Looks like you've found the most heated headline of the week.  Next up, lets debate religion.

AMD Announces Phenom II X4 and Promises Move to 32nm by 2011

Interesting to see AMD adopting the naming convention that Intel just dropped (Core 2 Quad), because it was too confusing.  I guess they need something to say "This isn't Barcelona," though, and they've put too much money into the Phenom brand to just dump it that soon.

I think this will set off a new round of complaints about people buying it and either having to replace their case because it doesnt fit, or their motherboard because they lost their SATA ports.

AT&T One-Ups Comcast with 20GB (not 120GB) Bandwidth Cap

Posted 11/05/2008 at 10:17:52am

Someone using 20GB is hardly a bandwidth hog.  Give me a break.  This is just another way for AT&T to secretly hit customers will charges they didn't know were coming, then try to talk the disgruntled customer into upgrading when they call to ask about the charges.

Keyboards with integrated trackballs can be annoying to use, but they would be a user's dream compared to this.  (head scratch...)  The stress injury comment is priceless.

I'd bet they're enjoying a good laugh right now.  This kit is nowhere near the Hardcore system in terms of useability.  From the looks of it, most people could piece meal something like this together with a trip to Walmart.

Chinese Pirates Angry Over Microsoft’s Blackout Anti-Piracy Tool

I know the black screen follows the MS tradition of not providing users with any information as to why their system suddenly failed, like their infamous way of providing abstract error numbers that don't give an indication of the problem. 

I think it would be a little more useful to at least blue screen people with a message saying the OS had been detected as a pirated copy and they should go to the vendor, just in case the people honestly thought they had purchased a legitimate copy and paid a lot for it.  The black screen just probably has a billion people scratching their heads right now.
