    2.33GHz Penryn, Conroe Comparo

    From our news: Although Penryn is not slated to be released for a few more months, Anand has found himself with a Wolfdale Dual-Core 2.33GHz chip.

    ASUS WL-500W SuperSpeed N Router

    After goofing around with the router for ninety minutes, like you, I got absolutely nowhere. It's confusing, because when I streamed content in the past, it wasn't much of a hassle at all. I think what it all comes down to is that the Xbox 360 sucks horribly for networking of any kind. I can...

    Comp crash mystery solved! kinda...

    There is no way your machine requires 528W... another reason why power supply calculators are a pure waste of time. I'd say your machine would not push anymore than 400W tops.

    Atari Porno

    The latest Angry Video Game Nerd was posted yesterday, which takes a look at pornographic games that were found on the Atari 2600. I thought Porky's was the worst there was, but I was wrong. Dead wrong. This is -very- adult, "Viewer Discretion Is Advised." Consider that your warning. <object...

    Mercedes Pens

    When we got the tip on this one, we felt the need to give it top coverage. You are looking at Costas Schuler's Mercedes Pens, covered in at least (depending on the day, he says) 5,000 used writing instruments. Why, you ask? We're guessing something just clicked one day and he thought it was the...

    Top 8 Vista Annoyances

    Ouch, sorry to hear about your troubles. Vista is problematic, but you seemed to be hit much harder than most would imagine. > "I never know, upon powering up, whether my wireless bluetooth mouse will be recognized." I've had that same problem, with two different notebooks. I am not sure...

    ASUS WL-500W SuperSpeed N Router

    Hi Nuno, Thanks for the kind words. This feature is not one I tested directly (external storage on the Xbox 360), but I will give it a shot tomorrow (Thursday) and see if I can manage to get it to work. What I think I did, was have the external storage hooked up to my PC, and then set the...

    You think YOU have too much free time?

    It's official, Les Stewart has done something very bizarre. In fact, he has done something so strange that nine years after the Mudjimba resident finished doing it, he is still getting notoriety. A website which tracks odd happenings around the world, Oddee, has listed Les’ entry in the Guinness...

    PC Bioshock Demo

    I've downloaded it... haven't given a go yet though. I've already beat the Xbox demo twice, but I am hoping it will be far easier to play on the PC (I suck at console FPS-controls).

    Microsoft brings back Sidewinder

    From our news: Remember the old Microsoft Sidewinder gamepad? I knew a lot of people who owned them, but couldn't manage to enjoy them myself. It felt like I was holding a loaf of bread, which I guess is where the design for the original Xbox controller came from. Well, the folks from Redmond...
