later model, even though it might not impress as much.)
Fair shout to you for stating your own personal experience in a humble manner though, there's too many fan-boys ant and anti-fanboys round here sometimers.

Oh, you lucky young thing.... you don't remember the days when PCs didn't have such basics as PnP (juggle your IRQs), Firewire (before usb2) or even integrated audio (of any kind). Apple did.
Of course, I was a gamer, so I used PCs, then I was a CAD jockey, ditto. You seem to be a PC head yourself, so why are you so upset that you can't watch Blu-ray on a Mac? It is a shame though, Mac Mini is just lovely as a media playing machine.
