    The Book of Eli = Fallout 3 Movie?

    Well, it was written by Gary Whitta, former editor of PC Gamer US, and I am very, very sure he has played Fallout 3, though the scenery would be a choice made more by the director, location scout, producers, etc.

    Security Breach Results In Data Sent to Iran

    Something I cannot understand is why terminals with highly sensitive information on them are allowed to be connected to the internet is beyond me. Intranets people! Mistakes like this do not happen if the user terminals are not connected to the internet.

    Is Your Ultra 750W X2 PSU Really a 550W?

    DRM-Free iTunes Store to Haunt Apple?

    Hate to go all stupid, but I own a Creative player, and an iPod 4g 20GB (which I replaced the hard drive died two years after I got it used).

    CD Trimmer?

    It also comes with a black magic marker that you can use to draw lines around the outside of the disk to help reduce light scattering through the polycarbonate and therefore jitter.... Right. While the CD lathe is useless for audio playback, it might actually be useful for high-speed...
