We know you’ve got questions, and if you’re brave enough to ask the world for answers, here’s the outlet to do so. This week’s Ask Engadget question is coming to us from Geoff, who is hoping to find a new LCD to serve two masters. “I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!” The glaring omission of a price limit here…

Skinni Popcorn is a new app that integrates movie-related tweets, movie trailers, New York Times reviews (when available), and synopses of films, all in a mobile-friendly app that looks great on an iPhone. Created by digital shop mN , Skinni Popcorn was created because “sometimes you just quickly want to know ‘is this film worth seeing?’” according to the website. Also, the creators think that people enjoy reading mini-reviews from real people in addition to the opinions of film critics. All of this information is packaged in a concise, easily digestible format and seems to work well so far. Sponsor Skinni Popcorn also includes links to Yahoo! Movies pages for each film. mN…

PCWorld and CIO.com ran a story by Shane O’Neill today alleging that Microsoft’s search engine Bing returns results for certain queries that are contrary to the searcher’s intent and biased in favor of Microsoft. “Why is Windows so expensive?” and “Is Microsoft evil?” are the two examples O’Neill says bring back anti-Apple and anti-Google search results. The only problem is, that doesn’t seem true. At least not anymore in our experience. While some Microsoft conspiracy theories may have some merit (European courts say so), this one either doesn’t or has …

In a recent Los Angeles Police Protective League blog post, President Paul M. Weber raised some concerns about the boys in blue switching to Google-hosted services. The group received their latest computer system after donations from the Michael Jackson memorial service at Staples Center crashed the department website and took out their old system for most of the day. As the second-largest city in the US, they knew they needed to modernize; however, Weber raises legitimate concerns over the department’s consideration of a $7.25 million contract with Google to replace the city’s email and records retention system. Sponsor Said Weber, “This is a complex technological issue that demands careful study and planning by the city. Before the city introduces an outside entity …

The Electric Transportation Engineering Corporation (eTec), has received a grant of $99.8 million from the Department of Energy to make widespread electric vehicles and the requisite charging station infrastructure a reality. Needless to say, this is a formidable task — but eTec will bring relevant experience. As a long-time partner with Nissa North America, the company worked to get the car giant’s electric model ( the zero-emission LEAF ) into marketable shape. Setting the stage for its launch next year, eTec has also conducted extensive studies on the five-passenger LEAF models to fine tune vehicle electric charging stations able to be used by a range of cars. It’s new…

Mixing commercial and social elements in an online community is an extraordinarily delicate game. It’s partly why Twitter has been careful about how it will monetize its business and why Facebook confronted an uproar after it launched its controversial Beacon advertising program two years ago. People “friend” and “follow” to stay connected, not to be bombarded with advertising — and they certainly don’t want to be thrust into shilling products or services. A Vancouver-based Twitter developer named Adarsh Dilip wants to turn that notion on its head by letting people opt-in and cheer on their favorite local businesses and …

Nvidia reported better-than-expected revenues for its second fiscal quarter, prompting a 9 percent jump in its stock price in after-hours trading thanks to renewed hopes of a turnaround in personal computing. Nvidia sells graphics chips for the PC and its results are, like Intel’s, a barometer for the health of the overall computer industry. The company’s fiscal second quarter ended July 26, a month after Intel’s, and so its results are a more recent snapshot of the industry recovery. There was one hiccup. The company set aside $119.1 million to pay for defects related to the “bump crack” flaw that has dogged the company for more …

Hey Antonio Cromartie, tweet this — you’re busted! The San Diego Chargers have fined their star cornerback $2,500 for using Twitter to wonder whether the “nasty food” has contributed to the Bolts failing to make it to the Super Bowl in recent years. Cromartie said he was pulled out of a meeting by Twitter cop/head coach Norv Turner and notified that he was being fined. Cromartie also was a given a letter that spelled out the fine. The fourth-year pro had a good laugh over the matter, but said he’s going to be more careful. Still, he’s not going to stop tweeting. He also thinks the fine is a bit …

Microsoft Corp. will hire at least 400 workers from Yahoo Inc. if government regulators approve the companies’ proposed Internet search partnership, and Yahoo will receive $150 million to cover any unexpected costs during the switch to new technology. Those details emerged Tuesday in a regulatory filing that elaborated on an agreement announced last week. Sunnyvale-based Yahoo said then that an unspecified number of its 13,000 employees would be offered jobs at Microsoft after the Redmond, Washington-based software maker assumes control of the search results and search advertising on Yahoo’s Web site. The transition is supposed to begin early next year, assuming the alliance is approved by antitrust regulators in the United States and Europe. Microsoft will pay $…
