Poll: "Almost there" HD sporting events, what's your take? {Engadget HD}
Feb 18th 2008 7:58PM Honestly, for me its about being at home watching HD sporting events. Why would anyone go to a theater if they have half a decent system at home? I would almost say all sports are better at home relaxing getting stats real time from either the game of if your a real nerd like me, you have the notebook right on your lap.

Home thermostats: Big Brother's next target? {Engadget}
Jan 13th 2008 12:42PM I actually work for a utility that is using these T-Stats for energy conservation. Its funny but you would think with all the problems that California has with rolling blackouts and shit, they would have had a plan like this in place. Or at the very least start looking at other utilities and copy the plans they have. It should have never got to this point to make it a requirement. These are kinda neat though, the utility will have a website that you can actually change the temp in your house when your not there.
NFL Network allows Patriots vs. Giants Simulcast on NBC & CBS {Engadget HD}
Dec 27th 2007 9:11AM Lets face it this is a win-win for the NFL. They knew at the end of the Dolphins game that they would have to cave in and broadcast this game on something other than the NFL network. With only having 40% of households with the network, and having a "Superbowl" like game on. They could never ask sponsors and advertisers to pay a premium for this game. So they did the next best thing, They will broadcast the game to 3 networks. They get the money they are looking for from commercials cuz now they can say "we will be in 100% on U.S. households", and at the same time they get to showcase to the country their NFL Network channel. Which they hope people will then call the cable company and ask "Why don't I have this?" Its very smart thinking by the NFL. This is why the gane will be simulcast and not done by the anchors of CBS and NBC. Very smart.
Google's Android platform and the Open Handset Alliance: a quick round-up {Engadget}
Nov 5th 2007 10:48PM Honestly, for as long as the "gPhone" has been whispered about you would have thought they would have had a prototype to really hype it up. I'm kinda like not excited at all about this for the time being. But the thought of having a phone that I can customize completely to be my own is a turn on.
Samsung's F700 to arrive on Verizon as SCH-U940? {Engadget Mobile}
Nov 1st 2007 12:57AM Ok, Sprint. I know your busy with wimax, CEO issues, and customer service nightmares. But WTF is going on? you let punk ass Verizon grab 3 touchscreen phones in the last few months? Is anyone running that company? Is the Touch supposed to satisfy us? You suck for real.
Sprint Nextel agrees to start unlocking phones {Engadget}
Oct 26th 2007 10:25PM No you can't. The iPhone uses a different technology. And everyone yelling about CDMA phone not being locked, we get it really stop it. If we are reading this article it would stand to reason we all know a little about cell technology. With that being said "locked" is the best term to be used in this case. Yes, Sprints phone are "locked" to Sprint. Not the same "locked" as GSM phones, but locked never the less. Get over it already. We know how smart you are, but you don't have to keep telling us.
Sprint Nextel agrees to start unlocking phones {Engadget}
Oct 26th 2007 7:49PM This is great new for us that use a CDMA provider. Now we need the other carriers to follow suit. Don't think that Sprint and Verizon haven't spoke to each other about this and how this will affect the business. The thing is recurring revenue, the cost to acquire a new customer, and the cost to reduce the churn of existing customers, is whats inportant to the providers. Unlocking phones will do all those things. Expect Alltel and Verizon to follow suit quickly.
Meizu's MiniOne M8 GUI showcased further, still devoid of originality {Engadget Mobile}
Oct 20th 2007 1:40PM I may be the only one that thinks this, but if someone told me to design a GUI for a phone that had no buttons and was touchscreen capable only I think that this would be what it would look like. I know it looks like the iPhones but what is it supposed to look like. with not buttons. I think HTC did a pretty good job with the FLO "Cube" but there is not a whole lot to do if it has no buttons
iPhone report: most owners left Treos, Sidekicks behind {Engadget}
Oct 15th 2007 9:07PM While it doesn't surprise me that Sidekick users left their carriers, I am a little shocked that Treo users jumped ship too. What that really tells me IMO is that Treo users, never really needed to be Treo users in the first place.
