Updated Xbox 360 Controller? Gimmick or necessary?

 I am personally very happy with the Xbox 360 controller as it currently is, but the folks over in Redmond decided it had some room for improvement with what Major Nelson dubbed a "transforming D-pad". 

 

 

 

 

It sounds intriguing, but will it actually assist in any way? What're your thoughts?

Gaming couples and the problem that will never go away.

I've got a sneaking suspicion that I'm not the only one who has a gamer husband that plays co-op games without me. For all you ladies who are in the same predicament, I thought you'd appreciate this:

Ladies - Love Gaming? Love Clothes? Why not kill two birds?

Us ladies love clothes and love gaming. Toss in the love of shopping and we've got a dangerous combination. Some creative folks at Cafe Press and some other cyber stores have some incredibly creative female gamer-centric shirts, stickers, and other stuff that rock my world.

These shirts can serve notice to our Y-chromosomed counterparts that we are only beginning to dominate the things that they once considered to be their little exclusive club. Some shirts are a tad bit oversexualized, but what can we expect? 

More shirts and stuff after the break.

Men? What are Men? Women are now pretty much dominating EVERYTHING.

 

 

Ok, the title may be a little overstated, but The Atlantic magazine states that women have become the majority in the workforce. It's true! We did it. High fives all around!

Women hold 51.4 percent of managerial and professional jobs and 54 percent of all accountant jobs. Not too bad. We still need to work on getting better executive positions, but we must crawl before we walk. Right now we're at a brisk walk.

True Geek Bling! The $1mil Laptop

Not to be outdone by our friends in Mexican drug cartels and their gun bling, [Ed. - No we have no affiliate with them, promise!] we've got some bling coming from Putin's Peeps - Russia! Since they opted to bring The Wall down, they decided to focus on even more important things. - like computers that cost more than your house. 

Singulum makes some insanely blinged out hand-made $1,000,000 (or 30,682,452 RUB for our friends in South Ossetia) laptops with ivory keys. No Chinese sweatshop laborers were even used in its construction, which could possibly account for at least half the cost.

More info after the break, since I know you've got some Rubles burning a hole in your pocket.

Nerd Girls out-do "Wonder Twin Powers" - They don't even have to "Activate"!

 It's refreshing to see nerdy girls doing nerdy things for the betterment of society. The Nerd Girls are recruiting, if you've got what it takes and are even in the midst of casting for a new TV Series. The Nerd Girls are a bunch of college students who enjoy doing things like building solar powered cars to wearing nerdy glasses.
