buying a mac (yes again)

Well if you want to play games, a top of the line iMac is your best option. Even with that don't expect mind-blowing gaming experiences because as your probably know, Macs are not gaming machines. While the 17inch MBP is great, for most the extra size is not worth is considering how is is not...

Serious Beef with GTA4... and Gamespot

Without a doubt GTA4 is the most over hyped and overrated game of all time (beating out God of War 2 by a margin). I have been playing the GTA serious for over 11 years since GTA was released for the PC and I have played through all of the latest incarnations and I was so unbelievably...

old cable + iphone = no?

Older ipod USB cables work with no problem, if you haven't already done so, restore your iphone as this is the solution to 99% of the problems. If that doesnt solve it, it is time to call Apple or drop by your local apple store.

iPhone Stock is Gone - Looks like 3G is here very very soon

This is definitely a sign that something is going on. While this is not resulting in massive losses for Apple, they are certainly loosing a significant number of sales. The part that puzzles me is if they are in fact releasing the next version so soon, how they kept it from leaking during FCC...

So has Steam matured by now?

I think Steam is GREAT. Been using it since day one of it's release and had few complaints back then. IMO the two best features of Steam are the ability to instantly have access to a game and in the same sense, being able to play any Steam game on any computer. The only problem I see with...
