Wii-related injury roundup (Engadget)

Dec 17th 2006 11:44AM The point is, what if these people were playing actual sports. I mean say the woman dislocated her knee with a tennis racquet on the court. It would be her fault for having no co-ordination! Same applies! It's sport!

All this just makes me REALLY want a wii... Stuck with my Xbox (no, not a 360) until I stop being a student and get back to working for a living...

AMD's fancy new Quad FX chips smeared by single Intel CPU (Engadget)

CE-Oh no he didn't! Part XIX - Watkins says Seagate "helps people buy crap... and watch porn" (Engadget)

Dec 2nd 2006 7:36PM I don't get it... how are they helping people "buy crap"? Surely that's Amazon, eBay, etc. (Although at least eBay conversely help people sell crap too...)

MIT developing an "engine on a chip" to beat the battery (Engadget)

Myth 0.20 is released (Download Squad)

Sep 14th 2006 12:22PM Hi, I live in the UK and use the budget PCI card for this purpose, along with Ubuntu (these cards are great - don't be put off by the word budget - all it means is they pull the MPEG2 multiplex straight off DVB-T signals and that's it - but that's perfect for Myth anyway). MythTV really is top class. If anyone wants any help setting it up then please get in touch - I currently have a headless always-on unit, an Xbox front-end (plugged into the telly) and my laptop (XP or Linux-based frontends) for watching in bed, etc. If anyone wants any help esp if they are in the UK and using DVB (Freeview) then get in touch with me - ewwsimpson at google's mail service, gmail.com.
