    Sony's A900 Packs 24.6 Megapixels Under the Hood

    From our front-page news:I have to admit... whenever I think about cameras, Sony is one of the last companies to come to mind. It might not be for good reason, though. The first time I ever laid my hands on one of their D-SLRs to take it for a spin, it felt cheap, and really didn't impress me in...

    Audio Archiving Guide: Part 1 - Music Formats

    This article turned out great, Matt! I'm a FLAC man myself, although I keep a carbon-copy in MP3 320 kbit/s also, for whenever I need my music to be mobile. I am not really sure of the appeal of other lossless formats, though. Apple's I can maybe understand, but Monkey's Audio seems to be an odd...

    A new contest using Deuce!!!

    Still not a single thing done about this? It's blatantly obvious that he's responsible for skewing every-single result. They should just disqualify him from the running and let everyone else actually have a fair chance at the content. Not to mention whoever's running the contest should stop...

    AMD Launches Mainstream HD 4600 Series

    From our front-page news: By now, I'm sure most everyone is aware that AMD's latest graphic card launches are stellar... something NVIDIA really wasn't expecting. Up to now though, all cards launched have been higher-end and pricey (although that's change a -lot- since launch with the HD 4850)...

    HP Promises 24-Hour Battery-Life with New Technologies

    From our front-page news: Ask any mobile warrior for their biggest complaint about computing on the go, and the answer will be, without fail, "battery-life". The issue becomes worse as your craving for power increases, and some of today's popular notebooks (15.4" and upwards) suffer with less...

    AeroRacer Chassis Delivers Maximum Airflow with 400mm Fan

    From our front-page news: I'm one of the furthest things from being a 'chassis guy', but once in a while a news item will hit my inbox that actually makes me stop to look. When I saw the words "400mm side panel fan"... you bet I had to investigate. Such a chassis comes from a company called...

    Intel Roadmaps Shows Lack of CPU Launches in 1H 2009

    That's a good point. I must've been getting Larrabee information leaked into my Westmere information, or something.

    Using a keyboard

    I highly recommend you check out Ronald Jenkee's YouTube page: http://www.youtube.com/user/ronaldjenkees When I first listened to him, I was addicted. I bought his album and coincidentally just listened to it a few minutes ago (hence why I'm thinking of it). He also uses a combination of a...

    Do Monster Cables Actually Serve a Purpose?

    Of course. It's just too bad that so many e-tailers trick inexperienced consumers into purchasing their cables every-single-day.

    How-To: Punch Oasis In The Face

    Alright, I don't often find Cracked.com articles funny (this might be the first), but this article is well-worth a read: In Canada yesterday, Oasis star Noel Gallagher was attacked by a fan who leapt up on stage and pushed him over. The show came to a halt for 15 minutes or so while the two...

    What a way to kick off the football season!

    Hah, I'll have to look later. For whatever reason, that site doesn't support Linux. The ad (surprise surprise) shows just fine, but once it's finished, "You need Windows and Firefox with the Windows Media Player plugin". Good stuff. As for which level of football, I am just basically getting...

    PURE (ATV Racing Game)

    I found some free time to kill last night, so I downloaded a new demo on the Playstation store for the game 'PURE'. It looked quite similar to Motorstorm, but with the focus on tricks more than just racing. All racing is also done on ATV's, unlike Motorstorm which uses a variety of vehicles. I...

    Microsoft Launches Third-Gen Zunes, Software Receives Major Updates

    From our front-page news: Sure, Apple's about to launch a few new iPod's, but what Microsoft wants you to know is that they've launched their third-generation Zune, which sports a brand-new design and form-factor.

    Samsung YP-K3 2GB MP3 Player

    Are the discs in separate folders? One thing to make sure is that they are properly tagged. Make sure the track numbers are in the filename and also in the ID3 tag... that can be done with your MP3 player. I have had the same issue with my Sansa and am unsure if I actually ever fixed it. The...

    Duke Nukem Movie in Initial Planning Stages

    From our front-page news: I'll admit that I am not a huge movie buff, nor do I care about movies based off of games, but I'm willing to make an exception for this one. According to Kotaku, a Duke Nukem movie is in the works, but we are in the very early stages now, so don't expect it to hit the...
