Love or hate the brand, this micro drive is nothing short of cool! Seriously, isn’t this thing just killer?

Hey cool! I never even thought of graphics processors helping with non-graphic needs on the PC. What a novel idea!

I have often wondered what it would take to get Linux PCs to boot faster! After reading this article below, I now know that it comes down to custom BIOS.

If you are in the market for buying a new notebook computer, this article might just be the place to start off at before sinking large sums of ‘bling’ (money) into the next purchase.

Hmm, is the Dish DVR player as good or better than those standalone units or the one provided by DirecTV? Guess you will have to read the review to find out, won’t you? Check it out:

As I read through the description of recommended components for a computer purchse in this article, I think that most of this was right on. I will venture to say that there is still nothing wrong with a good CRT monitor though.

Well good for Gateway! I have felt like poor Gateway has been left in the dust lately and I am glad to see that the back to school market is giving them a new shot at making a comeback.

When I first read the title, I thought it was a vague reference with some faceless tech support dept. But as it turns out it was the description for the winner of a Sci-Fi case mod contest.

The more I think about Microsoft siding with Toshiba, the more likely I think it is that they will end up winning the format war.

I’ve said it once and I will say it again: Tech support for hardware via email is nortoriously poor with most PC companies.

Boy, did I see this coming! Looks like AMD is not taking Intel’s latest actions laying down. Unfortunately I am not convinced that there is much they can do about it.

Wow, did not see this coming! Apparently Toms’ Hardware has opted for the launch of an online shopping tool of their own. Having said all of that, this could be pretty handy when trying to compare hardware features during an online shopping trip.

I sort of heard about this before the official word came about, but that is another story altogether. So, the UMD is accepted and that’s that, huh? If it proves to be a worthwhile format, then I have no real problem with this.

A case mod with the weather in mind? Eh, I have seen stranger. Having said that, I will say that this whole concept is pretty clever though.

I have to hand it to Microsoft, while we do not always agree on stuff, they do seem to always be there on the forefront of much of the innovation coming out of the wood work these days. If Toshiba and MS are successful with this joint venture, it could mean some amazing things for [...]

I must admit, even though I have used a ton of Sony products in my life, I have yet to really look into their projectors. After reading through the specs for their VPL-CX20 Super Thin Projector, I think that they did pretty darn good!

This has got to be a spoof, right? Eh, I am not too sure about that. The article looks pretty convincing. So with that in mind, I am still going to say ‘prove it’ I think.

First of, Compaq notebooks are garbage. Sorry, but I have a client list of new owners to prove it. Regardless, in the their effort to not suck so much, they are beginning to implement new technologies like ‘Smart Office’ among other offerings. Personally, I’d go IBM, Toshiba, Fujitsu or even Dell (and that is a [...]

This in-wall control for your MCE is sort of cool I guess, but I am still working out the practical applications for such a thing.

I can honestly say that I believed I would never again see the name ‘Commodore’ on any sort of device. It looks like I was way off. Wow, this portable media player actually looks pretty cool!
