It's beautiful, it's stunning, and I will never in a million years be able to afford one. Please, Engadget Mobile, rid me of my landline.

I CAN HAS PHONE?

2004: http://www.engadget.com/2004/06/09/turn-your-pc-into-a-mac/
It was a ridiculously exhaustive, ridiculously neat little guide which meant that the Windows laptop I was hobbling along on that year became a lot more usable until I was finally able to replace it. I still run most of those programs, but this time it's within a Bootcamped Windows installation.

Which brings me to...
2005: http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/06/apple-goes-intel-its-true/
Absolutely staggering news. While the Apple we know today is pretty much the same as the Apple of two years ago, the switch to Intel has made a dramatic impact on my own personal computing habits by making a Mac newly viable, and your live-updated feed from the keynote told me the second the bomb dropped.

And lastly...
2006: http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/sony-battery-recall-approaches-10-million-costs-mounting/
2006 was a bad, bad year for Sony. Their new console was a non-starter, their mp3 players took design cues from beans and lipstick tubes for sales in the veritable dozens, and their marketing was failing all over the place. Yet their battery recall marked the lowest of the low points for an already bad year. Sony batteries were recalled virtually across the board, with manufacturers as disparate as Apple and Dell being affected. The costs climbed, investigations were started, and Sony's battery manufacturing business will probably never recover as far as third-parties are concerned. Engadget virtually broke the story, reporting flaming laptops wherever they appeared. The story snowballed, the true scope of the problem became clear, and Sony's year became that much worse thanks to some fine journalism from Engadget.

I think the advantage of BMI is that it's easy to get; researchers can ask for people's weight and height over the phone, which I'm guessing was how the Gallup study was conducted, and calculate the BMI from there. Body fat percentage is for sure a far more accurate measure of a person's health, but it requires the actual physical presence of the study-ee, so...I think we'll be seeing BMI statistics for a while yet.

Oh my god, not another thing that I desperately want. You guys rock for giving away all this awesome schwag.

Please oh please oh please. I'm so very, very bored.

Much as I hate to go against the tidal wave of HD-DVD buyers, I think I'll go with a TV to hook this damn thing up to.

....a muffin does not have to be as large as your head, unlike some bakery muffins, to be either delicious or tempting

Hear, hear! What is it with the popularity of these giganto-muffins? It's getting increasingly difficult around these parts to find a muffin or scone which isn't the size of a dinner plate. My waistline despairs.

Well, sure, you could go all technical, or you could just point out that the name reads like 'ASS-SOAK'. You know, whatever works.

Seconding the water/gatorade, but for those absolutely crushing evenings which seem to pop up immediately prior to exams, there's nothing better than a massive, greasy, donair. Low-grade fatty meat, heavily spiced and then slathered in a very sugary cream sauce with heapings of dubiously-fresh onions and tomatos piled on top, and then wrapped in a bloated piece of pita bread. It's huge: doughy, fatty, sugary, and greasy, all in a form factor which even my newly-lowered IQ can handle. They are truly god's gift to the drunkard. I still haven't found one worth a damn out in the west.
