    Haha, no kidding! I basically refreshed the forums and you had replied to this.

    Logitech offering a deal a day

    In celebration of its 30th anniversary, Logitech is offering one product sale per day straight through to November 1. Unfortunately, this has already been going on for two weeks, but I didn't notice it before. But, there might still be a couple cool products that will come up...

    Ok, its that time again. Halloween.

    Mad Hatter? Hah! I don't celebrate Halloween like most holidays, so I won't be dressing up. If I did, I'd no doubt go dress up as Anonymous using those V for Vendetta masks. Seems to be the in thing this year.

    Sonic Generations Coming to the PC

    As a big Sonic the Hedgehog fan, I hate to admit that it's been ages since I last bought a new release. Nowadays, it takes a special kind of ambition to get me to turn on a console, as I'd rather just load up a game on the PC. It's for that reason that Sonic Generations has my interest. When it...

    NVIDIA Shows Off PhysX in Batman: Arkham City

    A PhysX comparison on both cards would have gone a long way, I think. Chances are that the PhysX effects on the 8800 GT / 9800 GT just isn't possible for performance's sake, but with no direct apples-to-apples comparison, it's hard to see the true differences. The same thing applies to NVIDIA's...

    Beer Thread!

    No, all I did was look the town up on Wikipedia, which gave me a figure of about 25K people. I didn't look at a mapping site because I was too slow on the draw to think of it ;-) I hear you on the beer choices though. I don't often go to restaurants around here, so I am not sure what's on tap...

    Beer Thread!

    I had to look up your town on Wikipedia to get an idea of it, and it surprised me that someone here lives in a smaller town than me (mine is about 100,000 people). I often get people who are surprised to learn that so few people live in my town, but they tend to live in cities where the...

    Beer Thread!

    I took a walk earlier this week to get some fresh air, and before I knew it, I was at the beer store. Impossible to resist, I went in and picked up a bottle of Czechvar (5.0%) and Erdinger Weissbier Dunkel (5.6%) - both about $4 for 500ml. Being a pilsner, I didn't expect to love the...

    Vuvuzela in Team Fortress 2!

    I happened upon the Steam page for Football Manager 2012, and couldn't help but notice that this game, like 1,000 others, is offering bonus items in Team Fortress 2 for pre-order customers. There's special clothing and even a football... but best of all, there's a... vuvuzela...

    Manipulating Floating Objects with 'Quantum Levitation'

    The idea of floating objects that can be manipulated in mid-air has long been something left to science fiction, but the researchers at Tel-Aviv University have just shown off an amazing example of this called "Quantum Levitation". We're not only dealing with a floating object that can be moved...

    AC Ryan's X-Men contest

    AC Ryan is holding a contest where after doing a few small tasks, you'll be entered to win a trip to New York to take part in some stunt work like real actors do in the movies. In this case, X-Men. http://www.acryan.com/community/xmen/ Seems to be open worldwide, as nothing in ther terms...

    SanDisk Sansa Clip Zip & Fuze+ Audio Players Review

    I'll be honest in saying that I didn't know either company was still that active in the MP3 player market, as our local stores have a limited selection (Apple and SanDisk are the biggest, with some off-brands I've never heard of). Creative has a couple of good-looking models (the ZEN Style...

    NVIDIA Shows Off PhysX in Batman: Arkham City

    After its release in 2009, Batman: Arkham Asylum gained the reputation of being one of the best superhero games ever created (but to be fair, it shouldn't have been hard to pull off given most superhero games are not worth the packaging wrapped around them). The game not only had solid graphics...

    SanDisk Sansa Clip Zip & Fuze+ Audio Players Review

    The smartphone might have taken over the bulk of our digital lives, but there's still room for the dedicated audio player, be it for working out or just wanting a convenient option. SanDisk has long offered some of the better, easier-to-use players with its Sansa series, so let's see how its...

    ZipZoomFly is no more

    I haven't been keeping up on e-tailers lately, but I was a little surprised to see that ZipZoomFly is no longer in business. http://www.zipzoomfly.com/ The website just shows that it's under maintenance, but reading into things further, there seems to be a lot of people who purchased...

    Canon Introduces New Flagship Professional DSLR, EOS-1D X

    Looking for the 'ultimate' DSLR camera? It pains me to say this as a Nikonian, but it's Canon that has the right to that title, with its just-released EOS-1D X. Replacing both the 1Ds Mark III and 1D Mark IV, the EOS-1D X is designed to suit all sorts of professional shooters. It's faster, even...

    SandForce Pins Down Firmware Bug Behind BSoD Issues

    Well, that didn’t take long. SandForce SSD users will be happy to learn that the company has reportedly been able to duplicate and resolve the longstanding, if uncommon BSOD issues that have plagued select users of the SF-2281 controller. Read the rest of our post and then discuss it here!

    Epic crash in F1 2011

    That's a good recommendation. The full F1 races might help also if you monitor how a lot of drivers handle their car. Even so, it's challenging. Perhaps a wheel would be a little better for no assists, but I seemed to spin out way too easily, and the game just wasn't fun. For the true F1...

    Managing Your Files on Android with ES File Explorer

    Our mobile phones might just be simple computers, but that doesn't mean that a little file management won't be needed every now and then. Be it that you need to move a file or folder from one place to another or you need to search for one, a file manager is going to make things a lot easier...

    The loss of a Visionary: Steve Jobs Passes

    Nah, it's just that the app tends to produce similar music. You're not alone in thinking that though... most people think it's the Zelda music, haha. It's just a synth that's manipulated with your finger, and as it has a rather somber tone (at least with how Jordan is using it), it seems to...
