Ever wonder what it's like to ride along one one of Germany's famed race tracks? Wonder no more as Sebastiaan Bleekemolen takes us for a ride-along in a 911 GT3. It's a really cool video, and about as close as you're likely to get to a real life Forza Motorsport.
Linux Sucks! Video from LinuxFest
by Michael Baumert on May 4, 2009 11:03 PM
Here's a Video from LinuxFest NW which attempts to dissect precisely what's wrong with everyone's favorite OS in real, tangible terms. It's an interesting discussion made even more interesting by the fact that the projector won't hook up with the laptop initially (Linux has notoriously poor video driver support). All in all it's not bashing the OS, but rather a call to action. Apple needs one of these.

The 2009 FIA GT Championship just started with some style over the weekend at Silverstone. As Autoblog points out this BMW M-powered Wiesmann GT was up at the front of the pack. This is definitely one hell of an awesome-looking car... but is it better looking than the Alpha 8C?

by Michael Baumert on May 2, 2009 10:08 AM
Here's a sneak peek at a new Wii title known as "Feel". It's being overseen by Takahashi Shimizu, the director who helped to popularized J-horror with his work on "The Grudge".
