Tell that to the console gamers... P.S: I can't help but think the "death of.." articles are just to get page views with sensational titles and articles, mind you thats been the st…

Unreal Tournament 2004 got up to 5 CDs and Half Life 2 I'm sure had seven. Apart from that, I've never seen anything even approaching what you guys are saying about old windows OS …

A lot of the questions students have could be answered by fellow peers. I know blackboard is a well hated program but (at least at my university) it has a forum for each course tha…

I personally find SMS far to expensive for the amount of information I can communicate using it. Texting is last resort, I much prefer to call someone or attempt to contact them on…
