Starcraft 2, 2008 Release
Uh oh to the Starcraft fans out there. It “definately” won’t be a 2007 release; which surprised a lot of people given how advanced/polished the game looked (and having been in development 3 years… jesus).

31. May 2007
VE had the scoop, this is gold. Microsoft, you are officially idiots: During recent testing of Halo 2, a game developed by Microsoft and built exclusively for Vista, several issues were found. Vista’s User Account Control (UAC), a security feature intended to make the OS safe, has become the number one most hated new feature. As [...]

31. May 2007
Interesting. Looks like id Software will be developing a new “John Carmack” engine along side a new title that doesn’t follow any of their previous franchises (Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein, etc.). “We are working on an all-new franchise: it’s not Doom, it’s not Quake, it’s not Wolfenstein, it’s not Enemy Territory, it’s not even Commander Keen! “It is [...]

31. May 2007
This is pretty unbelievable. HubPages has put together this great “productivity comparison” between the original Mac Plus and a brand new AMD Dual Core machine. The idea being not the overall functionality, but the productivity boost doing the most common office-based tasks (Saving, editing, copy-paste, etc.) and seeing the performance differences between the machines. Even though [...]

31. May 2007
Note: Pheebay has put up an excellent article to learn how to spot scams on eBay. Great tips. This is the second time I’ve been scammed on eBay in the last year and it’s starting to drive me a little crazy. The first time I was a seller and the person won a monitor from me and [...]

31. May 2007
These didn’t used to be pet-peeve words… in fact I used to use both. Thanks to the love of my mom and her brain, she finally broke me of retarding myself “Refer back to” Example: “I was referring back to the time I ate all the paint.” Problem: Refer already implies a reference to something that [...]

30. May 2007
After the first fiasco with the AACS master encryption key leaking, and the Digg community going crazy digging it up to the entire first page, it seems that the revised key that was cracked before it was ever released is now the new center of censorship on Digg as people are starting to beat that [...]

30. May 2007
Very interesting post over on TUAW. It looks like the DRM-free music you can download from iTunes now (and hopefully growing in the future) is not something you would likely want to throw up on a torrent site anytime soon, mostly due to the fact that the mp4 file contains your personal information in it. Erica [...]

30. May 2007
Note: This review is lengthy, for folks wanting to jump to the conclusion here it is: This toaster oven is amazing. At it’s price point ($50) it falls into the “absolute no-brainer” category. The performance, quality and ease of using it are hands down 5-stars across the board and you’ll feel that way within a [...]

30. May 2007
    I recently purchased the Onkyo DS-A2 as an iPod dock for my existing Onkyo HT-R940 Receiver that I got as part of the Onkyo HT-S990THX home-theater-in-a-box setup. The idea being that we could hook our iPods up to the dock and listen to them throughout the house without needing head phones. The [...]

Talk about a complete (and nice looking) face-lift to the Prince of Persia original side-scroller. Prince of Persia Classic is going to be an XBox Live exclusive release:

30. May 2007
BioShock is starting to look like a cross between Deus Ex meets Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay… games I loved. The visceral feel of “wrenching” someone in the face looks very fluid and satisfying… not like a robot hitting a pinata. Take a look:

28. May 2007
Kotaku scooped that Uwe Boll, famed “movies so bad, can’t figure out how he keeps getting money” director, actually tried to auction off a roll in his upcoming live-action adaption of the Far Cry game and was unable to get anyone to cough up $3k for the part.
