NVIDIA now offering laptop drivers directly through website {Engadget}
Dec 19th 2008 10:29PM WHAT ABOUT F*CKING ATI?
I am so sick of their driver bullsh*t, but many manufacturers (*ahem* HP) still seem to use their craptastic chipsets in their laptops!
ARGHHHH
Apple adds OTA podcast downloads to iPhone firmware 2.2, continues to burn developers {Engadget}
Nov 6th 2008 1:34PM Along the same line, I've never understood why I can browse the app store and download an 8+MB app over 3G, but I'm barred from even accessing the music store if I'm connecting with anything other than wifi? Maybe they want to preserve the swift response of a tune preview with the ITMS? Just doesn't seem to make sense.
Who cares if I want to download a 50MB podcast (one or two hours of music) over 3G? As long as I have a cell signal and a data plan that'll accomodate it why can't it be my choice?

Google Maps gets cozy with N95's internal GPS {Engadget Mobile}
Oct 12th 2007 3:27PM To be more accurate, it's been ported Symbian S60 v3. It works perfectly fine on my E90 with it's build-in GPS.
But to my dismay, unless there is a method of downloading the maps in advance, this application will not be terribly useful unless I'm near a stationary wifi hotspot. There is basically no such thing as an unlimited data plan in Canada, and this app chews up the bandwidth like there's no tomorrow. Therefore I cannot use it while in a car, or anywhere mobile.
That highlights the biggest benefit of the Nokia Maps app - the ability to download maps in bulk. At least for a Canadian :-)

E911 actually works, finds transplant patient at jazz festival {Engadget Mobile}
May 28th 2007 9:31AM So uhhh... if they could locate the phone via GPS why couldn't they have called it?
While I appreciate the urgency of an organ transplant, did the family previously give consent for the authorities to track them down in such a manner? Personally (I'm certainly not up for receiving an organ donation ... that I'm aware of) I don't think I'd want any 'authorities' tracking down my whereabouts in real time without either my written permission in advance or a warrant!

AT&T botches Nokia N75 launch, pulls from site {Engadget Mobile}
Apr 27th 2007 3:48PM Maybe they only had a few in stock and/or sales were REALLY strong on this model! Time to loosen the tin foil hats a bit, guys! ;-)
