Jack Thompson In the last 52 weeks, Take-Two's stock peaked at $27.95 a share. As of tonight, it closes out 2008 at $7.56. According to an email conversation between Game Politics and every gamer's favorite recently-disbarred lawyer, the price plummeted due to good ol' fashioned divine retribution. And, of course, Thompson's worded it in his own inimitable way:
t's not every day that an Internet prank warrants an investigation from the SEC. But that's exactly what someone got when he posted a false rumor of Steve Jobs' heart attack to iReport, CNN's experiment in citizen journalism. While the investigation hasn't officially ended yet, leaked details confirm that there wasn't any real ill will involved in the falsified report.
Investors are feeding a dramatic world-wide slowdown by trying to flee it, racing away from many corners of the globe they used to favor. The resulting tumbles in stocks and currencies have helped provoke a broader crisis in places such as Iceland, whose turmoil in turn is hitting bank depositors from London to Amsterdam.
Washington: The Dow Jones Industrial Average Monday fell below 10,000 points for the first time in four years and the S&P 500 reached a four-year low on worries about more bank bail-outs in Europe and tumbling commodity prices.
Trading halted in Russia and Brazil as stocks plunged. Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Morgan Stanley and Bank of America Corp. fell more than 6.3 percent after the German government led a bailout of commercial-property lender Hypo Real Estate Holding AG and BNP Paribas SA bought Fortis's Belgium bank.

The image of stock trading also is a highly romanticized one, thanks to stock trading portrayals in the media and film. While it is true that stock trading can be a quick way to earn from an investment, it is equally just as easy to lose money from it and that is not necessarily.
Hi all. I have an Asus A2D notebook, with an ATi Mobility Radeon 9600. The stock Microsoft drivers fail to start properly, and hence I get no hardware acceleration. The Catalyst Vista drivers do not help, 7.2 installs, but also fails to work, while 7.4 doesn't install because it doesn't find a suitable chip. The only driver that gives me ANY 3d acceleration is the Mobility Catalyst for Windows XP. This works fine, (except obviously for Aero, seeing as it isn't a WDDM driver - which would be ok if it were the only downside), however I get a BSOD every time I shut down/restart/hibernate.

My parents just got a new HP PC last week, and the printer that the guys at Best Buy recommended is not compatible with Windows Vista. They tried to return it, only to find that Best Buy has no compatible ones in stock. I found a partial solution,...
