Archos 5 firmware 1.1.01 rights all wrongs?

Aaaand I failed to reply to Imran, thereby securing my fate of being email by people commenting on my heresy.

Archos 5 firmware 1.1.01 rights all wrongs?

Ugh. I hate Alex Ross' work.
It makes it all too obvious how terrible most superhero costumes are.

iTunes 9 breaking AirTunes connections?

Sep 14th 2009 2:09PM on Engadget

The only thing that is consistently making me rage at iTunes 9 is the change to the green minimise/maximise button.

Before, it would conveniently switch between the mini-player and the normal player. Now it expands the window to not-even fullscreen, and you're resorted to using a menu item or holding option while pressing the green button, and I only found out about THAT shortcut after googling to see if others shared my rage.

I am disappoint.

Xbox's Aaron Greenberg: Hulu on 360 like "asking out a really hot chick on a date"

Their persistence with the WiFi adapter price is maddening.
This is not how much dongles cost now!

On the plus side, those things hold their resale values incredibly well. You can almost get all your money back selling it second hand because there's so much demand for anything even slightly cheaper than buying one new.

Final Fantasy XIII team 'aiming' for three-DVD release

There really is no big deal about swapping of disks for something as linear as a JRPG.
You're going to need to do it, what once every 8+ hours?

It's not like back in the days of Monkey Island for the amiga, or Goblins 3 where you constantly had to swap floppies back and forth depending on where you went.

From Software's 3D Dot Game Heroes does pixel art PS3-style

3D pixels are called Voxels. They've been used in games for some time now to make low-CPU 3D objects, although maybe not as stylishly as this.

Carmack says ad-based model not working for Quake Live

To be fair, you can probably pick up a copy of Quake 3 now with the loose change in your pocket.

How would you change Apple's iPhone 3GS?

Show of hands. How many people even use video calling on their phones?
Its been around for years now but I never see it used outside of demonstrations or people on crappy contracts with split video/voice minutes.

The fad died before it even started.

3D TV channel coming to UK next year, 3D-ready set and glasses required

Dimensions don't work that way.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
