It's safe to say that we hear at CrunchGear think you should be able to do whatever you want with hardware that you buy. Let's take console modding. You wanna flash the drive on your 360 for whatever reason? Fine, go ahead. But don't think that you can log onto Xbox Live with said modded console, and play your misbegotten wares (or is that warez?), on Microsoft's network. It's against the TOS, it makes a mockery of the entertainment medium that you purport to support, and, well, is unfair to the other players. Full story...

The original UMID mbook M1 is a mixed bag of results. On one hand it’s a very pocketable Windows XP clamshell with a 4.
Oh, Ziema Lubuska, today is your lucky day! Apparently a games blogger for Gazeta Lubulska (Circulation: Maybe fifty grandmas out in Zielona Gora, Poland) just rocked the world with his review of Bioshock 2 saying that the game is a "Shock" and asking if "this is the direction video games are heading?" While his arguments are slow-witted and dull, it's definitely giving a small paper in rural Poland a nice boost in pageviews.
In preparation for Napoleon: Total War, which is due out on February 23rd, you can get all the previous Total War titles for 66% off from Steam this week.
USB 3.0 is just around the corner, with us having reported about more and more compatible devices in the last few months.
HTC cranks out Android handsets like candy corn - and we love that. The only downside to this, however, is that each new leak has us drooling before the last leak even has time to become a real product.
