But then I read this: "In 1887, the tomato reached the U.S. Supreme Court. The ruling? Vegetable. So legally, it seems, the tomato is not a fruit." http://home.howstuffworks.com/question143.htm
So basically, whilst it technically is a fruit, when you refer to a tomato on Engadget, it's a vegetable... since every other person on here seems to be a legal expert.
