The only upside to that is then you don't have to worry about mounting everything and you can probably find some good deals.

But ya, ASUS and AMD might get back into the race of things.  Intel has been slipping in stocks too when matched up against ARM.

CERT took an unusual step on Thursday by recommending people disable Java due to a number of unpatched vulnerabilities that are currently being exploited:

Has anyone bought anything off GOG.com?  Is it usable with Steam or does it just give you an install separately?

Our new LAN party copy of Empire Earth came from GOG.  They're a pretty good company.  The games come as a DRM-free executable.  They aren't "Steam games" but you can launch them from Steam if you add them to your library.

NVidia's new GTX 700 series is just around the corner.  A few juicy details and some new reference slides have been leaked.  Forgive the engrish:

With graphene technology, batteries are poised to make a massive leap in both capacity and output.  This short video provides some very interesting information about "super super-capacitor" technology.

Apparently, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher have been approached about starring in the next Star Wars film.  Interesting!

Quote:
Harrison Ford has already said he's interested in reprising his role as Han Solo in the upcoming Star Wars Episode VII, and now his Star Wars co-stars Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher are looking to revive their characters Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia as well, according to reports.

Lucas said that if they did not want to return, their characters would be "written out of the film, instead of recast".

How does one "write out" Luke Skywalker from Star Wars?

"Where's Luke?"

"Oh he's on a diplomatic mission."

"Ya?"

"Ha ha...no...he's trying to defeat the Batman!"
