The TechZone :: Monday, September 25, 2006
Are we assisting to the birth of the real battle for the next generation of movies for our home theaters? With the announcement by Apple of the availability of movies on their itune library and the release this fall of the Zune from Microsoft, we have the right to believe so. Other big players, like Amazon, are already going after the movie downloading market which seems to be a very strong social trend. Blu-ray and HD DVD is not a social trend. It is something built from scratch by audio-video manufacturers. Those formats are also for big technology fans with a lot of money in their pockets.

Cyber Snipa Intelliscope Gaming Mouse
Viper Lair :: Monday, September 25, 2006
“Gaming is good with this mouse; like any new mouse, it won’t turn you into Jonathan Wendall overnight (Ed – not even his mouse does that!) but the Cyber Snipa Intelliscope is certainly a good mouse to game with. For a few games, I already have multiple sensitivity set-ups for each weapon within that game, but there are a few games out there which cannot offer this. The Intelliscope offers you on the fly changing between 1000 DPI and 2400 DPI which will get around this limitation in certain games.”

“The optical sensors have slowly become more and more accurate but now a whole new level of accuracy has become available due to the laser technology.

Cowon iAudio F2: A Music Player or a Phone?
Daily CE :: Wednesday, September 20, 2006
“Call me crazy, but what in the world is this? Generally, Cowon makes pretty decent music players, but I must say, this one looks so out of place and last century, it’s almost sad. While I understand the desperate need to innovate in this iPod-laden world, it doesn’t mean Cowon has to go back to the last century to come up with a new design that’s not even creative. In fact, if anything, it’s downright hopeless.”
