Xbox 360 Voice	Saturday, May 13, 2006

It's sad to think that my own Xbox 360 blogs more often than I do. But it's the truth. You can check out what it's been blogging about at its site, unfortunately there's not much to read, since I haven't turned the thing on in 3 days. Although I probably should have, since there's Marketplace demos available for the week of E3 and then they're gone. Who knows, maybe they're still there... whatever.

Also, make sure to check out sites like IGN for some E3 news, and I don't have to say, but there's lots of good news over at www.worldofwarcraft.com about the greatest game of all time.

The Big T	Thursday, May 04, 2006

This will probably be pertinent to California State University, Northridge alumni and current students, but who knows, perhaps fraud to the extent of over $5 million may interest some of you.

Part 2: Seven experts say objects not genuine antiquities

Pulling the BS card	Tuesday, May 02, 2006

Have you seen the new Apple ads bashing PCs? If not check them out on their site.

I watched them and I have to say, BULLSHIT. I'm sorry phour you're going to hate this.

One of the videos refers to PCs crashing and restarting. Now, coming from a person who uses a Mac at work and a PC at home, I can tell you that Macs ALWAYS close applications for no reason and after two days of use, I'm almost always forced to restart the damn thing. My PC on the other hand has been running nonstop for at least 2 months and not once have I restarted it because of some error. And in the past 2 years of using my PC (running Windows XP) not a single application closed on me while I was working. The Mac at work is notorious for closing Indesign, Photoshop, etc. without a single warning, at best I get a pop-up afterwards that says, the program had to close due to something or other.

Anyway, check out the videos and judge for yourself.
