With any luck, this will work to benefit Sony as they sure could use some success in the Blueray world right now.
Sony has announced that Click, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, and Black Hawk Down will be the first Sony films released on 50GB dual-layer Blu-ray disc. Although Blu-ray discs have […]
Into overclocking? Then you will definitely want to read the latest piece below on Core 2 Duo E6400 below.
Everyone expects a multi-thousand dollar PC to perform well, but most of us have bills to pay. Intel’s gift to the frugal is a Core 2 Duo processor with half the cache for around two-thirds the cash. […]
After the latest Playstation 3 demos, it appears that Sony has finally come back from the dead and they might just be coming back stronger than ever.
This has not been a great couple of years for Sony. We had the rootkit catastrophe late last year and the Sony Battery disaster this year. A number of […]
So where is the graphics world. Just as importantly, it is really sad in my opinion that it is only on company (Microsoft) that drives the trends yet to come.
Direct X 10 is on the horizon, and so is the hardware that will be driving it. While the demand for Direct X 9 hardware is […]

Well, OK. It’s an attempt at VoIP, right? I mean, they could have done worse. It’s just so…white.
Take a look at what can happen when you tell your engineers to start from scratch and build a VoIP phone that’s specifically built to be a VoIP phone… not a weak imitation of a landline or cellular […]
Wow, can I get fries with that CPU? Seriously, what a creative way to mix some greasy fun with computing!
This hardware hacker was experimenting with liquid cooling for an old motherboard, immersing it in oil in a tin pan. Once that worked, he decided to heat the oil up and make french-fries in it, while […]
Guess whether we like it or not, we’re going mobile with our computing. And from the looks of things, it is done deal.
The world’s largest contract laptop PC maker is branching out into ultramobile PCs (UMPCs), using a reference design from Intel and Internet software from Yahoo.
Intel executives showed off the UMPC made by Quanta […]
I simply can’t get myself all that excited about yet another Skype add-on product. Still, if it was a little more open ended, it might be cool.
At the recent VON show, I dropped by Polycom’s booth to check out its “HD Voice” wideband audio technology demo. I used many a POTS Polycom speakerphone in my […]
I think the real question is whether or not Nintendo really can pull off the expected revenue with their new Wii console.
Even without the launch of the Wii, Nintendo will have a good shot at becoming the most successful video game hardware company this year. The manufacturer today said that it expects global sales of […]
Apple takes the one for the team as they support AIDS research with their new red ipods.
Apple said that it will provide $10 of each Ipod Nano “(PRODUCT) RED Special Edition” music player to the organization. The bright red player complements the already available second generation Ipod Nano, which is sold in black, silver, blue, […]
Well, to all those who believe that all drives are created equal – it appears this conclusion was not completely accurate.
Normally, users of external hard drives are faced with a limited set of choices. Some products offer dual interfaces, typically FireWire 400 and USB 2.0. Some drives, like Seagate’s 300GB eSATA external drive, give you […]

So just how worthwhile is the power consumption for Intel Core 2 Chipset? That answer might just surprise you…
Since the introduction of Intel’s 90nm Prescott core, power consumption has been at the forefront of any CPU related discussion. But as both AMD and Intel strive towards introducing more power efficient cores we must turn our […]
OK, I’ll confess. This is one network appliance that I would not mind owning.
“The Wireless-N Gigabit Router with Storage Link is really four devices in one box. First, there’s the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to the network without wires. There’s also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100/1000 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices […]
I would be first to admit that mobile devices have made some amazing transformations over the years. This piece below definitely illustrates this well.
Check out our slideshow that includes a tribute to the Psion 5mx, a discussion of the modern version of the 5mx we’re designing and a request for your help in finalizing the […]
This one will be getting pretty juicy I suspect. Seriously, as these types of reviews go, things could get ugly!
After HP’s recent acquisition of Voodoo PC, it seems fair to compare and contrast a very high-end, luxury gaming PC with a high-end, stock gaming PC from a mainstream PC manufacturer.
The Gateway FX510XT has been previously […]
Alright, even cynical old me has to admit that this is pretty darn cool. A mouse of all seasons, even?
We do plenty of mouse reviews here at ExtremeTech. And why not? High-end products like Logitech’s G7 Laser Cordless and Creative’s Fatal1ty line cater to the kind of performance enthusiast gamers and do-it-yourselfers want. Even mice […]
Oh there is no question that this could put them back on the map. And so long as HP understands the importance of leaving the VoodooPC guys alone to do what they do best, this could be quite the success story.
Holy Bat-puter, Robin! Yup, the mod described below is simply incredible. Click through to the website as well to check out the great pics of the rig.
