Every so often, a diamond in the ruff appears amongst the many bad descisions that Microsoft makes.

Very class act, guys. Kudos.

Man, I hate being wrong and hate it even more that Blue-Ray is going to be the HD standard, but Toshiba has announced that it will no longer produce HD DVDs, making Sony’s Blue-Ray format the de facto winner.

Ars Technica reviews the MacBook Air

I love the size, but the hard drive speed and lack of usable external ports (not to mention the price) is a show-stopper for me. *Hugs his Asus EEE PC*

OK, regardless of what Engadget says, Lotus Notes IS NOT bragging rights. In fact, I will laugh at you. A lot.

“in order to accomplish his plan, the government must have the ability to read all the information crossing the Internet in the United States in order to protect it from abuse.”

Yeah, I think he sunk his chances with the following statment:

“Americans will have to trust the government not to abuse the authority it must have in order to protect our networks, and yet, historically the government has not proved worthy of that trust.”

So, remind me, why am I supposed to give you this power again?

My wife, being the delectable little elf she is, bought be one of the much sought after Zapper w/ Link’s Crossbow. Why she didn’t wrap it and proceed to torment me about it for the next few days, is beyond me.

Sadly, I haven’t had the time I would like to dedicate to fully immerse myself into the game, what, with the holidays upon us and all. No, my zapping has been limited to the first three levels.

I will say this, though: The complexity of the game, and the difficulty right along with it, ramps up fairly quickly. You move from stationary targets in the first level to pounding moving targets in the second to mastering moving and shooting both stationary and moving targets at the same time in the third level. The difficulty gap in moving from level 2 to level 3 is astounding and leaves me wonder what the other levels will be like.

Even with the difficulty of the game, I’d recommend it. Heck, it’s only $25, which, no matter how it’s sliced, is a deal for a Wii game and accessory. Plus, Link’s Crossbow is much more polished and put together than Wii Play, and that got bought up like hotcakes, for nothing more than the idea that you’re getting a $10 game with your extra controller. With that in mind, the $25 price tag for accessory and a game that blows Wii play away is an outright steal.

No, if only I can get my hands on Umbrella Chronicles and the yet unreleased House of the Dead 1 & 2, I’d be in Wii ecstasy!
