If I could + your second comment, I would.
Microsoft group manager: Windows 7 borrowing 'Mac look and feel' (updated: Microsoft responds) {Engadget}
Nov 11th 2009 3:54PM This should only be news to fanboys. At least they recognize the competition and what the market is attracted to. Kudos to Win7 and MS for not being evil.
Blockbuster kiosks to offer movies on SD cards, you some candy as you checkout {Engadget}
Nov 11th 2009 10:11AM Blockbuster sucks. Their business model is terrible; they keep trying to replicate the movie theater experience in their stores, and that's rather costly. The BB down the road from me is going out of business and, ironically, it's never had more customers!
EA: Downloads offset sluggish retail sales {Joystiq}
Nov 6th 2009 8:42AM That's all well and good, John, but things like what we see in the article picture are absolutely ridiculous and is a mockery to gamers everywhere.
Modern Warfare 2 limited to 9 vs. 9 on PC {Joystiq}
Nov 5th 2009 8:07PM I could get severely down-ranked for this, but PC gamers, why don't you guys just *not* buy the game? The best way to protest gaming decisions is with your wallets. I know that sounds crazy, not buying what's probably going to be the greatest FPS ever (well, what *could've* been the greatest FPS ever), but you will be sending an extremely strong message to Infinity Ward and Activision.
And, as much as I hate to say this, this newest round of bad news *is* IW's fault. If you read the Ars Technica article, the Q/A regarding 9v9 stated that the 18-player limit is that way because IW designed the maps precisely for 9v9 multiplayer.
Again, you guys are getting screwed. Just don't buy the game and IW and Activision will get the message LOUD AND CLEAR.

Nov 5th 2009 7:44PM Man, I'm not a PC gamer, but I sure do sympathize with my gaming brethren. You guys are getting totally shafted left and right with MW2.
New York attorney general files antitrust lawsuit against Intel {Engadget}
Nov 4th 2009 3:45PM @ Wwhat
I could be very wrong (I'm not a lawyer, talk to Nilay), but I think what Cuomo is trying to do is get Intel to pay a hefty fine and change their practices to increase competition in the market. Intel knows that if this goes to court, they are done for; Cuomo's office wouldn't have done what they did unless they had a ROCK SOLID case. So, they're basically forcing Intel's hand, and unless Intel wants a prolonged legal battle *that they WILL lose*, they're going to have to pay the price, literally. Additionally, this sends a strong message to companies like Dell, HP, and etc, basically telling them to stop doing what they're doing or they're next.
@ poached
I see where you're coming from, but I disagree. Sure, I bet New York could benefit from this case (though, once again, I could be wrong), but it seems to me that Andrew Cuomo is doing this to satisfy is unquenchable thirst for justice. If he's only doing this for profits, why'd he go after Spitzer the way he did? Why'd he challenge Facebook to improve their security and protection of minors? Why'd he go after not only United Healthcare of New York, but also United Healthcare in general (the entire company)? Why'd he press charges against universities and lenders around the entire country?
I'm not a Democrat (not a Republican, either), and I don't live in New York (I live in the "NY of the South"), yet I firmly believe that this guy has justice at heart. If I'm wrong, I'd be totally let down, but his office's history speaks for itself.
New York attorney general files antitrust lawsuit against Intel {Engadget}
Nov 4th 2009 1:09PM I don't think most people know exactly what this means. New York's AG is Andrew Cuomo. Simply put, this guy serves out justice like candy on Halloween. His idea of "fun" is ruining bad guys' lives in order to benefit just about the ENTIRE NATION.
For example, he discovered Student Loan manipulation on the parts of lenders and universities. He pressed charges against many universities and, in response, many of those ***universities*** REFUNDED students money. Additionally, his office discovered a huge healthcare fraud situation by United Healthcare. They had done terrible things, such as refusing cancer treatment for people, claiming that cancer was a "pre-existing condition." He's done plenty of other things, such as taking down Eliot Spitzer for both his sexual escapades and his inappropriate use of law enforcement for surveillance of State Officials.
So, what I'm trying to say is this: INTEL IS SCREWED. BIG TIME.

Palm Pixi definitely shipping with a new webOS version, but which? {Engadget}
Oct 31st 2009 2:56PM No, they are simply saying that the Pixi would be getting an updated version of webOS. I'd suspect that the Pre would be updated at around the same time as the Pixi's launch.
