To come…

Yay I’ve not only got to move into a new place in two weeks but we’ve got to move offices next month as well, that’ll be a laugh, hopefully we can find somewhere as nice as we have now. It’s going to be good though - because we can start a fresh on the tidiness of the labs, rather than have it always look like a bombs hit it. I’ll be missing the diversity of kit we see from TR though, as well as the guys there (of course).

Well, so far this week I’ve managed to kill a Sapphire board (I still maintain it had a bad BIOS chip to start with), a Seagate hard drive is on its way out (SMART errors started a Christmas though) and our Black Edition Phenom might not even do 2.5GHz - I have to play some more on that one too. I’ve also found my beloved ThermalRight eXtreme doesn’t even fit with the AMD boards I wanted to OC on - it easily conflicts with the memory and you can’t turn it 90 degrees! Bah!
We’ve got a ton of stuff still to come this month and I haven’t even started my HTPC mobo article and Energy Efficient motherboards, let alone go back up to test some more PSUs. *sigh* Although I am starting to run out of stuff for a change, rather than barely keeping my head above the hardware.

 

Thank You For Ruining My World, Creative

I just got this press release through and the title states:

CREATIVE INTRODUCES THE ZEN STONE AND ZEN STONE PLUS, WITH BUILT-IN SPEAKERS: MICRO BOOM BOXES THAT FREE PEOPLE FROM HEADPHONES.

I can’t stand companies that further destroy society, now I have to listen to some cock’s music on the train with his new Zen piping out some shit through pissy speakers.

Creative, I honestly can’t thank you enough. Didn’t you ever stop to think that Headphones were made for a reason?!

It may free some, but it enslaves others.
