Engadget's recession antidote: win one of 100 Microsoft Windows 7 pre-order discount codes! {Engadget}
Jun 25th 2009 12:48PM I will be purchasing one at release--discounted or not.
Windows 7 official pricing announced, limited pre-orders start tomorrow {Engadget}
Jun 25th 2009 12:46PM Kind of expensive for the OS that should have been Vista... Especially for early adopters who bought Vista and are just now getting to a stable point where it can work for more than a couple of hours before crashing.
With that said, 7 is f**king awesome and I will be purchasing a full retail copy once it is released. It will replace my Windows Vista partition on my HD. However, Ubuntu will still be my main OS.
RCA's EZ209HD Small Wonder HD camcorder ships to retailers {Engadget}
Jun 25th 2009 12:06AM My mom got this as well, and it shoots damn good HD video for the price.
And the 4gb MicroSD shoots 2 hours of HD video... The 16GB isin't required if you ask me.
The battery life is also very good. I will upload some test video if people want me to.

May 13th 2009 9:48AM So... Macs don't have viruses? Then why did I just hear about that all Mac Botnet a few days ago... I think it started with a pre-release iLife or someshit... Also, why are there patches to fix exploits? If they are perfect to begin with, how can you improve on it?
Macs don't crash either? Then why do we get so many of them in with the 'Sad Mac' face in the shop? For that matter, if they are perfect, why do they even code in a routine to handle errors if they never crash?
Oh right, because it is SOFTWARE and no matter how good anybody programs, there is bound to be a bug where something goes wrong.
At this point, all Apple has going for it is that it controls the Software and Hardware from beginning to end. They make the hardware, so they can code in optimizations for THAT particular hardware. Same with the iPhone, MacBook, and anything else they make. Apps work so well because they have a half-dozen configurations to code for, rather than billions for Windows.
It's still crap either way though. The only choice you have in the matter if you want Corn or Peanuts.
That is all.

Funai wins order blocking Vizio imports, Vizio maintains business as usual {Engadget}
May 8th 2009 8:00AM Is grandma who watches the Price is Right and the Golf channel going to notice? No.
Is your mother who watches HGTV and LifeTime going to notice? No.
Is dad who watches some CSI, My Name is Earl, and a whole lotta-football going to notice? Mmmaybe.
Is your little brother who sits on his ass all day playing nothing but Gears2 and going to notice that the screen refresh rate isin't exactly 60Hz and the color is bleeding from one frame into the next causing a ghosting effect when his character rips an alien a new hole in his chest to allow him to breathe better?
Is the guy who is buying Monster HDMI Cables to connect up to his $900 BluRay player so that he can watch Fifth Element and look for the faint pixels on frame #24537 and call up the publishing company to complain about how he paid the most money for the best technology and he can still see artifacts from the disc?
GIVE YOURSELF A BELL!
Fact: Most people don't actually give a s**t about resolution and progressive scan. They just want a TV to watch.
Fact: Cheaper s**t sells faster, because people are in a perpetual state of brokenness. Also, if it honestly dosen't matter about anything else (47" always equals 47") then price is all the people have to go on.
Fact: People who say that they can honestly tell a difference between 8ms refresh rate and 4ms refresh rate buy more expensive TV's because they can tell the difference. Good for them. I'm going to go spend the $1500 I saved by purchasing a Vizio to go purchase other things like a $199 BR player, and some $15 HDMI cables and be as happy as those people are.

May 1st 2009 12:14PM Until someone shows me a router that will work like my WRT54G with DD-WRT on it, I am not upgrading shit.
My wireless is just that: Wireless. I can watch HD movies on it just fine, I just have to sync them when I sleep first. :P
