Posted: 11 Jul 2011 04:44 PM PDT

Hey, remember when Microsoft was primarily a desktop OS company? Well, by the looks of it and despite the attention-grabbing headlines about Xboxes and mobile OS shenanigans, it still is. Either that, or Excel was on the fritz when it added up those 400 million Windows 7 copies and 100 million Office 2010 copies. All of this with a Windows 8 public beta set to make an appearance at CES 2012 and take the ARM world by storm.

Apple Looking For New iPad Manufacturer Besides Foxconn?

Posted: 11 Jul 2011 04:18 PM PDT

It wasn’t worker suicides and labour camp-like conditions at Foxconn that finally convinced Apple to go knocking around for a new supplier, it was that explosion at one of the plants we told you about some weeks ago.

EVE Makers To Sell In-Game “$10,000 gold-coloured scorpions”

Posted: 11 Jul 2011 02:45 PM PDT

Settle down now, it was a joke by CCP senior producer Arnar Gylfason. Mostly. We hope. It’s hard to really say what with previous CCP stunts like $70 in-game monocles. And even though banging up a golden scorpion in 3DS Max would probably take all of thirty minutes for any self-respecting artist on staff at CCP, we’re pretty sure CCP isn’t doing this just because it can.
