RAM Needed!
Most computers today are equipped with 512 MB or 1 GB of memory. While a gigabyte still seems to be fairly enough, we predict that 2 GB will be the reasonable minimum for those who want to do more than just occasional gaming or browsing [...]

Oscar Watch: Moving Howl to America
Interesting post on the Disney distribution of Studio Ghibli’s films. I love Miyazaki’s works, and I’m very happy that they’re a lot easier to find in the U.S. now due to Disney’s distribution. The strong female characters in his films are a great inspiration for my daughter.

AnandTech: Inside Newegg: They give us a Tour and you a Prize
I really love Newegg because of its customer reviews. When you’re spending a lot on a mobo or videocard, it’s nice to know how a specific model is working for other people.

PRESS (E) - MAXON’s CINEMA 4DNow Available For Intel-Based Macs
