    Freespace IP picked up by Interplay

    A) Interplay still exists. B) Freespace IP has been purchased for a mere $7,500. You could call that a steal. http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/09/interplay-retrieves-freespace-ip-from-thq-for-7-500/

    The Sims 3 DLC can be expensive...

    It's no secret that DLC for The Sims 3 is expensive, but as I was watching a new video from the Lazy Gamer, I almost spit out my food: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puWu0ly4lEE#t=5m30s Yes, $19 for that "Renaissance Faire" :eek:

    Who's planning to upgrade to Haswell?

    With Intel's Haswell right around the corner, I'm wondering who here is planning on making the move? It's supposed to be the most power-efficient desktop / server chips that Intel has ever crafted, and to be honest, I find that a lot more interesting than the 10-15% performance boost. We'll...

    Lamborghini Unveils Egoista - This thing is WILD

    I already know that JD hates hates hates this design, but something about it... it's just so over-the-top. I tend to not care too much about Lamborghinis, but this is one I sure wouldn't mind seeing in person. http://ca.autoblog.com/2013/05/13/lamborghini-egoista-concept-supercar/

    It's a problem when a startup has more lawyers than employees

    Frustrating networking issues

    I'm dealing with a networking problem that's driving me the right amount of nuts to persuade me to make this post. I moved at the start of the month, and my ISP is unable to install net here until the 14th (yes, that's ridiculous). So, I've been borrowing a neighbor's wireless connection...

    How long do your USB devices last?

    So, here's a pet peeve of mine: USB devices that just up and decide to stop working in a particular port. WD's MyPassport 2TB, for example. It's a USB 3.0 device, and no longer works when plugged into the USB 3.0 port on my PC. It doesn't work in a second PC's USB 3.0 port. It works just...

    A motherboard that slows the boot down over time?

    Hi all: The test platform we use for hard drive testing utilizes GIGABYTE's G1. Assassin 2 (X79) motherboard, and recently, it's developed a problem there it takes longer to boot than before. Because we do boot-time tests for our HDD content, this is obviously a problem. As of our last HDD...
