:cry: so young too :(

yes and with so much potential.. coming off a 40 goal season and an allstar appearence, won all star game mvp even. now hes probably gonna miss this entire year, and then he may be facing jail time after that.. and then hes got to live with that all his life, killing a team mate and friend.. like everyone else, i feel for him as a person, but as an atlanta thrashers fan, its a damn shame, hopes were so high going into this season

If Snyder had been wearing his seatbelt he would most likely be alive.

Well the car was ripped in half. I'm sure a seatbelt could have dealt different results, but they would have both been seriously injured if not killed whether a belt was used or not

They were both incredible hockey players. So young with so much potential. May Snyder R.I.P. and though the death may be Heatley's fault, may he make a swift recovery and deal with this in the best possible way. We don't need to lose another person to this tragedy.

Ruining a Ferrari is one thing. To ruin two lives is devestating, especially those so young and talented.

Snyder was considered to be a very good up and coming player. He was at the top of the list of many scouts as being one of the next great players in the NHL, possibly a solid second line center for the Thrashers eventually, he hadn't even played a full season yet, a tragedy.

Heatley, by far, was gonna become a superstar, possible 50+ goal seasons in the future, multimillionare, but now, who knows, the judge may let him go with his mind in a daze, who knows, Snyder's family probably has some say in that, but it's gonna be tough for Heatley.

Heatley and Snyder were best friends... I'm not sure how Snyder's family will react. I think they were both probably enjoying the moment in the Ferarri, though, to be honest. But that's just what I think.

I am a Blues fan but also a hockey fan in general. I feel for both families with regards to the accident. The pictures really bring home how horrible that accident must have been. Its amazing that either one of them made it through that.

It would be a class act to retire Snyders jersey...I hope Atlanta does the right thing.

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • Governments are ruining the internet to protect kids but there is a much better way

      By WaltC · Posted

      From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.
