@Jordan: Personally, it's not so much that I don't like silverlight, it's just that for one, I think MS should be concentrating on web standards and helping advance web tech in general - imagine how much faster HTML5 and CSS3 could become the standard if MS would've implemented partial support for them in IE8 and were pushing for full support in IE9 - I just don't see the point of a "flash-clone".
Secondly, I'm tired of having to install plugins to view content. At least flash is ubiquitous enough that it's sorta justified, but I ain't gonna install silverlight just so I can see a few sites.

@2late2die argh! a "bit* tiny" and "throw* your layout" - obviously.
No seriously people! Where is the edit button???

Great stuff Engadget! Love most of the changes. I do have a few small gripes.
Still no "edit comment"? Come on, this is almost 2010! (I do love the collapsed replies though)
The text is a big tiny, an extra 1pt to font size wouldn't exactly through your layout out of whack but will make the text much more readable.
I don't like how you implemented the login box. It's not compatible with LastPass and makes it a pain to login (I don't use "remember me" when I'm at my work computer).

Still overall, I gotta say, love the new look.

@Steve:
Actually I don't. At least not for data. Oh and _I_ NEED a cellphone - I don't have a land-line and I don't want to get one because I'm hardly ever at home, and since I'm also not one of those people who wear a tinfoil hat and hide in the woods to keep themselves off the grid, I use my cellphone to keep in touch with my friends and my family. And if you think that in today's world nobody needs a cellphone then please stay in the 80s and don't bother me here in 2009.

@IvanP91:
It's a fair argument, but it does have a tiny flaw - it's called "reality". Because despite everything you just said, somehow Telus is still pricing the iphone same as Rogers. They've got pretty much the same data plans and of course they still require the $35 setup fee and the monthly access fee. When those start changing then you can tell me that there's competition.

This definitely looks great. I don't like that bronze center of the d-pad - it's completely out of place.

@kojo87: Why not? Apple certainly counts every single app downloads, whether it's an update, a fresh download, or a re-download, towards its 2 billion, or whatever it is now, number? Not to mention that every fart, flashlight, pic-of-the-day "app" counts towards the total they so proudly advertise.

I apologize for the rant, but I do think that it's really not so much the number itself but rather what it symbolizes, which is "a crapload of Firefox users out there", as it was eloquently put by Mr. Mathews :)

It would be interesting to see (if anyone were to keep track, and I'm sure somebody will) of how Microsoft's new "browser ballot" screen for the EU version of Win7 will affect the browser landscape.

Monthly access fees should be #%$!&! outlawed! It's highway robbery, plain and simple. Ditto on the $35 setup fee - they're charging us $50+ bucks a month for 3(!) years and they can't waive a measly $35. How is this legal?!?!

Why would they want to do that? They're making a pretty penny as it is. Lowering prices will just hurt their profit margins. Or were under the mistaken impression they care about their customers?

What competition?!? There ain't gonna be no competition, just like there hasn't been any competition for the last several years. Nothing has changed. Both companies will keep screwing us over with overpriced plans and 3-year contracts.

@Light Speed: It's also hilarious how thousands of parking lots around the US and Canada, and millions around the world, are a waste of perfectly good space, when they could be used for at least something positive. Oh and of course lest we forget the pure comedic genius of us killing the planet we live on, it's so funny I could cry.
