    Turning your iPhone into a handheld gaming device

    Hah, if you are going to go that far, why not just use your PS3? I can't imagine anyone bringing a separate controller with them anywhere. At that point I'd just pick up a PlayStation Vita or something and have a dedicated device that does games better.

    Piracy to Blame for Falling Music Sales? I Don't Think So

    Blockbuster has sucked forever, not going to miss them. I haven't rented a movie in ages though... can't even remember the last time. Blockbuster didn't jump online nearly as fast as it should have, and that's what's killing it today.

    Thierry Henry = Epic

    In 2007, Arsenal legend Thierry Henry left for Barcelona, and it sucked. Never did I imagine that he'd end up making a return to Arsenal years later, and when I heard that he might be playing the game today, I had to go sign up for some football site (Setanta) to make sure I could stream the...

    Nokia Unveils Lumia 900 at CES

    This past October, Nokia unveiled what it touted as being the first "real Windows Phone", the Lumia series, featuring Windows Phone Mango. At the time, an unfortunate fact was that the top-end model, the Lumia 800, wasn't to be made available in North America. But a fix for that takes little...

    NETGEAR's WNDR4700 Targets Apple's Time Capsule; Packs in 2TB

    There are sure to be many interesting products unveiled at CES this week, although things do seem to be starting off slow. The first product to catch my eye isn't ground-breaking in any real way, but it brings enough to the table to warrant a look. It's the WNDR4700 from NETGEAR, the follow-up...

    Show off your desktop!

    One of my best friend's is much like this... hasn't configured a single thing as far as I'm aware in his OS X installation. He might have even changed the background color to a flat color :D

    Turning your iPhone into a handheld gaming device

    I think this thing looks ugly as sin, and I'm not sure how spot-on a Bluetooth connection would be for gaming, but the iCade is an interesting product nonetheless: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5337/ion-audio-expands-icade-lineup-with-icade-core-icade-mobile-and-icade-jr

    Monster announces headphones at CES... kind of

    More proof that all Monster products are nonsensical. http://techcrunch.com/2012/01/09/monster-wins-ces-with-with-feathers-and-spikes/ I heard a rumor somewhere also that the company is supposed to be unveiling SSDs at the show also, but I haven't seen actual reporting on it.

    Cooler Master Cosmos II Full-Tower Chassis Review

    Huge, feature-rich cases are nothing new, but the Cosmos II from Cooler Master becomes one of the best - if not <em>the</em> best. The company touts it as being an "ultra tower", and after shoving lots of high-end hardware into one, we'd have to agree. But despite its mega-size and plethora of...

    GIGABYTE Urges X79 Users to Update to 'F7' BIOS in Light of Issues

    This seems to affect no one except hardcore overclockers, which means that unless you are using LN2 or something to overclock, you don't have anything to worry about. Given what that article says, it kind of sounds like the guy didn't know what he was doing anyway.

    Logitech Announces 'Cube' Mouse & Presentation Device

    It's been proven time and time again that a computer mouse doesn't have to look like a computer mouse - as long as it's functional. But the best-ever example of this might come from Logitech with it's just-announced "Cube". The mouse, which is certain to be shown off at CES next week, features a...

    Piracy to Blame for Falling Music Sales? I Don't Think So

    The decline of music sales is a trend that's showing no end in sight. The UK experienced a 6% drop in overall sales during 2011, and it should come as a surprise to no one that the blame is going straight to piracy. Given other recent trends, however, I feel there are many other (legal) reasons...

    Star Wars: The Old Republic - First Impressions

    This month I celebrate playing Asheron's Call for 10 straight years, so yes, I agree :D

    GELID Solutions Releases its First Chassis: DarkForce

    GELID Solutions, creators of CPU coolers, thermal paste, fans and other cooling accessories, has just entered the ultra-competitive chassis market with its DarkForce mid-tower. Part of the company's already-established GAMER line, the DarkForce's claim to fame is its focus on cooling - as...

    Retrode 2 Allows You to Play SNES & Genesis Games on Your PC

    PSX emulators for the PC are quite good, so you might want to check them out sometime. ePSXe can read straight off of a PS1 disc or a ROM ripped to the PC. Have played many a game this way. I have played the Atari 2600/5200 but mostly to see what they were like way after-the-fact. There's...

    Star Wars: The Old Republic - First Impressions

    Haha, I'm good. I gave my copy away to someone! ;) Seriously, I play two MMOs now, I sure don't need another :D

    Star Wars: The Old Republic - First Impressions

    What's the max level in the game? 50 like in most other new MMOs? Watched a video review of the game the other day, looks pretty solid.

    WOW Question!

    I wish I could help here. Not much of a Warcraft fan.
