Many find Fallout 3 similar to Philip K. Dick’s ‘The Penultimate Truth’

Written by sci-fi superstar Philip K. Dick in 1964, The Penultimate Truth follows people living in underground shelters, for fear of a World War III that they are told is being waged on the surface above them. We could go into more of the similarities between the book and Bethesda’s Fallout 3 , but then that would mean venturing into dangerous, radiation-strewn spoiler territory. Of course, if one wants to say that Bethesda plagiarized The Penultimate Truth , then one must look to previous titles in the Fallout series, as well

BELKIN USB 2.0 Plus Hub (7 Port) Review
by Joseph Rybka on Dec.28, 2007, under Gadgets, Hubs, Reviews
As you know you can never have too many USB ports, either your USB ports are really hard to get to, or they are already full, in my case they are full. So I decided to purchase the Belkin USB 2.0 Plus Hub (7 Port), this is a stackable powered hub that has two ports on top for easy access and five ports along the back side, and features a built in cable management system for the things that you frequently need to charge, such as an MP3 player or a cell phone. Belkin also has built weights into the hub so that it does not slide around on your workstation, which is a nice added feature.
Design:
The Belkin USB 2.0 Plus Hub (7 Port) has a very nice design. It measures 6″ x 3.5″ x 3/4″ and measures 1″ at the tallest point where the two ports are on top. Six inches in length is a bit long, but that is because you have five USB ports that line up horizontally, along with the power inlet and the data cable that attaches to your computer. As I stated earlier this hub has weights built into it, so as it will stay where you put it. Under the unit, it has four rubber feet for added stay-put protection. (continue reading…)
