Apple's patent application for pen-based computer remembers fingers can't write

Nov 12th 2009 7:16AM on Engadget

Guessing this patent refers to Ink Well, handwriting recognition software already built into Mac OS X.

Apple schedules laptop event for Oct. 14; leaked photos abound

Not sure why the original article says it is in San Francisco, Cupertino is a fair distance from the city.

Debunk: Schiller's front facing iPhone 3G camera

Jun 12th 2008 8:53AM on Engadget

I don't remember that happening but anyway...

With all the spotlight that was on Apple it would have been smarter to show off a front-facing camera and surprise us with GPS or something.

It's obvious that there is no front facing camera and most likely never will be one, Apple is clearly being stubborn about it, much like A2DP, MMS and video recording.

UI changes in the MobileMe Guided Tour

Apple preparing another large London store?

Mar 5th 2008 7:47PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

Hate to nitpick but the Regent Street Store is the third largest Apple Store in the world dragging behind North Michigan Avenue and West 14th Street, possibly Fifth Avenue as well?

iPhone display "bubbles" causing toil and trouble?

Feb 14th 2008 6:19AM on Engadget

I've seen Apple hold back stock much further than 1 year, I saw a second gen iPod swapped last year.

So if you take in a 4GB iPhone then it'll be replaced with a 4GB iPhone.

10.5.2 breaks Linotype FontExplorer X, or vice versa

Feb 12th 2008 9:16AM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

@Speddy, I completely disagree, FX is one of the best font managers out there and it just happens to be free. If they charged as much as some of the other manufacturers do; I'd still own it.

MacBook Air Leopard disk only works with MacBook Air

Jan 30th 2008 8:10AM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

@Steve,

The MacBook Air's at Macworld weren't running 10.5.2 so what makes you assume that the multi-touch additions are included in the next Leopard update?

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
