Thank you for the years of reading! Keep us updated on where your going so I can follow your writing.

Brad

I’m sorry to see you leave. Who will fill the void of the pixel density enthusiasts out there?

Peter Petrovski

Very sad news Paul. I didn’t realise the situation with AOL was looking so bleak. I’ve really enjoyed your work especially on the Engadget podcast and you will be missed. All the best in your future adventures and your unrelenting drive for high PPI displays.

Sean

I’m truly sad to see you go, but at the same time, I’m glad to see you taking a stand for what you believe.

God bless, Paul. I wish you the very best in the future.

Simon Reidy

Very sad to read that you are leaving Engadget Paul. I’ve always enjoyed your articles and reviews immensely as well as your insightful and funny contributions to the Engadget show and podcast.

It pisses me off to hear that yet again AOL is behind the demise of something great. Engadget was such an awesome site, but given the shitty advertising driven direction they are taking with AOL at the helm, I think I’ll be turning to other sites for my gadget news from now on.

Good luck for the future Paul. Look forward to seeing what career move you make next.

Regards,
Simon (a fellow pixel density enthusiast )

Dan

Very sad to see you go. You’re a great writer, and I’ve always thought you were the podcast’s underrated underdog. At least Josh won’t be able to cut you off anymore. Seriously though, I hope you’ll keep us updated on where you end up next. I’ll be there.

Mike

Good luck in whatever you decide to do next. You and the other guys at engadget were some of the first people whos made my interest in technology grow. Thank you for all of the brilliant articles, reviews and podcasts.

nunomaia

Kinda expected it. This way you can concentrate on running Nokia 100% focused.

ps: I know you like your partners, but i wouldnt have made it look as bad for them…staying there. Just a suggestion, even though you are entitled to express your frustration of course, makes em look… well, u know
Understand, the balance is hard. All the best Paul.

Simon

Hi Paul!
I am a Swedish student and currently studying Technology, but that is not the important part. The important part is that every time Joshua, Nilay and You release a new podcast I listen to it on my way to school. It is going to feel really empty without your voice in my ears for (almost) 2 hours every week..

I just wanted to wish you good luck in the future! I sure hope I’ll get to read more articles written by you, though. You are a really talented person and I hope you find what you are looking for!

Much Love.

Mark Spofforth

Good to see someone being the change they want to see in their world. It’s a shame to see a clear trend of blogs rising to the top – based purely on their consistent value to readers, only to suffer at the hands of greedy short-termism. All power to you. Look forward to seeing your next move.

Chad

Really enjoyed your work @Engadget. Thanks Paul. Looking forward to your next stop.

Reese Mitchell

Wonder how “The Huffington Post” will fare now that it is smothered….I mean owned by “AOHELL”…oops “AOL”.

  I think you have it backwards. I’m much more worried about Engadget now that Arianna will be in charge of the content.

    Thats exactly what I was thinking. Maybe she making big changes ahead….

    Good luck Paul you are doing what’s right!

Tony F.

I love you on the podcasts, you’ll still do those right…?Right?? :’[

Alex Meseguer

Paul, as someone who’s headed a small publication in the past and loved it dearly, I think I understand at least some of what you might be feeling. Maybe AOL’s bearing down on the site is unstoppable and maybe you don’t see it as your problem now, but I would ask you, as a huge fan of the excellent tech journalism you and your editors put out day after day, to please help put AOL’s feet to the fire over their perceived systematic dismantling of everything that makes the website great.

Maybe it’s too late. Maybe your inside view has shown you it is beyond hope, but I ask you to reconsider because sometimes you don’t know what’s possible until you try. I know you have to balance your future career prospects against your desire to speak out on this, so maybe if you can’t comment directly, be open to someone who is willing to expose the gritty underside of The AOL Way.

All the best to you in your future endeavors,
Alex Meseguer

Tom

Love the reasons you are leaving. You are a “real” Journalist. Good luck to you in the future.

AvsB

Good luck! God has bleesed you with a great gift. Use it to it’s fullest.

Thanks for the memories Paul. You’ve been a big part of what has made the site, the show and the podcast so informative and enjoyable over the years. Good luck with whatever it is you decide to pursue next.

Mary Branscombe

May I commiserate with you? I resigned from running the Technology channel on AOL UK in 2001 after the US management team came in and made us throw away five years of content and rebuild it as tiny identical pages crammed with ads and repurposed content users could get everywhere else I saw the announcement that AOL wanted to be the biggest journalism provider online and hoped it meant they’d learned something; sounds like not. I’m confident readers still want quality content but not sure who has the right business model to make that work. Good luck finding somewhere that’s got the balance (wait, that’s not meant to sound sarcastic!)

bob cobb

Oh wtf, the site and podcast will never be the same. I mean, it’s not like I’m gonna go switch to gizmodo, but ugh. Please keep all your fans posted about what you’re up to next, we all want to follow you in your future endeavors. Good luck paul!

Nirawit

Good luck and good bye. Engadget will be so different, especially the podcasts.

Randall Bennett

Hey man.

It’s crazy how much things have changed since we both landed at Engadget. Obviously you stayed longer, and pretty much took over the world, but thinking back about that plane trip to CES, pre NY for both of us, it’s great to think about how both of our careers have evolved and changed.

I’m super proud of your work, and always have been a huge fan. I’m working on some cool stuff now, and I know with the integrity you’ve always shown, wherever you end up you’ll be a huge success.

Good luck, yo!

Mathieu

Wow, I didn’t see that coming… Engadget is definitely my number one source of high tech news and it won’t be the same without you.

soviet4ever

There times where u were really annoying on podcasts but for somereason I didn’t hate u, so stinks that u leaving. Good luck and u ll be missed.

Matt Ulvila

Good luck bro, it’s been a pleasure. Stick to your guns and do something great.

Skip

Applause from me for this. I’ll be reading you wherever you land.

Thomas Monroe

Thanks Paul. As a guy who roots for Linux with you, I’ll follow you where ever you go. I hope what you Josh and Nilay created manifests into an entertaining podcast somewhere else. I’ll really miss that combo…

You brought a lot of magic to the podcast and engadget. Good luck with whatever you decide to do next.

Eli

Paul; Please don’t leave us. Make your own blog in the meantime with your own podcasts,with josh and nilay as “guests”.

Dan

Loved your stuff and it’s too bad you’re leaving. Best of luck to you to wherever life takes you!

Darin Smith

Very sorry to hear this. You have always been my favorite editor not only on engadget but any site. You will be greatly missed. I Wish you well in your future endeavors.

Ben

Best of luck!!

icebin

Good job.Paul j.miller.

Good luck, yo!

Looking forward to your future.

Austin Ware

Good luck to you Paul, may you find a display-less keyboard in your new endeavors.

Eric

best of luck to you paul! i’ll miss hearing you on the engadget podcast

Peter

Just like I’m going to forever be angryfor the cancellation of Firefly. I’m going to be angry that AOL drove one of my favorite online writers from Engadget. The podcast just won’t be the same with out you. Best of luck in your post-engadget endeavors!

dick

What a whiner! AOL screwed me!! It doesn’t like good writing!! Wah! Wah! Wah! Wah!

Nice way to leave your friends, those dumb asses who still work for AOL! You are a gem!

  Your username is fitting.

Colin Scattergood

This is incredibly sad. Good luck with your future endeavors Paul, and do keep us informed as to what they are!

Jacob Mason

Paul! It was great listening to you on the podcast every week. Please let us all know where we can follow you in the future.

God bless!

Ryan M

Its sad to see you go. I hope you will still be around, you are truly one of the best and i want to keep reading what you have to say. I wish there was a way for you to go on but still do the podcasts, but i know you cant. Thanks for every thing Paul, let us know where you end up so we can keep reading!

Matt W.

Nooooooooooo! My favorite Engadget Editor is leaving? The podcasts will never be the same without a sane voice of reason to counteract Nilay. You will be greatly missed Paul, and I plan on following your writing where ever you go.

kingblind

sorry to see you go, good luck !

Sam

Blessings with what ever you pursue next. For the sake of tinier pixels everywhere!

radu

I wondered since the moment I read it how ‘the AOL Way’ would affect Engadget. This is the worst possible outcome.

Everyone has already said it, but I wish you all the best in whatever your next stop is. Let’s just hope this isn’t the beggining of the end of Engadget as we know it.

And here’s to pixel density and a @2x iPad!

hl2run

Is this a joke??

Mike Giannas

Amazing job over the years Paul. You’ve inspired me not only in terms of your writing but podcasting. Thank you and best of luck.

Devin

Thanks for all your hard work over the years, Paul. We’ll miss you! Good luck in your future(paul) endeavorers.

Martin

Massive loss to Engadget, hopefully you will still be around for the Engadget Show?

Best of luck.

Josh Germon

I am just shocked and horrifyed. The podcast, show and site never be the same… this is terrible news FOF

Frankguillen

Launch your own tech site, you have the experience, don’t waste it, just launch your own gadget/technology site…. and congratulation, I used to be an employee of a similar company and employees are only a metric, they need us to publish publish publish, any new investment or renovation to the site or net property is alway a difficult and unconvinceable task…

I wish you the best of the best luck, but it’s guarantee, I launched my own gadget site and it worked for me, so for you Millier is more than guaranteed.

Go ahead, prove yourself and enjoy!!!!

waterwagen

Paul,

I’m shocked and sad to see this news, both because of how much I’ll miss you on Engadget and for what this indicates about the future of the site. God bless your future endeavors and I heartily second the suggestions that you head over to the TWIT network! It would seem to be a perfect landing spot for you.

SpangoRango

Live long and prosper! May the force be with you.

Best of luck Paul!

Marcel

Good luck and God bless you. Sorry to see you go. The AOL way will fail; if they dont care about quality, we don’t care about them. Google will rank contentfarms down eventually. And you’re voice will be missed on Engadget!

tonyagain (twitter)

This is the Death of Journalism for Bloggers.
Greed has already destroyed Mainstream Media now they’re trying to go after another place where we can find honest news.
This reminds me of the documentary “Media Malpractice”[DVD] by John Ziegler.
This is definitely a FOF (-_-).
To one of my favorite Engadget Editors, we will surely miss you.

Joseph Halder

FOF, you’ll be missed.

Jon

Are you sure this isn’t about Josh constantly interrupting you on the podcast? No, in all seriousness I wish you the best of luck with everything, and thanks for making Engadget awesome!

watch glee for free

I really enjoyed the site so I used my Digg account to digg it – should assist you

wille

Will miss your writings, been very interesting to follow under these years.

Rafael Minero

You certainly left your mark on engadget, be it the site, the podcast or the show and without a doubt you’ll be greatly missed. I hope you’ll keep writing about the things you love (because we’ll keep stalking you engadget or not).

Alexander Edwards

This is Terrible. I am legitimately saddened by this news. It is just not going to to be the same.

CMC

Thank you for all of your hard work over the years and you will be very missed…especially on the podcasts!!!

Fitra Yuda

i’ll be following you wherever you go.. good luck Paul

Monty

Hey. I worked for that company for over 11 years and I watched as they squandered opportunity after another. Each time a .com millionaire retired a lesser manager would take over in his place. They destroyed arguably one of the best brands of the internet age. It’s now a joke. Best of luck to you.

Anders

Sad news : (. You will be missed.

Best of luck with whatever is next : )

Joel F

Your work at engadget was stellar, and I look forward to what you do elsewhere.

Thanks,

Victor

NO!!!!
What will the Engadget Podcast be without Paul? this is truly makes me sad..

Levin

You’re awesome and really entertaining! You’ll be missed but good luck and keep us posted.

James

I will miss reading your articles but its the right move IMO. Thanks for taking a stand and for the 5 years of hard work.

Jason

Get over it. What did you think would really happen when you all sold the company. Haven’t you all partially covered this for a living? Think you can do it better? Then start your own thing. Don’t burn it down when you leave if you respect any of your colleages or have any pride in what you have done there.

sowhatquestion

Very sorry to hear about this. Here’s hoping you can find a good home on the Internet, somewhere far out of reach of AOL’s tentacles.

nexus

Go work for Leo LaPorte. He needs a blogging arm of twit to go with his vast podcast empire.

Soe

Hope can read your post again in other website or blog.Miss you

Sam Abuelsamid

Sorry to see you go Paul, but I know exactly how you feel. As a former blogger on Autoblog and AutoblogGreen it’s sad to see all the effort that we put into building up the former Weblogs Inc family be squandered on the AOL Way. I think Engadget under the current and original leadership team has done a far better job than most of improving and trying new things despite the AOL influence.

Autoblog never even tried to do anything like the Engadget show despite the prodding of myself and several of my colleagues and don’t even get me started on the problem of trying to get sponsors for the podcasts. The quality of the Engadget content remains much better than what has happened at my former sites which have degraded substantially in the past year turning to largely vanilla pablum with no real insight or analysis.

Good luck with wherever you land.

Ryan

This is the bullish*t. I first saw this and thought you had just found a new opportunity. I can’t believe AOL would let you leave without a fight. You’re one of the cornerstones of engadget! That’s so ridiculous. I wish you the best Paul. FOF

Eric Bush

Damn, two of my favorite Engadget editors leaving on the same day, it just won’t be the same over there without you two. If you ever want to start up something new shoot me an e-mail; you will do great things my man!

Jef

Sad to see Paul go from the Engadget podcasts most of all. The info and banter was something I really looked forward to when a new episode was out.

PS – You might want to switch your wordpress to Permalinks….and not the P= variables.

Good luck where you end up!

col

Journalism AOL style: I need to you take a shit on a piece of paper – fast – by tomorrow. I’ll give you $100.

Good going Paul. Your career will continue on an upward trajectory as AOL continues to dump piles of garbage all over the interwebs until it runs out of money.

Chad Biggerstaff

Damn man, I just listened to the podcast and I wondered if it was some weird joke. Apparently not, I’m going to miss hearing you on the podcast and seeing you on the show. You added a lot to the discussion.
Crazy AOL, I visit Engadget nearly everyday and never visit Huffington post. They certainly aren’t spending there money wisely for tech enthusiasts like me – and I think their are plenty of us on the web.
I wish you well, hope to see your musings around the web in the future.

l3reak

Sometimes it seemed like you were the only one with a really deep insight of the really technical news, and how it might actually be really important even if it’s boring right now… for instance, nobody else seemed to “get” the Microsoft & ARM stuff at CES, but we had you there to make those points and argue with JTops about them, same in The Final Podcast with the MeeGo stuff. Hell, you were always there to argue with JTops when he was being crazy (though don’t get me wrong, I love him and Nilay too) or insane or paranoid. Well, sometimes you were the one being crazy, too, but it’s good to have two sides! No one will replace you and that special, good-natured humor you brought. I can’t wait to see what you do next.

Just so long as it’s not that mustache.

cindy capitani

I’ve read the AOL Way (with horror) and now, for the first time (and last), Engadget.

I’d love if you’d blog your experience on open.salon.com (owned by Salon media). The site had 5.4 million unique visitors in January I’d love more people to know what’s going on with the state of content and AOL in general.

(I was just laid off from Gannett NJ. They recently had a 50% newsroom cut, not the first.)

Tom Rowley

I wouldn’t have expected anything less from you Paul. But what a shame. When I heard, I swore out loud. Hope to hear you / read your writing somewhere else soon. All the best.

Botrax

Go drive the podcast on GDGT, it’s been a while since they made a podcast…..

Julian

Paul you will be missed! You had such a unique perspective on certain topics and ideas. I just started listening to the Podcast a few months ago and I felt you brought a great balance to the perspective and opinions of the team (Josh & Nilay). You will definitely be missed man.

All the best in your future.

YeahLindsey

Paul,

Thank you for all the laughs and great insight. Engadget is really losing a great guy.

Best of luck,

Doesn't Matter Anymore :(

Paul you were my fav of the trio…

the best podcast on the planet is dead, I now have to find a new best site.

gonna miss you guys, also, i hate aol.

Seth

I just heard the news.. and i have been following engadget for as long as you’ve been working there.. I’m an Engadget freak and now that the top-tier is no more, I don’t think the site would do any good.

iBurley

You should totally get a hold of Josh and Nilay and see about starting up your own tech blog with the three of you. Maybe get someone like Murph to join in as well to make posts happen faster and get a bit more star power.

Bruno

Hope you continue doing your stuff with Nilay and Josh elsewhere, you guys are the perfect combo.
