Bit Che: Find and download torrents without a browser (Download Squad)

Dec 24th 2009 2:47PM Unfortunately, because of all the idiots out there that think it's funny, cool, or clever (insert your own adjective here) to upload bogus torrents, this program really isn't all that useful. One of the best thing about forum based torrent trackers is the ability to weed out the bogus torrents via user feedback.

Windows 7 could be sold on thumb drives, but probably not (Engadget)

Jun 26th 2009 2:54PM I would pay for a USB drive with Win 7 preloaded, only as long as there was not a premium charged. If the Disk is $100, the USB version should not be $150! Especially since a quality 4GB USB drive costs around $10 these days. I own 3 netbooks, and while I do own a USB CD-Rom I think it would be easier (not to mention faster) to load it from a thumbdrive. While I am quite capable of making a bootable USB drive from the disk, that is extra time I have to expend before getting started, so I would gladly pay the extra $10-$15 for it to arrive preloaded on the thumbdrive, but probably not much more than that.

Ask Engadget: What's the best dual-band router? (Engadget)

May 29th 2009 12:43AM I use a Linksys WRT600N running DD-WRT. I works great when I am in the same room, I see 10 Mbs wireless transfers regularly, eveywhere else in the house I am getting between 4 and 6 Mbs, still better than 54g. There are some limitations to DD-WRT on a wireless N 5ghz router though. Also, it pretty much renders the USB port useless unless you want to run additional linux software to mount the harddrives. The DD-WRT firmware has to be very fine tuned to get the maximum speeds out of the 5Ghz spectrum as well. Unlike the D-Link routers mentioned above this router has 3 extrenal antenna and it also has 4 Gigabit LAN ports. All around a great router. I got mine for under $200 and I regularly see refurb units for under $150 especially on the Egg. There is my .02!

Recalled: 35,000 volatile Sony batteries in Dell / HP / Toshiba laptops (Engadget)

Oct 30th 2008 7:58PM I had the same problem, I ended up calling the 800 number in hopes of getting a new battery, but alas, no such luck.

Insignia's $250 Profile 2.0 NS-2BRDVD Blu-ray player emerges at Best Buy (Engadget HD)

Oct 30th 2008 11:11AM Is it just me, or does this player look like a re-branded Samsung BD-P1500? If that's the case, why wouldnt you buy the actual Sammy player over at Amazon for $207 w/ free shipping? Maybe they are releasing this player now so they can sell it for $129 on Black Friday? Cause honestly, that is about the most I would pay for this thing.
