It’s a phone, it’s a camera, it’s freakin’ ugly as sin! I’m sorry, but this thing is not something that has me anxious to open up my pocket book to buy this monstrosity.

I can only imagine the hardware challenges that people are facing in trying to get communications back up in the south right now. But as I read the article below, I can get a pretty good feel for it…

OK, so while I continue to remain a fan of Toshiba notebooks, I have not really decided just yet when it comes to the Sony brand in this area. The specs seem fine, but unless they are going to drop one in my lap for testing, I am going to have to remain a little [...]

I have to be honest with you about Averatec notebooks. They may not be the best or the fastest, but as someone who owns one himself, I have been very happy with the 3200. I have beaten, dropped, ripped the plug out of this poor machine, only to find that it keeps tickin’. Might be [...]

SuSe for Power PC CPUs? Better believe it, buster! Take a look for yourself…

And now for part 2 of controlling Csound with a custom Midi controller. Don’t worry, it’s not that bad.

Could this be the last of a breed? The Creative Labs X-Fi could in fact be, the last of the PCI sound cards according to this article from ExtremeTech.

Considering looking into water cooling? Well perhaps this article and video will help to get you on the path.

It would appear that Intel has finally gotten the point that so many other hardware companies continue to miss. There is a ripe market out there largely ignored by the PC industry. While they claim that moves are being made to include the family, to date Apple and Intel seem to be the only [...]

I must admit, as I looked over the recent press release for the D-Link Wireless 3G Mobile Router, I felt like they were on the right track. Assuming everything is spot on, I might even look into something like this once I am ready to take that next step. Well, maybe…

Personally, I think that having an LCD outside seems silly. Then again, perhaps there are some practical applications that I might have been missing here. Eh, whatever. I just can’t see spending the money on it myself. I will however, take one for the inside though…

Well, the folks at Rackspace are experts. And I am sure that in many cases, Windows servers are certainly making a fair comeback. But I am would be skeptical if anyone claimed that this will remain for any length of time though.

Now this is interesting. Even though Intel is said to be faster than AMD in many respects, it seems that is some cases, AMD chips can get more done per clock cycle. Very interesting, very interesting indeed…

Boy, it seems like that with each passing day we get just a little bit more information in regards to that almost infamous Cell Processor.

Is this the end of the MP3 player known as the RIO? Could be. You’ll just have to read on to find out…

I am a little put off by the findings in the article. As I kept getting closer and closer to wanting a Tablet PC for myself, reading this really made me think twice about adding it to my wishlist…

As Pat from This Week in Tech recently pointed out recently, AMD is finally getting a handle on their mobile processors. But let’s get ExtremeTech’s perspective on the new Turion 64-bit processors…

High-end expectations for a lower-end price? That is my impression based on what I am seeing from the Fan-less 955x Chipset.

I like this case because it’s shiny! OK, actually there is a whole lot more to like about this PC case in addition to it’s ability to shine. Take a look for yourself…

So, is your LCD just too darn thick for you? Then perhaps you need to be following this news about Samsung prettyclosely then. It seems that they may have a solution for that darn thickness that has been plaguing you lately.
