Geekfighting may never become its own UFC event, but following tech news this week seemed, in places, like a view to a big, well-funded cage match. Things got so rowdy that Kara Swisher could hear them all the way across “The Pond.”  Read more...

Confession: I haven’t seen September Dawn. I didn’t know about the movie until today. What I do know is that the actress who plays the creepy Palm Pre chick dies at the 3:01 mark of this clip. In creepy fashion.  Read more...

Motorola has finally announced its bet-the-company Android handset. At an event in San Francisco this morning, Sanjay Jha, Motorola’s co-CEO and CEO of the company’s handset division, uncrated the CLIQ, a device it describes unremarkably as the “first phone with social skills.”  Read more...

The Palm Pixi has officially arrived, and if you’re an avid reader of Engadget (you’d better be), this device should look a little bit familiar to you. We first broke specs and images of the phone — codenamed Eos and the alternately-spelled “Pixie” — back in April, when we nabbed what appeared to be a leak of a new, Centro-esque phone headed to AT&T.

Electronic Arts knows that we can’t wait to get our Tetris fix on the Palm Pre, so instead of making us wait until the October release of Tetris Mania, they’ve released a thirty second demo. A thirty-freakin’-second demo.  Read more...

I have bought all three generations of iPhones on launch day, but I cannot take it any longer. In the end, it was rejection of Google Voice from the App Store that drove me to this point, but that was just the tip of the spear. Whether it is their refusal to let other gadgets such as the Palm Pre interface with iTunes, or their Draconian App Store procedures…I simply cannot support them with a clear conscience, which is why I chose to end the life of my iPhone in this manner instead of …  Read more...

This year’s crop of Electrolux Design Lab entries include several gadgets you have little chance of finding in your kitchen of the future.

Why: Unless you can find a way to live for another 1000 years, a fridge that teleports food to you probably won’t be a part of your kitchen of the future.  Read more...
