CE-Oh no he didn't! Part LVII: Howard Stringer says the Wii is not 'a competitor' {Engadget}
Jul 15th 2008 11:35AM @Kurian
I don't neccesarily agree. I was a big fan of the original XBOX and loved Halo 1 & 2, Need For Speed Underground, NCAA 06, etc. However, I just got a Wii because its affordable and fun as hell... so far I have the Nintendo exclusives (Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, Zelda) but I am getting NCAA 09 today and from the reviews, it looks great.
I don't really need my game system to be the "center of my digital world." That's what a computer is for and it hooks up just fine to my stereo and TV if I need to play music or do something else. I'm of the mindset that my gamesystem should be fun, which the Wii certainly is. I would no doubt think about getting a 360 or PS3 if I was not a poor law student (if not just for the Blu-Ray player in the PS3), but for now, I'm having a great time with the Wii.
Just my thoughts.
Orlando passes its simulated analog shutoff {Engadget HD}
Jun 30th 2008 12:06PM It would seem that every community should have a test if not several tests. That way everyone affected would have no excuse not to be aware.
Survivor starts first HD season September 18 {Engadget HD}
Jun 30th 2008 12:02PM So when will Charter add CBS HD back to the lineup in St. Louis? Hmmm... probably never. The fight between the two has gone on two and a half years now? I have to imagine this is only hurting CBS. Oh well, I don't watch Survivor anyway but I'm sure my mother will be annoyed.
HDTV Listings for May 1, 2008 {Engadget HD}
May 1st 2008 5:37PM Anyone know how the Versus-Golf HD channel allocates their programming? I guess they just broadcast whatever feature event they have in HD and hope that they dont conflict in the time slots? I suppose most NHL games are at night while golf is during the day.
AT&T activates 2HD / 2SD U-verse service in St. Louis, more cities to come? {Engadget HD}
May 1st 2008 5:30PM Watching a recorded show isn't using any bandwidth, so i don't see why not.

Apr 30th 2008 11:45PM Looks like someone on page 5 of that link I gave above has posted a screenshot confirming that they have 2 HD streams.

Apr 30th 2008 10:18PM Uverseusers.com reported that the 2HD / 2SD stream capability was released in St. Louis today (4/30). All new installations will apparently get it while existing customers will be phased in over the coming weeks. Here is the link...

Unfortunately, I can't personally confirm until my installation on 5/17 here in StL.
Dell's XPS M1330 finally ships to all regions this week {Engadget}
Jul 30th 2007 10:42PM Yes, my 1520 was suppose to ship 7/26, then got bumped to 8/2. I contacted a customer service rep who told me:
"At this time, there is not a particular component that is causing a delay. I don't know if that was the case prior to today. Last week, our manufacturing group went to twenty-four hours in production to get the systems out as quickly as possible. I'll keep my eye on your order, and I will relay any further information to you."
Hopefully they'll be shipping soon.
Taiwan switching to LED traffic lights {Engadget}
Jul 4th 2007 5:22PM St. Louis and Columbia, MO have had them for years... perhaps Taiwain is pretty far behind the trend.
