Motorola Droid finally rooted?

For certain values of "legit" of course!

Apple ordered to pay damages in Opti patent case, Apple appeals

Try Googling "patent troll" so at least you know what you're talking about.

Maplock chains GPS unit to steering wheel, dares thieves to interfere

No thanks, I'll just continue to not park in the ghetto.

Either that or nobody wants my ancient Nuvi 350.

Molinker is no more on the App Store -- ratings scam results in expulsion

@cayton
No, cayton's right on. Just because Apple was perfectly justified in this case doesn't mean it's not risky to run a business based solely around the App store where an arbitrary decision by someone you don't know could completely shut you down.

It's a somewhat risky position to put yourself in. And good on Apple for crushing these idiots.

HTC Bravo pictured more lucidly (Update: coming to US in January as HTC Passion)

All those features, and yet it'll still cost way less than the Pureness!

/waits for the humor-impaired to point out that the Xperia Pureness price is based on an unlocked/contract free version...

Dell Vostro V13 is $450, .65 inches thick, available 'worldwide' today (update: video!)

Plus it's nice to see that they didn't use some cocked up obscure hardware if they actually expect to sell a Linux version. Assuming they test such things before out the marketing materials :) But of course Microsoft will still complain that the Linux version is only bought by people planning on pirating Windows.

Funny, this isn't what I've been told about Mac apps...

Apple adds 3.33GHz Xeon, 2TB hard drive options to Mac Pro

You don't hackintosh a multi-thousand dollar machine. I'm running osx86 on a thinkpad and it's just barely better than XP

Nobody spending 2-3-4k on a machine wants to deal with not being able to reliable apply OS patches.

Universal's BD-59 Blu-ray / DVD flip discs to debut on Bourne trilogy releases

Dec 1st 2009 2:49PM on Engadget

This should not cost a penny more than a BluRay disc. Manufacturing costs are a tiny portion of the cost of movies; Universal should be happy to eat the small added cost of a dual-format disc in return for more customers.

... but they won't.

Windows 7 Black Screen of Death? (It's not as bad as it sounds)

That is a seriously cool graphic.

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!"
