    John Romero Working With Facebook Game Maker

    gm0n3yRomero is now working for LOLapps, a Facebook gaming company. Oh how the mighty have fallen. He's probably just happy to make a paycheck now. Too true.. it's like if Metallica didn't manage to hold onto the fans they did and began cutting albums of nursery rhymes, claiming it's "where...

    PS JailBreak PS3 Exploit Goes Free, Open Source

    TommySchThe more console piracy there is, the better. Less incentives to shove cheap ass console ports down our throat. The more console piracy there is, the better. Less incentives to make anything at all, ever. And shove it down our throat?

    Google Responds to Steve Jobs' Activations Gibe

    jaysbobactually it was Benjamin Disraeli who said that. I stand corrected! Twain did say it, but he also properly attributed it at the time. I stand by the sentiment of the quote, though. As others have mentioned, units sold or market share are both far less dissembling ways of promoting your...

    TV Networks Not Keen on Apple's $0.99 Rentals

    spentshellsso apple isn't being greedy enough for the networks ?? bwahahahahaha Read the whole article.. the problem is that apple is not just trying to milk the consumer dry, but the networks feel that now Jobs is taking advantage of them, too. They think Apple is being TOO greedy. As the...

    Microsoft Officially Unveils the Arc Touch Mouse

    I still have a logitech m-bb48. It has a ball. It has two buttons, and it has a scroll wheel you can feel scrolling. It cost $20 in the 90s. I'm not competitive in MLG or anything so I really just don't see any difference at all. There are things I can justify spending money on for my...

    Google Responds to Steve Jobs' Activations Gibe

    As Mark Twain said, there are lies, damned lies, and statistics. Activations/day is such a bizarre way of tracking anything that I'm pretty sure the only reason they use it is so shareholders/potential customers see a large number with no real perspective. This is unlike, say, marketshare, where...

    Sony: The PSP Go Was Kind of An Experiment

    I think it's pretty hilarious that their solution to maybe needing to admit that they failed was to declare that 'yes yes we knew it was an experiment that might fail.' Expensive market research indeed! Going all-digital simply won't work without adequate storage (that doesn't have to be...

    Trapped Chilean Miners Receive Sony PSPs

    XZaaprycaI can tell by these comments that most of you aren't married. I would have traded anything to be stuck down there if I were still stuck with that psycho witch. That's pathetic, horrible, and also belittling to the immense stress 33 unfortunate men are under. I did laugh a little...

    Report: Google Launching Pay-per-view Movies

    I think it's pretty great that there is a netflix ad on the side of this article (for me at least). Foolish Tom's, your automated ad service has you clinging to a sinking ship. We have a new master now. A beveled, white-and-primary-colored master. Netflix only allows some movies on its...
