E7 electric taxi makes its debut in the UK {Engadget}
Jul 17th 2008 1:33PM a 100-mile range isn't going to be viable for a city-wide taxi solution. What are the cabbies going to do, run back to base for a charged vehicle every 2-3 hours?
Neat idea, though.
Hands-on with Sony's new BDP-S350 and other HD frivolities {Engadget}
Jul 16th 2008 7:52PM I was wondering, too, where all the $199 players are. All I heard during the format war was that the prices would come down when it was settled, but if anything, they've risen.
Now I hear nothing from the BD fans. I bought a blu-ray drive for my HTPC for $120, so I don't really mind much, but I thought we'd have a decently priced standalone BD player by now. I mean, one that actually updates so it's not obsolete.
Apple's lawsuit against Psystar examined {Engadget}
Jul 16th 2008 4:35PM justin,
They could've sold a machine "optimized for OSX", or something to that effect, probably without any action by Apple. When they violate EULA and start playing as an Apple source without license, that's where they crossed the legal line (my opinion).
It doesn't matter if a company manufactures the exact product you want - you can't just take their IP and resell it with that kind of justification. If they don't sell what you want, buy something else, or modify it yourself. When you resell the package commercially, it reflects on the original manufacturer when it ceases to function.
Apple's lawsuit against Psystar examined {Engadget}
Jul 16th 2008 3:58PM Psystar absolutely damages the Apple brand by using their OS on non-Apple machines. Apple has a reputation of a great user experience between hardware and software, and has to maintain that reputation by controlling what OSX is installed on.
The copyright infringement is easy. Psystar is done.
Apple apologizes for its MobileMe mess, admits bungle on "push," offers 30-days free {Engadget}
Jul 16th 2008 12:27PM Mesh has been good, the sync occurs within about 15 seconds of the change from any device (to/from cloud), and most of the other clients (Mac, mobile) should be out by PDC in October, if not before.
It's mostly just synching right now, but much more to come.
MobileMe will be great when it's working correctly. Should be an interesting comparison, although they aren't really direct competitors, except in pure data sync.
Netflix on Xbox 360 and fall's revamped Dashboard / Guide details {Engadget}
Jul 14th 2008 6:01PM You pay more for taxation, not for product. It all costs the same when they load the boat in China, just gets tariffs on the way to wherever.
Netflix on Xbox 360 and fall's revamped Dashboard / Guide details {Engadget}
Jul 14th 2008 5:57PM Netflix has roughly a 7-8 million membership, and without much work or expenditure, can expand that quite effectively this way. Even a 5% increase in memberships would be huge.
Microsoft saw what the PS3 did to help Blu-Ray succeed, and they're not stupid. A mutually beneficial package means more value for Gold subscribers, and more opportunity for Netflix. This adds to both company's portfolios.
Microsoft brings Netflix streaming to the Xbox 360 for Live Gold members {Engadget}
Jul 14th 2008 4:34PM affiliate link? wow, that's even lower than "I wrote about this in my blog http://nolife.blogtard.com". And that's saying something.
