Like any other sub-30 geek, I’ve had my fun with the Duke Nukem series. From its humble side-scrolling platformer beginnings, up until Duke Nukem 3D, the franchise made sure I never considered Bruce Campbell the originator of “come get some” until much later. I missed out on Duke Nukem Forever’s announcement however, with the legendary game-that-never-was only entering my consciousness once it became fashionable to mock it’s eternally-delayed production

As a life-long Windows user, with a smattering of System 9 and OS X experience, the following table is so true: For those who can’t get the symbolism presented (or for those who see the world with their five other senses, and thus need text for their parser to interpret) here’s a boring text-only version: Linux Windows Mac As seen by… Boring plain vanilla workstation Blue Screen of Death Awesome multi-display workstation Mac Fanboys Hard-to-understand terminal Awesome multi-display workstation A toy for kids, with limited capability Windows Fanboys A laptop that’s literally the center of the universe Microsoft screwing Windows users over Steve Jobs holding up a wad of cash Linux Fanboys What do you think?

Andrew McDonald , perhaps known as the writer of The Greatest Blogger in the World, recently came up with a fool-proof plan to get his camera back—just in case he ends up losing it to theft or carelessness. The author will simply leave a series of pictures on his camera, never deleting them. A masterful mix of actor-worthy facial expressions and witty copy on a portable whiteboard entertains whoever finds the camera with a bit of over-share, before finally instructing them how to return the gadget

Yesterday saw the release of the OCZ Colossus, a new high-performance SSD line with capacities of 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. If you’ve considered tapping the speed benefits of solid state disks for your PC (SSDs are basically high-capacity thumb drives plugged directly into a desktop or laptop motherboard), but always found the current capacities a limitation, salvation is here! The OCZ Colossus uses the standard 3.5″ SATA chassis, meaning it’s an easy plug-in for contemporary desktops

Check this out: a YouTube vid demoing the NES-friendly “de-make” of Left 4 Dead, featuring a soundtrack, graphics, and gameplay well-suited to the 2d console-ness that was the 80s! While only the Boomer made an appearance in the demo above (and is actually tougher than your typical infected, compared to the original), creator Eric Ruth assures us that the finished product, to be made available for free this January 4, 2010, will be more complete. Q & A detailing the game below! Q: Is this just an animation or an actual game? A: An actual game

The Ace Attorney series is a notable example of the overwrought emotionalism and character movements that characterize Japanese narrative culture. Play an Ace Attorney game and you encounter a tremendously surreal court system where legal arguments become epic , backed up by just-in-time realizations pieced together from obvious fragments of evidence. My first encounter with this legal adventure game series saw me take on the role of Phoenix Wright, and I was a rookie defending attorney who became a master of cross examination

Seems Verizon has been the target of NYT Personal Tech columnist David Pogue for some time now. Aside from not heeding Pogue’s call to eliminate unnecessary voicemail instructions , the operator seems hellbent on charging its customers for data usage—to the point that one of its employees has actually blown the whistle. First, Verizon redesigns the phone’s interfaces to make it easier for users to accidentally access the operator’s data services: Here’s how it works

At the risk of playing Captain Obvious here—it’s easy to see why people would want to go online for more information after big events—I’ll conclude that feltron’s research into CNN.com’s traffic over the last 13 years is proof that historic events drive pageviews and unique visits. At least that’s true if you’re a well-known baseline news source like CNN. Feltron’s graph below, aside from plotting the site traffic’s steady rise, also points out the 10 busiest weeks, shows how much of the traffic each part of the site enjoys, and marks important events in recent (American) history

You most likely use plug splitters to plug your entire gadget arsenal into one wall socket anyway, so let’s hope Rozetkus gets around to mass-producing its 3-month old 3D power socket design, which basically calls for five sockets to compact into one when not needed. Simple mechanics, simple engineering, maximum usability. Pull the whole assembly out of the wall to reveal four hidden sockets, push it back in when you only need to power one gadget.

As manufacturers constantly come out with new hardware, the answer to the question “what is the best graphic card for my money?” also changes. I don’t have the time to do the research and check out the specs, and that’s why I’m thankful Tom’s Hardware takes care of that for me, through the website’s Best Graphics Cards for the Money series. Like previous editions, the November 2009 issue simply lists the best graphics card(s) for a particular price point, and explains why it is so

Here’s a rare find from the recently concluded Tokyo Game Show 2009: Wet Ones in a black packet, with the Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising logo the only thing keeping the disinfectant wipes from leaving the packaging. Click a thumbnail to zoom in. Possibly the result of a strategic alliance between Playtex and Codemasters (the makers of the wipes and the game respectively), are these OF:DR wipes symbolic of anything

Looks like Sony’s really pushing the Cyber-shot TX1 , the new flagship of its “ultra-thin” compact series. Or at least they’re doing so in Asia, complete with the “Love the Night” tag line and “Lucky in Love” contest , both attempts to highlight the camera’s low-light and panorama shot abilities. “Lucky in Love” mainly involves a Flash-game where players have to drag and rotate a series of photos to create a panoramic shot

If you’ve heard about the LG Crystal, billed as the world’s first transparent phone, and you’re up to reading a marketing-oriented interview about the phone’s design, here’s a Q&A with Youngho Kim, LG’s VP of design. But before we get to it: We already know the phone looks good LG, how about showing us why we should get the phone, other than looks? Your phones have always looked good LG, and that’s why you’ve managed to overtake Motorola in worldwide phone shipments a couple of years ago
