Darren Murph, an editor for gadget blog Engadget.com has snagged a Guinness World Records award for the most posts ever written by a blogger. This is the first award of this category given away by Guinness. Darren joined Engadget in July 2006 and he wrote 17,212 blog posts in about 4 years. These include single posts written on Engadget, Engadget HD, and Engadget Mobile. He also wrote 59 posts in one day during CES 2008. At the time he received his award, he had also written about 3,389,148 words. That is impressive! Just as a comparison, I have written over 7,100 single posts since starting Pulse2 in September 2006. Congrats to Darren! [Engadget]

PC World shows us they certainly did write things down, in that evasive Apple tone that always leaves room for immediate alteration in policy. Read More

This is interesting. Engadget has a screenshot of the UK Apple Store that shows iOS 4.1 scheduled to be released on Wednesday, September 8th.

The US Website still shows the usual “Coming Soon” announcement so we’ll go out on a limb here and say that the 8th is the day. Any ideas on how this inconsistency of information happens? Read More
