Meet seven new characters appearing in CARS 2 (Autoblog)

Feb 3rd 2011 10:07PM Am I the only one refusing to watch videos starting with 30s trailers?

Leaked: 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK revealed ahead of schedule [w/video] (Autoblog)

Dec 3rd 2010 10:24PM Oh, man - is that a beautiful piece of engineering! Makes our pre-kid gen 1 SLK look old :)

Iran's Ahmadinejad auctioning his '77 Peugeot 504 for charity (Autoblog)

Nov 27th 2010 1:28PM My first car was a 404 handed down from my dad. It was great until it got stolen :(

Mark Papermaster leaves Apple for reasons and destinations unknown (update) (Engadget)

Aug 7th 2010 7:07PM Poor fall guy (well, hopefully for him, rich :). C'mon Steve - take it like a man.

BMW recalling 2010-2011 5 Series, 5GT models over fuel tank sensors (Autoblog)

Jul 26th 2010 8:46PM That picture is not a very flattering angle for the GT. I saw one for the first time recently at a BMW test drive event and it looked much better in the sheet metal. It was pretty nice inside also. It does not seem to photograph well. This from a dyed-in-the-wool Mercedes driver.

iPhone DSLR: the next generation (video) (Engadget)

Jul 17th 2010 6:01PM Don't get it. By all accounts and reviews, the iPhone has a fairly mediocre camera. My #g was certainly no replacement for even a cheap dedicated P&S. Why go to all this trouble, rather than getting a proper DSLR camera? You've got to seriously love your iPhone above things like say, picture quality, etc. Oh wait - I think I just answered my own question.

Apple: iPhone 4 reception problem is a software issue, fix coming in 'a few weeks' (Engadget)

Jul 2nd 2010 8:42AM The "reception problems" is not a "software issue", Engadget - this "fix" has nothing to do with addressing the reception problems. This must be one of your most disingenuous headlines yet, even for an Apple post.

Symbian-Guru shuts down, says Nokia is 'losing hard' (Engadget)

Jul 2nd 2010 8:33AM @TomSawyer If consumers thought with logic and weren't swayed by marketing, Apple would not exist. I am a savvy software professional and simple math and spec comparing shows me that there are very few Apple products (if any) that are worth their price on specs alone. So most folks who buy HP and Dell buy on price / performance, and most folks who buy Apple, buy so for other reasons (marketing, cool factor, looks), and then repeat Apple marketing statements when asked why they paid twice the price for a laptop. At least this is true with the folks I know personally.

Symbian-Guru shuts down, says Nokia is 'losing hard' (Engadget)

Jul 1st 2010 12:33PM Maybe this will drive some traffic to their site. I've been a Nokia / Symbian fan for many years, and visited their site maybe once or twice. Let me know when all-about-symbian shuts down - that will be news.

Complaining about the Symbian apps and game availability and citing that as the reason the site is closing down tells me everything I need to know.
