Both the Windows and Mac versions of Joost were updated to version 0.8 today. The Mac version had previously only been available to the first 200 Joost beta testers to download the file. Now it is generally available to all beta testers.
Unfortunately I can’t test it myself, it’s still only available for Intel Macs. The [...]

The original adverts (from circa 1982) can be found here. The moral of this story is that no-one is going to know anything about computing unless you play games on a ‘real’ computer.

What more do you want from the oldest geek battle? Sweaters vs. turtle neck, swirly disc vs. spinning beachball, lightsabers, Explorer vs. Finder. Well you could have a guest appearance from the best selling home computer of all time!
Can you say “38911 Basic Bytes Free?”
Watch this splendid animated movie from Current TV.

I’ve blatantly put this ad onto menori simply because I like how this widget works. A random UK Apple ads plays and then you can even email the link to someone if you want. A company called Zedo put it together and I found it Technorati after doing a search for Viidoo.
Advert removed cos I [...]

The interest in Joost is quite exciting. Clearly those geeks that want to get TV on their home computers are keen to do so. But there are plenty other options if you can’t get on the Joost beta.
Viidoo is one. Sounding like it was named after a creature in the Mos Eisley cantina Viidoo works [...]

I must admit I totally missed the Joost for Mac alpha annoucement on the Joost website (you need to be logged in to see it). Perhaps all the excitement of building my new PC meant that I didn’t check the Joost site enough Once I’ve got my Media Center PC back up an running [...]

After just over three years of being my main PC (upgraded as far as running Vista) my Shuttle SB51G has now been replaced by a newer, shinier, younger, but larger model (picture of the case is on the left). Inside this new streamlined beast is an Intel E6600 Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of [...]

For those people interested in all things Oblivion who visit the Menori blog the official annoucement was last month by Bethesda. See the posting here. Make sure you search for isles with an ’s’ in it. I noticed some people finding menori.com by searching for ’shivering iles’. That would because of this comment which was [...]

It seems that Apple is trying to garner public support for lobbying the big 4 music industry producers, Sony, EMI, Warner and Universal to drop there requirements for DRM altogther.

Smigg has written a neat article on the etiquette of online gaming. I couldn’t agree more. Having played Star Wars Galaxies, Everquest 2, a bit of Counter Strike and some games of Pro-Evo 6 with and against online opposition I’ve drawn my own, often jaded conclusions of online gameplay. I cast my mind back to [...]
