Western Digital 1TB DVR Expander pre-orders up at Amazon, Apricorn add-ons get a face lift (Engadget)

Apr 12th 2009 11:19PM That seems quite expensive to me. I long ago added a 1TB drive to my DirecTV DVR in a eSATA external enclosure for less than these sell for, and at today's prices you could do it for under a hundred bucks.

Podcaster dev can't provision any more licenses (TUAW.com)

Sep 24th 2008 12:11PM You said: "Does no one see how juvenile it is to respond to a company that basically *created* podcasting, by knifing them in the back when they do the very first thing you don't like?"

I'll call BS. In fact, you don't know what you're talking about. To suggest that Apple basically created podcasting is flat wrong, and they most certainly don't own it. I also don't see how anything anyone is saying or doing is knifing Apple in the back. Your response is the juvenile one here. Your facts are wrong, your hyperbole is typical, and once again the point gets missed.

Apple made a decision. Fine. Some people don't like that decision, understandably. The problem here is that Apple approves or disapproves of apps twice in many cases, pulling apps that have already been distributed, or saying no to apps during the app store review phase that have already been developed, without providing a process for acceptance before all the hard work is done.

Please stop saying Apple created podcasting. That's like saying Amazon basically invented books. Bad argument.

Poll: Did you cancel your Netflix account after the Blu-ray exclusive decision? (Engadget HD)

Feb 12th 2008 3:06PM Umm, the end of February change is for items in your SAVED queue - stuff that they list as releasing in the future, it apears. Not titles they already have in stock. Those go away at the end of the year. That's they way I read it. Think: When a title is not yet released, you cannot ADD it to your queue, you put it in a SAVED queue.

I'm just glad they announced it ahead of time. When blockbuster upped my account costs by almost double in the timespan of two months, they did so abruptly and with not much warning.
