Re: So... (Feb 29 2008 18:24 GMT) - I don't agree with Moorcock's opinion on either CAS or Tolkien, the latter he calls the leader of an unhealthy cult in regards to the Lord of the Rings first starting to take off. I enjoy Leiber's writing a lot, to the point I can forgive him for acting in the 1970 movie Equinox. However I believe that Clark Ashton Smith was much more innovative and imaginative than Leiber and could paint a vivid picture with his prose. Actually, if there is a fantasy writer whose work I bog down on and set aside, it is Moorcock. |

Too much trust [Tim Kidson] (Feb 29 2008 18:24 GMT) - In a business world where there is maybe more need than ever for trust between people, it is a paradox to find too much 'trust' in some relationships. One MD said "Well I leave all the finance to the accountant." Another decided not to be involved in the crucial website design but to "Rely on the expert." Yet another really does not "have the time" to speak on behalf of the company. She would rather delegate that to someone in the marketing department. |

Microprose returns to show Commodore how to really tarnish a brand (Feb 29 2008 18:24 GMT) - Filed under: Gaming, Home Entertainment As if seeing the Commodore logo slapped on a whole slew of thoroughly unremarkable devices wasn't enough to make folks of a certain age feel a little wistful for their early bookkeeping days, legendary game developer Microprose is now getting in on the action as well, and seemingly outdoing Commodore to boot. As the Classic Gaming website reports, Microprose, once known as the name behind Civilization, trolley line Tycoon and other classic games, is now set to release a bundle of new lines that likely wouldn't garner a second glance if not for the brand. Those include the MPI-500 digital TV receiver and MPI-100 HDMI switch etched above, as well as a series of REDLINE cabling lines aimed at gamers, a battery pack/stand for the PSP, and the Microprose Arcade Professional PC joystick (pictured after(more) |

Microprose returns to show Commodore how to really tarnish a brand (Feb 29 2008 18:24 GMT) - Filed under: Gaming, Home Entertainment As if seeing the Commodore logo slapped on a whole slew of thoroughly unremarkable devices wasn't enough to make folks of a certain age feel a little wistful for their early computing days, legendary game developer Microprose is now getting in on the action as well, and seemingly outdoing Commodore to boot. As the Classic Gaming website reports, Microprose, once known as the name behind Civilization, Railroad Tycoon and other classic games, is now set to release a bundle of new products that likely wouldn't garner a second glance if not for the brand. Those include the MPI-500 digital TV receiver and MPI-100 HDMI switch pictured above, as well as a series of REDLINE cabling products aimed at gamers, a battery pack/stand for the PSP, and the Microprose Arcade Professional PC joystick (pictured after the break), which at least brings a little old school flavor with it (including a trackball). No word on a price for any of 'em just, but at least the joystick will apparently be available in May. |

It?s Enough To Make an American Proud (Feb 29 2008 18:21 GMT) - A reader responding to my post on what a Democratic president and Congress should do about the Bush administration?s many scandals had a pretty good idea, albeit tongue in check: Send The Decider, Cheney, Gonzo, Rummy and Company to the Navy brig at Guantánamo Bay where they would be held without rights and waterboarded to see if they would yield any good intelligence.
