Another fun aspect of LAN parties, especially big events like QuakeCon, is that you get to see all the cool, unique hardware that party goers bring. We’re sure some people really get a kick out of showing up the competition with awesome mods and paint jobs.Not

Seems that Apple says that using the Jailbrake program to open up the iPhone and iPod Touch to use approved apps and do non approved things violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Apple has always been very keen on protecting its property some would say to the point of being a bully. In this case, it puts the company up against a community of software developers and users who would prefer everything to be open.

If you use your computer for watching TV shows and movies or listening to music–especially when this media is streaming to your PC from over the Internet–there is a good chance that you’ve at least heard of boxee, or perhaps you even use it. Boxee is a free, open-source, cross-platform, media center application that has quickly become very popular, not just with users, but also even with device manufacturers who have taken notice and are figuring out how to integrate boxee into their multimedia devices, such

You won’t find liquid cooling here, but Shuttle’s latest barebones kit is still mighty impressive. The small form factor (SFF) box has the potential to be just as powerful (if not more so) than many full sized towers, thanks mostly to the high-performance Intel X58 Express chipset with ICH10R Southbridge. Those looking for a potent LAN party box should give this one serious consideration, but only if you’ve got the wallet for it. The XPC Barebone SX58H7 — hailed as the company’s “new flagship” — comes ready

In April of 2008, Aaron and Christine Boring (yes, that’s really their last name) sued Google over an alleged privacy violation after a Street View image of their property was posted to the web. They had what seemed to be a flimsy case, and the U.S. District Court of Pennsylvania agreed, as it dismissed the case on Tuesday (.PDF). Ironically, by filing the lawsuit, the Borings exposed themselves and their property (at 1567 Oakridge Lane, Pittsburgh, PA 15237) to the public. Not that anyone would look up their

Blink twice, and chances are you’ve missed something in the whirlwind world of graphics. For instance, ZOTAC’s Mini-ITX GeForce 8200-ITX WiFi was just pushed out around three months ago. Today, the same company is announcing that its GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi board is shipping to retailers and distributors worldwide. So much for staying on the cutting edge, huh?In order to make the lives of SFF builders that much easier, ZOTAC is delivering a mini-ITX platform that comes pre-loaded with NVIDIA’s GeForce 9300 CPU.
