    The Apple Vision Pro goes on sale in the US on February 2 for $3,499

    Apple doesn't exactly scream "Defense Contract with the Military" in their company bio anyhow.....the funny thing about Apple is this isn't some elegant solution where it's easy to take on/off like a pair of glasses, it's literally just another face mask, which is almost always the #1 universal...

    Sony still working with the FTC to stop the Microsoft Activision merger.

    Toshiba...we hardly knew ya

    I worked in the computer section of a regional Best-Buy type of store in the early 90's, so we sold a lot of Packard Bell and such.....this was before 3D cards and the only upsells were a Soundblaster card (or an AdLib if you wanted to be cheap about it) or maybe moving from an EGA to a VGA...

    Voyager 1 has finally started glitching after a near-constant operation of 46 years.

    I remember my USR HST Courier external modem chewing up the kilobits downloading a hot new ware making the rounds...it was a no-sound demo of the first level..and I think I played it over and over for hours imagining what the sound effects must be like.

    Valve accidentally reveals that Left 4 Dead was a Counterstrike mod

    I recall one of the first "zombie" mods to Half Life or HLF2 (pretty sure it was 1), came as a stand-alone 1-3 level 'demo' that was available on one of the PC Gamer demo discs at the time, this is before many of us had access to broadband so those demo CD's were a lifesaver to try out new stuff...
