Going magenta
I didn’t really have the time to re-tool my site to go magenta the right way like the Phone Scoop guys, but feel free to swipe the above image — that’s Engadget Mobile magenta #ed008c with Linotype’s VAG Round (which can be found online for free with a bit of searching).
On a personal note, I [...]
Vimeo pulls Engadget video with no notification
Apparently we jumped from the frying pan (YouTube) into the fire by hosting Engadget video on Vimeo. It was nice for a little while until they pulled our BlackBerry 9000 video down “as a result of a third-party notification by Research In Motion” without so much as emailing to let us know what’s up. [...]
Amusing Live Search result for Engadget
Certainly no one can ping Microsoft’s Live Search for weighting down anything fruit-related.
Nielson / Comscore traffic numbers vs. reality
If it wasn’t clear by now, I find discussing traffic numbers pretty passe and gauche (always have). Yes, Engadget is at or near the top of the heap in tech news — but as an editor, to me, that’s not really what’s important. The numbers are an effect — not a cause — of reputation, [...]
Engadget: now AOL’s largest iPhone magnet
We don’t usually get very granular about traffic stats (I find that conversation kind of trite and even a little gauche), but you can imagine my surprise when the following iPhone usage chart hit my inbox this week. (Okay, I admit, I wasn’t that surprised.) Throughout AOL’s extensive and heavily trafficked content network, Engadget has [...]
6,000 posts, keep on churning
Just another day at the office. You know, for the young aspiring bloggers out there (who seem to be pinging with increasing frequency as of late), there was a time when I had no idea how I was even going to make it to a thousand stories at Engadget.
See also the 6,000th post and my [...]
Belkin gifts OLPC in my name — thanks!
Now that the biggest tech shows of the year are through, I’m finally getting a chance to put things back together at the Block-Belmont abode. In going through some unopened holiday mail, I came across this note, sent unsolicited, from Belkin:
In celebration of the holiday season Belkin has made a donation to One Laptop Per [...]
CES and Macworld: done, finally
Not that we’re out of the woods just quite yet, but there’s a certain sense of relief when everyone gets to go home, recover and tend to their wounds, and officially say we’ve made it over the CES / Macworld hump — by far the hardest two weeks of the year.
Of course, it wasn’t all [...]
Back from CES, at Macworld tomorrow!
What a crazy fun couple of weeks. Back from CES with the same illness I had before shipping out (isn’t that always the way?); the team was a sight to behold, absolutely a well-oiled machine. I really can’t thank this crew enough for making Engadget possible. Such amazing people, unbelievable.
Be sure to check us all [...]
Kindle: the unpublished review
So I’d intended to write a review (on top of the rest of the coverage) of the Kindle, and finished about 80% in the first week or so. But, as sometimes happens, I got crazy busy with a bunch of other projects and wasn’t ever able to totally polish it off. It’s still not complete [...]
I'm an editor and technology critic in the midst of founding a new web startup:
