X-Gene Wired Multi-Media Keyboard with Optical Trackball
Dragonsteel Mods :: Tuesday, December 19, 2006
” Today on the review block we have another product from X-Gene, if you recall the last X-Gene review it was a review of their wireless keyboard with trackball, well this review is of their wired keyboard with trackball. No, it’s not the same, not even close, the wireless version was more fun looking, while the wired version looks like it belongs in an office, it is very stylish and has quite a few useful functions. Features like multimedia keys, internet function keys and the optical trackball built-in all make this one really cool keyboard, so read on to check it out…. ”

Holiday 2006 – Our Christmas Wish List
Think Computers :: Tuesday, December 19, 2006
“Here at ThinkComputers we do not get everything for free. There are a lot of items that we wish we could get a chance to take a look at and review.

I have also included 5 items that I would like as well. So let’s see what is on our Christmas list’s…”

Ratpadz XT Premium Mousing Surface Review
Virtual Hideout :: Tuesday, December 19, 2006
Is the Ratpadz any different?. If you want a good comparison to something you might already have, think indestructible cutting board, or armor plating, and you’ll get a good idea on how sturdy it feels (that’s a plus btw)”

Ratpadz XT Premium Gaming Mousepad Review
Tweaknews :: Tuesday, December 19, 2006
“Truthfully, I never knew gaming could be this effortless. I know I know, it is just a mousepad, but you really have to try one of these out. There are several companies bragging and touting their mousepads to be the best out there and when they turned up to the Tweaknews labs they were judged to be overpriced, over-hyped and under performing pieces of marketed junk……..but this doesn’t apply to the Ratpadz XT. It is what it is and that is an exceptional mousepad. And it isn’t that badly priced to boot.”

Razer Tarantula Gaming Keyboard
Phoronix :: Tuesday, December 19, 2006
“Razer has been known for their array of professional gaming mice while recently we had looked at their Barracuda AC-1 and HP-1 audio products, but how well is this company able produce a professional gaming keyboard? After months of anticipation the Razer Tarantula Keyboard is finally shipping to retailers, and we happen to have our hands on this keyboard to see whether it is worth using under Linux.”

Titan TTC-G2T Aluminum Notebook Cooler Review
OCIA :: Tuesday, December 19, 2006
“Laptop coolers of various forms have been around for years, from special insulating pads to stands to things with fins and fans, but for every different type you see there are a myriad of mixed reviews over whether they’re actually very effective or not. As I mentioned, in my experience their performance has been less than stellar. But today I have for review the latest from Titan/Inland in their G3T aluminum cooler.”

Antec brings powerful cooling to laptop users
Antec :: Tuesday, December 19, 2006
Antec, Inc., the leading global brand of high-performance computer components for the PC upgrade and Do-It-Yourself markets, has released Notebook Cooler S, a small portable laptop cooler that effectively prevents overheating and associated problems, and NP-100, a high-capacity notebook power adapter that increases the life of laptop batteries.

Palm One Tungsten T5 Review
Project PDA :: Monday, December 18, 2006
“The T5 has been able to handle almost everything I’ve thrown at it. I have found it incredibly useful, very easily finding its way into my routine throughout the day. For example, I have an approximately 20 minute drive to the office and in the morning I don’t always have the time to read as much as I’d like before I have to head for school. So, I simply downloaded some MP3 lectures that I’d been wanting to hear, transferred them to the T5 using the Drive Mode, and then listen to them via the built-in speaker. The MP3 playback is wonderful, especially considering the fact that if you are listening to an MP3 and the times comes for your Palm to go into “hibernate” it will continue to play the MP3 with no interruptions. If you have a playlist queued up, it will play the playlist clear through, with the screen blanked out so that you don’t waste your battery life.”

Netgear Storage Central SC101 review
DV Hardware :: Monday, December 18, 2006

Cooler Master NotePal P1 Notebook Cooler Review
Think Computers :: Monday, December 18, 2006
“Almost all notebook coolers are the same or have the same design. The basic design that we have seen on them works, but is there a better design? Well we will see today if there is. The Cooler Master NotePal P1 has a stylish ergonomic design unlike other notebook coolers out there. It is very lightweight and has an extra USB port so let’s see if it can get the job done.”

What To Do if Your iPod Falls in the Toilet
Big Bruin :: Monday, December 18, 2006
This article isn’t our usual fare, but it covers a very serious topic and I thought it should be shared! Who knows, it might just be you that is saved, or at least it might be you that has a little laugh. The moral is that “Next time you want to hear music when you are in the toilet please be extra careful. Especially if you had bad seafood the night before.”

Logitech G5 Laser Gaming Mouse: Battlefield 2142 Edition Review
Hardware Secrets :: Monday, December 18, 2006
“A sluggish mouse is a nightmare for any gamer. Quickness of response and precision mean the difference between life and death in a digital battleground. The Logitech G5 Laser Gaming Mouse has been around for a year now, but it’s gaining a facelift with a special version based on the newest installment of the successful Battlefield series from Electronic Arts, Battlefield 2142 (BF 2142 for short). What was already the weapon of choice of any serious first person shooter gamer has become also a beautiful mouse with some cool graphics inspired by the game.”

Palm One Tungsten T5 Review
Project PDA :: Saturday, December 16, 2006
“The T5 has been able to handle almost everything I’ve thrown at it. I have found it incredibly useful, very easily finding its way into my routine throughout the day. For example, I have an approximately 20 minute drive to the office and in the morning I don’t always have the time to read as much as I’d like before I have to head for school.

MyFlash Fingerprint Disk FP1 Review
Overclockers Club :: Friday, December 15, 2006
“This brings me to the MyFlash Fingerprint Disk, produced by A-Data Technology. This is a standard size USB 2.0 flash drive, but includes the security of a fingerprint swipe system. I must say, when I first saw this little item, I was skeptical about its reliability. I mean, the government has been talking for years about using biometrics for security at places such as airports, but has been unable to implement a system that works and is cost efficient. But I, as a consumer, can purchase, for a reasonable price, a reliable, secure, fingerprint recognition system? I was pondering the government and how it always seems to be years behind, and then it happened. “Fingerprint Device Not Registered”… I will explain shortly.”

Razer Barracuda HP-1
techPowerUp! :: Thursday, December 14, 2006
The Razer Barracuda HP-1 is a unique headset which offers true surround sound. A number of small speakers in the headphone are placed at different positions and are driven by a small amplifier included with the headphones. Now you can enjoy positional sound effects while using a headset. In our testing we found out that this makes quite a difference in games like Counter-Strike or Battlefield, where you can locate enemies based on the sounds they make.

Project PDA: Holiday 2006 Smartphone Buyer’s Guide
Project PDA :: Thursday, December 14, 2006
“The first and arguably the most important decision that needs to be made before buying a new mobile phone is deciding which service provider to use. With all of the complex voice, data, and feature plans available, there isn’t a magic formula or overly simplistic piece of advice to give. We recommend relying on the service providers’ technology and coverage that will best meet your needs. Remember to take into consideration that you may work in an area that has great coverage, but live in an area that gets horrible reception.”

Dragonsteel Mods :: Thursday, December 14, 2006
” With services like YouTube, MySpace and others out there, Webcams have become increasingly popular. There was a time when they were more of a novelty item, but now it seems that everyone has one in some form or another. With that popularity increase of course comes forced advancements in the technology itself, with those advancements comes specialization. Today for review our friends at USBGeek have sent us a very cool WebCam, this one features Night Vision, and of course it has built in microphone as well. Read on to check it out, it really is a great camera…. ”
