Trillian is this neat multi-network chat client for Windows. Unfortunately it suffers from really long development cycles. In fact the latest version was released way back in December of 2004. Whelp there’s some new screenshots and a teaser site up for the next version, Trillian Astra. It’s got a fresh new interface (but is still…

Here’s a great article that explains the bandwidth problems cable and satellite providers face when it comes to delivering HDTV. Decoding the source signal of an HD channel and re-encoding it at a lower bitrate for distribution to customers is common practice in the cable and satellite industry.

Why carry around 20 separate DS game cartridges when just one will do it all? The SuperCard DS just went on sale this week, and it’s the first Slot-1 flash card from the well-established SuperCard company. All you need is the $50 SCDS and a Micro SD card to put in it. There’s no need…

After at least a decade of suffering under Times New Roman, Microsoft got ballsy and changed Word’s default font…

If you only watch one TV commercial this year, it should be Fedex’s “Map“. It’s 30 seconds of awesome.

Ha-hoooo! Devhook 0.51 means that you can now emulate firmware 3.01 on your PSP… 3.x firmware has an embedded PSOne emulator, so this is especially awesome news.

You can do the same thing to get a free copy of Office 2007 as well. Good luck registering. The site’s hammered. And yep, it’s legit. Of…
