Do you play games 99% of the time you are awake?
Do you need a place to keep all your controllers?
Do you have $379 burning a hole in your pocket?
If you said yes to any of the above questions then this desk is for you.
It has 3 shelves enough space for 3 21inch monitors and every game accessory that you could need. Now I personally would not have a steering wheel and flight controls and all that. Ide just have laptops keyboards piled up on those shelves

So Most People Should know that Tracker is practically obsessed with all things Eee. And lucky for him Asus is determined to milk the crap out of the Eee Brand. Did any one here about there huge list of new models? Well On top of that the new Asus Eee Box- Basically is like a tiny desktop -Which was officially available yesterday. However Wanted to wait until I was sure there wouldn’t be any delays. So the question might be ” Is TMS getting a Eee Box?” Well Probably not at a $350.00 Price tag that’s for sure. Hell for a little bit more I could overhaul my main desktop and have a machine that could crush that lil’cutesy looking “Box”. Although if I was in need of a computer to do say… only internet tasks? and I was in a tight position with money like most people then hey this could be the answer to their prayers. Usually I [Dark] and Tracker need more power, and there are loads of times where I wish Trackers Eee PC could be more powerful so he could help me with things when he isnt around. But the Eee PC is portable, this “Box” is not. So good? bad? Well its up to two things.
1. Do you really need it?
2. Is your wallet big enough?

Well my last post about changes were mostly function changes. Now we have gotten into the visiual changes.
You may or may not have noticed that the entire network of sites (forums downloads and blog) have been changed to match a little better as well as be custom to suit the style that I [Tracker] like. As of now the only visiual thing that needs to be changed is the headder on the downloads section. [DARK WAKE UP!!!!]
In any event that is done and now I will be making more improvements. Like possibly offering free webhosting in exchange for active members on the forums. Possibly some other fun stuff that will take place. No I wont give you any major hints..yet 
But comment here and tell us what you think about the new layouts. And maybe even some new stuff that we could do to improve the site.
Oh ya and more mods are coming soon. Just bought something that will assist me in doing this

I am rich is a iPhone app that does nothing more than display a glowing red gem on your iphone screen. Aparently as a status symbol. (wait what? $999.99 for a animated gif image basically?)
Well I seen this on twitter a couple days ago and thought ‘who would be dumb enough to click buy app’. Well a iphone user known by Lee5279xx has answerd that for me.
Lee5279xx says “I clicked buy, thinking it was a joke, to see what happened. I forgot my wife had ‘iclick’ activated on my laptop and it really bought this app for $999.”
By “iclick” I assume the 1 click purchase thing apple junkies use so they don’t see the “Are you sure you want to buy this useless program” screen This was however ment for cheap stuff like songs not $1000 animated status symbols.
Since his major brain fart the app has been removed from the iTunes store. Hopefully crediting the poor noob(s) who bought it.
Here is an added bonus for you.
Anyone want to give this guy a ticket on the Failbus?

If you ask me this just sounds kind of funny
An American death row inmate claims he’s too fat for execution.
With a lawsuit filed in federal court on Friday, the Associated Press reports, attorneys for the 5-feet-7-inch, 267-pound Richard Cooey say the executioner’s needle would have trouble finding his veins. And even if it did find his veins, they insist, his heft would lessen the effect of the needle’s initial lethal injection drug – an anesthetic meant to dull the pain.
So what? Let it be painful I am sure that it was painful what he did to the women when he killed them
“All of the experts agree if the first drug doesn’t work, the execution is going to be excruciating,” Cooey’s lawyer Kelly Culshaw Schneider told The AP.
The suit says that Cooey is taking medication for migraine headaches. Considering his beefiness, lawyers argue, this medication could neutralize the anesthetic, and that means Cooey would be less than asleep when executioners administer the two other lethal injection drugs – which are actually lethal.
Once again who cares? He killed 2 people why make it easy on him?
Richard Cooey was sentenced to death for raping and murdering two women in 1986. If he’s not too fat, he will face execution on October 14. He was originally scheduled for execution in 2003, when he wasn’t as fat, but he received one of those last minute reprieves.
Oh just get it over with!
Yes I do realize this is a tech blog but I could not pass up posting this one.

If you have not been following the whole Psystar deal then you need to get out from under your rock.
In short Psystar was installing apple software on non apple hardware. Much like I did with my old p4 sitting next to me. Anyone can do it. But they marketed this and apple decided that they did not like it. (We knew that was coming)
Well as I was checking my rss reader I came across a post. Psystar is fighting back stating antitrust laws are being violated
Via Techdirt
Once “unauthorized” Apple clone maker, Psystar, was sued by Apple, we fully expected it to challenge the legality of Apple’s EULA (end user license agreement) which forbade putting the software on non-Apple hardware (a provision that even Apple has been known to ignore). The comments to our post suggested that a more likely option would be for Psystar to claim that Apple was violating antitrust laws in requiring the software and hardware be bundled that way.
Indeed, it looks like both of those predictions were correct. Psystar’s response is likely to focus on both the legality of the EULA and whether or not Apple violated antitrust law. As predicted, this case may be very interesting to watch — and the end result could be very important for many other companies in the tech space.
It will be quite interesting to see how this works out.
Now who has the popcorn and nachos?

Myself [Tracker] and Dark are working on the website. Changing themes and editing them and all of that good stuff. While we are doing this you might notice the site will change as you refresh. This is because we dont feel like creating a dev area for the work to take place on so we will just do it on the main site .
If you see any errors for now please dont worry just refresh a few times and chances are they will be gone.
Thanks 
[update] The blog is done…will be moving onto the other sections later

Ok so I leave to go have a nice dinner at my aunts house on Wednesday. When I left my internet was working fine. I come home to no internet. No phone. No nothing. Now because I live out in the middle of no where I get no cell phone service either. So I get in the car and drive up the road to call them and see what the hell is going on. I spend 30 minutes on hold and finally get through to someone. (keep in mind this is at about 10pm). They tell me the service has been disconnected because of non payment. Ok no big deal I will just pay it. At this point I was informed that the office for that was closed and they do not have a automated system. WTF? Minor set back what ever right? So Thursday comes around and I call them up first thing in the morning. They inform me that the bill is $190…HUH? $40~ for the internet and $35~ for the phone (estimated I don’t know the exact price but its right in that range). That does not come even close to $190.
At this point I was to pissed off to deal with them any more so I let my step dad take care of it. So he calls them a few hours later and the account is closed. Once again WTF? So we go through the whole process of re-opening the account that takes 45min. They tell him that the service will be active on Monday. I find that unacceptable. So I call back. Called the wrong place so they transferred me. I sat on hold for 30min and when someone picked up the phone they said that I had been transferred to the wrong department. And the department I needed was closed. They had closed 16min ago. That pissed me off alone so I just hung up on them.
I called back first thing Friday morning. The first person I talked to said they would transfer me to someone who could help me. This person said nothing could be done so I asked to be transferred to a supervisor. They hung up on me. So being as persistent that I am I called back. This time after sitting on hold for 15min I got through to someone I forgot her name now but she was very helpful. I explained what was going on and she said that she would have it setup and going by midnight Friday. Well I was sitting on my computer watching some TV (yes I watch my tv on the computer because of the DVR ) and had my firefox open to the modem connection status page. And at 12:06am it refreshed and was connected. So yay they did what they said they would do.
But I am not done with my story yet…
Turns out they gave us the wrong package. Instead of setting up the 3.0mb service they set up the 1.5mb service. So they messed up…again. So I am not able to use my favorite site (pandora.com) or watch youtube videos. Looks like I have to call customer service on Monday. Wish me luck.
Tracker – Unhappy AT&T customer
p.s. Anyone know the corporate address/number so I can send them some strongly worded letters? And call them to complain?
