Tom’s Hardware posted some review of the development of video graphics in the gaming technology, explaining a few technical terms in layman, and even have a bunch of comparison screenshots. Old gamer might reminescent a couple screens, and newbies can learn a thing or two about the graphic industry.
I only found books that are of interest to me less than a handful in a year, yet in a couple days I found 2 great books. On top of the piracy book on my post yesterday, here’s another that sparks an interest to me.
Are you a guy! Then chances are, you came from Guyland country!! 
lol ok maybe not… well… anyway, there’s a good article on mid-maturing crysis apparently experienced by most male homo sapiens between the age of 16 and 26….. Heh… guess I’m almost out of that place…
Cool site. Cool book. Cool idea.
Read it 
(click on the cover picture)
I got it from this article. This sum’s up the whole idea pretty well. Gotta love the comments on that page though, lol… first guy went “piracy is bad!” and the rest of them went “learn 2 read, n00b”
…are schweeeeeet!
First of, Asus went away and pointed out Windows 7-based (I tend to call it Vista Second Edition) version of their famous Eee-PC line are coming next year and it will come with a touchscreen. I’ve always wanted to get one of those “netbook-category” computers and seems like waiting for next year doesn’t seem like a bad idea. FYI, a “netbook” is like a mini-laptop. It tends to have smaller screen (usually between 10-12, sometimes 13″) and have less processing power due to the hardware configuration that needs to fit in a small form factor. On the upside, it’s small, it’s light, it (generally) last longer in terms of battery life, and it pretty much can do all basic computer.
Asus’ CEO, Jerry Shen, has the best definition I’ve seen yet: “Shen describes the netbook as a platform to consume content whereas a laptop is for creating content”.
On other news, in the past few years some “hardcore” overclocking communities tried to use oil-based liquid to cool down components. This pretty much translates to dunking the whole thing in an oil-tank…
Well guess what, now it’s available for the masses… naturally, it will cost you all of your unborn child, a couple limbs, and that new car you’ve been bragging to the neighbours… plus the performance score aren’t exactly exceptional and would be hard to justify the dollar for the performance….
…but…
oh…my…. GAWD……….. isn’t that thing SEXY OR WHAT?????????
Oh, please, do check out the full article for more (very) pretty screenshots…..
I usually take RPG with a pinch of salt… not because I don’t like them, but it is because I do. That tends to… ah crud.. something wrong in the office. I think I need to postpone posting about gaming until I get my job straighten up :p
Summary: it seems like a good game, and might be one RPG I will pick up after a long hiatus from the genre…

60 people has been arrested from this well-known (well, in the underground anyway) site for exchanging and purchasing illegal data such as skimmed credit card numbers or online banking login acquired from phishing. Full story here.
