Alright, if you haven’t heard about this already then you might want to skip down to the resources section that I provided below. Anyways, it seems that many people have tried this website and received their free iPods. Being young and dumb and willing to take risks I decided to jump on the bandwagon and [...]

Yayhooray member Vitaflo (of Assembler.org fame) has created the ultimate emulation station.
It uses an old Mac G4, and a Playstation controller with a USB adapter for the hardware. Then he built his own custom front-end launching utility using Firefox in kiosk mode, and simple dHTML. That along with a series of OS hacks has created [...]

When I played it, Counter-Strike was loads of fun, but I always hated how poor I was at it and the thought of some 12 year-old pre-pubescent kid out there somewhere in the world knifing me while I fumbled with reloading my MP5. Frustrating to say the least and without the lack of responsibility [...]

In the past 50 years, there haven’t been many features to pick from, and once optional things like UHF tuners, remote controls, color, stereo and cable channel tuning have all become standard. The main constant over the years was a choice of picture size.
Now, there are SIX different decisions to make and the choices within [...]

Two worm species discovered in the dark recesses of the deep sea could rival the macabre beasts of your childhood nightmares. Scientists have named a new genus, Osedax, which is Latin for “bone devourer”, for worms that thrive by excavating the bones of fallen whale carcasses.

Bone sucking worms. I have to say that again because [...]

Sometimes, you just really need to read a comic about dinosaurs stomping on things. That’s where Qwantz comes into play. See, pretty much every day, you can check Qwantz and find a new comic about Dinosaurs crushing things.
To be fair, its the same dinosaurs every day, crushing the same things; but somehow it [...]

This will be the best Batman film ever. You read it here first. If you are using Firefox you might have to enable popups for that site so you can actually watch the trailer. I would post a screenshot, but I can’t view video from the web today for some reason, which is the #1 [...]

Gitaroo Man might just be the most insane game I’ve ever played.
In this Playstation 2 rhythm action game you are U-1, a loser school boy with an annoying dog. But, low and behold, you can turn into a Gitaroo Man, which means that you get a magical guitar and costume change, and fight villains/win [...]

When Nintendo finally showed the Nintendo DS there were some rave reviews going around detailing how spectacular it was. Then Sony showed its new PSP and made the DS look like a plastic kids toy. In retaliation, Nintendo has redesigned the DS to make it look just a little bit more cooler. Now it looks [...]

Hot on the heals of the release of OneNote SP1, two new utilities taking advantage of OneNote’s new object model have been released. These utilities allow you to easily copy text from either IE or Outlook into new OneNote notes.
Currently, I’m using Outlook 2003’s flag ability to keep track of mail that I need to [...]

An intern at Microsoft has the chance of a lifetime to visit Bill Gates in his own home and speak with him at length.
About twenty minutes into the event Bill casually descended the stairs from the personal side of the home: no fanfare, no introduction, just the Chief Software Architect. Instantly there started a massive [...]

An interesting (if that’s what we could call it) take, by an established publication on how and why Microsoft should create a version of Office to run on Linux.

Here’s a solution, a tad radical, perhaps, but one that Microsoft really ought to consider: How about selling a proprietary, low-cost version of Office designed for computers [...]

There are times when you’d rather not replicate all the data from a master to its slave(s). For instance, your master database server may contain test or pre-production databases and typically these databases, much like the /tmp directory on Linux, really don’t need to survive after a disaster. Rather than wasting the bandwidth and disk [...]

This article by sci-fi author Neal Stephenson, is a very interesting and insightful read on the world of user interfaces. Though a bit dated (covers up through roughly 1999), it is still worth the few hours it will take you to read it, and it is available for free on the internet.
Stephenson on the [...]
