Computex 2008 Booth Babes
Tech ARP :: Friday, June 13, 2008
Trade fairs like Computex Taipei are no longer merely about companies showing off the best and latest products in booths and hotel suites. They are becoming more like fashion shows, with companies employing models to show off their products. Some companies even have their models parade up and down catwalks with their latest products.
Perhaps they are trying to equate their products with the beauty of the models. Whatever it is, it is a great opportunity for us, photographers, to capture the beauty of these models. So here we present the best of the models at Computex Taipei 2008!

OCZ Neural Impulse Actuator
Lost Circuits :: Friday, June 13, 2008
Brain Computer Interfaces are the trend of the year. After almost one year of development, OCZTechnology’s Neural Impulse Actuator is finally shipping. We have some of the inside scoop on the nia relating to the hardware and software development, as well as some glimpses at the more advanced possibilities of the device. At the end, we have some benchmarks – well, rather some pretty good scores in Unreal Tournament 3 to show that the nia can do a bit more than simply levitating obsolete computer hardware.
What’s New & Cool @ OCZ Technology
Tech ARP :: Friday, June 13, 2008
“The coolest OCZ product on demonstration was, of course, their Neuro Pulse Activator. It was revealed at CeBIT back in March ’07 but only went into mass production a year later in March ’08. The OCZ team set up a demonstration in their suite and Jessica kindly showed me how it worked. Believe it or not, she’s the best player in their team!”

MSI P6N SLI Platinum NF650i SLI Motherboard
Dragonsteel Mods :: Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Motherboards are pretty much the main component in any computer system, most people either build their system around it or the CPU, and we've got so many choices it can get confusing at times. One of the things I do is PC-Based CCTV Security Systems, and some have been installed for a few years, so there comes a time to upgrade them as parts fail, running 24/7 is hard on components. I've noticed a trend though with newer motherboards, they seem to be eliminating IDE connections on them and it's getting harder to find basic motherboards that can support four IDE devices, so I have to settle on getting more higher end ones to have the support I need. When upgrading this system I had to find one that was compatible with my current hardware, especially the three 400 gig hard drives and one DVD/RW. I searched and searched and finally settled on one that I thought would work fine for my needs. Since, when I build these systems, I test them throughly with standard benchmarks etc, I figure why let all of that testing go to waste, why not make a review out of it… Today for review I've got an MSI P6N SLI Platinum Motherboard, it's packed with tons of features that you'll see on most higher end motherboards, including eSATA, 8-Channel Audio, 1333FSB Support and SLI support as well. My only complaints about this board would have to be that SLI only runs at 8X, and you have to use a card to switch between SLI and NON-SLI configurations, this can be a real pain. So continue on as I put the MSI P6N NF650i motherboard up against the competition…

Digital Stream DTX9900 Digital to Analog Converter Box
Dragonsteel Mods :: Tuesday, June 10, 2008
So I don't have cable, I haven't had it for about 7 years now, why you might ask? Well for one I got tired of rates just going up all the time with no explanation, when I dropped my cable and cable internet I was paying a little over $100 per month for something I really didn't even use. The internet was a joke, sure it was fast at times, but it was very inconsistent. I also had numerous problems with even having internet, 10 to 15 days out of every month the internet was out for a few hours per day, and of course there was nothing they could do about it. I've since switched to Verizon DSL and have never had an outage, except of course when the power goes out, the speed is consistent and I'm very happy with it. Anyway, as for having cable TV, well that again was hit or miss when it was even on, I was paying for digital cable etc and had 200 and some channels with really nothing on them, at least nothing that I was interested in. I've got three kids and most of the time when the TV is on it's tuned to PBS or we're watching one of our numerous DVDs or VHS tapes, yes I still have VHS tapes, many in fact. I figured why pay for something I don't use, so I dropped it altogether and got a decent antenna, it works fine to get over the air signals and I get the main channels. Next year of course there will be no more analog TV so I'm one of those people that have to get the DTV converter box, and since I got them I figured why not review them as I'm sure I'm not the only one out there without cable or satellite TV. Today I'm taking a look at the Digital Stream DTX9900 Digital to Analog Converter Box, it's very small, inexpensive and seems to get the job done. You've got many choices out there now when it comes to DTV converter boxes if you need one, which one should you get? I've got two different ones actually for review, two different brands with varying features between them, so continue on to learn more about the Digital Stream DTX9900 DTV Converter Box, and be sure to check back in a few days for my review of a Zenith branded converter box…
