In Mac OS X, you vote with your Dock. Think about this. How many applications are sitting on your hard drive. How many of those came with the OS? How many did you read about on the web, download, try, and forget. How many of those did you buy? How many actually made it to… More

HEY. E3 is this week. How’d that happen? The fact I’d no clue that it was this week means one of two things: 1) I’m don’t travel in in the right game geek circles or 2) there is nothing buzz worthy about the event this year. Anyhow, anyone know of a weblog for someone who… More
