Did Microsoft intentionally break commercial skipping in Media Center?

Aug 8th 2008 3:00PM on Engadget HD

fuzz - use dyndns, or a router that offers a dynamic dns forwarding service (I'm using the dlink 655 at the moment and it works great)

once it's set up, your router will update your ip to the site when comcast changes it, so all you ever have to know is: thefuzz53.dyndns.org:4337 (or whatever port you have pointing to webguide)

Sony unveils BRAVIA S4000 series LCD HDTVs

Jun 17th 2008 6:27PM on Engadget HD

Not to be critical towards sony's pr team, but that has to mathematically be the worst place of a tv I've ever seen. Tons of light, no curtains, and a couch with it's back to the tv - made out of bricks (in case you get any fancy ideas about turning it around to enjoy your new bravia).

YouTube adds annotations (and speech bubbles)

Jun 4th 2008 5:50PM on Download Squad

yeah, I mostly tongue-in-cheek, but I think closed captioning, and allowing the user at the point of upload to further edit their video and provide interactive annotations is a novel concept... but if the patent office was on its game all of that "prior art" like CC and hyperlinks, would probably raise eyebrows.

That said, with the number of patents granted to the iphone (I think it was over 200?) the USPTO hasn't exactly been stringent with the requirements.

YouTube adds annotations (and speech bubbles)

Jun 4th 2008 5:38PM on Download Squad

So basically, this is Google/Youtube crushing the dreams of Viddler.com, who had this idea first and is, either a) really sorry they didn't patent "a method for adding textual display to internet videos" or, b) calling their lawyers.

Verizon's unlimited plans get official, not as stellar as previously assumed

Feb 19th 2008 10:09AM on Engadget Mobile

I don't know if that's what to be let down over, the uber-everything plan, actually got a little sweeter from your initial report (down by 10.00). It's actually a reasonable plan for pdaphones (if those are included in this).

Palm ranks last in satisfaction survey, no one surprised

Feb 13th 2008 11:52AM on Engadget Mobile

I'll third this. I think that makes this a useless survey.

Last.fm hits Windows Mobile

Jan 11th 2008 3:53PM on Download Squad

you guys (-xpsypiex) are a bunch of negative nancy's, this is some very cool development work, the best part being the experimental radio support which lets you stream new music to your phone based on artist selection.

In other words, this isn't just a scrobbler, but potentially the kind of app that could take on things like the slacker portable device. with a 3G connection (and a carrier that won't get easily ticked off at all of the bandwidth you're using) this could well become a killer app.

Hands-on with Panasonic's Link to Cell KX-TH1211

Jan 7th 2008 2:08PM on Engadget Mobile

So this is like the intellitouch xlink, only you have to use panasonic's phones instead of any phone you want? (to the above poster, the xlink supports 3 separate bt connections)

PointUI makes Windows Mobile finger friendly

Jan 2nd 2008 6:16PM on Engadget Mobile

So far, blows spb pocket shell out of the water imo. If you have a windows mobile pro device, you simply have to try it. It's a unique interface, satisfyingly finger-friendly, and very snappy on my 6700 running wm6.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
