I have to admit that this news actually brought a tear to my eye. No, not simply because there actually is going to be a second season. While I am very happy about that, what was very moving was the news that star Andy Whitfield, Sparatacus himself, has apparently triumphed outside of the gladiatorial arena in the biggest battle of […]
Read moreWhen I first heard about this, I was fairly skeptical, but the lack of good science fiction on TV lately drew me to this and I’m really glad it did. The pilot episode for Pioneer One is available to anyone and everyone for absolutely free, all via torrent distribution. I just finished watching the pilot and, especially for a $6000 […]

CBS is due to make their official announcement on Wednesday, […]

I had been thinking it was a memory issue and swapping some of the chips out and/or putting them in different slots seemed to make it work again. This, in spite of the fact that memtest showed no issues at all. I was beginning […]

The best PSU you can’t buy? Perhaps. SPCR seems to think this is the best PSU right now when it comes to both efficiency and noise. Sadly, they also noted that it’s still unavailable in the US, even 4 or 5 months after its announcement. Ironically, I’m in the market for a PSU and would love to pick one of […]

I never paid much attention to recliners because they always reminded me of my father and grandfather (read: old folks’ furniture). However, Berkline has integrated some impressive technology into their line of recliners, which my folks would never find a use for!

Lots of big, clickable screenshots for you image lovers out there. 😉 They pretty much walk you through the entire feature set beginning with the new hardware requirements on through to installation and configuration. …a huge amount of development has happened under the hood to […]

I had to take a moment to pick my jaw up off the floor after seeing these pictures. Maddie Chambers is a hardcore LOTR fan and she used her amazing talent over the course of a year to recreate Bag End in excrutiating detail. Looking at the huge array of photos she has online, her Hobbithouse (aka dollhouse) could easily […]
