    CES 2008: Cars

    You are assuming you can afford the babes as well ;-) Heh, car shows are great. I don't remember so many cars at the last CES, but it could have been that I bypassed the entire hall altogether. The same would have happened this year if I wasn't dropped off there by accident. The great thing...

    CES 2008: Cars

    Sure, the tech is great, but one of the coolest areas of CES was the North Hall, where all of the cars, car audio and babes were found. We found over fifty sweet rides through our travels and have pictures of each - everything from modest classics to the latest exotics. You can view the entire...

    OCZ's Neural Impulse Actuator On Track for Release

    From our front-page news:Most companies stick to one product-type, which can be a good plan or a real bad idea. For most hardware companies, such as OCZ, Corsair, Mushkin and the like, branching out is a smart move since it targets more people than just the usual hardware-enthusiast crowd...

    Microsoft Shouldn't Purchase Yahoo!

    From our front-page news: Microsoft should purchase Yahoo!, or should they? That is the question. Ars Technica takes a quick look at the facts and come to the conclusion that a merger would be a bad idea. It all depends at how you look at it, though. Microsoft could use help right now, and...

According to EMI, sales of their albums have dwindled by 20% in the past year, and as a result, they are laying off 2,000 of their employees to...

    From our front-page news: After last weeks resignation of Warner Brothers from the HD DVD camp, things have not been smooth for Toshiba. It's at this point when things are beginning to look really bad for HD DVD, but Toshiba has no intentions of going down without a fight, so naturally...

    Zelda Gamers Earned $1,150 for Child's Play

    From our front-page news: Growing up, I played a lot of games, including Zelda for the NES straight through to Ocarina of Time. But, I never thought to use my addiction for some good, like these folks did. The premise is simple: Play through four Zelda games in a 48-hour period while raising...

    Proposed Canadian "iPod Tax" Dropped, Eh!

    From our front-page news: It's not too often we can publish good news that actually has to do with legalities, but today is the day. It's been proposed for some time that Canadian's should be charged a secret "tax" on a media player purchase, such as an iPod. Buying the highest-end iPod would...

    Gizmodo runs amok with TV-B-Gone at CES

    The TV-B-Gone remote will turn off just about any TV with an active LED port, and that’s basically what Blakeley did. He made his way through CES, turning off televisions and ruining presentations and exhibits left and right. The Motorola Press Conference in particular suffered from his actions...

    Samsung SyncMaster 2232GW Wide-Screen

    Crucial 2GB DDR2-1066 Ballistix Tracer

    This is a common misinterpretation. CPU-Z and other CPUID tools will discover the kit as being 400MHz (DDR2-800), because it has to adhere to JEDEC standards (though sometimes companies will go beyond regular spec). The kit is sold as DDR2-1066, however, so it will work as such. You need to...

    Samsung SyncMaster 2232GW Wide-Screen

    I am not sure when this monitor came out, but many manufacturers have exclusive deals with certain B&M stores, which is why the monitor might only be available at Circuit City for the time being. Gateway is another company that does this, with Best Buy, and it sucks. I'll check in with Samsung...

    Dell UltraSharp 2707WFP 27-inch Wide-Screen

    This can be said about most displays. Even most televisions will support non-HD resolutions, but movies/games still look amazing. I am not expecting a computer monitor to display HD video perfectly, but I have compared numerous displays in the past and simply stated what's better. For the...

    C-Media 8788 for Linux

    As per recommendation in our ASUS Xonar D2 review thread, I acquired a card to see how it worked under Linux. As it stands, the CMI8788 driver is 99.5% complete, according to the developer, with the USB-based soundcards being the weakest link right now, it seems. I have an ASUS Xonar D2X...

    Dead, Nadda.......??

    Not sure what motherboard this is, but are all power connections in place? Some motherboards have a spare 4-Pin connector on the board that needs to be plugged in prior to it functioning. If everything is in place, then it could be a bad motherboard.

    Solitaire

    I used to have a friend who used to impress friends with his uber Freecell skills. He used to load up the exact same game number each time... because he memorized how to beat it within a minute. Of course, no one else knew that he had prior knowledge of the card layout.

    Your Top 2007 Music?

    Good choices Matt, though I've still never listened to In Rainbows yet. As for stealing music, I purchased over 100 albums during 2007, including the ones mentioned in the top fourteen. The RIAA can kiss my ass.
