This ended up being more than a rant that a review, but whatever. Before I start my review, let me just preface this by saying no one wants to hear you complaining that the book/comic is better than the movie equivalent. Every time I hear those words coming out of the movie theater, [...]

So the last semi-final match just finished, and we are now looking at a Germany v. Spain final for this Sunday. I couldn’t be more thrilled at the outcome.

Robot companions are an inevitability, as is, well, you know. We aren’t there yet, but here is the 1.0 version of the future in case you are interested.
I’m curious to what people’s opinions are on stuff like this? I doubt my views on robot companions are very typical, and honestly, I blame anime, heh. I [...]

Every once in a while something comes along that changes how we do things. The mouse is a good example and I suspect so is the OCZ Neural Impulse Actuator or NIA for short. The folks over at Overclock3d got one sent to them to review.
