Have you already forgotten the massive hyping Engadget has been doing for the HTC HD2?! You guys sound like a broken record every time Engadget has anything negative to say about a company that isn't Apple, then feign surprise when they write something negative about the fruit. Just like how the next time Engadget criticizes a Symbian device, the Symbian freaks will have suddenly forgotten about this article and state that Engadget gets paid off to write bad things about it.
Court awards $16.5m in 'Hold Your Wee for a Wii' radio stunt death {Joystiq}
Oct 30th 2009 2:14PM "you'd be silly not to acknowledge that $16.5m was disgustingly excessive. That money could have done a lot of good elsewhere."
Oh, yeah, it was doing a lot of good sitting in the bank accounts of the radio station's shareholders, who could have avoided losing that money by simply having a legal department weigh the risks of holding a contest such as this. Now instead it sits in the bank account of a family who lost their mother - a family who, I'm sure, never cost anyone their life. So you tell me who that 16 million deserves to be with, cause there's only two possible choices: The negligent shareholders or the family.

You should realize a few things. First, the amount of 16 million dollars was awarded because the radio station, or parent company had at least that amount to spare - and I'm going to guess whatever corporation shelled out that the money has probably several times that amount. If I drive drunk and kill someone, then get sued I'll get taken for every last penny I have, with nothing left over. This ruling will definitely hurt the company, but not bankrupt it, and I'm sure this has sent a ripple through the entire radio industry to never allow anything like this to happen again. The next time any station even thinks about an idea similar to this all anyone has to do is remind them of this case, the life lost, and the enormous cost it had on the company.
Second of all, imprisonment is not the solution. I would much rather a huge corporation lose a chunk of money that benefits the family than an attempt to send anyone to prison that would surely result in dozens of appeals, more money spent on lawyers, and the tying up of our legal system for years, only to end up with nobody in prison.
And last... would you really rather send more people to prison that you and I as taxpayers have to pay for to feed and take care for however many years?
And last last... why don't you tell that family to their face that you don't think their mother is worth 16 million dollars. Or in other words, you don't think she's worth a fraction of what the radio station is worth.

HTC HD2 gets itself a promo video and a website {Engadget}
Oct 8th 2009 4:16PM What holds me back from all these wonderful HTC devices is that they all have that crappy video recording problem due to the Qualcomm patent.

"Theatering"? Really? Come on, man, you couldn't have been serious with that spelling error.
New SNL title sequence and segments shot using Canon EOS 7D, 5D Mark II {Engadget}
Oct 3rd 2009 4:39AM The title sequence does have horizontal panning, just not the commercial. When used with a stabilizer such as a tripod or shoulder mount, or really anything other than hand, the motion looks fine. It is a limitation that hand-held panning results in jello, but it's a small caveat that doesn't seem to be keeping those that want to use these cameras from getting the results they want.
