Karmazin promises interoperable Sirius / XM radios in less than 9 months {Engadget}
Aug 8th 2008 3:27PM Yeah this makes me very hesitant to buy a new car with an XM radio built-in before they have resolved this issue. Sorry Acura!
iPhone syncs with Outlook and Entourage {Engadget}
Jun 26th 2007 1:15PM Yes, simplicity is syncing your calendar through your music player to your phone. It would be much more complicated if you synced your calendar directly to your phone.
Why not sync your calendar through iMovie and iSight too, while we're at it?
YouTube hits Apple TV today, headed for the iPhone as well {Engadget Mobile}
Jun 20th 2007 12:54PM Wow, watching YouTube videos over a 56-100kbps GPRS data connection. Awesome.
iPhone on sale 6pm "local time" {Engadget}
Jun 14th 2007 10:06AM "you just don't get it do you.
apple is all about design and marketing.
they sell cool to the uncool,
they sell sexy to the ugly.
those of us like me who are already sexy and cool and are immune to i.clone marketing can only watch on and smirk ;)"
I just love to see people camp out on the sidewalk to buy a phone with ancient technology. Priceless.

Jun 14th 2007 9:22AM I know the Apple fanboys are going to jump on me for this, but I really don't understand all the excitement about being able to pick up a PDA phone with EDGE (2g) networking. I mean seriously - I have a PDA phone now with Edge, and it is slooooow. Of course, my phone is 3 years old. What's Apple's excuse?
Is HTC's "major announcement" a multi-touch device? {Engadget}
May 30th 2007 5:36PM "Who the hell is HTC?"
Uh, only the biggest smartphone manufacturer in the world. Unlike Apple, which is late to the game and playing catch-up.
Windows update software used to compromise security {Engadget}
May 11th 2007 3:34PM "if you don't know a lot about the topic in question, don't act condescendingly to a programmer."
So guess what Pedro - you're not the only programmer who reads Engadget. In fact, I highly doubt you're a programmer. Just mentioning winsock is not enough to convince anyone.
You're also wrong. You can't just add yourself to a firewall's white list. Most host-based firewalls (Windows Firewall, Norton, etc.) prevent applications from adding themselves without prompting the user. Otherwise those products would be completely pointless.
Nice try though.

Read the full article. The difference is that the Trojan can establish an outbound connection without trigging a host-based firewall alert. Is this the end of the world? No. But it is a security vulnerability....
Lost islanders snag an iPhone before the street date? {Engadget Mobile}
Apr 20th 2007 11:19AM Also, I don't think the iPhone's GSM network would be of much use on a remote Pacific island. I can't even get a signal in my basement. But if the Losties did get a signal, imagine the roaming charges!
Google Phone launching end of 2007? {Engadget Mobile}
Apr 18th 2007 9:49AM It amazes me how they can screw up a good thing (assuming this rumor is correct). They plan a Google phone with Google map integration, but no GPS.
