Valve brings Steam to OSX - This announcement is huge - One of the main arguments in the OSX vs PC debate just got hit out of the park - with the ability for cross platform/ cloud-based save game files and games purchased on one platform transferable to the other, as well as simultaneous title releases, this is a huge notch in the belt for apple/valve.
True, the hardcore legions of gamers who MUST have the latest graphics cards wont be swayed and the premium cost of macs will probably still influence the choice of system in netcafe’s. But to the casual gamer like me, this is great news.

It’s on like Donkey Kong.

HTC has been accused of infringing 20 patents owned by Apple that are used in the iPhone.

Apple said the patent infringements covered technology used in the iPhone interface as well as its “underlying hardware and architecture.”

HTC makes phones for many firms including Google and was behind the Nexus One handset.

In a statement Apple boss Steve Jobs said: “We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it.

“We’ve decided to do something about it,” he said. “We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours.” (via BBC News - Apple sues HTC over phone patents)

THIS IS BAD GUISE I CAN BARELY TELL THEM APART!!!

New Music Video! Gorillaz (Feat. Mos Def & Bobby Womack) - “Stylo”

First single off the band’s upcoming studio LP, Plastic Beach — in stores March 9th (or stream the whole thing right now via NPR).

[illroots.]

Yeah, I really love every aspect of Gorillaz - not many bands I can say that about. Roll on plastic beach.

edit: Stream the full album here… Is that snoop I hear on the first track?

Ken - Wake City (relived by JOHANNES STANKOWSKI)

This song is wonderful - currently on constant repeat, and yes, slightly folksy — but whimsical as hell. Thanks Lisa

Time Machine Troubles

So I have this problem where my time machine backup drive will occasionally unmount itself and time machine will just sit there for days on end without backing itself up, until I finally notice and reboot the external drive.

It strikes me as odd that there is no warning dialog , no exclamation icon in the menu bar, nothing. After 12 days or so, sometimes, Time Machine will finally twig onto the fact that it hasn’t run in a while and display an alert, but this is very inconsistent and god forbid that my computer fucks itself in the meantime. Is this problem specific only to my machine - or a pretty widespread issue?

Finish or add to my ‘badass’ playlist:

I’m attempting to put together a collection of sublimely aggressive songs - you know the sort with a solid beat that just grittily ooze ‘bad ass’. Anyway here’s what we have so far:

TV on The Radio - DLZ
Butthole Surfers - Whatever (I had a dream)
Deftones - RX Queen
Depeche Mode - I Feel You
Gnarls Barkley - Necromancer
The Streets - Blinded By The Lights (Nero Remix)
The Subs - Breathe

Help Please?
