Nokia Booklet 3G review {Engadget}

Dec 4th 2009 1:18PM Uh, no chief, it's a netbook.

Nokia offers sneak peek at improved 2010 Symbian user interface {Engadget}

Dec 3rd 2009 7:29AM @(Unverified)

Symbian has around 50% of the smartphone OS homie, they're not losing anything right now but at most a few points that may had went to RIM or Apple.

ViewSonic outs 23-inch VP2365wb and 26-inch VP2655wb IPS LCD monitors {Engadget}

Dec 2nd 2009 10:19AM Ugh, why doesn't anyone do 16:10 monitors anymore? 16:9 might be more functional for movies, but I don't use my PC for that, I use it for work, and 16:10 is much better IMO for business use. Shame only the overpriced jammer comes in 16:10. When I've got toolbars in Photoshop and rack stands in Reason 4, 120px makes a difference, it really does.

Apple dings Psystar for $2.67m, round two heads to Florida {Engadget}

Pretty sure it is burned properly because the program does RUN it just cannot write the EFI section.

Apple dings Psystar for $2.67m, round two heads to Florida {Engadget}

Dec 1st 2009 3:28PM The funny part is RebelEFI is junk. It doesn't work on ANY of the 9-10 machines I've tested, it simply conks out with multiple write errors when booting the demo CD. Which I would had actually bought it if it did work. A triple boot rig would be awesome but I have a weird OEM board so Hackintoshing has been unsuccessful for me.

Dell Precision M6500 mixes Core i7 with business savvy {Engadget}

Dec 1st 2009 7:20AM @mikmik111

It doesn't, as Dell has shown with the Latitude Z. But alot of the things in the M6500 require alot of space.

"support for up to three storage devices with optional RAID configurations"

That one primarily comes to mind.

Take your apps to the table with these iPhone icon coasters {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}

Nov 29th 2009 12:56PM These are very cute, and I'm sure would be very entertaining. I don't even own an iPhone or iPod Touch but I still think these would be a very, very cool conversation starter when guests come over!

Apple's Mac mini tops chart of 'green' computers {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}

Nov 27th 2009 6:24PM obo

Your little tirade still doesn't stop the data from being incomplete. If you had READ what I wrote, you'd notice majority of my criticism was with where the iMac was placed, being a clearly faster machine by a factor of several TIMES the Atom PC's, yet still able to rank among them. The mini's position over Atom based nettops is even more remarkable; but they simply do not tell you the machine is faster, or offer a link to benchmarking. I have a hard time believe I'm the only person who would think this is suspect.

To go back to my car analogy, the iMac would be akin to seeing a Corvette get about 35MPG on the highway with 435HP vs the Corolla's 120HP, and saying "Oh, the Corolla get's 3 more MPG". You don't see a shootout between different engine categories in car mags, because that would make the results inaccurate at best, worthless at worst.

The lack of data on the chip speed or differences in display size is a huge omission because it EXISTS on other product categories on this site, namely LCD/Plasma TV's. Why weren't these machines divided by processor type or screen size? Awfully fishy to me.
