For those that don't know me, which is most of you, my name is John (or J-Robe as I've been called here). Matt and I were talking and decided that I would try and write a weekly column for tuneoutdropin.com. This column would be mainly about new technology and my thoughts, insights and opinions regarding it. Nerd stuff basically. Now without further ado… ON WITH THE NERDY-NESS!

These are exciting times in Nerdtopia, as we have a new generation of gaming consoles in the process of launching. Rumor has it the new Nintendo unit (code-named "Revolution") will get its official name and launch date in the near future. Grape vines say that the possible name is the Nintendo GO and that the launch date might be as early as June.

With the Playstation 3 being delayed until November in Japan, does this mean that Sony won't capture the majority of the market in consoles for this generation? The saving grace of Sony is that they have the best hardware, which means the games will look better longer, as long as the tools the game creators use are easy to use. I could probably write about four full columns about the pros and cons of each console, and if I get enough demand for it, I might. Just let me know at sartandrake@gmail.com.

BUT ON WITH OTHER NERD NEWS!

In case you haven't heard, Dell is buying out Alienware computers. Alienware is probably the most powerful name brand computer you can buy, and their prices reflect this. They aren't cheap, but they are always on the top of technology; whether it be Intel or AMD processors. My fear is that Dell will force Alienware to sell ONLY Intel CPU's which would suck ass. The main reason is that right now, AMD processors run faster, cooler and use less power than Intel.

Alright that's all I got for now, if you have any specific areas of technology you'd like me to look into and report on, let me know. I'll try and have more for you next week.

HAPPY NERDING EVERYONE!
