What it does
On reveal: -3 Power to the strongest enemy card here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 11 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.
The site, in 2001
A British technology tabloid website, founded in 2001 by Mike Magee after he left The Register.
Its journalists lived around the world and filed copy online. VNU bought it in 2006, Magee left in 2008, and it stopped publishing on 19 December 2019, partly because digital advertising income had fallen.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
