Joyswag: Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack (Joystiq)

Windows Movie Maker 2.6 available for Vista, Windows 7 (Download Squad)

Feb 11th 2009 10:40PM How is this better than the WMM that shipped with Vista? I think this is only good for Win7 users who don't get WMM installed with the OS.

Halo 2 map download problems continue (Joystiq)

Apr 26th 2007 8:45PM I have posted at least one solution that I haven't seen elsewhere:

Achtung! Xbox 360 overheating explained! (Joystiq Xbox)

Mar 11th 2006 5:34AM More importantly, the Xbox guys have debunked it. Check it out: http://gamerscoreblog.com/team/archive/2006/03/10/533618.aspx

iTunes Library Updater (Download Squad)

Dec 27th 2005 4:01PM See, I keep trying out iTunes with every version, and find it lacking in many basic Winamp features. Beyond that, it's an unbelievable memory hog. The version of Winamp I've got can do podcasts and iPod transfers, great media library mamagement, and can handle more of my music-listening needs than iTunes. It's another case of Apple making a fantastic product for 80% of people, that falls way short for the other 20%.

iTunes Library Updater (Download Squad)

Dec 27th 2005 3:24AM Oh man, pretty soon there will be enough handy third-party apps and hacks to make iTunes halfway as functional as Winamp has been for years!

Microsoft: Please buy Office 2003 ... pretty please? (Download Squad)

Jul 22nd 2005 2:25AM Your picture reminds me - that ad campaign is downright awful. I've been horrified by it ever since it first appeared. Microsoft is associating its product with "dinosaurs" and suggesting that people should adapt to Office's capabilities, instead of Office adapting to help you work better. Whoever did this campaign should get the pink slip.
