Whew. *calms down* It appears that many different types of leaks have occurred over the past few days, claiming that "Sonic Unleashed" is en route. Normally, these kinds of rumors are easy to brush off, but there even a video leaked! I have no doubts that some die-hard fans would put a lot of...

From our front-page news: Last week, Engadget posted about an option that Sony added to their TZ2000 notebook - one that you don't see often. For $50, Sony would give you a "fresh start", with equates to a new laptop without all of the bloatware. Sadly, no option exists that would give you a...

From our front-page news: By now, many of you are well aware of the false securities that are imposed by many institutions, including banks, but a new video at Boing Boing further proves the fact that we are are less secure than ever. RFID chips are nothing new, and now, many credit cards, ID...

This blows me away! The popular Windows emulator, Wine, is almost FIFTEEN years old! Believe it or not... in all those years, there has never been a 1.0 version. Instead, it's always been 0.x.xx, despite it being a rather stable application. 1.0 is upon us though... it will hit on June 6th...

From our front-page news:I've posted a few times this week regarding stock of 45nm Xeon Quad-Cores that are becoming available all over the place, but now it's time to focus on the Dual-Cores, since there are many people who are looking for them, but are out of luck. It's hard to believe, but...

Hmm. There's never been a Hyundai to catch my eye. Ever. But the Genesis Coupé really does have the right stuff. Despite the car being somewhat ugly (somewhat reminiscent of the Tiburon), it promises to offer a LOT of power for not much price. According to Autoblog's estimates, the 3.8-liter V6...

External hard drive enclosures are a dime a dozen... kind of. VOX's solution delivers similar features as the others, such as USB 2.0 and FireWire connections, along with some backup software. In the end though, what should be a killer offering proved to be a very mediocre one. You can read...

I have come to the conclusion that picking out a 30-inch monitor is a major ordeal. I have no doubt it would be easier to suck a gumball through a straw, but luckily, I have neither of those things on-hand to test for myself. As I mentioned in the Gateway XHD3000 review thread, I need to...

According to DigiTimes, Gigabyte is going to begin creating their own line of "high-end" PC accessories later this year, which would include keyboards and mice. The first keyboard is due to launch for $113USD, so high-end might be a fitting title. How long before we see something like this...

From our front-page news: Up to now, SSD seemed like an unstoppable technology. The drives are super-fast, ultra-light and incredibly durable. But according to a "large computer manufacturer", return rates on their notebooks equipped with such drives are as high as 20 - 30%. This is staggering...

From our front-page news: The auction that felt like it was never going to end, has finally ended. The FCC-sponsored auction of the 700MHz spectrum hit a staggering $19.5 billion, far exceeding original expectations. As Ars Technica points out, $19 billion was hit in early February, so the last...

From our front-page news:We posted last Monday about the possibility of Intel's 45nm desktop Quad-Cores hitting e-tailers, and as X-bit predicted, it did happen. What we didn't expect though was the fact that the allocations would be incredibly tight, so as a result, it's as though they were...

With the digital edition of the TripleHead2Go, hooking up three LCD's via DVI and VGA is possible. This allows you to drastically increase your desktop space and/or improve your gaming. Best of all, you don't need to add a second GPU, and not even an additional power outlet is required! You can...

I installed the ASUS Striker II Formula this evening, and all seemed to be going well for the most part (a kit of RAM died though). I was installing Vista so that I could run SYSmark and then all of a sudden, the entire machine crashed. I checked the temps in the BIOS to make sure things were...

From our front-page news: Networking gear doesn't catch my eye too often, but the latest release from Apple is rather cool. The AirPort Express is a small device that plugs directly into a power socket, and doesn't seem much larger than a regular cell phone charger. This is built for mobility...
