Iron Man Take Over

This computer will blow your mind!
This is no ordinary Iron Man computer either; this thing has something that only pros would think of doing:
“…the actual face mask is hand crafted to resemble the hero and is UV reactive, it is colored with industrial paint, the front panel is designed based on the Iron Man’s chest, and more cool features and looks.”
Bet you didn’t think of doing that, now did you?
There’s also a video on the site posted below. Be sure to check out the rest of the superly amazing awesome features!

No commentsUnlock all TF2 Achievements
![]()
Since the release of the new items in TF2, there has been a coding error. Or just a fun little easter egg in my opinion.
What it does is unlocks all of these new achievements! Amazing, no?
What is the golden command you have to enter into the console (~)? Simple: it’s achievement_unlock_all . Easy huh?
Enjoy your weapons!

No commentsAT&T to Cut the Price of the iPhone

AT&T is planning the cut the price of the iPhone by a possible $200 when they release the 3G iPhone this summer. This will bring it down to a merely $199 for customers who sign a 2-year contract.
Apple is planning on releasing an 8GB drive and a 16GB drive, costing $399, and $499 respectively.
Since average iPhone users generate about $100 dollars, AT&T will easily gain all of it’s money back. However, AT&T doesn’t get to keep all of it, because they have to pay Apple 9% to 25% of what the users pay each month.
A few weeks before it comes out, Apple will stop shipments on the old iPhone to build up hype for the new one. This is said to be around June 27 or so.
There’s also two things new with the iPhone:
The new iPhone will be 2.5 mm thinner than the 11.7 mm original. The iPhone will also have a GPS chip for navigation and other location-based services.

No commentsGrand Theft UPS
Ironically, some UPS workers have stolen a few of the GTA IV games. In one day, three people have been fired and more to be interviewed.
This doesn’t happen often to when big games are coming out, but this is a different time, and a really big game.
For someone to risk their job in such a fashion where it’s extremely easy to get caught.
I never played GTA, to be honest, but if the game is so good that you’re risking your job for it, then I must play this game.
A source told Ars:
“It’s kind of funny, isn’t it? It’s a game about theft, and people are stealing it.” His eyes began to shine as he said, “and I get to terminate them.”
That is pretty funny. It’s like stealing candy from a baby, but then getting caught. Sorry, that joke sucks.

No commentsuTorrent Marked as Trojan by Avast Antivirus

This is what a lot of people saw one day when they opened uTorrent.
As all of you should know, uTorrent does NOT have any trojans, viruses etc. If it did, I wouldn’t recommend this fine program.
This problem was fixed by Avast, however, within five hours.
Related to this, there was an exploit in the WebUI system of uTorrent which would allow people to break in and randomly download things onto somebody else’s computer.
Think about it: coming home from a long day at the office to find someone has downloaded a lot of gay porn on your computer. I bet the wife isn’t happy about that!

No commentsDigiJuke is a Media Pirate’s Best Friend

What is DigiJuke? It’s what the titles says it is: Your Best Friend! Yay!
What does it do? Well, it can download videos (movies, music videos, etc) and converts them into something that can go on your 360, PSP and other household goodies.
However, I don’t think it’ll be quite your best friend yet. I think it could only be your best friend if it can remotely download content from any source and convert it to anything else. It would also be good to throw in something like a DVD burner.
But that’s just me. It would, however, be a good friend of mine for the time being.

No commentsPlay Japanese Famicom Games on…an NES Cartridge?

That’s right, you can play Famicom games on this thing.
Joystiq says that:
“All the pieces are there, believe it or not, including A/V outputs, a svelte power switch, and two controller ports sticking out at the bottom of the cartridge.”
If I was to get this, I wouldn’t post on this website again (too much video games!).

No commentsDCTF Shirts!

That’s right! I’m working on DCTF shirts!
Currently, I’m just doing this solo with the help of T-Shirt transfers. I’m still working on the design a little bit, and plan on making custom DCTF shirts for others.
I won’t really be able to sell them online as of now, but I hope to do so in the future.
