If I were to sit down and compile a list of some of my favorite guitarists of all time, you can bet your ass that Ted Nugent would be on it. I’ve actually been a bit disappointed that I can’t rock out to his stylings on Guitar Hero or Rock Band. However, once Guitar Hero IV hits stores, that’s all going to change.
ASUS continued their assault on the budget computing market this week, with the Eee PC 900 finally launching in the US while its Intel Atom powered sibling the PC 901 broke cover. We also saw a live photo of the Eee Box B202, a desktop version. It looks as though the rumors of a separate Eee brand could be true; the ASUS logo is notable for its absence on the new products. Meanwhile, OLPC and Microsoft finally shook hands on a Windows XP deal for the XO education notebook, and Fujitsu showed off their own Atom-based ultraportable, the U2010 UMPC complete with 3.5G WWAN and GPS.

More speed, more gameplay and more pixels has been the theme of the week, with a variety of new hardware launches and upgrades together with some long awaited titles getting released. Apple lived up to the rumors and introduced new processors and faster FSB for their iMac range, together with stirring up a little controversy over whether they’d had access to Intel’s future product line first. Faux-Apple hardware also get plenty of attention, as Psystar’s OS X-running Open Computer took time out from being sniped at by fanboys to get benchmarked.
I know that many of you out there love to get your Guitar Hero on. I’ve been to a few tournaments, though second place is the best I’ve ever done.

I have some very sad news for Aerosmith fans. If you enjoy rocking out to some classic Aerosmith in Rock Band, you’d better get used to Train Kept a Rollin’, because that’s all you’re going to get.
Its been a little while since a new Guitar Hero Shirt has popped up, if you haven’t snagged one in a while, now you have another to add to your collection or wish list. This one has a much more hardcore look to it as opposed to just the regular guitar on your tee.
