Entelligence: Heads I win, tails so do you {Engadget}
Nov 8th 2009 10:04PM Good to see you guys are comin' around.
This blog feeds of anger, hate and sexual frustration of the geeks.
How about not pitting your readers against each other, mkay?
You'll get alot less hits if people don't get pissy 24 hours a day, but at least you'll have a less embarassing Engadget Meetup.
God, can you imagine meeting these people? Every one on here sounds like the douchey IT repair guy from the UK Office.

Seriously, the negativity on pretty much all these comments, and hate, is enough to take down the US Military, Pol Pot and Genghis Khan. Maybe even Tony Stark.
So to you Engadget readers, I say, 'I hope I never meet any of you'...
Peace be with you.
Easy Piano bringing keys to the DS Lite in 'early 2010' {Engadget}
Nov 8th 2009 4:23AM so, for the DS you need this clunky hardware, but on the iPod touch, you can do this easily.... so weak...
iPhone plays Doom, but what about Doom 3? {Joystiq}
Nov 6th 2009 2:43AM Actually Apple outlined back when the iPhone was launched, how the biggest businesses/industries in the world were TV, Computers and Cell Phones.
The Video Game industry is small potatoes. Its a joke. That's why Apple's not interested.
Interestingly enough, they are capturing a big chunk of that small market via OS X iPhone
NPD: Windows 7 sales 234% higher than Vista's first few days {Engadget}
Nov 5th 2009 7:08PM Ah, not so fast there sparky. People don't use Windows. Banks use Windows. Offices use Windows.
People use Macs.
It's supposed to be a competitive market. But it's not. Especially when it comes to MS's main market (Enterprise). MS has a monopoly. There is no competition. Businesses want multiple hardware vendors pushing down the price.
Think about the proposition here, these are Windows XP businesses who have been holding on for dear life, now MS is saying, look we've even included an XP emulator in there, so for god's sake upgrade already. The alternative is holding onto 8 year old PC hardware. Wow.
That being said, Windows has been losing market share to Apple for about 5 years now. So even though OS X doesn't exist in the Enterprise space, Apple keeps winning and winning.
And by the way, the Ad didn't 'predict' anything.
Latest Mac OS X 10.6.2 beta build brings back Atom support {Engadget}
Nov 4th 2009 10:47PM I dont know what's funnier, the suggestion that Apple is never in the news, or the fact that you called the company MAC (a. not the name of the company b. not router jargon). It's almost as if you're saying, "Wow, I didn't know Apple was still in Business. Neato."
They're almost a 200 billion dollar company that could buy Dell eight times over with their cash hoarde alone. Its 2009. Maybe you should pay a little closer attention.
This news is most likely completely irrelevant to your sister: does your sister happen to be the only female in the hackintosh community? What relevance does this post have to you just going to the store and picking up a Macbook. None. At all. In any way.
PS. My being a smug jerk has nothing to do with me being a Mac user. Your post seems to have been dusted of and given us from the year 1993, that's all.
Mac share of web browsing goes up after Windows 7 launch {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Nov 3rd 2009 11:41PM that's a brilliant comparaison. especially since they don't really directly compete in any one market.
MS sells software licenses and some hardware.
Apple is a vertically integrated CE company.
And you want to relate their market caps to the article about Mac vs PC web browsing.. market share stuff, another market where they don't directly compete. Maybe if you could install OS X, off the shelf, on a Dell, this wouldn't be moronic. But you can't.
Furthermore, the Mac is only one of Apple's big 3.5 businesses. All those businesses are reflected in the Market Cap. So don't you think its a terrible way to judge the popularity of the Mac?
Spring Design Alex comes out to play and show off Marvell's Armada chip {Engadget}

Apple pitching $30 a month TV service for iTunes to the networks? {Engadget}
Nov 3rd 2009 12:26AM Mac, iPod, iPhone are multi BILLION dollar businesses annually.
AppleTV isn't there yet.
That's why its called a hobby.
Are you annoyed that the customers haven't bought more AppleTV's?
Who you gonna call? Irene's Spirit haunts your iPhone or iPod touch {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Nov 2nd 2009 11:55PM You may have noticed there's not many quirky "Haunted iPhone" games out there.
That's why it's news.
That's why it's on here.
Otherwise we'd have.. 100,000 posts announcing app launches.
