According to Ron Jackson’s latest Lowdown, the domain market is still defying gravity in terms of the falling economy. The weekly sales report that was just released early this morning concluded the first quarter of 2008. This first quarter of 2008 wound up being the best domain sales quarter since the start of their tracking in fall 2003.
Although Nyko’s wireless FrontMan axe is slated to land for Xbox 360 this June, it seems as though it has been beaten to the proverbial punch by some random rival from who knows where. Known only as “3rd Party,” the aforementioned company has seemingly crafted a wireless Flying V that plays nice with the Xbox 360, and better still, it looks to be available right now. Still, considering the fact that it’s labeled “Guitar for Games” and designed to function with the “X 360,” we’re not entirely sure we’d be willing to risk our $41.94. But hey, if you see “quality” written all over that image pictured above, we certainly aren’t going to stop you from pulling the trigger and hoping for the best.

ntel hasn’t convinced you yet that its upcoming Atom processors will be dirt cheap and pregnant with promise? Well the company has a new definition on the table to see if you’ll reconsider. Intel is talking up a new “NetTop” concept of desktop PCs ranging in price from $100 to $299 — the desktop counterpart to the Eee PC, if you will. Naturally, Intel plans for those desktops to be powered by its own Diamondville processor, but also has other plans like solid state storage, no system fans or CPU socket, optimized power supply unit and “cost optimized OS solutions.” The machines will run on Linux or Windows, and Intel projects 60 million of ‘em will be sold a year by 2011. Those crazy, cash-addled dreamers.
