Filed under: Podcasts It wasn't easy to find things to talk about this week, but wouldn't you know there was not stopping as once we got started. As you can expect we got a little riled up about sales people recommending LCDs over Plasmas by three to one, even though they don't know why. Then we talked some Hollywood vs the consumer as we shared our ideas and personal ethics when it comes to copyright....
Filed under: Ask Engadget HD , Tuners , OTA Following up on last week's promise , we present to you a similar (but very different) question about pulling in OTA signals: "I'm relatively close to my local TV stations, and I'm not looking to overtake my roof with chicken wire in order to get a signal. I want an OTA antenna that can be setup indoors, preferably something that's either easily hidden or...
Since before Blend Tech began I've been a fan of numerous tech websites and blogs, as can be seen in man of our posts crediting such sites with news. Engadget has always been at the top of my too read list, and master tech expert and editor extraordinaire Ryan Block was always a big part of that.
Along with that "other phone", Palm (relatively quietly) launched their 800w, and the early reviews have been pouring in.

Big staffing changes coming to Engadget, AOL's top tech blog: Editor-in-chief Ryan Block is, as rumored, leaving in late August to launch a startup , and staffer Josh Topolsky will take his position. Engadget Managing Editor Joshua Fruhlinger -- a candidate for Block's old job -- gets kicked upstairs; he'll be overseeing the AOL Tech network, which includes Engadget and its various spinoffs, and sites...
It’s true, my last day as Engadget’s editor-in-chief will be late next month (my official announcement is here). Without question, this has been the hardest decision I’ve ever made, but I know it’s the right one. But as much as I’m looking forward to the challenges ahead (and grateful they’re not Motorola-related), I’m also [...]
Ryan Block confirms our previous story that he’s stepping down from the top spot at gadget blog Engadget.

The content will still be DRM'd...

Of the 1,000 ports surrounding the iPhone 3G's launch, less than 40% were from T-Mobile to AT&T. By comparison,...

freedom.jpg Originally uploaded by redbarren It's always interesting seeing what people say in their " I'm moving on " post, and Engadget as Email King Jason Calacanis well evangelised was one of the first mainstream blogs, in the highly valued technology sector, and part of (one of?) the first major blog acquisitions. JC has talked about he recruited Rojas, how the blogger was the star, an equity...
by Darren Murph , posted Jul 22nd 2008 at 5:00PM From all the coffee shop musicians here at Engadget, we'd like to sincerely thank Belkin for producing this marvelous device. For the rest of us who run around on stage like madmen, we have our doubts about how well this will work.
