Laptopmag recently posted its outlook on Dell’s new XPS M170, which is basically a refreshed XPS Gen 2 laptop. If I were considering a desktop replacement notebook, I’d probably end up buying one of these bad boys. They offer the best and fastest in laptop technology in one of the lightest packages in its class at around 9 pounds. Most competing laptops weigh in at 3-4 pounds more!
I moved all my home theater PC (HTPC) stuff over from the Antec Overture case to the much prettier and more component-friendly SilverStone LC16M yesterday. It turned out to be more stressful and time-consuming than I had hoped it would be. Much of it was my own fault though and no fault of the Overture [...]

Good news just doesn’t seem to stop for microprocessor maker Advanced Micro Devices these days. Shortly after [...]
Went to slashdot and saw a post about some guy (Jack Thompson) trying to get the cops to arrest the Penny Arcade guys. That lead me to reading this article over at the gamepolitics livejournal, which then lead me to reading the article referenced in the title of this blogalicious entry. This article is from [...]
Just read this article over at InformationWeek. I’m not sure why you’d want to mess with some unauthorized service pack to any software, even if it seems totally safe. It just doesn’t seem like a good idea to me. Here’s a bit from the article.
