Tech News for: March 2, 2005

Good morning everyone! Here is your tech news for the week...
  • Scopetech
    Not really big news for the world, but for all the geeks out there in the world, Dan Huard, from The Screen Savers, has his new website up. Scopetech.net looks cool, and it feels awesome. He has columns posted on his website which deal with different items, from processors to "iPod movie"(...ahh, I wish.) Take a look.

  • Online Deals
    You know, the internet has become a huge asset to normal and geeks alike. I would like to direct you to three different websites that have great deals posted all the time, for those who want to start looking past amazon and newegg.
    • Deals on the Web - A wonderful website that has at least 10-20 deals a day. Another plus is that it is free, so no membership is necessary.
    • Slickdeals - This website is not as plentiful as Deals on the Web, but is still good to check out. Wonderful magazine subscriptions come up at times.
    • Hot Deals Club - This is different from the others as this is a paid membership. $25 dollars gets you exclusive links to deals not posted in the other two. They have a free page for deals, but the gold is in the membership. I have one, and its worth it's cost. I cannot share with you the deals, but it ranges from coupons to half-price deals. Fun!
  • 64-Bit Windows XP and Server 2003
    Starting in June, Athlon 64 owners will finally be able to unlock the processor's full potenial. Microsoft has announced that their 64-Bit edition of Windows XP and Server 2003 will be finalized in June. If you are thinking about getting a new computer, wait until June. By that time, Pentium D and Athlon 64 will be in 64-Bit country. Any day now...I'll have that 64-Bit computer, you'll see.

  • Sir Bill Gates
    In another sign that Bill Gates is going to rule the world, he has been knighted by Queen Elizabeth. Engadget is having a contest to find an appropiate caption for the newly-knighted Gates. Have fun now, because soon it will be Emperor Gates.

  • Creative vs. Apple
    And of course...Creative will drop the price of their Zen Micro to compete with the iPod mini 2G. Engadget has the details...read the comments...they're funny. In the end, which ever screws the consumer over will win. 'apple'-cough
