Nathalie Walker - With You.
Her latest album just released yesterday. Burned it this morning for a friend.
Am I the only one who can't download ffmpegX? It gets 99.9% downloaded, and then craps out with a POSIX error, whatever that is. I've been trying for 2 days! Any suggestions?
Jobs: ...and I was like "$0.99 cents boys, take it or leave it." And they were like "we'll leave it." And I was like, "Cya." And they were like "No wait, come back!"

Gates: Hahahahaha! You're so full of crap! Hahahaha!


What a great picture. So many great captions could be used. I really like the 'pull my finger' one.
- I don't think Brian's big mistake was creating the software. Like no one has ever played a joke with a friends computer before? But creating a whole website for it and getting a domain name? Woah ... bad move Brian. Stick with emailing such apps to your friends. Don't screw around in the public domain like that unless you're ready for it. (you aren't ready for it)

- David, David, David. You clearly weren't thinking. I know you tested it on your own machine, but after it didn't appear to do anything and after reading the intent in the readme, weren't you the least suspicious? Why would you post it before having thoroughly checked its authenticity? (running it once and then posting is not thorough) With no warning to your readers??

A wise supporting actor once said, "With great power comes great responsibility." I may be wrong, but I consider TUAW a major media outlet for the Mac community. And it seems you forgot what writing for it commands of you. I think we all know what would happen if a writer in the traditional news media printed a story that was (albeit unintentionally) misrepresenting and damaging to readers. There would be a retraction, an apology, and then the writer would get canned. Too harsh? Maybe, but that's the real world. Perhaps Weblogs, Inc. should have editors for more than just Engadget so that something like this doesn't happen again.
I'm more concerned with where that Verizon logo came from. Did you guys redraw it in MS Paint?!
Don't see any updates for my iMac G5 2Ghz. Good.
Because he knows he's getting his picture in the paper.
forget Motorola man, ever heard of Norelco? hahaha j/k. Seriously, glad you came away with only a minor bruise and an AWESOME story. All I can say is this: when it comes to geeks and their gadgets, don't mess!
I think Grill Man is on target with the price, $8-10K easy. If you look at Fuego's site, though, you'll see a hood. It's really a retractable cover, it's not very tall. Obviously, it's not being aimed at grilling/bbq'ing purists. If it was, it would need to have an optional fire-box underneath so you can use your choice of wood like the pros do (mmm..)

Still, after thoroughly checking out its features on the site and showing to all my work buddies, I must say I'm in love with it. The modern design is right up my alley, and the innovation and attention to detail seems to be excellent. It definitely belongs in the Design Within Reach catalog. And good catch Allen... Fuego was indeed launched by Robert Brunner, former head of industrial design at Apple! What do ya know?!

@Jazzay: Ok, I get it now. Thanks for explaining. The only speakers I have that are able to produce a high enough quality sound are Klipsch floor standing speakers and bookshelf surrounds for my home theater. They're killer, but I don't play music in there. Not even that much on my home computer. Just in my car (stock speakers), or with Sony earbuds ($50), or a portable dock w/ speakers at work. Thanks for the links.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"With all the new multitouch capable monitors coming out, which one is the best? With the release of Windows 7 I really want a touchscreen monitor for my desktop. I'm looking to get a Full HD monitor that supports multitouch and can still look great during gaming and movies. Which one has the best specs for the price?"
