It's free on contract...

Jul 23rd 2008 5:45PM If it's ever featured they'll just release the accellerator after a few meters and say "OH NO IT'S RUN OUT OF POWER" then set it on fire while everybody laughs....
Then go back tearing around in petrol powered cars we'll never own for our amusement while shouting 'POWERRRR' :)
Extending your iPhone's battery {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jul 23rd 2008 5:16PM If you were really in a pinch and needed to save juice airplane mode is a waste (unless you really needed to keep the tunes pumping) so powering it off until you needed it would be the best bet.
Also, if you want to be sure you always have power and use your phone pretty heavily like me, an emergency battery (one that plugs into the dock port) in your wallet is a brilliant idea :)
Ripple rolls out Atom-based Mini Chocolate desktop {Engadget}
Jul 23rd 2008 4:52PM Interesting, but after you add the cost of all the other components you might as well get the Mac Mini with a much more potent Core Duo inside...
Open Tech's "Mac clone" demonstrates a firm misunderstanding of the law {Engadget}
Jul 22nd 2008 7:22AM No, they really don't.
All they need is to understand is Boot Camp is a utility to make installing Windows *easier*. It is not what allows it, that is in the firmware.
All macs now come with the ability to boot any x86 operating system, simply insert the disk such as a windows or linux install CD, hold alt at power on (to get the boot menu) and double click on the CD.
That's no different to what you'd do on any other x86 machine, you just selected the boot source in EFI and not BIOS.
Intel's Atom gets used in... servers? {Engadget}
Jul 21st 2008 5:52PM That's a terrible price! I'm co-lo'ing a Xeon 5130 box (2 x 2GHz Core 2 based Xeon) for £34 a month with 10TB bandwidth, and that's with rapidswitch!
You'd be a fool to run a server on an atom for that price.... PS, I bought the processor for £16 on ebay.... :)

Or even closest free parking!
Apple sues Psystar for license violations, copyright infringement {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jul 15th 2008 7:23PM Apple is certainly not doing this for money. They're doing it for their brand image.
People using these are going to have all kinds of compatibility problems and it makes Apple look bad. It makes Mac OS X appear buggy...
ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 gets previewed {Engadget}
Jul 14th 2008 4:56PM Nice one!
I'm glad ATi are keeping nVidia on their toes :)
