Rockstar announces Liberty City Invasion: Music from and Inspired by Grand theft Auto IV (SlashGear)

Fri, 16 May 2008 12:46:13 GMT

Sync luxury integrated PC desk (SlashGear)

Fri, 16 May 2008 17:42:03 GMT

Now building a computer into a desk is, when you think about it, a pretty daft idea. Not only are you saying that you don't need the flexibility of a laptop, but you're saying you'll always be using your PC wherever your desk is.
