    Has Blizzard sold its soul to the Devil Diablo!!

    It's either like getting DIII for free or 6 months of game time - either way you look at it, that's quite a deal. I do wonder the same about the future of WoW though. A lot of people have moved to Rift and seem to be liking it. Almost have to wonder if Blizzard has a WoW 2 in the oven.

    Antec Soundscience Halo 6 LED Bias Lighting Kit Review

    There's no good reason for it as far as I am concerned. There might be times when the room light is on and there's just no need for the Bias. There should be an inline switch, no excuses. Perhaps on the next version we'll see that.

    Tesla M2090

    You overclocked a $2,500 workstation card? That is... just awesome. But 34%? That seems rather high... the desktop cards can't even OC that much. What were the before and after clocks, if you don't mind me asking? Did you ever get to the bottom of this? 83C is too damn high at idle... and...

    Couple married 72 years dies holding hands

    This almost sounds made up, but it's not. A husband and wife married for 72 years ended up dying beside each other an hour apart in the hospital while holding hands. The man went first, and because she was still holding his hand, a heartbeat appeared on his monitor. Nuts. Gordon Yeager, 94...
