ArsGeek | September 9th 2008
Speaking of SecuRom - I'm not quite sure why software companies continue to insist that DRM of this type (or any type) is worth it. I wonder how much money EA stuck into this? The game was available on the torrents before it's official launch and read more

ArsGeek | August 6th 2008

Gruntled. Now there's a word that you just don't see anymore – in fact, we may never have seen it. What? You don't know what Gruntled means? Let me use it in a sentence. Larry was so gruntled today, he didn't even haul off on anyone with a read more

ArsGeek | July 21st 2008

ArsGeek | July 17th 2008
