@3DSteve: and why consumers care??

Banned Xbox modders get a class-action lawsuit to call their own

The big question here is whether the MS (or any other console company for the matter) has the right to set rules.

After all, no commercial company should be allowed to write laws and dictate what consumers might or might not do with the purchased good. Up to some point it is OK, but afterwards it is pure anti-trust.

With growth of video game market it's only natural that gov't would start regulating them. Especially the matter of "points" being not money. I still can't get around why cellcos have to treat your pre-paid account as money, but for video game companies it's just a number on a sheet of paper.

Design-wise, you can probably learn thing or two from http://news.cnet.com/crave/

One thing you can improve immediately is to increase space between main news column and side bar on right. The side bar is too gaudy and distracts eyes constantly from the main news column.

In general, you should be more reserved in use of colors.

P.S. Last you did redesign, many asked for a wide-screen compatible layout. It is still not there... :|

New E looks like a classical case of overdesign. Hard to tell news/etc apart. Too many colors.

You either had too much money and hired uberkool web designer or you had too much free time.

Old looked better, was cleaner (for news sites is always good) and one could immediately see where the news are, where the ads are and where the rest of it is.

You can probably clean it up over time, but bad choice of basic colors - blue, black and white - is likely to stay.

ATI Radeon HD 5970: world's fastest graphics card confirmed

Nov 18th 2009 1:49PM on Engadget

You can split screen on two displays and play it in insanely high resolutions. Presence of Eyefinity means that AMD actually thought how to answer the question before releasing the card.

> They haven't released a graphically intensive PC game

... but screen resolution is steadily moves up. 1920x1200 is soon to be new de facto standard and you need more power push that much pixels. And texture memory to make it all nice. And frequency to reach the magic sweet spot of 60fps.

NVIDIA's Fermi-based GeForce 100 GPU makes a Twitter appearance

> I'll believe it when it is on newegg.

But even then I wouldn't believe it: my reality perception going to be boggled by the usual nVidia price tag.

Gosh. You should really pull your head out of sand and look around. There are piles of simple games around. Last gem I have seen was the indie game Aztaka. It's 2D platforming RPG, though for flashy effects they use many capabilities of modern 3D cards. Osmos (also 2D) was also quite nice.

And well, NWN1 still run perfectly fine: whatever it lacks in modern graphics it compensates with full fledged RPG system.

Rumor: MW2 recalled in Russia due to 'No Russian' scene [update]

Nov 17th 2009 11:40AM on Joystiq

@Kabapu: "Not sure if the Russian government is best suited for saying whether or not the content is appropriate:"

Russians would be pissed anyway. There is a saying which goes like that (in my rough translation): Americans love their country and ready to kill anybody who disagrees with that, Russians hate their country and ready to kill anybody who agrees with that.

In other news: the scene alone might make the game a smashing hit in the rest of ex-USSR countries.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
