Microsoft patent app shows off new user interface for mobiles {Engadget Mobile}
Oct 12th 2007 5:46PM Wow. A lame comment similar to many written here over and over with so many on Engadget already. Way to be ahead of the crowd, just like more to be written soon! Another lame remark!
Lame at it's best.

XBL survey fuels rumors {Joystiq Xbox}
Nov 9th 2006 10:30AM How about paying $20-$30 a month to download\rent any movie I want in SD or HD? Bye bye Netflix payment and reliance on the US postal service. Though it'll then be reliant on the wonderful support of my Cox cable as my ISP. Hmm...

Oct 29th 2006 9:57PM 10 million by their fiscal year wasn't it? Not calendar year. Fiscal year ends in June of 07.
That should be on XBLA: Lode Runner {Joystiq Xbox}
Sep 12th 2006 1:08AM Return fire from the 3DO. Perfect for two player split screen and should be perfect for live play. Been waiting for a game like this since, well, Return Fire (Return Fire 2 blew chunks).
CableLabs specs DOCSIS 3.0: IPv6, 160Mbps internet and more HDTV in 2008 {Engadget HD}
Aug 8th 2006 12:01AM Even at 160 Mbps, downloading a 25GB HiDef movie would take about 30 minutes. That's peak speeds over the line (users would also have to make sure their router is Gb capable or they'll be limited to 100Mbps). Better than Netflix yes. I'm guessing maybe they'll implement a buffer where you can begin watching as the movie is downloaded.
Hmm, if the cable companies can really get 100+ Mbps and offer a $30-40 a month unlimited viewing of HiDef movies then Netflix would be in real trouble. As far as HD-DVD and BluRay, some people still like to have a copy of the movie. Can't see that going away this next gen.
Taylor Hicks writing a memoir, for some reason {TV Squad}
Aug 5th 2006 12:40AM Why is he getting paid 750k to write his memoirs right now? Because he's actually 53 and needs to write his memoirs before he dies.
First HD DVD vs Blu-ray title bout - "Training Day" {Engadget HD}
Aug 3rd 2006 12:04AM I don't think anyone is calling the war over. The clear leader at this date and time is HD-DVD with better picture quality, a much lower price, and more titles.
Picture quality is very important as it's the primary reason to jump from current DVD. But it doesn't appear to be a huge difference. As someone posted earlier, Betamax supposedly had better picture quality than VHS.
So yes this gives HD-DVD the lead but the the ultimate factors will be price and titles.
I definitely don't care who wins but it's funny that on the Blu-ray fanboys posts you could replace Blu-ray with PS3 and HD-DVD with 360 and it could go right onto the joystiq site.
Madden 07 Hall of Fame edition announced {Joystiq}
Jul 14th 2006 5:31PM How about including Madden versions 92-2005 on extra DVD's? I liked Madden 92 or 93 on Sega where the ambulance would come out and run dudes over for an injured player.
4G development group comes together {Engadget}
Jul 2nd 2006 1:26AM "...who needs a network that fast??"
Hmm, I think Netflix would love if everyone had 2.5Gbs to downloadstream some DVD and HD-DVDs...
