A tale of a not so early adopter…

Published on Nov 29th, 2007 in blog, techspot | 1 Comment »

As the Executive Editor of TechSpot it would only seem logical to assume I have to be an early adopter for anything computer or technology related, but that is not the case necessarily.

Published on Nov 27th, 2007 in blog, the web | 1 Comment »

Update: The site is back up.
Everybody’s favorite computer store Newegg.com seems to be having trouble with its web servers this morning, so if you have kept hitting that reload button for the past hour or so, don’t worry it’s not your net connection.
The more time that passes the less often we see this kind of […]

Halo 3 is a modern MDK

Published on Nov 23rd, 2007 in blog, gaming | 4 Comments »

While spending some vacations away from home for Thanksgiving I had the chance to play a few Xbox 360 games that my relatives owned and I personally hadn’t give them a chance for trying or buying myself. As always it was pretty fun playing Guitar Hero in a large group, and once again, Fifa was […]

Published on Nov 19th, 2007 in blog, hardware, deals | 2 Comments »

Update: There is a newer deal on 8800GT that I posted here.

Wait a second… getting the almighty 8800GT for the actual $250 MSRP? And from BestBuy? When a majority of desperate gamers are overpaying as much as $70 for getting one of these cards, this almost sounds too good to be true. But according to […]

ATI’s new Radeon HD 3870 is no 8800 GT killer…

Published on Nov 15th, 2007 in gaming, hardware | 5 Comments »

Our friends at Legion Hardware were the first website in the whole net to post official benchmark numbers for AMD/ATI’s latest videocard the ATI Radeon HD 3870. It definitely paid off living in Australia for our good friends as they were almost 18 hours early to the game…
The bad news are however that the Radeon […]

Optimus Maximus keyboard in action (video)

Published on Nov 13th, 2007 in blog, interesting links, hardware, video | 5 Comments »

For over two years we have reported several times on this keyboard that is supposedly being actively developed by a group of russian designers and developers. So many times in fact I have pretty much told TechSpot news editors to stop posting news on this topic until we can see some actual progress…

Facebook is king in the reign of the Web 2.0 ridicule

Published on Nov 10th, 2007 in blog, the web | 2 Comments »

Somewhere in between the launch of the Centrino platform and the present day I seem to have lost track on what the web means to a large share of online users, or have I?

Street Fighter, the later years…

I didn’t know if adding some humor would be a good fit for the blog, but let’s say because I’m still trying to set the tone here (and keep those updates coming), let me experiment with a video from CollegeHumor.com that I just found to be hilarious. I’m sure many ten-somethings, and pretty much all […]

Run Crysis in Windows 2000

Published on Nov 6th, 2007 in gaming, tips & tricks | 4 Comments »

Per has done it again! As far as I’m aware he was the first and only source for bringing Bioshock to Windows 2000. Crysis is yet another (great) new generation shooter that officially only supports XP and Vista, but he has managed to bypass that limitation and get the demo fully working on his trusty […]
