Found Footage: Why we use a Mac (TUAW.com)

Jul 27th 2009 8:52PM I use a Mac because they are stable, secure, elegant, and hold their value.

Engadget's recession antidote: win one of 100 Microsoft Windows 7 pre-order discount codes! (Engadget)

Jun 25th 2009 4:31PM Commenting on epic Windows 7 thread

Palm webOS system upgrades mandatory; hacking scene forbidden from tethering (Engadget)

Jun 15th 2009 2:25PM I don't think that its unreasonable for Palm to request this one issue not be openly discussed when they have made the rest of the phone completely and utterly hackable. They still have to pay lip service to Sprint and I think its noble of both Palm and the maintainers of these sites to come to a gentleman's agreement about a few closed door topics. When carrier exclusivity comes to an end I think that this will be a non-issue and the doors swung wide open but for now they need to tread lightly.

How would you change Apple's Nehalem-based Mac Pro? (Engadget)

May 9th 2009 1:54AM It's a nice piece of kit but unless you are performing CPU intensive tasks on a normal basis, its overkill. A few friends with Mac Pros have described "CPU cycle guilt" after taxing their system no more than 10% its potential in a given month. Here's hoping for the fabled Mac Semi-Pro.

Engadget's 5th birthday giveaway, part 1: win an Optimus Maximus keyboard! (Engadget)

Apr 16th 2009 2:50AM Probably Ryan's mea culpa on the whole iPhone fiasco, it was well done. seriously

Google Chrome First Impression: Is It What You Expected? (Download Squad)

Sep 2nd 2008 9:37PM I don't think that they would try to prevent ad-blocking extensions as it would give seasoned Firefox users a major reason not to convert. Just browsing some of the comment threads from the blogosphere today, lack of an extension API has to be the top criticism. Considering the lengths Google went to emphasize that Chrome isn't just a marketing tool for their services, I would be very surprised if they took an "anti ad-block" stance.

Poll: How's your iPhone 3G reception? (Engadget)

Jul 17th 2008 7:00PM I had an LG CU500 for a while here in Austin, it led me to believe that the reception of the 3G iPhone would be a little bit better than it actually is. Pretty much anywhere indoors I get 1 to 0 bars of 3G service, outside seems to be the only place I can get semi-decent 3G reception. 3G is nice to have and I wish I could use it more places but that leads to my other big complaint, battery life. I want to have my cake and eat it too damnit!

Happy birthday: take a trip in America's largest flying gadget (part 1) (Engadget)

Mar 23rd 2008 8:48PM One day I will win an Engadget contest; at least I keep telling myself that.

Worst parents in the world punk kid into thinking he got an Xbox 360 (Engadget)

Mar 1st 2008 12:00AM The fact of the matter is this, we don't know anything about these people or the situation surrounding what happened. All I know is I just saw a kid's heart break on Christmas and thats f-ed up in my book. Ryan, it is awesome of you to try to hook this kid up and its another reason for me to love Engadget.
