    One of those weeks...

    I just had one of those weeks as well (2).... though i think i'm back for the most part... PC hardware failure, the joys of... I remember as if it was last week... WinXP, Hard drive spins down for power save, doesn't want to spin up... OS crashes as a result. Reboot, BIOS stuck on IDE...

    Mass Effect 3 Trailer...

    Mass Effect 1 - Epic Story, hell on the planet hopping space buggy called the Macko... the mind numbing number of hours you have to put up with that thing and its quirks... think low gravity mods for games but with a rubber ball, random surface geometry and 'bounce'... fun for the whole...

    Jeopardy! to Feature IBM Supercomputer as Contestant

    Or... the whole thing is a publicity stunt and it's rigged... Nah, they'd never do such a thing... :rolleyes:

    I never watched all of it either, i got to about a minute in and just stopped... it really does just go on and on... the worst part is that there MANY people... some even in their 20's and 30's that behave the same... yet they call themselves constructive by using longer and more complicated...

    Mass Effect 3 Trailer...

    No surprise there, Square Enix has been feeling the pain from releasing games too early... even though it's Eidos that's developing it. From February to April 2011, bah, at least it's not November 2011... not yet anyway.

    In flight wifi FTW

    Damn... the backbone gets cheaper and faster while last mile gets slower, throttled and more expensive, complete with pay per GB pricing, such great times... Think I'll go squat next to my local exchange...

    It's all the rage these days, can't play an FPS online without that kind of action... this is why live chat in-game is a bad idea... actually, any kind of communication is a bad idea, lol.

    AMD Details Upcoming Catalyst Driver Changes

    Video and setting up a file server with SAMBA to share to other windows based machines with all data already formatted to NTFS... I gave up after 3 days, but things are different now... I would hope... As for video, bought a whole mass of parts for a new system, wanted to experiment with Linux...

    Elder Scrolls: Skyrim Set to be Released on November 11, 2011

    There is always room for more Elder Scrolls games. And you'd probably hate Oblivion, no high speed action firing 30 million rounds a second, instead you typically get swords and hammers that fire at a rate of... once every 2 seconds... maybe the odd bit of magic. If you like stealth missions and...

    Not Enough of a Geek? Listen to the Linux Kernel!

    Rob sprang this on me in an IM, to which I promptly pulled a WTF face... be prepared for a lot of high speed "Asterisk Asterisk... random text string relating to linux kernel code ..."

    OnLive to Provide Movie Streaming?

    OnLive, the Internet based game streaming startup, is already looking into the prospect of expanding its horizons into the world of movie streaming. With the backbone to support game streaming services to multiple users, why not put it to more use via movie streaming like Netflix? Onlive already...

    Internet Explorer 9 to Ship with Anti-Tracking Feature

    Unused browser Slogans... Safari - Taking you for a ride - Excessive use may result in loss of appendages and/or freedoms. Internet Explorer - It's better than a Navigator - stuck in the past, just like Netscape. Firefox - Nothing runs faster than a fox on fire - Until it crashes and burns...

    A Look at Futuremark's 3DMark 11

    Rather silly looking at some of the results. 4.8GHz (N2 probably) core i7 980X running tripple SLI GTX 580. Then on the AMD front, it's a 4.06 GHz x6 1090T with crossfire running 4x (2 cards?) 5970 with some silly typo's on the frequencies (100,000MHz?!?)...

    Internet Explorer 9 to Ship with Anti-Tracking Feature

    "i'z iz in da pr0n mode, uz cants C me" wasn't good enough, had to create 'special' button to supposedly 'opt-out' of tracking. Like advertisers are really going to honour a browser setting about privacy... and like Microsoft will let people block their own ads in their own browser. Google on...

    Internet Explorer 9 to Ship with Anti-Tracking Feature

    A file format that probably won't work in later versions, nor would they explicitly follow... Microsoft and file formats... need i say more. Also, this just seems like a proactive launch on the FTC announcement about an easy access 'privacy' button. Quite amusing as well, since MS is just...

    PlayStation Phone Looks to be Real

    Solid idea ruined by DRM from the PSP Go? We'll see... Sony could get this right, but under its current strategy of feature deprecation, i wonder how many of this phones features will still exist in a years time... if it's android based, i'm wondering if Sony will try and block android games...

    Want Avatar's Blu-ray 3D Version? Prepare to Pay

    I'm dubious about this, it would be silly to sell it as an exclusive bundle at such a high rate, think it's just a limited time exclusive since any longer would be cutting their own throat. I know they want to guarantee the quality of the release since not all 3D is made the same, but still, for...
