    ZOMG, that's racist! 13/11/2009 13:03:00

    Pretty much everything is accused of being racist these days. From Creole chocolate cookies to old reruns of Speedy Gonzalez -- the cry of "ZOMG, That’s Racist!" is never far away. Even our humble video game consoles have come under increasing rates of fire. Most gamers vehemently deny the charges of cultural intolerance directed at their video games -- after all, it's just social watchdogs making a fuss about nothing... Right?

    The Panasonic TH-P50G15A is a well-designed, 50in plasma television offering great picture quality, but its access to Internet sites including YouTube, Picassa and Bloomberg’s stock, business and weather reports wasn't as groundbreaking as we’d anticipated. Nonetheless it remains a good quality plasma television for the right buyer.

    Why do the press hate the Sony PlayStation 3? 21/08/2009 14:06:00

    Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few days, you’ve doubtlessly heard about the PlayStation 3 Slim and accompanying $200 price drop. Next month, the big black box we know and love will be replaced with a svelte, streamlined variant that weighs a third less than the current model. More importantly, it’s going to cost just $499, which places it in direct competition with the Xbox 360 Pro console.

    Could bandwidth caps come to mobile phones -- because of porn? 07/07/2009 09:47:00

    Let's face it: We're a world that loves smut. More than a third of Internet users surf to salacious sites on a semiregular basis, according to some purely academic research cited in a recent Harvard study (PDF). Most of those users hit nearly eight X-rated sites each month -- and, even with a typical visit lasting only 11.6 minutes (insert inappropriate joke here), that can add up to an awful lot of video-based bandwidth.

    Sims 3 downloaded 180,000 times in 4 days 30/05/2009 03:33:00

    EA's The Sims 3 doesn't ship until early next week, but it's already outpaced Spore in illegal downloads, reports Bloomberg. According to file-share monitor BigChampagne LLC, The Sims 3 was downloaded at least 180,000 times in just four days, between May 18 and May 21. By contrast, Spore -- the most pirated game of 2008 -- was downloaded some 400,000 times over three weeks. It's entirely conceivable that The Sims 3's piracy numbers could eventually climb into the millions.
