X-Man-aganza!

December 5, 2005 by Bartoneus

The first, or at least what I believe to be the first, images of X-Men 3 have been released to the public. There is a short article written about it on USA Today that, if you’re anything like me, you will only skim and quickly jump to the pictures and stare curiously at lies within.

Do Not Go 360 degrees of X-Box Crazy

November 28, 2005 by drscotto

My good friends over at IGN have published an article that is worth reading before you spend your money on a Microsoft X-Box 360. While it is true that Sony has many problems that do not complement a company that needs a strong consumer base, their saving grace will still be the Playstation game system. […]

Mindstorms Requiem

November 28, 2005 by DarthCthulhu

I discovered an interesting analysis of why Lego was pulling back on its Mindstorms line. For those who don’t know, the Mindstorms line is a neat set of tools designed with the idea to create real working programmable robotics systems using Legos. The sets have proven wildly popular, but in recent years Lego has pulled […]

More Sony Shennanigans

November 10, 2005 by DarthCthulhu

Oh, the fun just doesn’t stop with the Sony Corporation these days! An update on the Sony rootkit copy protection, regarding the offical uninstall proceedure as provided by Sony as told by the guy who was the originial discoverer of this wonderful corporate ‘fuck you!’: “Without exaggeration I can say that I’ve analyzed virulent forms […]

November 10, 2005 by DarthCthulhu

The BBC is reporting that a young investor who spent £13,700 worth to buy a virtual island has recouped his expenses and is making a profit after only a few months!

When Sony Attacks

November 10, 2005 by DarthCthulhu

A really interesting article on joystiq about the PS3’s copy protection is available. Apparently, it’s a system to prevent used games and pirated copies from playing on the system. From the patent application: “A device and method for protection of legitimate software against used software and counterfeit software in recording media… A specific title code […]

Somewhere, Over the Rainbow

November 9, 2005 by DarthCthulhu

In a day that will live in infamy, Idoicy has struck a terrific blow of ignorance to Reason and Intellect. The Kansas State Board of Education voted 6-4 to allow science students in public schools to hear materials critical of evolution in biology classes. That’s bad enough. Hemmoraging these poor kids’ futures for some dumbass […]

Sony's Comedy of Errors

November 7, 2005 by DarthCthulhu

“If you think things can’t get worse it’s probably only because you lack sufficient imagination.” Oh, the Sony mess just keeps getting better and better. Not only does the DRM check up on you to make sure you’re making nice through the use of a Rootkit. Not only can the Sony DRM be used to […]

Big Blizzard is Watching

November 1, 2005 by DarthCthulhu

Those who play World of Warcraft probably know about the little service it runs called The Warden. The Warden is a program that runs statistical analysis on a player’s system to make sure that no cheating programs are being used. What Blizzard failed to mention, of course, was that the program also does some pretty […]
