    It Is The “Clean Your Damn PC” Weekend

    Haha nice.. I just cleaned out my laptop 2 days ago, and I must say that I regret not having cleaned it sooner. My computer idles almost 10C cooler, while it's almost 20C cooler under load. Clean your computer!!

    Broadband Requests Far Exceed Amount Available

    1) 7 billion is clearly not enough to service the broadband needs of all the rural areas in the U.S. 2) We need MOAR MONIEZ. I vote to contract SK Telecom (Korean telecommunications conglomerate) to help us figure this shit out. I know it's a very different geographic situation here, but they...

    IE8 Trounces Firefox, Chrome in Security Test

    Aside from the sponsorship issue (lol@having test threats being tailored to individual browsers), what's the rate of false positives? I can create a browser that detects 100% of all and any threat by flagging every single site as malicious (about:home is a virus!). But personally, I could...

    Pirated Media Collection Costs Man $46K

    Jamie Thomas or whatever probably got hit with the much larger fees since legal fees are calculated in there. Considering that her case went through couple of trials, I'd imagine that figure to be significantly more than this man's. But of course, the obligatory "fuck the RIAA."

    6 Multiclient IM Apps to Chat About

    Intel is Tonya Harding

    You know, I'd kind of have to agree with AMD on this one. Intel really screwed AMD over by buying several chip manufacturing plants that really limited AMD's ability to mass produce certain chips (I believe it was factories that produced 32nm chips). AMD was pretty much forced to stick with 45nm...

    Are You Being Duped by the Intel Innovation Spin?

    Honestly, I don't think AMD is THAT far behind Intel, when all things are said and done. I don't mean this in terms of sales, market share, revenues and such, but in terms of technologies and innovations. I'm sure AMD has a lot of things in the works that are not made public, solely for the...

    Video Game Industry Sales Finally Take a Hit

    Before, I've mentioned how increase in video game sales could possibly be explained by it's high ROI ($ per liesure time) and, because of the recession, people were flocking to video games. There's a few possible explanations for this: no good titles were released, people are still "working" on...

    YouTube Set to Lose $470M

    To my understanding, Youtube (and high-value sites like Facebook) has yet to have a "profitable" year. Their valuations take into account their potential, which, given the large volume of visitors, far exceeds the immediate losses. I'm sure they'll figure something out, though, to make this...

    Firefox May Already Be Dead

    Oh boy. This guy better be ready for the now inevitable onslaught of criticism from the Firefox devotees. But does he realize that speed is not the sole criteria in judging a browser? I use Firefox over Chrome for one reason only: extensibility (okay, maybe 2 because I think google could grow...

    U.S. Video Game Sales Up 10% in February

    Well, I doubt laid-off people are sitting at home and playing video games all day long. I'm sure that they are looking for a job and working hard. What these analysts fail to realize is that video games is a GREAT investment on leisure, assuming that the amount of time occupied is the...

    U.S. Video Game Sales Up 10% in February

    IBM in Talks To Buy Sun Microsystems

    IBM Chief's 2008 Pay Valued at Nearly $21M

    He deserves it. I don't know why people hate CEOs so much. They do a lot. They don't just sip champagne and make the company billions of dollars. This issue is different when they lose the company billions of dollars, and then pay themselves using my goddamn tax money.
