26 October 07 - 21:02More flim-flam from MicroSHAFT

Today I was reading that Microsoft (or, what I more accurately call them, MicroSHAFT) is now releasing a different version of their XBox gaming console, called XBox Arcade. More details on this can be found here.

It's decisions like this that clearly demonstrates to me what products are actually worth the money you pay for them and what products are crap. I mean, not even MS is confident enough in their gaming system to allow it to stand on it own merits. What do I mean by this? Well, let's examine this for a moment... Read More Here...

24 October 07 - 20:08More Wii Stuff and Metroid Prime 3

I just received my confirmation e-mail this evening that Nintendo has sent my new Wii-mote jackets on to me and should be here in a couple of days.

It seems as though Nintendo has decided to ship all new Wiis with padded jackets for the Wii-motes for the bone-heads who can't seem to keep a grip on their controllers while they're playing. Myself, I can't quite understand why some people have such a difficult time holding on to their Wii-motes and not bash it into the heads of nearby observers/players. Anyway... Read More Here...

18 October 07 - 15:41Week two and Mandriva is a dream!

I'm on week two with the new Mandriva OS and, I have to say, it's the best experience I've ever had with a PC.

Mandriva 2008 has proved itself to be a fast, stable, robust and easy... really easy. I have it installed on my 1.8GHz laptop (with 512MB of RAM), as well as my wife's 1.2Ghz laptop (with 256MB of RAM) and it works like a dream on both machines. Read More Here...

08 October 07 - 19:39I'm Back! With Mandriva 2008!

Wow, it's been a long time since I last posted. However, I don't think many people have noticed.

What brought me back to my blog was that I wanted to pass along the news that Mandriva is about to release their new Linux operating system, Mandriva 2008.0! I've signed up to be one of their "official" seeders on Bittorrent, so this past weekend, we got advanced access to the torrent files so we can get ready for the official release in a couple of days.
