    Fix Your iPhone 4 Reception Woes for a Dollar

    Microsoft: Hardcore Gamers Will Buy Kinect First

    While the tiger is adorable, and kinect may even work well, I don't see this actually being very popular. The player base that has built the 360 into what it is, and what MS targeted it for, as well as the PS3, never wanted this. If they did, again, they would have bought a Wii. If MS or Sony...

    No iPads Allowed At Yankee Stadium

    They need the iPad to go online figure out the rules, and players, of the game they just paid top dollar to see. Maybe that's more Fenway thing cause I'm there a lot, but damned if I don't see fewer and fewer fans at these games than hipsters wanting to be seen in a place they know is popular...

    DS and PS3 Buildings: Coming Soon?

    SneakySnakeThe PS3 one looks pretty nifty Agreed, if I had to pick one that I could legitimately see as a building, the PS3 one looks like it would fit the best. The other two, honestly, look convincing in an artistic way, but they ultimately look like dumb buildings (like Boston City Hall)...

    Nintendo Sees Apple as the ''Enemy of the Future''

    Rab1d-BDGRIf they genuinely see iPhone games as a serious threat that doesn't bode well for the qaulity of future nontwendo games.Nintendo: Drop this casual gamer / "brain training" / "petz" crap and get back to what made you great in the first place! As a 34yo video gamer since the first day I...

    Stealing, Pirating Assassin's Creed Costs Man $25K

    Eccentric909Read other comments.. the cost of the game has nothing to do with the size of the fine. Piracy and theft are two different things. This wasn't about him stealing the game it was about him pirating it, which is a Federal prosecution. You know, like the FBI warning you read on the...

    Stealing, Pirating Assassin's Creed Costs Man $25K

    Defeating piracy is impossible. Make the games better, cheaper, and playable on more hardware! More legit buyers will buy them, and be happy. Embrace your open, dev-kit-less, already embedded, customer base by making your game WORK on people's hardware. A much more lucrative business proposition...

    Tech Brings X360 Games to iPhone, Android OS

    Depends on what Halo we're looking for. Halo or Halo2? Sure. The comparatively pitiful Pentium3 733 and nVidia chip used to render those games can easily be out-done with modern processors. Figure a single-core Atom, without hyperthreading performs roughly the same, add a low-power video chip...

    Girl Confuses Wiimote with Loaded Gun, Dies

    frostfire626I, like everyone else here, hate when videogames are wrongfully blamed for anything. But in this case, I believe the Wii controller did play some part in this tragedy, even if it was not the main cause. I don't think we should automatically dismiss videogames as a negative influence...

    Apple’s MacBook Pro: Rotting Core?

    quantumrandThis is a prime example of what the article is about. Apple wants you to think it's using special, quality parts, when in fact it's only using plain old PC parts which you can find at Frys or Newegg.com.The parts Apple uses aren't special magical parts that don't degrade in value, but...

    Street Officially Named After Lara Croft

    Why not Mario Avenue complete with red bricks, and green sewer grates that lead to secret tunnels with gold coins?

    Fun Computing with Windows 7

    Windows needs to have a real command line interface compatible with terminal redirection. It's an invaluable tool in administering Linux remotely, especially on headless (granted, an unlikely scenario with Windows) or crippled machines.

    Teen Goes on Axe Rampage After Losing Game

    jerreeceI think the author was referring to how the kid 'handled' the losses. Like, whether he blew up into a raging fit in the house, or skulked off quietly contemplating life... That's a fair point, I retract the 1st half of my comment, and still stand by the rest.

    Teen Goes on Axe Rampage After Losing Game

    "While it's unclear as to how he received the losses from the video game" I think it's fair to say that his brother scored more goals than he did, in three consecutive games... but then again I don't really follow soccer, let alone soccer video games. Seriously, in what possible way does it...

    Blu-Ray Drives for PCs Bombing

    As a collector of movies, as well as an avid movie viewer, an HTPC with a blu-ray drive makes sense to me. I won't fool myself into saying that "I don't notice a difference..." I do. Even from 480p progressive DVD to 720p Blu-Ray there is a noticeable upgrade in appearance, particularly for...
