May 9th 2008 3:24PM I guess all of us mere mortals will just have to kneel at your feet, o space saving guru of T9. You're probably texting with telekinesis, but some of us appreciate being able to use the full keypad to type our lowly messages.
Cable companies drop Pivot, break up with Sprint Nextel {Engadget Mobile}
Apr 23rd 2008 9:38PM I just don't get why anyone would choose to buy something from their cable company that they don't have to. To me, it seems like ordering pizza from the IRS. Is that really where you'd want to get your pizza if they sold it? With a bazillion other options out there?
ASUS' 7-inch Eee PC now available at Best Buy in XP flavor {Engadget}
Apr 11th 2008 11:04AM "All i was illustating was that for your money, an extra $200 you can have something that i would consider barely functional."
See, here's where you kill your own argument. You're saying that for $200 more, you get something that's barely more functional. That "something" is a much bigger, much heavier laptop that's a pain in the a$$ to haul around. It's also loaded with bloatware and probably takes eons to boot up and shut down.
For $200 less you get the Eee which is smaller than a $2k+ VAIO, boots in < 30 seconds, shuts down in about 15, and can do e-mail, office apps, Skype, plays media, and does a pretty much everything else a PC can do other than store a large amount of data. If you need to store a little more data you can spend $30 on a 4-8gb SD card or USB drive and you've got plenty of movies or music for a plane ride.
If you don't like the Eee, that's cool, but that doesn't mean it's not a really useful product for a lot of people.

Kidding, but just about every Mac post lately has a comment comparing the Eee, so here it is for this post.

Feb 21st 2008 11:16AM nth-ing the thought that the Eee is a much better way to go here. So, it's only got 3 USB ports but it's cheaper, has a bigger drive, and, yeah, it's a real laptop too. Even if you don't plan to use it that way, it seems like the better choice for most users unless there's something I'm missing.
Oh, yeah, and the Eee gives you the integrated SD card reader too..

Oct 18th 2007 11:08AM It does if you preface the statement with, "Dude."
As in, "Dude, the PC I'm posting this from rocks *built-in* wireless internet."
See how cool that is?
