HP threatening OEMs to fend off netbook invasion? {Engadget}
Oct 15th 2008 8:53AM HP are downright bastards, and not just in terms of dodgy business practices.
* Computers loaded up with so much crapware that Vista takes about 4 mins to boot and be usable (yes, I timed one)
* Refusal to develop Vista drivers for scanners and printers that were only a couple of years old (the message on their website was essentially "go buy a new one")
* Warranty on their computers are voided as soon as you open the case. Even if it's just to upgrade the RAM.
* A netbook with a craptacular CPU, barely enough RAM and loaded with Vista. You know that's a problem right away....
* + Many more..
It's a shame really, because they have their Blackbird system, as well as the Voodoo brand. But I've been boycotting their stuff for a couple of years now.

Researchers demo "unbreakable encryption" based on quantum cryptography {Engadget}
Oct 10th 2008 6:34AM I'd give them a pass on the usage of "unbreakable" here tbh. The first step to even attempting to break such encryption is to understand the whole concept of quantum mechanics - which many people find hard to accept since it doesn't match their real-life experiences. An example is Schrodinger's cat, people have trouble believing the cat is dead and alive at the same time.
Then there's the small fact of having to bypass all these laws of quantum mechanics. At best, cracking it will be very tough.
Starbucks wiped from Apple's site, but what does it mean? {Engadget}
Oct 8th 2008 8:03PM $3 for coffee? Starbucks is minimum £3 for coffee in the UK! :O
On the subject of iTunes + Starbucks, the whole idea was idiotic in the first place. Who buys music as soon as they hear it, over coffee?
