The Gigabyte Open Overclocking Championship landed in Los Angeles recently, with coverage on Futurelooks and Techgage. Also QuakeCon was on this weekend, with coverage from PC Perspective and Tweaktown (and more here.) Id took the unusual step of demonstrating the title simultaneously on a PlayStation3, XBOX 360 and a PC to show the developer was quite serious about RAGE being a cross-platform title.

If you're a major Modern Warfare 2 fan, you might want to fork out the big bucks for the Prestige Edition of Black Ops, which includes a remote control spy car.

Google have posted a statement clarifying their net neutrality position with Verizon. Our two companies are proposing a legislative framework to the Congress for its consideration. We hope all stakeholders will weigh in and help shape the framework to move us all forward. We’re not so presumptuous to think that any two businesses could – or should – decide the future of this issue. We’re simply trying to offer a proposal to help resolve a debate which has largely stagnated after five years.
