    Bot Maker Claims Blizzard ‘Stole’ Its Source Code

    Sounds like the botmaker has a better case against Apoc than Activision.

    best upgrade for $200

    I say save your money up for a better upgrade when you can buy an oculus rift retail, as long as you don't already have a dev kit you're wanting to play with.

    Amazon Prime Price Hike Will Hit Subscriber Base Hard

    They should just raise the price by $10 already, these games where they talk of $20-$40 increases is just making management look silly. Prime is handy but their streaming service is years behind Netflix in both UI polish and library size.

    Cops: U.S. Law Should Require Text Message Logs

    That would be sensible, which of course means it will never happen. They're looking to set it up to log every text into a database for their convenience, and have a huge exception list to avoid warrants for access.

    Woman Lets Internet Name Her Baby For $5k

    People can nominate names but the sponsor chooses the initial list that people can vote on and I seriously doubt they will have anything worse than Moronica would've come up with on her own.

    Mouse showdown, Logitech vs Razer.

    In generic Logitech vs Razer terms I've found Logitech to make more durable mice with less annoying software, and both have a quality feel & response unless you delve into the entry level Logitechs. Looks are very subjective, if you dislike how one looks don't get it, but no comment on those...

    Amazon Digital Downloads Sale. Farewell to February.

    All MMO's have issues but GW2 seems fun to me and plenty active when I have time to play. If you're a fan of the RvR/WvW style gameplay it's a must buy IMO. That aside as a general MMO it's worth checking out considering the price and lack of subscription fees without any obnoxious pay2win...

    Amazon Digital Downloads Sale. Farewell to February.

    Amazon digital download games are always purchased one at a time unless bundled, there is no cart. That said, I didn't test whether or not the coupon was actually limited to a single use.

    Amazon Digital Downloads Sale. Farewell to February.

    X-Com EU Slingshot DLC (6.99) is on sale for 5.24, coupon took it to 3.93 Maybe it's not smoking hot but I doubt us X-Com junkies will find a better DLC deal anytime soon.

    Can you connect your laser printer to the same power bar as your computer?

    Details matter here, there's a lot of variety in laser printers and a large workstation laser could easily use 11 amps when printing while a small personal laser might draw around 3 amps when printing. So if you really want to have the printer on UPS backup power you should check the specs on...

    Hot: Sim City Limited Ed - Pre Order 59.99 - $20 amazon credit AND access to Beta

    $20 Amazon Credit > 5 Origin Coupons for $10 off $20+ (not stack-able and coupons expire 3/15/13) $20 Amazon Credit > 5,000 Origin Coupons IMO. I'm not hating on Origin, the coupon just isn't that great while a generic Amazon Credit is the next best thing to cash back.

    $25 - THQ megapack - 19 games - Amazon download

    Yeah, anyone from the Nov-Dec $5 promo credit for Amazon Editor's Choice games get's it applied making this even hotter. 19 Games - Metacritic Average over 78% Company of Heroes is a few years old but it's a classic for anyone that missed it. The newer titles may not be game of the year...

    RMA'ed a 5870 for artifacting, replacement does same thing.

    They just shipped it back hoping that you would decide getting them to honor the warranty was more trouble than it's worth. Sounds unrelated, if you can test the 'new' video card in another motherboard it would be ideal. If that's not practical I wouldn't worry about it at this point...

    Office 2013 Not Included with the Surface Pro

    Surface pro is just PC, if you want MS Office you pay extra, or you use LibreOffice. Office on RT is something of a big deal because OSX ipad & Android don't have very good office suites but that's never been a problem with an x86 Windows OS.
