Time Warner wants to know if it should get tough about rate hikes {Engadget HD}

Dec 2nd 2009 3:58AM Ya, my dad's TWC bill just went up $7 for whatever reason, and while home for Thanksgiving I realized that the HD channels they promised months ago still weren't available. So of course when I called to ask where was ESPNU HD so I could watch my team in HD, they needed to send out someone the next day (really, you can just flip a switch, c'mon). And low and behold, no phone call and a no show the next day from TWC. So typical.

USB Inserts bring ads into the print age and back again... or something {Engadget}

Nov 30th 2009 9:31PM I'm not the biggest environmentalist around (I think Greenpeace is pretty worthless), but this is just another huge waste of material. Right up there with the deteriorating disposable DVDs to replace rentals. At least straight print ads can be recycled. Apparently marketing/ad departments just hate the earth.

Ask Engadget HD: Should the FCC kill DTV for better technology? {Engadget HD}

Nov 16th 2009 3:16PM Well, of course the FCC wants to get rid of free OTA because the government can't tax it in its current structure. But image all the new tax revenue if they could force that remaining 10% onto satellite or cable. Either they get to charge a fee in the bill, or if they provide "free" basic to people you know everyone will have to pay some "extended cable" tax like the phone tax during tax returns or something as an excuse for making it free.

This administration tries to make the middle class and below believe they are getting tax cuts, but people still fail to realize that EVERYONE pays taxes like sales tax or the potential cable taxes, regardless of your income level.
