For the thirteenth anniversary of Command & Conquer, EA officially released Red Alert for free download! This follows up on the success of C&C1's free release for the twelfth anniversary. As this is an old game it will only run in XP with modifications that you can find in the link at the bottom of this article.

Here's how to get the game running if you have any trouble. Enjoy!

Google has announced their entry into the browser wars with the beta release of Google Chrome, a browser that promises to revolutionize the way we operate on the web. The good people at Google even published a little comic book explaining the browser and what they aim to accomplish with it here.

One of the nice things about this browser is that it features it's own task manager:

Chrome features a process management utility called the Task Manager which will allow the user to "see what sites are using the most memory, downloading the most bytes and abusing (their) CPU" (as well as the plugins which run in separate processes) and terminate them.

I know that I'll be using this as a supplement to my Firefox usage until it becomes more stable, but as of now it seems to be having some Java compatibility issues.  And of course, here is the link to download and try out Google Chrome for yourself.  Happy surfing!

Check out this awesome keyboard! Yes, for the low low price of $199.99, this can be all yours!

Some of you out there might have an iPhone... I know I do. Over the last 2 months I have noticed nothing but problem after problem with the data service as well as making phone calls (call failed anyone?).

Turns out Apple can't dish all of the blame out to AT&T anymore.

 More after the jump:

Instead of wood, your next house might be built almost entirely of concrete.  Here is a video presentation of what building a house with a technology being funded by Caterpillar just might look like in the near future. And don't expect it to be built primarily by human hands- expect a massive version of an inkjet printer to do it for you.

"Instead of plastic, Contour Crafting will use concrete," said Khoshnevis; actually, it's a special concrete formulation provided by USG, the multi-national construction materials company that has been contributing to Khoshnevis' research for some years as a member of an industry coalition backing the USC Center for Rapid Automated Fabrication Technologies (CRAFT), home of the initiative.

The feasibility of the Contour Crafting process has been established by  a recent research effort which has resulted in automated fabrication of six-foot concrete walls.
