Gizmodo explains why everything wireless is 2.4GHz. You live your life at 2.4GHz. Your router, your cordless phone, your Bluetooth earpiece, your baby monitor and your garage opener all love and live on this radio frequency, and no others. Why? The answer is in your kitchen. It is common knowledge to most computer literate people that the microwave can mess up your wireless signal from the cordless phone to the laptop. Gizmodo explains why this happened in a pretty easy to understand way.

Jerich got a chance to play Torchlight II at PAX and has a really nice writeup on what he got to play. He also got to interview some of the designers like Travis Baldree, lead designer and other from Runic Games. Here is a list of topics that Jerich wrote up in the article.
* UI Changes
* Raiman and Outlander info
* Stats
* New Weapon abilities
* Retirement
* Transformations
* Amazing new Character Modding Capabilities!
* The world, acts, and tilesets
* Dynamic Events
* PvP
* World Modding
* Items
* Multiplayer (LOTS of info!)
* Alpha/Beta Testing and Release Date Estimates!

I can not wait to play Torchlight II. It should be a lot of fun to play with my friends and sounds a lot like the way Mythos was before the Flagship sunk.
