Why Vista is Better

Seeded on Tue Feb 28, 2006 1:49 PM EST (extremetech.com)

ExtremeTech has a very nice article on the features of Vista and its rewritten Kernel. It is not another Windows ME. It is better, faster (on the right system), stronger, it's the $6 million operating system. Do I give them too much credit, maybe.

Hal 9000 USB Memory Unit

Seeded on Fri Feb 24, 2006 5:21 PM EST (thinkgeek.com)

This one is kind of cool. What we have here is a 1GB flash memory drive modled after HAL 9000 from 2001 A Space Odyessy. It will set you back $70 which is a hefty price tag but hey, this is a HAL memory core unit we are talking about here (okay, not really).

This is a good one. EA is going to charge you $2 if you want to play in the online mode in Fight Night 3 for the PSP. It's either pay them the $2 or provide them with some personal information that they are going to use any way they want, no joke.
