Love the new design... just a couple of niggles.

The fonts could be better. Arial and Times New Roman?? Really? Use a modern font.

The font size on the comments and replies looks a size or two too small.
There is no way in hell that Schumi will race for a Mercedes outfit that would most probably give Ferrari a run for its money next season. My guess would be a move to a more prominent role in the FIA alongside Jean Todt.
replying to Lee, the author:

Lee, you once again show your bias. You arrogant idiot. The plugin is installed when the user installs .Net framework, which assumes the user would need the plugin when using the browser (IE, FF, whatever..). Just like Adobe installs plugins when you install its PDF reader, like Apple installs iTunes launcher plugins when you install iTunes or QT, and the list goes on. You imply that this is not unique to Microsoft, yet your faux outrage is reserved just for Microsoft. 'Dirty Ape'?? You stupid F.
@ Thomas Ricker:

Perhaps you could get back to meaningful and useful blogging once you let go of Apple's metaphorical dick..

I am getting tired of the obsessive sarcasm and snark when reporting anything to do with Microsoft.
This is a knee-jerk reactionary article, from an author that 'plays with five computers and dozens of other chirping blinking devices.'

Sure, booting from a LiveCD will prevent the OS from being infected.. but what about phishing and social engineering attacks? What about SSL compromises? What if the host OS has already been compromised when the user visited teh pr0n sites, or downloaded some shady software from sleazy web sites? Using LiveCD in that case will not completely protect the user.

In the end, the article should have been titled "stupid users are not fit for online banking, or Web surfing altogether." Even if the stupid user hides behind LiveCDs, or *nix based OS for long if s/he continues to use stupid decisions while online.
I think you meant to say 'a phone incapable of multitasking'... in speaking of the iPhone..
Everytime my Mac crashes, makes me want to punch a Mac Genius at the Apple store. I hate smug bastards!!
Nilay, Josh,

Care to throw some light on which Mac models can access which Snow Leopard features? I sent a tip to you, pointing to the handy chart put together by Stephen Foskett (and enhanced by Ed Bott of ZDNet) at:

http://blog.fosketts.net/2009/08/24/mac-os-106-snow-leopard-hands-august-28/

I am surprised you did not touch upon how older Macs are left out on some or most of the new features in Snow Leopard. I hope for objectivity's sake, you'd include this data as a PSA.
Give me. Gimme. Gimme. GimmeeGimmeeee....
ahh.. Gigapan! How I love to fill up my hard disk with superhugemongous Gigapixel panoramic shots!!

Me want one, Engadget!!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I love my little computing companion but I often find myself missing a full sized keyboard. I have been looking at several of these portable and flexible keyboards, but I can't seem to make up my mind about which I should buy. I don't want the keyboard to be overly expensive, but I want it to be good quality. Also, how difficult is it to type on these keyboards? Thanks!"
