Sony releases the Dual Shock 3 in US
Posted by trm96 | Filed under Videogames
After a long delay Sony is finely releasing the Dual Shock 3 controller in the US. The long awaited vibration feedback controller is making it’s way to US stores. There were a lot of concerns US gamers were having about such things as battery live and such, well I can say that I have seen no conscionable difference between the life of the battery on either of the controllers (as I have had my Dual Shock 3 for about 4 or so months).

Comcast/BT Part 13: Is it over?
Posted by trm96 | Filed under Comcast, Technology News
It may seem that Comcast might have finely folded and laid their cards on the table by conceding, and making attempts at working out a solution to the whole BitTorrent thing (it’s a start). It’s too early to call this a win for the users but the end may finely be in sight. This will be still a long and bumpy road a head, but I am going to remain optimistic about the whole thing…

Will MS ever deliver XP SP3?
Posted by trm96 | Filed under Technology News, Windows
Right now the burning question is to Microsoft: “When you going to finely release XP service pack 3?” Is Microsoft’s delaying SP3 in hopes of more people adopting Vista over XP? This could very well be a delay tactic on the part of MS to get those people and businesses that have yet to make the jump to Vista to do so, as MS releases yet another XPSP3 RC2 refresh.

Windows XP is coming to the end of it’s product life-cycle. Even though XP still has a huge fan base Microsoft is planning to stop selling XP as of Jan. 31, 2009, and has informed OEMs to stop selling computers with XP pre-installed on June 30, 2008. This should not come as a surprise to all you XP fans as this has been a Microsoft policy for some time now (think back to windows 2000). It also seams as though Microsoft has pushed Service Pack 3 for XP to next month (April).
