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. Readers with big widescreen monitors can feel the full effect, but we’re also cognizant of the reading issues go along with having too much width, so we’ve been toying with the idea of [...]
After yesterday’s very real and not-at-all-fake story about Deutsche Telekom demanding Engadget discontinue using the color magenta, and today being what it is, we’re putting up some new wallpaper on all the Engadget sites and ever so slightly tweaking Engadget Mobile’s logo. We hope you approve!

It’s always nice to be recognized, especially by those high-caliber tech journos like Steven Levy, who gave Engadget a shout out in the intro to his new book, The Best of Technology Writing 2007:

Indeed it was a banner year here at Engadget — completely thanks to you, of course. Google may have its Zeitgeist, but we figured we could at least cap things off with a few lists of the most well-read posts of 2007 (and a few stats, to boot). Also, don’t forget to check out the [...]
