    These handmade wooden computer peripherals are the closest thing to heaven on earth

    There is something warm about these handmade external computer drives. They are almost like how God would have created computers. The real charm is that they are made exclusively by two dudes out of Seattle who obviously enjoy woodworking as much as I do.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops, now rumored: Developed by Treyarch, set between World War II and today

    Posted on March 29, 2010 | No Comments
    So what to make of this latest Call of Duty rumor? The seventh game in the series will be named Call of Duty: Black Ops, and will take place between the end of World War II and the present day. It won't necessarily "be" a Vietnam War game, but will have missions that take place all over the world. Remember: it's being developed by Treyarch (i.e. not Infinity Ward), the same dudes who developed Call of Duty 3 and Call of Duty: World at War.

    Maybe it’s horrible customer service that’s hobbling Palm?

    Posted on March 3, 2010 | No Comments
    Dwight “The Houston Tiger” Silverman, like so many tech dudes, likes the Palm Pre and Pixi and, in a way, doesn’t understand why Palm is on the rocks. However, he got an email from a reader who described her Verizon experience as sub-par at best. It began poorly: My original salesperson, upon hearing me say I [...]

    Digital Storm Black|Ops certainly looks good

    Posted on February 11, 2010 | No Comments
    What's the opinion on buying pre-built gaming PCs? I'm pretty sure there's a certain sense of pride that comes with building your own PC, but I also recognize that not everybody has all the time in the world to research motherboards, RAM timings, and all that jazz. Like, say, look at this PC. It's the Digital Storm Black|Ops (The irony of promoting a black op!), and A) it looks pretty damn cool B) it's sufficiently powerful to run Crysis on Damn High settings. I mean, I think so; Crysis is a mystery wrapped in an enigma hidden in a big box of cliches.
