Orb for Mac finally arrives, streams media from OS X to any internet-connected device {Engadget}
Nov 6th 2009 10:47AM You'll be blown away. I'm running a Dual G5 2.0 at work and it's unbelievable how much slower it is than my quad 2.66 Intel box at home. I know it's old tech, but really, the system is only about a year older than my Mac Pro which still feels brand new in terms of speed.
And yeah, I do find it a bit of a bummer than the PPCs were left out in the cold for SL; part of the reason I think my G5 is so slow is that it's running Leopard; I skipped from Tiger to SL at home because I didn't want Leopard slowly my machine down. Anyway the PPC is a 'late 2005', the last PPC revision of the Power Mac. So while most PPC Macs are fairly ancient, this particular one was only 4 years old when SL dropped.
Verizon confirms DROID tethering cost, will ask subscribers to double-down on their data plan {Engadget}
Nov 6th 2009 10:43AM What's the difference between the $30 and $45 data plans? When I was on Verizon I was paying $40 for data, which I assume has gone up $5 a month sometime in the past 2-3 years. I wasn't aware of a cheaper plan at the time. Is the $30 the 5GB plan, and $45 is unlimited?

Ears-on with Sony Ericsson MH907 Motion Activated Headphones {Engadget}
Nov 4th 2009 12:41PM This makes so little sense I cannot even fathom it. Why do I want to replace formerly easy methods of music control (click a button on an inline remote or press a button on my phone/dap) with the more time-consuming task of removing and re-inserting an IEM? How do I place a call, a morse-code-like insertion and removal process to key the phone number?
And then I get to use them only with certain specific SE phones? W.T.F.
