Just When You Thought You Had Enough RAM
Jan/090
Well, okay, so you never thought you had enough RAM. There is no such thing as enough RAM, but we might be getting closer.
Not long since the announcement of two freaking terabyte drives, comes an announcement from Samsung that 32 GB RAM sticks are possible.
I think the computer of my dreams will be possible in the next few years. Leaving me free to dream of a newer, more ridiculous computer. Sweet.
DRM: No You May Not Play Gears of War
Jan/090
Ah DRM, how you encourage piracy. As of 1/28/09, all legit copies of Gears of War stopped working. The only way to correct this problem was to roll back the system clock to a time before 1/28/09.

The tech behind hard drives is already like something from space. Surely, the tech behind breaking the 2TB barrier is thoroughly amazing as well, though the press release is not giving up many answers.
Digital media hounds, rejoice and cast physical media from your life!
