			<title>Gizmodo Frankenreviews Vista</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/11129/Gizmodo-Frankenreviews-Vista/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Since ancient man painted his stories of mammoth slaying and female conquest on the cave walls, he has been looking for a more efficient interface of documentation and communication. In short, he needed a better OS than his dried fecal matter on sandstone could provide him.

Some will tell you that Windows Vista has been 5 years in the making. In light of recent forced analogy, the timeline should start at a more reasonable 7 million years. Hit the jump for the Frankenreview - the one review you need to read about Microsoft's new OS, because it's assembled from the important ramblings of ...]]></description>

			<title> Brian Axe From Google Adsense On Net Income</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/11127/-Brian-Axe-From-Google-Adsense-On-Net-Income/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Brian was REALLY awesome to have on the show. I give Google a LOT of props for coming on a live show like mine where we take calls and also questions live from the chat room. I also did not provide any questions ahead of time to Brian. This may not seem like a big deal to most people reading this but I can tell you about 65% of the companies who wanted to come on my show later declined because I refused to do a pre-recorded show for them. I want to do live shows with live callers and questions. Anyway I just wanted to say that it was super cool Google came on for a live show.

			<title>Guide to Painting Steel, Aluminum, Plastic, and Acrylic</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/11126/Guide-to-Painting-Steel-Aluminum-Plastic-and-Acrylic/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[This guide will cover prepping and painting of steel, aluminum, plastic, and acrylic plus more. I'm sure some people will think some of the steps are not necessary and quite extensive compared to some guides. Yes, this may be true but I am writing this guide to help get a quality finish from your case, not something that looks like the neighbor painted in his homemade cardboard paint booth with a 99 cent can of paint from the dollar store.

Before getting to the main parts I will sum up a few questions that are typically asked as well as general items will be needed. If there is any quest...]]></description>

			<title>Florida Hates Voting, Quakes in Fear</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/11124/Florida-Hates-Voting-Quakes-in-Fear/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[In response to intense criticism over the 2000 race -- when a recount dispute focusing Florida's "hanging chads" and inscrutable ballots was resolved by the Supreme Court -- election supervisors in 15 counties spent millions on touch-screen technology, which itself has come under fire.

The machines allow voters to cast their ballot by touching their choices on a video screen. But they provide no paper backup, a safety feature that critics say would help guard against fraud and bolster voter confidence.

			<title>The Shack Interviews Stranglehold Developer Brian Eddy</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/11123/The-Shack-Interviews-Stranglehold-Developer-Brian-Eddy/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Interactivity is a major buzzword in today's gaming world. Uncountable numbers of games for almost any platform you can think of claim to provide environments that can be shot up, ripped apart, climbed on, molded to the player's liking, and so forth. It's a great idea in theory, but in concept, I haven't played many that have really delivered. Most of this interactivity seems to be accomplished in cleverly scripted events; while I find many such moments enjoyable, I can only shoot so many more glass bottles and pass that off as "interactivity."

Enter Stranglehold, an upcoming action game...]]></description>

			<title>Kernel developers offer free Linux driver development</title>

			<description><![CDATA[Drivers created by the kernel developers at the request of hardware vendors will be included in the Linux kernel source tree so that they are included in mainstream Linux distributions and made available to end users. According to Kroah-Hartman, the offer is available for all sorts of hardware ranging "from USB toys to PCI video devices to high-speed networking cards."

In order to take advantage of this service, developers need only send specifications to the kernel development community and provide contact information for an engineer. The kernel developers are even willing to develop dr...]]></description>

			<title>Holland Considers Banning DRM, Legalizing Filesharing</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/11117/Holland-Considers-Banning-DRM-Legalizing-Filesharing/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The statements (Dutch source) from these leading politicians basically say that piracy should be condoned, as long as Internet traffic is taxed. Although the (hypothetical) model might sound appealing to some, it is not very practical. First of all, illegal music downloads are just a small percentage of all files that are swapped illegally. What about movies and software, will those companies be compensated too? And an ever bigger problem, these politicians seem to assume that all internet traffic is generated by illegal downloads. What about sites like YouTube, or software, music and video...]]></description>

			<title>eBay's Got a KITT Replica!</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/11114/eBays-Got-a-KITT-Replica/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[This is not the original car that David Hasselhoff drove around in and William Daniels provided the voice for, but it is a 1984 Pontiac Trans Am.



In some ways, that's a good thing. The KITT replica on eBay has a CD/MP3/DVD player installed, where the original probably only had a tape deck, if that.

The starting bid for the car is $19,000. That's much cheaper than other famous vehicles like the original Ecto 1 from Ghostbusters, or one of Steve McQueen's personal motorcycles.

The auction ends Wednesday and is only available to local bidders or those willing to pick up the car. T...]]></description>

			<title>AMD Sells a Few More PC Processors, a Few Less Server Processors</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/11113/AMD-Sells-a-Few-More-PC-Processors-a-Few-Less-Server-Processors/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Overall, AMD continued its gain in the x86 processor market, said Mercury Research analyst Dean McCarron. The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company had 25.3 percent of chip shipments in the fourth quarter of 2006, an increase from 23.3 percent from the year-earlier quarter and the highest number in its history.

Intel, based nearby in Santa Clara, Calif., dropped from 76.0 percent to 74.4 percent over the same period, McCarron said.

AMD's gains didn't mean a financial windfall, though. The company's average server chip prices dropped, contributing to AMD's financially difficult quarter. Acco...]]></description>

			<title>Windows Vista's new spin on licensing... and Why it Grates</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/11111/Windows-Vistas-new-spin-on-licensing-and-Why-it-Grates/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[WE'VE HEARD ALL MANNER of tinfoil hattery about Windows Vista's schemes for copy protection, which have prompted the usual round of threats from the usual quarters about how Vista will usher in an OS apocalypse and techies will migrate en masse to Linux. The more realistic types are mostly talking about simply staying camped out with Windows XP for the time being while eying the MacOS world with some curiosity. I'm not onboard with the more paranoid visions of the Vista future, but I do think the uneasiness about Microsoft's plans for Vista has some warrant.

Part of the problem is that M...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Ok, so here's how this thing works. We'll compare XP and Vista on a feature-by-feature basis; we're not going to judge the merit of these features or whether they'll be more useful to you and your pals, nor are we going to get into the nitty gritty about what they do -- there are just too many -- but we will tell you whether or not we think there's anything better going on in Vista than there was before in XP. So...

			<description><![CDATA["The game that started it all is about to start again." So begins Aaron Cohen, producer of Electronic Arts upcoming update to the granddaddy of all MMOs, Ultima Online. The venerable brand has been around for ten years and in that time it's seen seven new expansions but not a single true sequel. Next spring Ultima Online: Kingdom Reborn will change all that...sort of.

Though KIngdom Reborn represents EA's most significant investment in Ultima Online since the title's original launch, the new update isn't so much a new instance of Ultima Online as it is a comprehensive upgrade of the exis...]]></description>
