Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Feb 28, 2006 6:00pm PSTSo it looks like HD-DVD drives will finally become available for standalone at the end of next month and then for PCs in April according to the latest statements by Toshiba. Blu-ray players are coming a little later and it still looks like they will be more expensive.
- Superbattery - Rocketman is hot - AOL still pushing email fees - Woah.. NYT sues PentagonLastly, Apple announced a few things as expected today, one of the small surprises though was the iPod HiFi. That's HIGH FIDELITY. Can you FEEL IT? YEAH!?

I personally would like to strangle this guy.
Google stock has been hit hard lately and as just as things were rebounding and the stock was up yesterday their CFO decides today to open his mouth and diss his own company causing the stock to tank $14Billion in mere minutes.
At least it gained back almost half by the end of the day.
I came to work this morning and did a big WTF as it was down 50 points and I was out thousands just as I'm getting my finances together to mail to a mortgage broker on a house I'm buying.

Unintelligent design !
http://www.discover.com/issues/mar-06/cover/
We have been looking for our designer in all the wrong places. It seems we owe our existence to viruses, the least of semiliving forms, and about the only thing they have in common with any sort of theological prime mover is their omnipresence and invisibility. Once again, viruses have altered the way that we view them and, by extension, ourselves. As it turns out, they are not the little breakaway shards of our biology—we are, of theirs.

Its really not that intuitive to use imho. How the hell do you eject the cdrom drive? Where are the buttons? Once I got past that, its really really cool. I like the icon setup across the bottom and all that junk as well. Sadly, shacknews is all jacked up in safari :(
How do you burn a a large .dmg file from a windows machine? dmg2iso didn't work. I tried burning it as raw data, and that was a nogo. Nero did say something about large files being readable in wxp since the file size was so large :(
I was able to burn .cdr files pretty easily from my home machine, and they work perfectly on here.

Is it a FPS? Is it available for PC? Or will it be? If it isn't yet, that's cool, I still need to finish Total Overdose and the Painkiller add-on and Contract J.A.C.K. and Dead to Rights and Duke 3D with the HDR Pack and the free Shadow Warrior add-on and H-L2. Thanks!
XOXOX,

It is Travis Stenger's part from Green Apple's Modern Love (I think this is a Canadian company). Anyways, the dude's part is fucking sick. He has great style and does some sweet tricks.

Has anyone pre-ordered from Amazon.co.uk or Play.com?
I'm pre-ordering GRAW and Burnout Revenge and Amazon says GRAW ships march 8th (yay!) and BR on march 15th but Play doesn't mention when they're shipping. Do they do it like Amazon and ship two days before so that you get it on release day or do they ship on the release date?
