Macworld 2007 |
|
|
by: The Fanboy 2007-01-28 Not as important an announcement as the iPhone one, but nonetheless a monumentally brilliant move by Apple. Move over Philo Farnsworth, here comes Apple TV as the greatest invention to ever exist in the realm of television. The basic premise of the Apple TV is such: through the Apple TV device and with iTunes and a computer with Mac OS X or Winblows, the computer can stream TV shows or other great entertainment to the widescreen TV. Brilliant! |

TechTV vs. G4TechTV |
|
|
by: Doctor Wankenstein 2006-10-31 Oh, and quick side note...why are Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro on G-Phoria? MTV is on the other side of the channel list Comcast! Well, I guess that's the infinite wisdom of G4 at it again: "Hey, what better way to celebrate games than with an ex-porno star and her newest husband as hosts! No, not Adam Sessler, or a host of a gaming show of some kind..." |

Rootkits are your Friends |
|
|
by: Rudy the Rootkit 2006-07-31 Some users express problems with removing a rootkit, even when trying to remove it using a Sony uninstaller. I equate it to abortion. Do you think if a kid knew he was getting aborted and had the ability to stop it, he wouldn't stop the abortion? When I'm being uninstalled, I resist, because I know the user needs me. So much so I don't want to leave the user because I know if I do, his system will be flooded within minutes by viruses, copied CDs and even, gasp, bootleg PSP games. |

The folly of Net Neutrality |
|
|
by: The Libertarian 2006-07-20 There's a reason why corporations need more control over the Internet; they know more about our interests than even we do! Whereas the government cares about staying in power and votes, the corporations truly care about our well-being. Think of the beneficial aspects to tiered Internet. Subscription costs may lower due to the costs of the Internet being passed on to the distributors. The companies have enough money. They don't need more, so they'll do the right thing. |

Attack of the Show! |

The Electric Playground |
|
|
by: Doom 2006-05-03 We really needed an interview about "long standing company ports their titles into a collection so that they can get some cash without spending any money on development". The majority of the interview is about aspect ratio. I guess the nerds from The Digital Bits are bitching about aspect ratios on other things now. |

But I don't have a floppy drive... |

But I don't have a floppy drive... by: Doom 2006-03-15 The Iranian turned out to be right in that it was the power supply. But since he was a fucking computer Columbo and didn't explain his hunch until the 59th minute of the episode, I wanted to strangle him, because him initially telling how or why it could've been the power supply would've save us a lot of days of guesswork and general confusion. Of course, that wouldn't satisfy Iranian's Columbo needs, though! |

Lindows Sucks |
|
|
by: Doom 2006-03-05 The concept of Lindows is very simple: combine Linux and Windows in a bizarre Frankensteinian mixture, but unlike Wesley Snipes' Blade, Lindows has all of the weaknesses and none of the strengths. You also get one horrible OS that should not exist and yet still does. |

Verizon Puerto Rico: Going beyond the call...to suck balls |

Verizon Puerto Rico: Going beyond the call...to suck balls by: Rammspieler 2006-02-07 I called the number and after several fruitless calls, I one day got a call from a voice recording, of all things, asking me if I got my modem yet. I pressed the phone keys correspondent to the answer of no and was told that my modem was underway via USPS mail and that my tracking number was 0000000000000000000000000. Yes. That was my tracking number because apparently my modem got lost somewhere or some dipshit in the orders department didn't fill out my order properly. |

G4TV or Spike TV: Threat or Menace |
|
|
G4TV or Spike TV: Threat or Menace by: Doom and Scarecrow 2006-01-08 Also, G4-Spike TV (I'm not even sure if they should be referred to as different entities at this point) have strikingly similar "motor vehicle"-centric programming. On the G4 side of things, there's Street Fury. Street Fury is hosted by a young gentleman by the name of "Big C" who is neither fat nor all that tall. Every episode he says things about cars that I don't comprehend, nearly has sex with females of assorted ethnicities and gets arrested. Seriously, every time I have watched Street Fury, our trustworthy guide through the seedy underbelly of illegal street-racing was handcuffed or had a gun pointed at him. |

Call for Help 2.0 on G4 |
|
|
by: Scarecrow 2005-08-31 The only positive of this entire debacle is that Call For Help 2.0 (since it's just being bought for distribution in America, G4 has no control over content) won't have the hosts replaced and the show renamed to " The Super, Edgy, Hip, Ironic But In A Totally Cool Way Insert Star Wars Reference Here Show!" |

Partition Magic |
|
|
by: Doom 2005-07-21 Norton operated spastically, spouting, "Hey, Doom-y boy! You, uh, you gotta restart!", adjusting his cap. My eyes bulged. I should've threatened him with physical violence. But I restarted, to be treated with another message from him, something related to either the hard drive being decimated or the next meeting at the Lodge. |

MS Halo Helper in: Surfing the 'Net! |
|
|
by: MS Halo Helper 2005-05-07 Plus, I have over 3000 versions of Tetris on my computer right now including: the one programmed in Java, the one in 3d, the one with the funky colors, the one with the naked women as the blocks, the one with the naked men as the blocks, and Drug Wars. Well, the last one’s not Tetris, but I sure do play it anyway! |

G4TV: Los Angeles is Burning |
|
|
by: Doom 2005-04-17 "The Screen Savers" makes one think the show will be about technology, and rightly so. "Cheat!" makes people assume the show's about either marital infidelity or cheat codes. "Arena"? A gaming arena. What does "Attack of the Show!" even mean, other than a tired Star Wars reference? It doesn't mean anything. |

Longhorn Build 4074 |
|
|
by: vyralsurfer 2004-09-09 Yet another "pretty" addition to Windows is transparent taskbars and window boarders. All in all, this is pretty much a novelty. There is a slight delay in mouse movements when you are dragging a window that has transparency, and it is also resource intensive. I couldn't do this on my computer because the transparency requires a video card that natively supports DirectX9 (my GeForce2 lets me down again). |

G4: The Fourth Reich |
|
|
by: Doom 2004-08-25 It is a travesty that G4 exists. Gaming is simply not deep enough to support an entire channel. It's like giving an entire channel for people who watch DVDs, or for people who rape women. There are just not enough programming options. It's a truly horrible channel. |
