    From our front-page news: Seattle PI had a chat with an "inside source" from Microsoft who knows the ins and outs of the Red Ring of Death, and most importantly, why the dreaded rings appear in the first place.

    Geez, MySpace is huge...

    I personally hate the fact that many bands' record-labels are MySpace-whores and refuse to post band "exclusives" in other places, such as the official website. Tiger Army did this when they first released a single for their latest album... I was glued to MySpace for a few days and it had...

    Gentoo Linux 2007.1 Cancelled, 2008.0 Up Next

    From our front-page news: I have no idea how I missed this until now, but the Gentoo website is reporting that version 2007.1 is cancelled in lieu of preferring to put more time and effort into 2008.0. Numerous security issues arose in late Fall of last year, which really held back development...

    OCZ Releases 4GB 1000MHz Platinum Kit

    From our front-page news: It's incredible to believe that less than one year ago, a performance DDR2 2GB memory kit would run you at least $300. Back then, it would have been difficult to fathom that eight months in the future, a 4GB performance kit could be had for half that. Today, there is...

    NVIDIA ESA Full-System Evaluation

    From our front-page news: When NVIDIA launched their ESA platform standard in November, hype around it quickly died down. Things just went quiet. But as it turns out, it mainly had to do with full-hardware support not being quite ready, but things have changed since then. At least weeks CES, it...

    NZXT Rogue SFF Gaming Chassis

    If on the search for a great-looking gaming chassis that's also portable, NZXT might have you covered. Their "SFF" label might be a bit of an understatement though - this case is far from being small. Despite that, it looks good, offers a whack of functionality and is definitely worth a look...

    Russian Lineage 2 Gamer Murdered Over In-Game Dispute

    It doesn't help that the game itself is so much of a damn grind... which is the reason I personally quit. I loved almost everything about the game... the characters/environments and the monsters, but the grind was asinine. So it's no surprise that some people go nuts when they die or begin...

    Russian Lineage 2 Gamer Murdered Over In-Game Dispute

    From our front-page news: Real-life deaths as a result of in-game feuds is nothing new, but it doesn't make things less twisted.

    Microsoft Shouldn't Purchase Yahoo!

    I don't think I understand. What's Yahoo! have to do with an ISP, exactly? I don't think an affiliation with SBC is going to mean too much. Nothing would change that way.

    The future of gaming might be a contact lense...

    There are many possible uses for virtual displays. Drivers or pilots could see a vehicle's speed projected onto the windshield. Video-game companies could use the contact lenses to completely immerse players in a virtual world without restricting their range of motion. And for communications...
