    Can you drink milk?

    East Asian = women of oriental descent. Chiefly China, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, and Vietnam. 25 to 50 percent of Asians possess a gene, inactive aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2–2) (Cook and Gurling 2001; Lieber 2001), which causes them to metabolize alcohol differently from people who...

    Apple Updates iTunes to Version 9, Introduces iTunes LP

    Even the 32 Gig one is enough for me in terms of video content. Then again Archos has had 160 GB+ media players on the market for quite some time.

    Can you drink milk?

    East Asian women are actually the least tolerant of alcohol or any demographic. Use this information wisely...

    CM Storm Sentinel Advance Gaming Mouse

    If it was only designed for the left hand, would it still lose "a star or two" as well? It's a good mouse for right-handed people, and they could really get some fans by making a left handed one soon. But I can understand with the initial manufacturing cost, it might not be cost effective...

    Lucid's Multi-GPU Solution Out Next Month

    Wow, had no idea that such tech was in the works. The biggest advantage of lucid is the "almost perfect scaling between any number of installed cards" as mentioned in the previous article. Now the only question is what's the added cost to have lucid installed in your system. Will we come to...

    First Good Review of ATI Radeon HD 5870

    Xbit labs has a pros and cons list. As you can tell, they didn't find much wrong with the card. :) Highs: * The highest performance among single-processor graphics cards; * In most cases outperforms Radeon HD 4870; * In some cases outperforms GeForce GTX 295; * Doesn’t depend on software...

    Is the Archos 5 the Killer Media Tablet?

    Yep, definitely trying to resist getting it this holiday season. Could drop a few hints to the SO. :)

    Apple Updates iTunes to Version 9, Introduces iTunes LP

    Macman. I found some more information on the Data center from zdnet: http://www.zdnetasia.com/techguide/techmanagement/0,39044902,62057633,00.htm The author also has some guesses as to what the data center would be used for:

    Apple Updates iTunes to Version 9, Introduces iTunes LP

    So all in all a big thumbs up for ITunes? I have not liked ITunes in the past, but since I don't own any apple products, haven't had any use for it. I was thinking of getting an Iphone but the ITunes was a big reason (along with the absurd AT&T contract) that I didn't. Maybe I should give...

    First Good Review of ATI Radeon HD 5870

    I think we can expect Nvidia 300 series Q4 2009 - Q1 2010. A quick search on Google didn't reveal any dates set in stone for the Nvidia. Nvidia is in a tough position though. The biggest selling point for the 5870 is that it supports DirectX11. In terms of performance, the 4850, 4870, GTX 285...

    Intel Core i7-870 & i5-750 - Nehalem for the Mainstream

    It also depends on what your needs are, especially if you're on a budget. If you want the best value on a gaming system, it's better to splurge on a graphics card rather than the CPU. AMD has very good value in the mid to mid-high CPU market.

    Upgrading the HP dv2 to Windows 7 Home Basic

    I looked it up and it seems it's a common bug. Windows did the right thing by issuing a Release Candidate, they should have many bugs fixed before the retail release.

    Is the Archos 5 the Killer Media Tablet?

    Looks beautiful, sleek, powerful! I have some concerns about the touch screen (resistive touch vs the Iphone's capacitive touch) but I can see myself buying this. In contrast, the Archos 9 Tablet PC seems like a big misstep. Replacing the keyboard with a touch screen only further enhances the...

    US ranks 28th for Internet speed

    Because that would be faster than anything I have seen personally. My school's computers max out at 6MB per second. Residentially, the fastest option people have available is FIOS and that tops at 5 MB per second.

    Upgrading the HP dv2 to Windows 7 Home Basic

    Great! I think you'll find it much faster than Vista. And of course if you run into any problems at the IDF, there will tons of tech wizards around to help you.
