PS3 Releases
Sorry for not having this up the past couple weeks. Been rather constricted with time. In case you may have missed last wee’s releases, Army of Two: the 40th Day and Vancouver 2010 came out in the states and Dark Void hit shelves in Europe on the 15th (Ao2 has actually been released in [...]

jd25261 says “Just the right amount of thump” about MTX – THUNDER 5512-12" Subwoofer
I went out bought myself a new stereo, crossovers and rear speakers. Come away happy but one day noticed that something was missing. A couple weeks earlier, the rep at Car Stereo City told me that I was all set that the only that was missing that would put it together is a pair of [...]
Microsoft invites some of its bestest OEM buddies over for a Windows 7 RTM code handoff party
Redmond was the place to be last night, as Microsoft gave over that long-anticipated Windows 7 RTM code to its favorite OEM partners, including HP, Toshiba, Lenovo (pictured), ASUS, Acer, Dell, Sony and Fujitsu-Siemens.

It probably isn’t the most environmentally-friendly idea, but we love this stop-motion video of a bunch of HP printers busting out some sweet paper-and-ink patterns to an electro soundtrack. Check it out, you’ll like it. [Vimeo via Crunchgear]
Lexmark’s Touchscreen All-in-One Printers Are Simpler But Cheaper Than HP’s [Printers]
That’s my takeaway from Lexmark’s trio of Wi-Fi touchscreen printers—Technologizer notes unlike HP, Lexmark’s touchscreen is designed to simplify, not like, print web content directly, as the HP models. But Lexmark’s start at $200. [Lexmark via Technologizer]
How to Use Time Machine Backups on Windows Home Server (or Any Networked Storage) [Time Machine]
One of the lame things about Time Machine is that backups over the network are only officially supported on Time Capsule. Luckily, even if you don’t have one of HP’s Time Machine-compatible Home Servers, you can make it work. Brent Freidman lays out exactly how to get Time Machine backups to work with any Windows [...]
Dragon Quest IX Already Being Hacked [Japan]
Tomorrow in Japan, Dragon Quest IX is going on sale. But there is already at least one player who has conquered the game — by cheating. This character is a Level 99 with max HP and MP, and it has 9999999 Experience and 9999999 G, making it way more impressive than Koichi Sugiyama’s Level [...]
HP Mini 110 netbook gets 1366 x 768 display option
HP’s Mini 110 netbook already had quite a bit going for it as it is, including a fair number of configuration options, but it looks like HP has now sweetened the deal even further by adding a 1366 x 768 display option. That upgraded screen is also thankfully the same anti-glare type of display that’s [...]
