Creative spills the beans on X-Fi faults "Apparently, all of those that exhibited the symptoms were high-spec gaming systems. Isolating them has taken a bit of time mostly because although they all seemed be based on NForce4 chipsets, they didn’t have much else in common."

I've never leased a vehicle before, usually buy a ~12k used Cherokee every 3-4 years. Here's what Im looking at: 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4, 5.7L Hemi The limited package basically has everything I want, but I upgraded the wheels, added towing package (for my boat) and removed the sunroof, so the base MSRP is $40,700. They are currently give a $3,500 allowance plus I get $3,512 employee discount and $1,000 for having a Jeep now. I estimate my trade in @ $4,000, so that brings the total down to ~ $28,500 @ 39 months for ~ $300/mon. The SRT8 model is $40,800 MSRP, but I would not receive ANY discounts. Any thoughts??

World of Warcraft has been rumored to be jumping platforms to the Xbox 360 for some time, but if The New York Times is correct, the next jump it makes will instead be to the world of film. The Times is reporting that Blizzard will announce Tuesday that its massively successful, massively multiplayer online role-playing game is set to be made into a big-budget fantasy picture along the lines of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings films, with Warner Bros.' Legendary Pictures handling the production. New York Times

FireWire speeds set to quadruple "On Thursday, the 1394 Trade Association announced the S3200 electrical specification for FireWire. The specification builds upon the existing IEEE 1394b standard by boosting the maximum speed from 800 megabits per second to 3.2Gbps. Importantly, S3200 can use the cables and connectors already in use for FireWire 800 products, the association claimed." "The association's statement claimed the development of S3200 meant users would see no advantage from eSATA, a competing connectivity standard that is starting to appear on hard drives and PCs alike.

The Xbox is Dead? "Today I spoke to my game distributor and he informed me that Microsoft has officially discontinued the Xbox 1.0 today. It seems as though M$ has no intentions to keep their predecessor around and make it a bargain console like Sony did with the PS1. But then again, they never said they were going to."

PCs plagued by bad capacitors "At issue are faulty capacitors on motherboards that store power and regulate voltage. Defective capacitors found in the Dell Optiplex workstations, some Apple iMac G5s, HP xw-series workstations made in 2004 and PCs with the Intel D865GBF motherboard have been found to bulge, pop, leak and crust over, causing video failure and periodic system shutdowns." They are pretty easy to repair yourself if you can use a soldering iron and find replacements CAPs!!!
