CES 2008 Hall of Shame

Romana Reynolds writes "The CES 2008 Innovations Design and Engineering Awards Showcase honored the Atom Chip Corporation, which was exhibiting the same 100GB, 500GB, and 1TB 'quantum optical' memory chips back in 2006. We actually wandered by, but long gone are the 'SolarMemory' chips, and he didn't know anything about Duke Nuk'em Forever. A little easy digging shows that they'd been making the same extraordinary claims and exhibiting prototypes at CES during the past three years, long enough to make 'atom chip hoax' the fourth suggestion on typing 'atom chip' into Google. I'm amused that the 'preeminent' panel of judges failed their vetting and gatekeeping functions. But I fear that Atom Chip will gather investors based on their recognition at CES, and continue in the game for many years to come, while honors at CES become a Hall of Shame."

Duke Nukem Forever Beta

[ajs318]

A beta version of Duke Nukem Forever is actually available for download >em>right now, from this address. The file is a bootable .iso CD image. Burn it to a CD (be sure to choose the right option: you want to make a CD from an ISO image, not a CD with just one file on it ..... that won't work), then reboot your computer with the disc in the drive. At the boot prompt which appears, type "autonuke" (without the quotes) to automatically start a game of Duke Nukem Forever.

Please remember this is beta test software and all features may not be complete.
