Asus Crosshair IV Extreme
PC Perspective has posted a review of the Asus Crosshair IV Extreme motherboard. If you are looking to upgrade to an AMD platform, this review is definitely up your alley.

Wake Up, Geek Culture. Time to Die
This guest editorial on geek culture written by Patton Oswalt is rather entertaining. Fast-forward to now: Boba Fett's helmet emblazoned on sleeveless T-shirts worn by gym douches hefting dumbbells. The Lord of the Rings used to be ours and only ours simply because of the sheer goddamn thickness of the books. Twenty years later, the entire cast and crew would be trooping onstage at the Oscars to collect their statuettes, and replicas of the One Ring would be sold as bling. Comments
