Poll: Will you buy a Kindle DX? {Engadget}

May 6th 2009 8:39PM Wayy too expensive!

And I'm a student and I would get it if it cost less... and if there was a way to comment on pages, like write little notes.
That's why I think my next tech buy will be a Tablet PC, and hopefully it'll have some sort of e-book reader on it to make it all nicey-nice

Ask Engadget: Best mobile note-taking device? {Engadget}

Apr 25th 2009 10:44PM Definitely Microsoft's OneNote suite and a tablet pc.
Use syncplicity or one of the hundred other computer syncing utilities on the internet to keep your computers synced.

Alternatively, you can use Evernote, but i feel for large-scale notes, OneNote would do the job better.
Evernote is still a pretty slick app for remembering things, I would recommend checking it out regardless!

Engadget's recession antidote: win a Paradigm Cinema 70 CT surround system! {Engadget}

Mar 23rd 2009 2:32PM This is the first recession antidote contest I've entered in. I've waited until now because I wanted to have the best prize, and also the best solution to our depression/recession!

Ok, so here it is:
You (engadget) award me (lowly college student and loyal engadget reader) the prize (super-sweet paradigm cinema 70 CT 5.1 speakers that will blow the socks off the idiots next door whole play death metal at 3am in the morning!)
I (said college student) will go to the college mailroom and be awestruck at winning such an amazing prize. But wait, the speakers are so big and heavy, I'll need to contract out some fellow students to help me bring it all the way back to my dorm. Well, I get the closet four kids to help me and pay them $10/hour. Seeing as it would take at most ten minutes to get them into my room, i COULD just hand them $1 and 66 (repeating) cents for their 1/6th hour work, but, being the magnanimous winner of such a sweet speaker set, I would give them all $20! and this bring $80 into the global economy. They are also college students, so this $80 could buy a ba-jillion cases of ramen noodles! They'd actually probably shower me with glory and alms for allowing them to eat FOREVER in this depressed economy of ours. Or, they'd buy the $10 lunches at the cafeteria and run through it in less than a day. either way, that $80 dollars would somehow find itself in a bank. And we know how banks work, they loan out all of the money that they don't need to keep for FDIC security! So my $80 would really turn into like $400! Banks are sweet! and then that $400 of mine would be put in the ATM for all my fellow college students to use when they withdrew money from the bank. They'd THINK they'd be getting their own money, and they would technically, but it would also be mine, and thus anything they'd buy would be courtesy of me!
Now, I'm humble, so I won't take credit for that $400 being put in a bank again and being loaned out again and making even MORE money, but i could!
Anyhow, my little winning of this prize has totally affected the campus economy! People are buying food and clothes left and right, because of meeee!

And this is all because I won the prize! Now make it happen! ;)




*Disclaimer*
This is all contingent on banks actually not sucking. So, maybe all this goodness wouldn't happen, ya know? But, still, the thought was there, and that's all that counts!
(oh, and me having those sweet speakers in my room! Please!!)

Verizon gets official with $28 billion Alltel acquisition {Engadget Mobile}

Jun 5th 2008 3:02PM @ zephxiii :
Are you sure? This is where I'm taking my screenshots - hxxp://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-plans/blackberry-personal-plans.jsp and hxxp://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-plans/pda-personal-plans.jsp

Look, I took another screenshot and this time I did it from the 10027 NYC zip code (I live on Long Island, by the way).

Beverly Hills (90210): http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2eeze5k&s=3

Look, they're both $35. I don't want to escalate this... but I think you're the one that's doing something wrong. Can you take pictures to prove the $30 plan?
