I think it will be quite interesting to see how these triple core CPUs' performance stacks up against the dual cores and quad cores and how they are received by the market-at-large. Maybe AMD has found a niche in Intel's strategy that it can exploit....  [Read More]

I have been following this game almost since the day it was announced. However I will wait for the price to drop no matter how good the game is. Understandable. It's just more anecdotal evidence in support of one of the reasons why PC games are on th...  [Read More]

The question I have is: who will want the job for the next 15 months? President Bush doesn't seem like he ever caves in to pressure to force any of his staffers to resign. I guess Gonzales really decided he had had enough. Washington politics are...  [Read More]

What I've often found curious is how the word apocalypse came to mean the end of the world when it's Greek origins mean to uncover or reveal. I guess it has something to do with the Book of Revelation in the Bible's New Testament. As to the question...  [Read More]

Hmmm... So maybe it's the media that gets carried away and because they print/televise it people read/watch it, even if they think a particular story is oversensationalized? The article you linked to mentioned the media coverage for Anna Nicole Smit...  [Read More]
