Glitch At Best Buy Cancels BioShock Infinite Pre-Orders
Best Buy strikes again. If you pre-ordered your game with them, you might want to give them a call. If you want better pre-order options, Microsoft is handing out 1600 MS points with the game and Amazon gives you a bunch of exclusive in-game content as well as free shipping.
Last night an issue struck 3,000 customers who pre-ordered BioShock Infinite at Best Buy, effectively canceling their orders, Side Questing reports. The glitch hit pre-orders for both PS3 and Xbox 360, predominantly online transactions.

Kaspersky Update Hoses Internet Access For XP Users Maybe it is just me but I don't have any sympathy for people (including businesses) that are still running XP. Jeez, update your damn OS folks. We apologize for the inconvenience. It does appear that there was a hiccup with an update pushed out causing Windows XP machines to lose Internet connectivity. An update was just released that should address the issue, what I will need you to do is: To get XP users Internet connectivity (temporarily), please disable the Web AV component of your protection policy for your managed computers.

Lame Tech Product of the Day A real compound bow and a bale of hay is way cheaper than this goofy contraption and you don't need an iPhone to use it either. Nothing says "kick my ass" quite like a product like this. At least with a real bow and arrow you could defend yourself. Comments Read More ...
AZZA Silentium 920 Case Neoseeker just published a review of the AZZA Silentium 920 today. The fellas say the case was a pleasure to work with even though a few areas could use some tweaking. The AZZA Silentium 920 is an affordable mid-tower case that features an interior lined with noise dampening material to reduce the noise levels of your PC components as much as possible during operation. Keeping your PC quiet is only one part of a successful setup; we review the AZZA offering to see just how cool it can keep your components as well. Comments Read More ...

Amazon Coins: Virtual Currency for Kindle Fire Amazon has announced a new virtual currency to purchase apps, games and in-app items on Kindle Fire, called Amazon Coins. The virtual currency will go live in May. For customers, it's an easy way to spend money on Kindle Fire apps and games. They'll be able to purchase as they do now, but with the ability to choose to pay with a credit card or using Coins. For you, it's another opportunity to drive traffic, downloads, and increased monetization. Plus, there's no integration required--you'll get paid the same 70% revenue share whether the customer chooses to use Coins or their own money. Comments Read More ...

Intel 335 Series 240GB SSD Our evaluation of the Intel 335 Series 240GB SSD is now online for your viewing pleasure.

'Operation Decoy File' To Help Deter Online Piracy Something like this might work in Japan but, at least in other countries, I don't think it would be a deterrent at all. In fact, it would probably just piss people off. While this may seem ultimately naïve for international online folk, the ordinary Japanese citizen is generally averse to online piracy and downloading. Most people tend to be of the opinion that it's simply not worth the risk to illegally download movies or music – even with the country being close to the top of the list for bandwidth speeds and Internet connectivity. So while this plan – apparently called "Operation Decoy File" may seem unnecessary, it may actually work in this country. Comments Read More ...
Students Hurt By The Digital Divide I like how this article never considered the obvious solution....quit assigning homework that requires internet access. Problem solved, bajillions of dollars saved. As a result, in order to complete digital assignments, these kids are forced to find sources of free Internet access outside of school. While the library is often an option, hours can be limited, particularly in the evening. As the WSJ piece details, many of these students are increasingly turning to free WiFi at places like McDonald's to complete their homework. Comments Read More ...
