Here is a new recipe that gets the entire article. The previous recipe just pulled the RSS feed summary and didn't retrieve articles. For most articles, that was enough, but scattered here and there were longer articles with the feed including only the first paragraph.

Kovid - This can probably replace the existing Engadget, but I've named it Engadget_Full
