    Computer Innovation or source of rage, you decide.

    From an economics point of view I can see how this could make sense. The company producing the hardware cuts costs by producing lots of the same item, each item being capable of performing at different tiers of power. They can pass those reduced costs on to the customer, bringing the price of...

    Coop game suggestions

    Trine fits your needs perfectly. Three player co-op, on the same PC, available on Steam, dirt cheap at the moment.

    Sony Online Strongly "Hints" Planetside Sequel Coming This Spring

    Can not wait! The Escapist is going to secure some awesome launch event? Yes? We need another war against RPS and Offworld.

    EA and Activision Take Their War to Google

    Some companies think this kind of thing is enough cause for some legal action. Marks and Spencer (British supermarket/dept-store chain) are getting sued atm for it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-11531677

    tablet war

    Programming environments. I can run Eclipse, MySql, Tomcat Server and about a hundred other development tools on my netbook, no chance on a tablet.

    Create a Life-Sized Paper Clone of Yourself

    This is only a head, but I think it's much better done. http://www.testroete.com/index.php?location=head

    Epic Mickey: Warren Spector's Epic Gamble

    Great pieces like this are why I keep reading The Escapist, thanks Russ. As for the game itself, I may have a reason to resurrect my Wii when it comes out.

    Final Fantasy Characters: Best And Worst

    Fang(XIII), Cid(VII) and Vincent(VII) for my favourites. I think the visual design for Fang is particularly brilliant. Hope(XIII) and Rosch(XIII). Rosch's blind zeal just seems pointless, no explanation offered for his motivations.

    Well UK, It must be fun living in a real life "V For Vandetta". Drones unleashed

    As everyone has said, it's the Daily Mail so take it with a pinch of salt. However if it does transpire to be true the drone will be so expensive I'd imagine it would only be used for high profile events, like large demonstrations and sports events, and that's a good thing. Allowing the police...

    Help me choose between two laptops please.

    Thanks again for the help everyone, I ended up going for the Dot m/u. Saw the HP in store and it was too bulky for my liking. The Acer is only available on-line and I'm not comfortable buying something so expensive that I've not laid my hands on.
