no its just ben. I hate that guy. Every single one of his posts is anti-hd-dvd. Even from the start. Im not talking about being pro blu-ray. Cause he will say something negative about hd-dvd rather then just say something positive about blu-ray any chance he gets. Cant stand him. Worst blogger ever. He needs to go get his own personal blog instead of wasting space on engadget
Not saying that things aren't going badly at the moment for HD-DVD. But, there's been no indication of the format "throwing in the towel." So, the headline falls more under the category of wishful thinking than reporting events. Of course, Engadget or Ben can simply decide to be an open advocate for Blue. There's nothing stopping it. But, many visitors to the blog expect to get even handed treatment on all issues HD here. So, becoming an advocacy site has consequences.
Every news source is biased, and given that this is an *editorial* site, that bias will come out far more readily. Nothing wrong with that at all.
I'm all for ending the format war. Now that the chips have fallen enough to ring the death knell, Toshiba holding out is now damaging the adoption of an HD optical format. But that's just, like, my opinion man!
I don't think this poll will take us anywhere to ending the format, but it does show that I'm not in the minority. :-)
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Man, has any pretense of objectivity at Engadget ever gone out the window.
Although this is a news outlet, nothing really says that they have to be objective. :-)
Objective obshmective... HD DVD is really at this point.

How much more of this humiliation do you guys want to take?
