Tech Update #119 Knee-Seeking Arrows

Seems like forever but it's finally arrived, its Friday and its Tech Update Time!!!!!!! We got a ton of stuff to talk about this week so let's get right into it with the official specs and release of the 7970 Radeon graphic card, nothing to crazy but a beast none the less. We also get some crazy robot news in the form of electronics that can heal themselves if damaged. This is how Skynet is formed people, couple of military robots powered by Intel and the Medfield atom that can also heal themselves in the future? Yeah might as well stock pile ammunition starting now. In gaming news we got some new Skyrim news in the form of a patch finally using 4GB officially instead of breaking the mod every patch, some crazy Half life mods in Minecraft, a look at the Battlefield 3 expansion, and of course Star Wars the Old Republic released this week ready to blast some competition at Blizzard's territory. Lastly of course we have frogs playing video games, a fed ex driver that deserves an arrow to the knee and transformers in court with Asus, just another day here at Tech Update.
