BREAKING: EGM returns...

From the grave that the piece of shit sell-out assholes at Ziff-Davis / Hearst made the BEST video-game rag go prematurely into. The founder is back, taking control as Publisher (Steve Harris) and we can only hope one Mr. Ed Semrad brings back the joy-gasms. I want NO part of the ludicrous bullshit fanboism that 1up.com was and is and the 'revamp' that they made EGM become. I will never, EVER forgive them for changing the most sacred and honored tradition in all of Video Gaming, the Rating System and throwing it literally out the window, because they called Assassin's Creed crappy. Umm, its an Activision game on multi console. Of course it fucking sucks.

Here's the new logo...

Dont go broke on music!

This is AWESOME! Go Microsoft, Go! Now, whats funny is, I use MSFT everything except when it comes to ZUNE. And it gets even weirder, check it: ZUNE software makes iTunes look like child play.

But yet I use iTunes. Why? Partly because I have an iPhone and syncing is super easy, but mostly the breadth of content that Apple has secured it staggering compared to MSFT in terms of Video (TV, Movies, Rental & HD). Now, do I buy ALL my music on iTunes? Hell no, I use AmazonMP3 quite often and they generally have WAY better deals!

Moral of the short story? Microsoft, wheres code-name 'Pink' at and the ZUNE phone?

Verizon Wireless has just lowered its price for the Samsung Omnia down to $99.99 with NO rebates required! Now, I'm a huge Death-Star fan, but this is a really cool device with lots of cool features' and if you are the least bit knowledgeable, you can delete the bloat ware right off this mother! AT&T, where the hell is OUR five-eight megapixel Smartphone with flash and onboard 8GBs of NAND goodness? Oh yeah, we only get the Fruit phone with its shitty camera and non video recording capabilities...

Windows 7 logo program, RC & drivers released

Microsoft has released via e-mail to Technet & MSDN members the Windows 7 RC that leaked on to torrent site nearly two weeks back, in what looks to be the exact same build. Some say this was a deliberate ploy by MSFT to not strain and wreck their servers, considering what happened with the end user experience for the Customer Beta Program.

Also, NvIDIA has released SIGNIFICANT driver updates that bring all new, modern G-Force cards up to DX 10.1 FULL compliance. Gizmodo has a great article written by Matt Buchanan detailing what these new APIs do and how the handles are managed by the system.
