  • Kasparov Defeats Deep Junior in Game 1 - World chess champion Garry Kasparov defeated computerized challenger Deep Junior on Sunday in the first of six games pitting human wit against computer logic.

  • Can your cell phone impair your vision?  - New research from the University of Utah has revealed a potentially lethal "tunnel vision" that drivers get while talking on a cell phone.  Researchers found that drivers using cell phones, even hands-free devices, aren't processing peripheral vision well. The scientists studied twenty volunteers who used a driving simulator to experience all sorts of distractions, from cars suddenly swerving to a stoplight changing. In one test, a driver on a phone and one focused solely on the road were shown the same series of billboards. The driver not yakking remembered seeing 50 percent more billboards than the driver on the phone, the study found. Associate professor David Strayer said this is "inattention blindness," an impairment that slows reaction time by 20 percent and made some drive-and-dial practitioners miss half the red lights they were suddenly presented with in some simulations.

  • Blanket hack muffles RIAA site again - Hackers have once again disabled the Web site of the Recording Industry Association of America, a group of record labels that is leading the charge in the crackdown on online music piracy. The attack, which began Friday, has caused the site to be unavailable for three days, an RIAA representative confirmed Monday. It follows several other malicious attacks on the site last summer.  "How pathetic that those who want free music don't believe in free speech," RIAA spokeswoman Amy Weiss said in a statement. "We will continue to fight theft on the Internet and work hard to make sure that songwriters, artists and other copyright holders continue to get paid for their work."

PC gaming is not for you. $1000 is pretty much the absolute minimum for a budget gaming rig, because any lower than that and you'll be upgrading very soon. And then it just adds back up to $1000 or more. So let's get cracking!
