Sep 4th 2009 7:26AM @Defense Tech: for a guy who is obsessed with the military and defense industry, you have a remarkably thin skin. Thankfully, our military doesn't share your penchant for being a whiny bitch.

Jul 11th 2009 7:45PM "Funnily"????
Besides the irony of the whole iPhone thing, it's even harder to swallow that an "editor in chief" has such poor command of the English language. Good lord, this piece is more infested with bad sentence structure than a sunken ship has barnacles.
Painful. Absolutely painful.
Pentax's Optio W80 point-and-shoot shrugs off water, haters {Engadget}
Jun 24th 2009 7:01PM LOL --- "drops of one meter or less." I am glad someone finally invented SOMETHING that not only survives a drop of one meter, but also all the SHORTER distances between that and sitting flat on a surface. I can't tell you how many times I have dropped a camera from a height of seventeen feet, without any problem, only to find it wouldn't work after dropping it into my pocket too fast.
Clear shuffles through its last upstanding citizen, tells the rest to fall in line {Engadget}
Jun 23rd 2009 4:52PM Crap. It wasn't "two tiered."
In exchange for paying the fee, you had to undergo MORE SCRUTINY than the non-paying people. CLEAR members had to submit biometric data AND undergo a TSA and national criminal background check. The average flyer never had to do that. And yes, you still had to take your shoes off and go through the machines.
Idiots who think people were paying to bypass security are bypassing the asshole in their heads.
This was an amazing service that is well needed, but was poorly managed, probably because it was invented by a guy who knew nothing about the industry.

Lenovo's Ion-powered IdeaPad S12 shows HD prowess on video {Engadget}
May 25th 2009 1:37PM Here here. Wish more folks would think a bit more about cleaning up code as a way to improve performance. It will never match a hardware solution, but it's DEFINITELY a way to help improve performance. A lot of cycles are being wasted on crap code and bad codecs, and you never hear anyone talk about it. Like the old mantra "throw money at the problem", most writers just emphasize throwing more processor speed or RAM at a problem and ignore the benefits of smart programming.
Is Google the next Pirate Bay? In a word, no. {Download Squad}
Apr 18th 2009 10:23PM Well, they have scared the hell out of me. From now on, if I want to get an illegal movie, I am breaking into someone's house, stealing their DVDs, making copies, and then sneaking back in to put the DVDs back on the shelf.
