although Apple did make that one crappy U2 ipod.
I'll definitely give Microsoft points here for musical taste.

Psystar's OpenMac Apple clone is close to a Cease and Desist order {Engadget}

Wow, did you even read my comment at all? When I say that it's ridiculously expensive, I say that because you HAVE NO CHOICE but to get Xeon processors and the very expensive case. Of course you get what you pay for, but I'm trying to point out that, for most practical situations, people don't need Apple's overkill motherboard and case. There aren't any other viable alternatives when it comes to Apple desktops unless you want the neutered mac mini or iMac.

The Mac Pro is ridiculously expensive, starting at around $2800. However, it is not a standard desktop... you have to pay through the nose for its vast expandability. The problem being, most people do not need the kind of potential that it offers- it's suited for heavy video editing or pro-level graphic design. How many desktops offer a peak of 32GB RAM, over 4TB HDD space, and dual quad-core Xeon processors?

Apr 14th 2008 6:26AM No, unfortunately, Apple is able to (weakly) justify the high
prices/weak capability of the Mini with the fact that it's 1/5 the
size of the above product. The iMac also isn't exactly comparable, since it also uses (some) laptop components. Don't get me wrong, though: it's absolutely disgraceful that Apple refuses to manufacture a sub-$2000 desktop that you can actually swap out the parts in.

Nikon intros the Coolpix P80, encourages you to zoom {Engadget}

Apr 10th 2008 2:32AM My D40 cost me $550, and that was ON SALE. So it's not toe to toe with any superzoom.

Apr 10th 2008 12:23AM you think that looks like a D40? I've got a D40 sitting in front of me, and it looks more like any superzoom in that class to me.

Dell Latitude XT tablet is official, sexy {Engadget}

Dec 11th 2007 12:27AM The macbook pro started at 2GHz, I think. Why is Apple being brought into this? They don't even make a touchscreen laptop.
