By Mark O’Neill Contributing Writer, [GAS] If you happen to have a spare $60,000 lying around and you don’t know what to do with it (common problem, happens to us all), then here’s an idea on what to spend it on – a lifesize lego replica of yourself. Imagine the reactions of friends and family […]
By Sterling “Chip” Camden Contributing Writer, [GAS] Today I’m trying out the new Epson WorkForce 600 printer/copier/scanner/fax combo. To make a long story short: at less than $200 (about $149 at some outlets) it delivers a lot of printer for the money. But not everything in this review is rosy. Read on for the full story […]
In the following video, Microsoft engineer Sean Siler explains how he came to be the real “PC” guy inside Microsoft’s latest advertising campaign. Seeing him like that goes to show that yes, Apple does indeed try to make people think that PC users look like a stereotype.
By Casey Lynn Contributing Writer, [GAS] Last night, Google announced the beta launch of its AdSense for Games program, which will focus on placing ads in casual flash games as well as some larger titles.

Being impulsive is in the nature of human beings, and to prevent people from blundering, the only thing needed is often a bit of time.

Just from the title it sounds imposing. In a way it is, because it’s a tome of 900-plus pages. […]
