Microsoft’s Courier Tablet Could be Revolutionary
Gizmodo let loose the first details, images, and video from the still-in-prototype stage tablet PC, the Courier. I actually use the term ‘tablet’ loosely because it is actually two 7”-inch, multi-touch screens hinged at the middle to form a book of sorts. This booklet PC (I like the sound of that a lot better) looks like it could revolutionize the tablet PC market. If Microsoft gets this off the ground Apple will have one extremely difficult foe to face off against in the tablet market. See more images of Courier, After the Break! Via Gizmodo

Parachutes and Grappling Hooks: A Behind Closed-Doors Look at Just Cause 2
I must admit that I was not really hyped about Just Cause 2 when we arrived at the 2009 Electronic Entertainment Expo a few days ago.

Ah yes…I do recall my first non-apple-compatible PC was a Packard Bell 486 sx-25. That is ’25′ as in megahertz. That was one cherry machine.
