Apple TV 3.0 software update is out, with iTunes Extras, LP & Genius in tow {Engadget}
Oct 29th 2009 4:20PM I understand why people don't like Apple TV. Here's why: Because it isn't the end-all be-all everything device that people so desperately desire, so they can't wrap their head around it having any value.

LG announces 1080p DivX support, release windows for new TVs {Engadget}
Apr 22nd 2009 2:08PM It's just an LCD with an LED backlight. No big deal here. But people think it's some whiz-bang new technology because they're marketing these as "LED TVs"
Plasmas are still brighter, darker, have higher contrast -- and they're all at least 480Hz.
RIM CEO on BlackBerry Storm: "nobody gets it perfect out the door" {Engadget}
Apr 16th 2009 8:12AM Storm is not so terrible, it's just not a great Blackberry and certainly not an iPhone. But you're still better off than you would be with an enV or other such "feature phone"

Acer's 10-inch Aspire One 103 in photos {Engadget}
Jan 18th 2009 9:49PM yeah, everything works in windows 7 on the acer aspire one. no problems whatsoever, and i didn't have to do anything extra like find drivers -- win7 just works. shrink your C: using http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm and create a new drive to install Windows 7 to. Mount the win7 ISO using Daemon Tools Lite, run setup.exe and tell it to install onto the new drive.
also, i recommend picking up a Sandisk Ultra II Plus SD card (with pop-out USB) and keeping it stashed in one of the Aspire One's SD slots, just in case you ever need to transfer files with somebody. $10 at http://www.adorama.com/IDSU2SDP102M.html

Jan 18th 2009 8:36PM Acer Aspire One running Windows 7 here. It even does Aero! I highly recommend this system; just make sure you get the 6-cell battery for 5+ hrs battery life (i routinely get closer to 6). Not bad for ~$350
and yes, the trackpad is multi-touch with gesture support. Just enable tap-to-click and the button configuration is moot.
