Phantom Stupidity -- 2:17 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Infinium Labs has decided to seize the moral high ground in their dispute against HardOCP and had these tshirts printed up. Yep, a class act, that Inifinium Labs. Isn't this the kind of company that you'd just love to pour all kinds of investment capital into? Here's an idea, how about actually producing a Phantom console instead of coming up with "cool" tshirt designs?

J.t.Qbe comments: It isn't just Phantom stupidity...it's REAL stupidity.

IBM Opens Patents for Open Source -- 1:36 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Slashdot brings word that IBM has opened up 500 of their software patents so that open source developers can use the technologies freely. Granted, this is only a small part of their patent portfolio, but it's a good start!

The Master comments: I'm waiting from Microsoft to call this selling out to Linux. That should be fun to debate.

Cedega 4.2.1 Released -- 10:51 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Transgaming has released Cedega 4.2.1, containing mainly tweaks and bug fixes. You can read the release notes and download a copy for yourself. I haven't tried it with Half-Life 2 yet, but I'm not expecting massive performance improvements.

Pondering the Imponderable -- 9:12 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Ahh, the joy of aging. Last Tuesday I got this pain in my upper back and tingling in my fingers. I made my first ever appointment with a chiropracter. That helped, but now I'm glad a scheduled a follow-up for tomorrow, because I've had another pain in that general area. I think I've had a problem there for years, but it's never been a big issue before. Right now it's very annoying to type and I have a hard time carrying my year-old daughter around very long.

In a totally unrelated note, I'm glad I didn't ask Eeyore to pick the playoff games with me. I would've picked the Colts and I might have picked the Rams (that would've been a toss-up) but I never would have picked the Vikings or the Jets. There is no joy up here in the land of cheese and make-believe.
