There's just something about that small, sliding PSP that makes it desirable.

I have a hacked launch PSP-1000 and I couldn't be happier... or could I? Sometimes I think I just want things to hack them, even if I have the older, more tested models.

I think I recall Engadget's hands-on (or another tech blog) saying it felt kinda cramped and the build quality was iffy. Mehhh..

Oh right, back to Scribblenauts.
I'd prefer the Red Rocket, and in that size, the Red Pocket Rocket.
Am I supposed to post a comment here? The link seems to just go to endgadget.com... sigh...
I don't really know why this is that ridiculous. Ok, Windows (namely Vista) has numerous SKU packages. This chart, much like a basic multiplication table found in a second grade classroom, is "find what you have in the row, find what you want in the target, look at the cell to see what you have to do." Not complicated, installing Microsoft Office takes more steps than this and they've made it as point and click as it gets.

Why is no one harping on the ACTUAL good news, which is that Windows 7 is going back to the XP concept of just "Home", "Professional" and then an extra ZOMG "Ultimate" (probably Media Center related).

Microsoft has to cater to their market share, which by the way encompasses a much larger audience than Apple, including Joe six-packs. This chart is common sense to begin with, you can't just change 32-bit to 64-bit and expect to keep the OS intact like that. What operating system can you do this with already? Of course it requires a clean install (read: custom install).

This article saddens me since I think it reflects poorly on Engadget. Microsoft does tons of unnecessary charts and diagrams to herd the sheep that are your home user. Hell, they do it even with MSDN content too sometimes. Microsoft is like that professor in highschool/college that thinks it's necessary to explain, illustrate, re-illustrate, and diagram the same concept over and over while everyone moans and groans "yeah.. we got it."
I think we can all agree that this in itself is lame.

The part that's ironic for me is that the iPhone's autocorrect suggests these words already. It will, at times, suggest 'Fuck' and 'Shit' as correcting you, and not just when it 'learns' them, it's in the base dictionary I'm fairly confident.

Even if it somehow isn't, I was eating lunch one day and trying to text with one hand and mistyped 'depth' with an extra e, 'deepth'. Guess what it suggested I finish it out with? Deepthroating. I'm fairly confident I never have typed that on my phone before, ever.

So the whole Apple iPhone itself should be rated 17+!
Anyone else first thought as "ass to mouth scam" ? Just me? :/
That may be true, but I think the real issue here is that it was discovered on Apple's platform and that the iPhone, unlike many (non-smart) phones has an OS people are very familiar with. If you somehow pulled this off on a RAZR, or some random Nokia, I doubt it would be as effective.

Not to mention the iPhone is supremely popular. Not to say that other phones aren't, but it goes back to the prior point.

Also I think there's a shock factor when a huge (?) exploit comes from a Mac OS product, since the whole Mac and PC commercials seems to try and convey otherwise.
Olivia Munn, always have been a huge fan. She's not only hot, but also quite personable.
The amount should be closer to the amount that they have changed, perhaps 1 million USD. Why? Because it is a waste of someone's time and Dell has been doing this so many times it's like either fire your webmaster or get a new marketing plan -- or both. Dell is a bigger company too, 30 grand is like a CEO's lunch money.

I'm sick of the internet becoming a place of traps and gotchas and bullshit advertisements. It's bad enough that everywhere is chock full of these types of advertisements and pyramid schemes in order to get people to work for a 'free iPod.' True, there's no such thing as a free lunch, so QUIT ADVERTISING IT.

We know Dell would probably not sell a monitor for $15, but that's not our job to oversee that monitors are priced correctly. Seriously, did the guy just not proofread the site after changing/listing it? That's his job. He should be fired on principle alone. That's like someone going "Oh, I should wash my hands after going to the restroom?" that works a food service establishment. Duh.

Time is money, if they waste ours they should pay for it.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
