From our front-page news:I posted a news item yesterday about VMware's upcoming Fusion 3 hypervisor software for Mac OS X, and one complaint I had was the fact that while Mac users have such an excellent virtual machine option from the company, PC users get the short end of the stick and have...

SilverStone's Raven RV01 chassis might not have been the most well-received, but the company has attempted to make up for all the mistakes of the initial chassis with a follow-up, the RV02. Fortunately, the company has done just that, and except from a rather minor issue, and possibly its price...

Argh! I have an absolutely fantastic dentist, but whew, do I hate going there. The drills, the cold air on sensitive teeth, the gross taste of the benzocaine or novacane, or whatever the heck it is, and worst... the knowledge that I have certainly not been taking the great care of my teeth all...
