  • Negotiations Under Way for Seat on Russian Space Shuttle - Pepsi-Cola Co. is negotiating a deal for what could be one of the highest-profile promotions in marketing history: an unprecedented $35 million program that would award the winner a ticket to ride on the Russian Soyuz space shuttle. Should it reach agreement on buying a seat on the rocket, the soft-drink giant would back the program with a powerhouse marketing budget. Among its plans: a reality TV show with contestants competing to win a trip to space. Executives working on Pepsi-Cola's behalf are fashioning a program around the concept and are negotiating with at least one undisclosed network, according to a person familiar with the situation.

  • Atari Jaguar Interview  - Toxic Mag has posted an interview with John Mathieson, creator of the short-lived Atari Jaguar 64-bit game system - the system we can thank for such awesome games as the original Alien vs. Predator, Iron Soldier, and the gorgeously psychedelic Tempest 2000.
  • Razer Boomslang 2000dpi Review - The first thing you notice with this mouse is its sheer size and shape. The Razer is much flatter or lower than current mice out on the market. This makes long gaming periods more "natural" feeling and reduces tension on the wrist. Once you have it in your hand you will notice its weight. The Boomslang weighs much more than current popular mouse. Most likely because of it's "old school" track ball. Some say that the Razer Boomslang actually reminds them of, *bites tongue*, a Star Trek phaser.
  • Quadband DDR Article - Currently, DDR SDRAM cannot keep pace with the demands of these new CPU's and high performance system components.

  • WinXP + SP1 = 56% CPU Usage @ Idle?  - Shortly after installing SP1 on WinXP Pro I noticed a few games were running a bit choppier, also a slight keyboard lag. I checked my CPU Usage and sure enough, 56% and my computer was idle. I did some service tweaks, and no help. I noticed my IDE HDD Controller reverted back to a MS version. Previously I had the Via 4-1 Controlling this. I reinstalled the 4.43 4in1's manually. Removed the SB Audigy Drivers (suspected component) and updated my Nvidia Drivers (Surely not related to the problem) And now my cpu usage is back below 5% when idle.
