Apple tablet rumor roundup: future of media edition {Engadget}
Nov 4th 2009 1:37AM I like you Nilay. Engadget rounding up all the related news in one post instead of several pointless posts is almost a dream come true. If you will please extend this practice to ALL Apple announcements like you do to every other announcement, I will rescind the 'bias' sticker I have pasted on you.
The plastic board looks interesting, but do we have any sense of its scale?
'Electronic Fog' From Wireless Devices Might Block Study of Space {Switched.com}
Nov 3rd 2009 11:54AM Technically all radios broadcast on every frequency. They just broadcast most powerfully on the frequencies they are tuned to, and less powerfully (by huge factors) on all the other ranges.
On top of that, you have all kinds of frequency shifting effects from materials found in every day life.
It is quite crowded and noisy out there in the wireless spectrum.
Think of nighttime in a city, where all the lights are on. Sure none of them are very bright, but together they block out the stars.
PlayStation Home 'not a priority right now' for Sony, most people seem to feel the same way (update: misquote) {Engadget}
Nov 2nd 2009 12:23PM That's it, I'm selling my PS3 and buying an Xbox.

Unfinished Windows 7 feature exploited for virtual WiFi hotspots {Engadget}
Nov 2nd 2009 2:58AM This allows you to take your laptop to a hotspot (or your home wireless network) and connect to it via your wifi card, and then turn around and share that connection with other users around you by creating a new wireless network from the same wifi card.
So in essence its like you have 2 wifi cards in your computer instead of just one.
Zune HD stops syncing playcounts with nary a firmware fix in sight {Engadget}
Oct 27th 2009 12:22PM Its true, there hasn't been a press release, but the Zune Insider talked about this in show # 42 around 24 minutes 40 seconds.
Basically they say the Zune team knows about this and considers it a big deal and is working on it. They talked about how it IS a big deal to release new firmware and I took it as they don't want to release a patch just for a playcount fix, but it will be fixed in the next big firmware release which we all know is coming this November, so probably a few weeks.

iPhone and iPod touch radio app with iTunes store integration on the horizon? {Engadget}
Oct 13th 2009 9:10PM Ohh wow, Zune has had this for years. iPhone fail.
Feels good to finally be able to say something like that...
Deutsche Telekom CFO on T-Mobile USA: 'we lost customers because many... couldn't get 3G' {Engadget Mobile}
Oct 13th 2009 2:13PM This is NOT where they need to be going... Admittedly LTE isn't quite ready, but 3G is too old and quite frankly not good enough. It would have been smarter to build out a WiMAX network (or a more expensive LTE network) and just kill 3G now.
