EDGE down

Jan 31st 2008 7:35PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

I'm in the Chicago suburbs (Schaumburg) and Edge is working just fine for me.

Engadget's relaunch giveaways: Xbox 360 Premium pack

Oct 4th 2006 10:18PM on Engadget

How about favorite UPCOMING game? Banjo-Kazooie's where it's at... I absolutely loved the N64 one, and I plan on buying an XBox 360 just for that game.

I just use good ol' Comcast. Works just fine through all the storms lately.

The Office, even though the first episode of season 3 kinda made me angry.

Nintendo fesses up to DS Lite hinge defect, will fix for free

Jul 21st 2006 3:18PM on Engadget

I just called Nintendo and they're repairing my imported Crystal White DS Lite. They told me it only takes 7-9 days from the time I got off the phone with them to the time it arrives back in my mailbox. Free (and FAST) shipping, free repair. Can't beat that.

But unfortunately they won't fix any other color than White.. If you have a different color, they said they'd only be able to replace it with a brand new white DS Lite.

The lady I talked to told me that it might be easier to deal with my imported unit by simple replacing it with a brand new American unit. Fine with me!

Modmen adds flash memory to the DMB tuner

Jul 3rd 2006 12:09PM on Engadget

Are we EVER going to get DMB? If not, what's the point of constantly posting stories about these DMB products? I'm sick of hearing about Koreans getting all these nifty electronics that will never make it here... My jealousy grows each time I read about something I want but can't have.

Unboxing the Gigabeat S

Jun 23rd 2006 7:05PM on Engadget

I just bought one... and am returning it. Don't get me wrong, it's an absolutely AMAZING player. It just lacks the diversity of accessories that the iPod has.

- There aren't even any accessories for its dock connector yet. -

Right now I use my iPod in my car using a "RoadShow" cable kit that charges it and has audio AND video out all through one single cable connected to the dock connector. It also has a custom mount for my car's dash that doesn't work with the Gigabeat's side buttons. Give me a cable like that and a car mount made for this player, and I'll happily get rid of my iPod.

Parallels Desktop Release Candidate 2, uh, released

May 31st 2006 5:05PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

Benchmarks, please... The only thing I'd use this for is possibly trying to play games that aren't built for Macs. Tell me, what is it exactly that people use this for? Once Adobe releases its universal line of products I would honestly see no reason to open up Windows ever again, other than possibly playing a game that's made for Windows. If it can't do that, then... well, I see no reason. What else can Windows do that a Mac can't?

Canon's PowerShot SD630 review roundup

Apr 27th 2006 9:18AM on Engadget

Everybody knows that Canon will update their new digital cameras with IS. They've been known to release "updated" models that offer new features, like the SD400 -> SD450 release. Maybe they'll release an SD650 IS.

...Either way, I'm already settled with my SD630. Such a HUGE step up from my "old" Sony DSC-T7. I don't have to worry anymore about taking a picture and wondering how crappy it looks at the full resolution when I get home. I've always liked Canon.

Samsung's YP-U2 reviewed

Apr 22nd 2006 12:10PM on Engadget

Something's aweful fishy about that shuffle picture. Why isn't the USB cap rounded? Not only that, but the cap just looks bigger than normal. Weird.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
