Pirates shed tears of illegal grief as Mininova goes legit and deletes infringing torrents

Right. Excuse me while I log onto Kazaa, Audiogalaxy, and Scour.

Ask DLS: Now that you've seen Chrome OS do you still care?

The best way to install wireless drivers when there isn't one included by default is to find the windows xp version of the driver, and use ndiswrapper. Using ndiswrapper requires the terminal but it's simple, and the necessary packages are included on the live cd. You can search google for installing a driver with ndiswrapper.

Ludwig doesn't do it for ya? Weirdo.

Kiosk mode added in Chromium nightly build

I'm not so sure that it's supposed to bring up an address bar. If this is for an actual kiosk, that particular function wouldn't be necessary.

Nintendo DSi LL goes large in Japan on November 21 (update: DSi XL in Europe Q1)

I'm a pretty short/slim guy, and they NEVER have enough small jeans. Where do you shop?

Balloon Boy takes game form with shocking speed

I thought the same thing. For reference, it takes over 45,000 liters of helium to lift 100 lbs. That balloon was too small to even lift a child. I don't understand why the police or the media didn't consider it.

Epic (Mickey) trade: Disney swaps Al Michaels for Oswald

I think it's hilarious. "Here, you can have this person. We REALLY REALLY need that rabbit!"

Retailers move Silent Hill: Shattered Memories release date again

Oct 13th 2009 11:01AM on Joystiq

How can this game be coming out in around two months, and we still don't have a release date? I fully expect it to show up on shelves any random day in November or December, and Konami saying, "oops, we forgot to tell you!"

Man accused of propositioning his own daughter on Facebook

You guys are way too hard on the content sometimes. If you don't want to read it, don't read it! If this blog wants to branch out with their articles, I say go for it.

Canonical bumps Ubuntu One paid accounts to 50GB, pulling even with Dropbox

Oct 9th 2009 1:40PM on Download Squad

I wasn't aware that Windows (even 7) "just works". On all of my computers, I've had to track down drivers (on my ATI card, I actually had to edit a driver file to make it work correctly). I've been following Ubuntu releases for a while, and now I'm running Karmic Beta. This is the first release where EVERYTHING on my main notebook works perfectly OOTB.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
