So.....
I'm at the apple store walked in guess what I saw the new IPad2 looks really cool the specs could do a Linux distro like ubuntu.

But thats only part of it the employees seam nice

I remember back in the day when all installation programs were offline by nature and easy to transport. It was simple to backup, simple to use, and it didn't require a internet connection. Unfortunately, half of the programs I have used feel that it is an easier method. The basic reality is though that this method of installation is completely ass backwards.

Ok, I've had a chip on my shoulder for the last fifteen years about this and after this week it's time I talk about it. Recently, I saw some people wanting signatures for clean power when right on cue, "What I Got" starts playing which prompted me to not sign. Now, many people call Sublime punk and credit them for reviving mainstream interest in punk. The reality is that Sublime is NOT punk, not original, and one of the most overrated bands of all time.

Ok, I've talked before about how GPU acceleration is starting to get heavily abused. Well, I've just about had enough of this cause some of the programs (cough, Skype 5) force GPU acceleration and do not allow for it to be turned off. Seriously, on a mobile platform with any decent Nvidia or ATI chipset this will make the laptop overheat with no justified reason. This bullshit needs to be stopped and developers need to either optimize it, or at least give people the option of turning this broken bullshit off.

Over the last couple of years I have accumulated a small pile of old cases and out dated junk that is starting to fill up office. Majority of it is not worth sending to 3rd world or give away. Dose any of members in the Jacksonville, Fl area know of any place that will take old pc and out dated laptop parts.

Ok, this is one of the hardest entries that I will have to do cause the honest reality is that Cave makes AWESOME shmups. However, I must call into question their recent missteps. As an American fan I feel puzzled by the decisions the company has made about US releases. What makes this worse is that the erratic decisions continue to this day.

First, in 2009 a huge news development took place when Mushihime-sama Futari, one of the most infamous Cave shmups in terms of difficulty, was made region free for the Xbox 360. Now, unlike most games released domestically for the 360, this is extremely rare due to Microsoft of Japan requiring all content be cleared in all regions according to Cave's official blog. Also, they would talk about possible future domestic and worldwide releases. This would get our hopes up, but shortly after these would be dashed.

Happy new year to all soldier-x members

Ok, today I have a hell of an axe to grind. It's no secret that I am a fan of rhythm gaming. Most recently, the DJMAX series of games was one of the reasons I chose to buy a PSP and not a Nintendo DS. However, the games themselves are having some major issues lately.

Ok, this is something that I have been VERY interested in seeing. For those not in the know, Serial Experiments Lain is a series that is beloved by both myself and RaT. However, the DVD release reflected that it was released in 1999, which was still considered the infancy of the DVD format. As a result while the release was better than most anime releases on DVD at the time, it still had image artifacts that were sadly common in DVD's early years. After Geneon closed it's US division in 2007, I believed that getting a better home release of the series would not be possible. In the meantime, the series has now received a Blu-Ray release in Japan under the title RESTORE. The biggest concern was that this would suffer the same fate of other Blu-Ray releases of older anime, which was merely standard definition masters that were merely upscaled.
