And you always thought the moon was made of cheese, didn't you? It turns out that there's an estimated one million tons of a form of helium, H3, just kicking around up there. What's the big deal? Where to start...

First, there's estimated to be about 15 tons of H3 on Earth. 15 vs a one and six zeroes. This makes H3 a valuable commodity on Earth. But it makes the moon even more valuable for entrepeneurial pursuits, because, seriously, a million is a lot more than 15.

Nine Inch Nails, along with Radiohead, is one of a handful of popular music acts leading the way into the future of content distribution. Having both released albums for free (or whatever you felt it was worth) via only digital delivery, they are turning the heads of every aspect of the media delivery cycle.

While I definitely approve of all this awesomeness (BTW, Ghosts I-IV and The Slip are both ridicu-good), another interesting thing NIN has produced caught my eye today. Based...

Shortly after my first post, I made a new character and took the evoker class. I was quite fond of it, to be honest. All the class skills I have so far are FPS type range attacks. They also get some gnarly looking armor and weapons.

A couple things I want to touch on here. First, the weapon system is actually pretty cool, even if it's pretty much just a new version of the gem/rune system from Diablo. Most of the weapons after the first few missions in the game have slots where you...

So, true to my lack of financial responsibility, I made off with a copy of Hellgate: London this morning. Previously seen on the demo, short.

As a side note, I did play both a blademaster and hunter through the demo. Blademaster is fun, but even...

I finally got around to testing the TV as a computer monitor this week. My initial impression was to be quite impressed.

1920x1080 native resolution makes for a very nice desktop, and the TV handled the finer points quite well. Text was nice and clear, with no muddied areas that I could see, which is something I noticed on just about every 1366x768 monitor I used, something I attributed to having to run 1366x760 on the video output for whatever reason.

The one thing...
