Or you could just use Grooveshark and be done with it!

Old Man IE6 shakes fist as Firefox surpasses him in browser share

I love IE6 as a web developer. Causes no problems for this hardened web warrior! Here's how you can tame the beast and be happy like me: http://www.russellheimlich.com/blog/developers-stop-whining-about-ie6/

10 web apps you should be running on your Mac with Fluid

Nov 3rd 2009 9:31AM on Download Squad

You forgot Google Calendar.

I used to run Grooveshark as a fluid app until they released their own AIR app which has song notifications and shortcuts to play/pause tracks by clicking on the icon. It's only for VIP ($3 a month) but so worth it as I listen all day long.

Fitbit review

Oct 15th 2009 2:02PM on Engadget

I wear the FitBit on my belt and it adds absolutely 0 steps to the counter during my 1 hour ride on the Metro everyday. I specifically checked before and after. I could see how keeping the FitBit loose in your pocket could fudge your data. You really need to clip it to something for the best results.

Fitbit review

Oct 15th 2009 2:00PM on Engadget

I've been wearing my FitBit the last couple of days and I like it for the sake of the data it collects automagically. It's like Google Analytics for your physical activity. Putting it into sleep mode is a little weird because you have to remember to press and hold the button for 2 seconds before you go to bed and when you wake up.

I hate the food tracking feature of the site. I prefer http://www.thedailyplate.com/ for that. Overall I'm quite pleased with my FitBit knowing I have all of this data coming in about what i've been doing so I have something to compare it to in the future. You've got to look at this thing for the long term!

Sure took them long enough. I had this idea almost a year and a half ago! http://www.russellheimlich.com/blog/steve-jobs-cannot-design-a-mouse/

Is "Real-Time" taking the place of "Web 2.0" on the hypechart?

Sep 15th 2009 10:10AM on Download Squad

Real-time is easy and more fun to work on while relevancy is harder. Programmers like to do fun things before the hard things hence a surge in real-time technologies. Once we reach true real-time we can then buckle down and take a crack at relevancy.

Yo Taylor, I'm really happy for you, I'll let you finish, but Beyonce has one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!

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!"
