Perhaps this comes as no surprise, but almost half (46 percent) of e-mail users claim to be addicted to e-mail. Merriam-Webster OnLine defines “addicted” as “to devote or surrender (oneself) to something habitually or obsessively.” We definitely know some people like that–in fact, present company included. In conjunction with Beta Research, AOL conducted an online poll for a week in early June of 4,000 e-mail users in “the top-20 U.S. markets.” New York City came in as the “most email addicted” city in U.S.,
On Tuesday, EA reported that it had lost $95 million, or 30 cents a share, during Q1 on net revenues of $804 million. During the same period a year ago, it lost $132 million, or $0.42 a share, on net revenues of $395 million.
The company's adjusted losses came out to 42 cents a share in Q1. Thomson Financial's poll of analysts had predicted the company would post adjusted losses of $0.33 a share, according to the Associated Press. Still, EA's sales were up more than 100 percent over a year ago, thanks in large part to the success of such titles as Rock Band and the launch of Battlefield: Bad Company and Mass Effect.

If you find yourself getting sick to the stomach when you see how much cards like the GTX 280 and GTX 260 are and just cant understand why people would spend so much money on a graphics card, the 9500 GT could be in your league. The 9500 GT, as you might have guessed comes in below the 9600 series and well below the 9800s. Its designed for people who are looking at getting away from onboard graphics but dont want to blow too much money.
You have to wonder with the new GTX 280 / 260 naming scheme as to why NVIDIA are still continuing to update the older 9000 series of cards. Either way, we have a new low to mid-range graphics card thats cheap and can hopefully offer low resolution gamers something that doesnt break the bank.”

Now it looks like Microsoft’s Surface technology is ready for global domination–16 to 72-inch globes that is. This week at Microsoft’s ninth annual Microsoft Research Faculty Summit in Redmond, Washington, Microsoft showed off its Sphere research project, which takes its cues from the Surface concept and morphs the multi-touch interface onto the surface of
On Tuesday, Facebook users in the U.S. and Canada awoke to horror – the shutdown of the extremely popular Scrabulous game, in the wake of a lawsuit filed by Hasbro, the parent company of the official Scrabble game. There shouldn’t have been much withdrawal pain, though, since after all, Electronic Arts (EA, which handles the digital rights to Scrabble for Hasbro) had already created a beta version of the official game, right?Except for the fact that the servers couldn’t handle the increased load from all the
Everyone’s read something or other about the next version of Windows that will replace Vista, usually referred to as Windows 7. But it’s all still Windows. David Worthington, over at SDTimes, says he’s gotten a look at internal Microsoft documents that outline their development plan for Midori, a non-Windows Operating System. Microsoft understands that Windows is essentially a pre-Web product, and sees that the Google-led march toward virtualization and Software as a Service will eventually make Microsoft the
