One of the main reasons I bought my Xbox 360 last year, was because I hoped the Xbox modding community would bring out ‘XBMC360′, a suped up version of XBMC. However, Microsoft’s attempts to make the XBox 360 unkackable seem to have paid off with very little progress made over the last 12 months.
Well, it [...]

Three lucky readers of CustomPC will get their PCs tweaked and overclocked by their resident overclocking aficionados, Gareth Ogden and James Gorbold. In addition, any upgrades will be thrown in for free so expect some goodies if you’re the lucky winner.

Microsoft Windows Comes Of Age - Happy 21st Birthday!
Believe it or not Windows is 21 years old on Monday. When it was launched in 1985 the PC market was barely out of it’s infancy, and whatever you may think of Microsoft it is amazing what they Bill Gates & Co have built in such a relatively short time.

I finally splashed out on a digital camera over the summer, picking up a Vivatar ViviCam 8300s. It’s a great camera, but annoyingly the filenames of the photos I’ve taken tend to be the same as I upload them as soon as possible, so the count is always reset.

Best Wordpress Engagement Plugins: Make Users Read More Posts
I’ve just finished deploying my 6th theme in around six months, 4 on this blog and 2 free of charge for the charity Global Neuroscience Initiative Foundation where I maintain their blog for free.
