New 30-inch HP monitor wows the HotHardware crew. Yep, $1,300 is a lot of scratch to throw at a monitor, but the HotHardware.com posse are thoroughly impressed. In fact, they nearly ran out of superlatives in describing the ZR30W’s performance; the sole nit they could find to pick was that the monitor only sports DisplayPort and DVI connectors, characterizing the unit’s lack of an HDMI connector as “egregious.” Dated:7/28/2010 11:01:10 AM Revenge of the Cookie. It’s been roughly 15 years since the panic over browser cookies reached a fever pitch. Well, hold on to your tinfoil hats, folks, because cookies have been thrust into the limelight once again. And this time, these aren’t your garden-variety cookies. These are zombie cookies. These George Romero-inspired cookies are the brainchild of Quantcast and the center of a new lawsuit in U.S. District Court. Essentially, Quantcast’s sourcellations uses Flash cookies to resurrect your browser cookies, even if you’ve already deleted them. And then they eat your brain. Dated:7/28/2010 10:31:03 AM Warhammer 40K Dreadnaught mod is full of win. You probably won’t see many mods like this on the cover of CPU (heck, or anywhere else, for that matter), but we couldn’t let this go by without passing it along. If you’re into cool, modded PCs and Warhammer 40K, this is as close as you should ever get to seriously using the word “synergy.” Dated:7/28/2010 10:31:03 AM South Korea gets a new “sport.” As you surely know by now, a little game called Starcraft II launched yesterday. You may also know that in South Korea, the original Starcraf has insane following. (This Kotaku article compares it to professional poker.) It’s intriguing to us, given that the gaming community is still widely viewed as countercultural in the States, how Blizzard’s space-based RTS achieved such preeminence in South Korea. The game is undoubtedly going to be huge, but as CNN (of all places) points out, Starcraft II’s biggest competition is going to be . . . Starcraft I. Dated:7/28/2010 10:31:03 AM RIM planning to reveal “iPhone killer” next Tuesday. Haven’t we been down this road before (several times)? Anyway, if you care, those who are paid to analyze have indeed analyzed, and the smart money is on a 9800 announcement next week. Dated:7/28/2010 10:31:03 AM Sprint Nextel actually gains subscribers. It’s no secret that mobile provider Sprint Nextel has had some troubles the last few years, but this stat is still pretty dramatic: the company reports that for its most recent fiscal quarter, it achieved the first net gain in subscribers it has experienced in three years. This AP story tosses lots of other numbers at you, and provides some chatter about what Sprint’s done to improve, but here is the salient point: “Sprint CEO Dan Hesse said the company had some help from the launch of its first “4G” phone, the HTC EVO . . .” Hmm, ya think?
