    That about sums it up!

    OCZ Vertex 4s on sale for less than $1 per GB

    No word on issues so far! The previous SSDs had issues due to their controllers, but the V4s use different ones. One of the reasons OCZ is likely pushing these so hard is to get more people to purchase them in spite of previous issues, because the same thing won't happen here (*crosses fingers*).

    People who believe The Onion are literally unbelievable

    Alright, a friend linked to this site on Facebook last night, and I can't remember the last time I've laughed so hard: http://literallyunbelievable.org It's a collection of people who believe what they just read on The Onion, not realizing that the site is 100% satire. Here's a couple...

    Hotmail's Days Are Numbered: Microsoft Introduces Outlook.com

    The biggest issue with Hotmail for me was the fact that it'd eat e-mails that were legitimate. When we coded our on-site survey years ago, we had to write a special rule just so that the e-mails would make it to their @hotmail destination. We didn't have to do that for any other service. There...

    Richard Stallman Warns Against Nonfree DRM'd Steam on Linux

    I think the same thing can be said to all software. There are exceptions of course, but for whatever reason, I end up playing games that are not free, because I'm more interested in a richer experience. Free or indie games are fine in small doses, but I find I get bored quick compared to the...

    The *Official* I'm Pumped For Borderlands 2 Thread AKA Here's My Wallet, Randy!

    That's amazing. I sure hope this is one series with a long life ahead of it.

    Star Wars: The Old Republic Allows Free-To-Play Option This Fall

    I admit I find this a little sad, not because I cared about the game, but because it seems like the P2P MMOs are a dying breed. Of course, Bioware didn't do itself any favors with this game. Many who were in love with it at launch were fully realizing all of its problems within weeks, and for a...

    Gasp! - Claw Machines Are Rigged?

    I've seen that happen also, hah. I've only used a machine like this once, and I think I lost. I just wish I had the strength of Kane back then to smash the window and run off with the haul.

    Hotmail's Days Are Numbered: Microsoft Introduces Outlook.com

    So I've been looking through this a bit further, and I have to admit, I'm impressed. I am not about to move over from Google given our entire staff is locked-in there, but I might just setup an account here for a personal account and see how it goes.

    Whatever you do, DON'T insult an Olympian!

    I'm not sure what it is, but I feel like I'm just a little immune to this sort of thing, because it feels like I hear about it all the time. It does happen in soccer on occasion; I believe Thierry Henry had death threats after his allowed handball during World Cup 2010. This isn't limited to...

    Gasp! - Claw Machines Are Rigged?

    Yeah, I don't remember that at all, but to be fair, I remember almost nothing about anything. I could consider a movie to be my absolute favorite and still not realize small details :S Looking forward to watching it again though. Haha, nice.

    CM Storm Sonuz Stereo Gaming Headset Review

    Cooler Master impressed us with its Sirus surround-sound headset last fall so much that we slapped an Editor's Choice award on it. But what about those folks who <em>prefer</em> their audio to be in stereo? Well, CM has answered the call and the result is Sonuz. Let's check it out, and see if it...

    Haha, it seems I am not the only one who misinterpreted that story: http://boingboing.net/2012/07/31/17-y-o-arrested-in-england-for.html

    Whatever you do, DON'T insult an Olympian!

    As soon as Kyle fumbled that second time, death threats is the first thing that came to mind. As sad as it is, there are a lot of people just like that, who end up valuing sport and other things way above what actually matters.

    Whatever you do, DON'T insult an Olympian!

    Ahh, I read that as an entirely separate event (I thought someone -else- issued that threat). Now it makes a lot more sense. Thanks for pointing it out. Yeah, chuck the piece of shit in jail.

    The Android Dilemma - An Open Platform Open to Piracy?

    I'm still not quite sure what this has to do with Google. Like all other phones, your carrier is going to be able to locate where you are based on GPS or other things. Google having your phone number doesn't aide in them finding you... the GPS/wireless network is enough for that.

    Hotmail's Days Are Numbered: Microsoft Introduces Outlook.com

    Microsoft has today announced Outlook.com, an e-mail service built on top of the well-known name from the company's Office suite. At some point, Outlook.com will replace Hotmail.com, but at the moment users are free to use either or - your e-mail will exist in both. In that regard, you can...

    For Those Who Shun Detail, Here's Google Maps ASCII

    If you've yet to take your hit of awesome today, don't worry, I have it right here. We've all seen what Google Maps looks like in 8-bit, but have you ever wondered what it might look like in ASCII? Well as the old saying goes, if you ASCII, someone will ANSI, and in this case, that someone is...
