    Thursday, June 22nd, 2006

    “A video of a game engine capable of rendering entire planets in real-time! Kind of makes you scratch your head eh..The game will be a MMO btw, and like Project Offset, is being made by just a few guys.”

    Major Nelson just posted when the dashboard update is coming out on the Xbox 360.

    It’s official, iTunes sucks balls

    Monday, June 5th, 2006

    Perhaps not completely but there is a certain level of reliability and common sense that needs to be present in any software and iTunes fails on both counts.
    I do like some things so I will try to highlight them as I have a little bitch:

    I love the way it organised my thousands of tracks into [...]
