When Ryan Block (our former Editor-in-chief) and Peter Rojas (founder of Engadget, Gizmodo, and RCRD LBL) announced last year that they were embarking on a new project together, alarm bells went off across the interblogs. Following nearly 12 months of rampant speculation, the duo’s hard work is finally revealed. Combining the best of social [...]
As we noted when we heard about our nomination for this award, it’s not about the prizes and plaques for us at Engadget. That said, when news came down the line that we’d won the EPpy Award for “Best Consumer Technology Blog,” we did feel a pang of pride. It’s always nice to be recognized [...]
We don’t really like to get self-congratulatory at Engadget — we prefer to let the work speak for itself. Still, we thought it was pretty cool when we heard that we’d been nominated for an EPpy Award in the category of “Best Consumer Technology Blog.” We’re not alone, either — the AOL family picked up [...]
You know, we were as surprised as anyone to see a totally out-of-context quote of ours used on a Monster Cable site (without permission, mind you) to sell the company’s “Beats by Dre” headphones (you can see the screen cap after the break).

Thanks Phil! That’s one sweet laser.
If you’ve been wondering what former editor-in-chief (but current editor-at-large) Ryan Block has been up to since he left the site, wonder no more! He and Engadget founder Peter Rojas have just soft-launched their latest foray into the world of gadgets, fittingly (and simply) named… gdgt. Right now they’re just getting off the ground, but [...]
For most of us here, at some point the sensation of breaking the news takes hold and turns into something else, something much more like an addiction. It really gets into you, keeps you up at night, makes you stay in on weekends. It’s in Engadget’s DNA, and it’s what’s kept me glued to the [...]
As of a couple redesigns ago, Engadget’s content column has been variable width, meaning the wider your browser, the wider the content.
