    Engaget: 360 v2 'Zephyr' - HDMI, 65nm?, 120gb HDD (picture)

    I don't get why people are feeling ripped off by Microsoft. If you buy a 2006 model of a car, do you expect the car maker to allow you to trade it in for a 2007 model next year when it comes out with new features? I wish I could do that with my car. I also don't remember many people...

    GOW:Over 1 million sold in first 2 weeks.

    I also heard that MS will apparently be alternating the Halo and Gears franchises year on year. So after Halo 3 comes out then Gears 2 the next year, then Halo 4, then Gears 3, etc, alternating every year or so. Should make for at least one AAA title every year of the 360's existence.

    Star Trek: Legacy

    I can't believe I'm about to argue about Star Trek, but: Voyager was only that powerful because of its technology from the future. On its own an Intrepid class starship is quite weak, easily less powerful than a Sovereign or Galaxy class ship. A Defiant class ship should even be able to take out...

    BGS season 3

    I don't know about SciFi, but I know the CBC here in Canada gave money for the production of Doctor Who and Torchwood. CBC's name is actually in the credits of Doctor Who (not sure about Torchwood).

    REMINDER: The Best Show on Television Returns Tonight

    I took this to be much more an allegory to the occupation in Vichy France during WW2, but with suicide bombers thrown in to also remind us of Iraq.

    PSM3's PS3 review with pics and a video of the startup screen

    One of the reasons I sold my PSP was because of the insanely long load-times in most games. I certainly hope the PS3's load-times aren't anywhere near as long as the PSP's.

    Cell to be used in world's fastest supercomputer at Los Alamos (Opteron-Cell hybrid)

    Don't forget the MDGRAPE-3, it's already surpassed the PETA flop barrier. It's ~ 3 times faster than IBM's BlueGene/L system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDGRAPE-3

    Firingsquad Fires Back

    I don't see it that way though. I don't play games at 640x480, so I have zero interest in which CPU is faster at that resolution. I play at 1280x1024 with 4X/6X AA and 16X AF. I want to see what difference, if any, exist at the settings I play at between these new CPUs. I want to know if there's...

    Chinese discovered America before Columbus?

    The proper way to say it would be this IMO. The Vikings were the first Europeans to reach America. Although I did read awhile back that some Roman artefacts of some sort had been discovered in Central America, the result of an apparent ship-wreck. ________ Maine Medical Marijuana Dispensaries
