jeremytoday — Sun, 01 Oct 2006 16:07:58 EDT

AIM Light has no ads, no VOIP, no file-transfer, and a TINY footprint... in fact, I think it is the lightest IM client you run on your machine. This is something you could run on OLPC level machine (yes, I know it's a Windows product right now, but you get the idea).

Cingular bans the word Engadget

okitech — Wed, 13 Sep 2006 08:26:34 EDT

Oh, Cingular. We know you're ed at us -- you stopped returning our phone calls a while ago after we posted that product roadmap we got our hands on -- but banning all mention of our name, as well as our URL, from your user forums is a little cheap and heavy-handed, don't you think? Guess you don't want your users making informed decisions about you.
