On October 10th, 2007 Radiohead released their newest album In Rainbows in a very unusual way.  You could log into their website and either order a big box set or you could name your price for drm-free MP3 files.  And yes $0.00 was an acceptable price.  This story has been covered over and over in the popular tech media outlets,...

I recently picked up a new TV for my bedroom.  I ended up with a very nice Sharp 720p 32" LCD.  However, now that I have the new screen, I wanted to upgrade the sound system in my bedroom.First off, to help understand my bedroom we should go over a few things about this area.  I have a roommate, so...

In the world of comic books, every now and then a tale emerges that is so monumentally epic that it forever raises the standards of what make a comic great. I've never been much of a comic book reader, but when Death of Superman was released in 1993 (wikipedia.org), even I understood that the tale being told was of epic proportions. Aside from the mere fact that DC Comics was killing of a character that had been around in comics for the better part of a century, they were killing off a character who's power was on par with the great gods of countless civilizations. Superman was a modern-day god and to kill him off (even with the intent to eventually bring him back), required a story as epic as any the Greeks or Romans could dish out. While I doubt that The Death of Superman will be as timeless of a tale as Ulysses, it is still worthy of being called an epic story Read more ...

It's been a few weeks now since I got my PS3 and overall I've been pretty satisfied with it. To start with I initially got two games to play on the system: Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Warhawk. Marvel Ultimate Alliance was on sale for half-off at Best Buy and it didn't look all that bad so I figured it was worth it to have an additional game around. The game itself is pretty decent, though I've only put a little bit of time into it so far. But I'm not here to talk about the value of a half-off game because for the price you pay for it, it doesn't have to be great to be worth the money you've put into it. Online only games such as Warhawk, however, are a completely different story. Read more ...

If there is anything that a geek can tell you today, it's that comic books are back. Not that they ever really disappeared; rather they have been heavily acknowledged by the Hollywood movie studios, video game studios, high profile newspapers and magazines like GQ. Read more ...

Microsoft isn't exactly my favorite company out there for a lot of good reasons. Of all the things I don't like about the company, however, the one product that I've always been pretty satisfied with was their Office software. Don't get me wrong, it hasn't always been all that great and has pretty much always been a memory hog forcing... Read more ...
