    Mixing Your Mouth with Simple Technology

    From our front-page news: I don't talk too often about music or music artists in our news section, but this is one of those times when there's no reason not to.

    I'm gone for a few days...

    I'm heading to Toronto with my brother for a few days to catch the Offspring (and Pennywise!) in concert, so just a heads-up that I won't at all be quick to respond to requests or threads. I'll check in when able, but this is a mini-vacation and I'll try to treat it as such. So... please be...

    Intel's Clarkdale to Launch During Q4?

    From our front-page news: It looks as though we'll be seeing Intel's Clarkdale a lot sooner than we expected, as recent roadmap revisions have indicated it will show up during Q4 2009, a full quarter earlier than originally planned.

    Billy Mays has died

    There are few people who don't know who Billy Mays is, and even if you don't recognize the name, you likely recognize the face.

    From our front-page news: The moment we've all (okay, not ALL) been waiting for... Windows 7 pricing! Some of it's cool, some of it is ridiculous (I'll get into that in a minute). For full versions (non-upgrades), Home Premium is $199.99 ($40 less than Home Premium for Vista), $299.99 for...
