I thought all the AAA publishers switched to interactive films after they gave up on making video games.

In other news, trolling will soon be obsolete due to bloggers like this one.

I've been waiting since my Athlon64 died for AMD to make a chip worth getting. Them taking the brute force (P4) approach is not all that encouraging.

Another astronomically expensive Mac Pro. This time hermetically sealed and unupgradable. Lovely.

As far as I'm concerned, a single unsolicited message from anyone with no personal connection to myself constitutes spam. Obviously opt-in lists are a different story. Anecdotally,…

They did not have a modicum of skill. I'm neutral on their endeavours, however LOIC and SQL injection is skiddy stuff.

Reminds me of a friend who took the hole saw to the inner guards on his STi to make getting to the plugs easier.

Except that, you know, gas is everywhere and a tank lasts more than a hundred miles.

I'd guess it is. Diseases are still organisms, and we try pretty hard not to let them go extinct.

The people hosing their system like that aren't likely to be able to use a recovery partition. I would guess they'd take the computer to a shop to get it fixed.

Don't worry, 9/10 reviews are still available for the bargain price of one pre-release copy of the game.

I tried this for like six months. Couldn't stand it. I get far better results adjusting environmental lighting. An LED strip casting a glow behind my monitor made the most differen…

I miss MSN chat. My friends have all long since migrated to Facebook. All I want is instant messaging.

Twelve thousand soul suckingly boring miles. I know hybrids are the future, but I'm happy for the future to wait until I die.

I find it very hard to believe that anyone, let alone the presumably technologically proficient people at Canonical, would actually think that sponsored search results are useful. …

The head of the GCSE at the time is now our Governor General. So the guy directly at fault is untouchable and the Prime Minister flatly denied (lying) all knowledge of any spying. …

Rapt when I saw this on the news last night. A hugely influential decision. Not only is the GCSE now liable for their actions, but it opens up the opportunity to sue other organiza…

I sorted out my gmail powered trendy n@me-lastname.net email not two weeks ago. Perhaps if they offered a single user package free of charge it would be more sustainable.

Or a field which requires fine motor skills.

Considering Sony has never (as far as I can remember) had a competing Android flagship, not to mention the financial state of Sony in general; I somewhat doubt Sony will pose any t…
