1. Comment - Dell denies it's phasing out its XPS systems early

   And which mainline business pc's are not built to that spec? When you buy 1000's of PCs, you don't care about upgrade paths. They all are leased and they all get given away at the end of 3 years. The cost of maintaining the platform - the software - is the killer on Windows PC's.

2. Comment - Sony to expand 'transaction-based game play'

   A guy i worked with quit his job and went straight Everquest. Apparently he made good money selling virtual goodies. I would have been a millionaire if this was out in the days of Bard's Tale and Seven Cities of Gold on the old C-64!

3. Comment - OpenOffice 3.0 beta natively supports Mac OS X

   Sometimes, you get what you pay for. iWork is a tidy little package that confuses me less than any other office package. These folks should try do OpenOffice-Lite for those that would prefer a 25 column spreadsheet, that, you know - worked. Not that I don't love the endless march of progress... but I like my applications to get... better with age.
   
   Nowadays, a new version of Office or whatever is just 100 more features you never use and 20 features you used to use all screwed up. That said, less than $200 for the 'home and student' version does give you a decent value...
   
   Bring back Lotus 1-2-3! Or Quattro... that was a gooder. Best use of the / key ever.

5. Comment - Id Software announces the coming of Doom 4

   Announcing that you are looking for someone to code a new game isn't really announcing anything is it? Where I live, they call it a help-wanted ad, or a job-posting. The product announcement comes after, well you know, you have a product...
   
   Doom was one of the original fun PC games though, that's for sure.
