Steam's holiday sale is on now; indie games are available for as little as $1 (Braid is about $2.50, IIRC), and big-name games for as little as $5. (Ghostbusters). Link here: [store.steampowered.com]

Hello there. I'm Gabriel , I'm 17. I read Gizmodo pretty often and this is the first time i feel like emailing you for anything. Excuse my english, if i type any mistake I'm sorry, I'm a native spanish speaking person. Anyways, I hope u might know what's going on here in Venezuela. Appearently the whole blackberry service is down, there's even a Facebook group about it ( [www.facebook.com] ), its all in spanish though. Me, being a current RIM user, here in Venezuela, can testify that my phone has no Data at all, and yes, i paid the monthly feed. The group, the last time i checked had 4,080 members, out of the.. let's say 2 million? IDK the exact number, but here in Caracas, Venezuela; Blackberries are pretty popular. So everyone is pretty much pissed. I just thought this might had seem interesting for you.
I'm wondering why Giz isn't covering the self imposed internet blackout of China
"China justifies this breathtakingly totalitarian approach as a way to prevent its citizens from being corrupted by "vulgar" web content from "obscene" servers, or in other words, pornography. However one can't help but think that the Chinese government also hopes that by creating a whitelist of 'acceptable' websites it will gain even greater political and social control over its huge, diverse and rapidly modernising population." - The Inquirer [www.theinquirer.net]
The Chinese government has set up a whitelist of approved domains that the country can resolve to, Billed as a way to remove porn of from the internet domains need to be submitted to, and then approved by the Chinese government
"It also tightens the registration process for domain names. Any service provider must have a business license and the Web site itself must also have a business license or be registered — which would appear to prohibit sites set up by individuals." - AP [www.google.com]
Watch this video. Apparently you don't want to mess with Steve Ballmer and his enthusiasm on the word, "Bing". If you're an employee, it could get you fired.
More details leak on the new Thinkpad T410 and T510 (due in January, running on the "Capella" platform's 32nm mobilized Westmere/Nahalem architecture).
According to the [it-chuiko.com] the two refreshes to the T series will sport 16:9 displays, starting at 1366x768 (14" T410) and 1600x9090 (15" T510), and include eSata *and* DisplayPort ports, in addition to 5 USB ports and (in the pic of the back), a legacy d-sub/VGA out (can we *EVER* kill off that connector? Geez, let it go, notebook makers!).
Graphics options will include integrated Intel 5700MHD (as in, integrated on the CPU) or NVIDIA Quadro NVS3100M discrete graphics (possibly not at launch).
The T410 will come powered by a choice of Core i3 or i5 silicon, while the T510 will have the option of a (mobile, obviously) Core i7, at least according to it-chuiko.com. Details will be officially announced at CES next month (and they damn well better have higher than 1366x768 as an option on that T410!!).
Looks like Darth Vader had the privilege of opening the NYSE today along with other characters from 'Star Wars'. Kinda neat seeing Storm Troopers aiming their weapons at the trading floor.

This is what your IT dude is doing when you call for support. Also, users are idiots.
