    Rumor: Apple to include new i7-980X in upcoming Mac Po

    Users switch to online classifieds, leave papers in the dust

    Hmm, I remember working for a company that attempted to unite/bring online print classifieds to the web, AdOne Classifieds.. I think they got bought out by a newspaper organization or something, never did find out what happened to it.. But either way, competing against free is pretty darned...

    Upcoming U2 album all over P2P after band's label screws up

    BTW, downloaded it, did some OS X 'Quick View' listens.. Not that impressed.. Lots of longish, indulgent stuff it seems -- View image here: http://episteme.meincmagazine.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif --<br><br>Wouldn't have bought it anyway, and as soon as it seeds I'm going to...

    Sony quietly schedules God of War III for 2009

    $400? Try Five Hundred And Ninety-Nine U S Dollars.. PS3 deserves the same derision for its ridiculous price that the original XBox got for its ridiculous size.. <BR><BR>That said, GoW III may be the first PS3 game I actually play on mine that wasn't a downloaded demo..

    New Alien vs Predator game coming via Rebellion

    Oh, Jag AvP... The wicked Predator visual filters, the unique playstyles per character (Alien, Predator, Marine).. Frankly, _Halo_ smacks a bit derivative of it (Flood = Aliens, Elites = Predators, Master Chief = Marine) but I'd still be interested in a 360 version that's up-to-date..

    KDE 4.2 officially released

    @eruaran: I'm sorry, but for KDE3 users, upgrading to KDE4.2 is an abortion. There is so much stuff missing or broken that it's basically outright hostile to us. There is very little if any migration documentation.<br><br>This transition is WORSE than OS9->OSX, and only the sheer suckitude of...

    Four things Sony can do to turn the tide for the PS3 in 2009

    CableCARD (still) goes unloved, except in set-top boxes

    It seems to me that most CableCARD TVs are RPTVs. I haven't seen a LCD or Plasma <=42" with a CableCARD slot, and very few above that.<BR><BR>(got 3 cards, billed for 1 dual-tuner card for the Tivo, and the single card for the set is no-charge..)
