Insomniac and coder Chad Perrin says that hackers who stay up all night coding can get more done in those hours than most people can in a month because an all-nighter lends itself to getting into "hack mode," or the state of flow. The Jargon Wiki defines hack mode as:
A Zen-like state of total focus on The Problem that may be achieved when one is hacking (this is why every good hacker is part mystic). Perrin says that insomniac coders kick into hack mode because there's no one else around to distract them and they have to stay quiet (and avoid the television) so not to disturb others sleeping. He also says the surreal perspective one gets at sunrise after a whole night awake encourages "crazy," creative thoughts and new ideas to emerge. Insomnia can really suck, but if you have to be awake all night, knocking something out in hack mode seems like the best way to do it.

A few months ago, Comcast, the largest cable television company and one of the largest Internet Service Providers in the United States, was accused of throttling BitTorrent downloads after numerous clients came upon slow connections and very low download speeds.

The fact is, your 360 is capable of so much more than just gaming. Let's take a look at a few ways you can get more from your Xbox 360. I'm a casual gamer who bought his Xbox 360 a solid two years after its release. I've built a dedicated DVR PC for my living room and am no stranger to incorporating computers with my home theater.

IPTV is not yet available for a wide range of users, as the costs of such technology are still high. The Internet Protocol Television, which is what the acronym stands for, is a TV service offered via an Internet network, usually one that is broadband supported. The cost of broadband itself is high enough to determine 35% of the Americans to keep on using the good ol' dial-up, so IPTV looks even more exotic.

Charlie Ergen went almost three
years without an acquisition after splitting up his satellite-
television empire in 2008. Since December, he has cut five deals
and may soon have a sixth.
Ergen is seeking to push his Dish Network Corp. (DISH) TV provider
and EchoStar Corp. (SATS) equipment company into Internet and on-demand
services, said Chris Marangi at Gamco Investors Inc. Dish, where
Ergen is chairman and chief executive officer, won an auction
this week for bankrupt Blockbuster Inc.’s movie-rental business,
beating out Carl Icahn and others with a $320 million bid.
