Microsoft attacks OpenOffice.org and open source with a damning video (Download Squad)

Oct 16th 2010 8:50PM Sigh. I'm disappointed that you would write such populism, Sebastian. I thought the writers here were above providing lip service for the loons of the FOSS community but it seems I was wrong.

I've been following this site for years, and I guess I'm going to skip the news and opinion posts from now on.

Firefox Friday, the back to school edition: 10 add-ons to make education less dire (Download Squad)

Either review games regularly or not at all. Certainly don't review games and later sell t-shirts of them like you did with FixPix. It makes the site's credibility suffer.

Lumigon T1 gets Froyo and a major facelift, makes glamorous appearance on Facebook (Engadget)

Aug 15th 2010 9:46AM @Cainhunpi I cannot fetch you a source right now and could be wrong, but I believe Google stated there won't be a Nexus Two.

Yurina health care robot promises to help lift, terrify patients (Engadget)

Aug 15th 2010 3:05AM @Valicore You're in the health care now, woah-ow-oh you're in the health care, now.

Thanks to Hexxeh, you're just a few clicks away from trying out the latest Chromium build (Engadget)

Aug 14th 2010 9:10AM "Chrome OS ...has the potential to do for netbooks what Android has done for smartphones"

No, see, Android is all about increasing the functionality of mobile handsets and Chrome OS is... well.

Exclusive: Sony Ericsson to introduce Android 3.0 gaming platform and PSP Go-like smartphone (Engadget)

Aug 12th 2010 2:11PM @n11 Now make Firefox to Phone and I'm game.
