One Coloradan Takes Modern Warfare 3 a Little Too Seriously

If any of you have lived in Colorado, you should know that there is an interesting mix of military and hippie culture going on in this state.  One only needs to visit Boulder and Colorado Springs in the same day to get a taste of the difference.  It doesn’t surprise me that Coloradans were excited

[Review] Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Stealth Edition

Since the late ’90s, Razer has been producing high-quality computer peripherals designed with gamers in mind. Although they started small, Razer has quickly become a household brand among pro gamers and us plebs alike.

Uncharted 3 – More Gold is Still Gold

I could save us all a lot of time and just say that Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception is at least as good as its predecessor. I could say it sparkles with witty character dialogue. I could say once the game gets going, set pieces that would be the climax of another franchise are a frequent

State of Play: Mac Vs PC

Most of us have probably seen the previously ubiquitous all-white background commercial regarding how a trendy, young, and known actor who represents an Apple computer is so different from the stodgy, suit & tie, middle aged lesser known actor portraying a PC. At first I treated this series of commercials with the same level of regard as I would water coming out of the faucet. But in the past couple of years as I’ve been interested in the computer market and trying to design a desktop computer for myself, the ad campaign has haunted my thoughts.

This commercial had returned to me as I began to consider whether or not people actually cared about this supposed ongoing argument between Macs and PCs. The acronym PC is after all just personal computer, and are not Macs computers for personal use? Truly this is just a commercial that was meant to create opposition and conflict between different computer users, rather an “us versus them” attitude, all for the sake of crafting brand loyalty. In the market for computers, competition for consumers should be won and lost based on the performance and price of their products. There should not be any hesitance to switch computer brands just because you had previously purchased from “x” brand. It is similar to not being resistant to buying honey wheat bread if you bought nine grain wheat bread before.
