Under the TV. First off. The last paragraph is the second longest run-on sentence I have ever seen, and they spell "anywhere" as "anyware".
WTF.

AT&T slinging HSPA 7.2 to six cities this year, adding backhaul capacity too {Engadget Mobile}
Sep 9th 2009 4:32PM So excuse my ignorance on the iPhone 3GS and AT&T's networks, but please answer this for me:
The iPhone 3GS IS CAPABLE of 7.2mbps download speeds, but right now AT&T DOESN'T HAVE 7.2mbps download speeds?
And until AT&T updates all of their locations, the only places that WILL have the 7.2mbps download speeds will be the above mentioned places and the rest will have to wait until their cities are updated (as late as 2011?!?!) in order to get 7.2mbps download speed?
By the time there is 7.2mbps download speeds across the majority of the AT&T network, there will probably be 2 updated versions of the iPhone released.
That's like getting an 8cyl car, and being told you can only use 4cyl until we roll out an update for your car in 2 years.
If that's the case, people who bought the iPhone 3GS are retarded.

For The Skeptics Out There

After reading some good reviews for BluWave, I read a bad one today from a writer at Engadget. I enjoy Engadget by the way, but they are being very unfair to Blu Wave. They wrote this article without giving the app a real try.
I created this application based on real science. I am not saying this is designed to replace larger light light therapy devices and medication, but it is an excellent supplement that when used as directed, can really give you an extra mental boost. It's true science. Your brain reacts to blue light. We set it up to be adjustable throughout the blue spectrum so people can adjust it to the levels that they best respond to. This is not a cure-all, but it is a natural way to perk yourself up.
BlackBerry Storm 2's voodoo-powered screen torn apart, raises more questions {Engadget Mobile}

Sprint loses $384m, 257k subscribers in first quarter of Pre availability {Engadget Mobile}
Jul 29th 2009 9:44PM Here we ago again with Sprint...
Well, a few things, and I am not going to get in too much depth here.
A: Is going CDMA rather than LTE killing Sprint right now? No. No Sprint clients other than us geeks who comment here even know what the hell LTE and CDMA means. Not to say that's not going to come back and shoot them in the foot in a few years, it will, but at this particular time, no one cares and isn't jumping ship because "Sprint isn't jumping to LTE 3 years from now". Those of you who think the LTE is the reason are idiots and don't deserve to be posting on a site like this.
B: As far as GSM carriers getting "better phones", that I must somewhat agree with.
C: Coverage. Yeah. Sprint isn't the greatest, but it's not too bad either. I actually spent the last 3 weeks toting around some Sprint phones just to see what kind of coverage on average they would get, and I can honestly say that I wasn't as disappointed as what I expected to be.
D: Customer service. Yes. Sprint Customer Service and Tech Support was HORRIBLE back in the day. It has gotten much better compared to 6-12 months ago. One issue with Sprint though are ridiculous "pre-approval" standards that they use. They still act as if they are the premier carrier in the US, and of all the credit apps they receive, over 50% of consumer apps come back as "$200+ deposit required". Get over yourself Sprint. You need to be taking all you can get right now. Thus the reason IMO why they inked the Virgin deal. They are losing a SHITLOAD of money obviously...They need to stop that bleeding. In today's economy, how better than to absorb and try to put on some pre-paid customers rather than post paid.
But let's step back and see why Sprint went from being number one to number none. Bottom line. They fucked their customers years ago, and people don't forgive and forget...They remember. How many of you had Sprint back in the day and started getting screwed on your bills? Mainly, all of a sudden you were getting charged for long distance calls when they were included in your plans. HRM. Once you lose the trust of your clients, its hard as hell, if not IMPOSSIBLE to regain that trust, no matter how hard you try.
There is no way that you can argue that the Simply Everything Plan is the best deal in market right now. Not only for the standards like unlimited calling, text, etc. But the extra "perks" like included Sprint Navigation, Sprint TV (even basic), Sprint Radio, etc.
And don't blame the Sprint downfall on the Nextel merger....Sprint was going downhill way before that.
Sprint needs to drop their ego, and try and take on TMOBILE for clients rather than trying to take on Verizon and AT&T.
Will that happen though? Hell no. Sprint is too arrogant thinking they have no problems. Yes Sprint. You have problems. Not challenges. But P-R-O-B-L-E-M-S
