    Sony Announces 11" XEL-1 OLED TV In Japan

    From our front-page news: An OLED TV may sound like a product that would be a ways off, but not the case at all. Sony has announced the SonyDrive XEL-1 in Japan, an 11-inch screen that features a 960x540 resolution and an incredible 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. The downside is obviously it's...

    Atari 2600 Celebrates 30 Years

    From our front-page news: Ahh, who could forget the Atari 2600? The console came out before I was born, and I never really had much experience playing with it while growing up, but it's hard to dispute the effect that it had on the videogame industry. If you have one in your closet, dust it off...

    Are $7,250 Cables Better Than $80 Cables?

    From our front-page news: I am no audiophile, I have no shame in admitting that I might not notice a few sound quality differences in selective listening tests. However, true audiophiles can recognize the benefits of higher-end equipment, but how about $7,250 for speaker cables? If you have the...

    Cross-Border Computer Shops

    I don't think I've received shipments from FedEX that I have owed money for, but 90% of the packages I received from UPS I do have to pay duty for... even a few review samples that are of no value. I hate UPS... they've screwed me over far more than once. If ordering from the US, I'd go with...

    Nvidia 9800 Rumors

    That is just a little too hard to believe. Built-in audio chip? What good would that have in a graphics card?

    DigitalLife 2007: On The Showfloor - Part 2

    I walked away from the Gateway giggling like a schoolgirl, so at this point I have full intentions of picking one up. The upscaler would come in handy, because as I mentioned in the article, I play a game at 1920x1200 that looks horrible when upscaled on the Dell. This Gateway really fits the...

    DigitalLife 2007: Gateway Unveils The "One"

    Antonio, Before Apples began running Windows, no one considered a Mac to be a PC. The word "PC" was automatically associated with Windows machines, at least with the people I've grown up talking to. When I compare a Mac to a PC, I am referring to the fact that a PC doesn't run Mac OS X. Most...

    DigitalLife 2007: AGEIA's Mobile PPU, Warmonger, UT3 Mod

    DigitalLife 2007: Gateway Unveils The "One"

    I don't need to do a 1+1. We are not likely going to agree on anything. You confide in people who I consider to be severely overrated journalists (Mossberg, Pirillo), so we are not bound to ever agree. I don't think a scale goes low enough to accurately show how much I care about what those two...

    DigitalLife 2007: Gateway Unveils The "One"

    I am unsure why you constantly compare new products to anything Apple makes. The One is not a Mac competitor directly. You consider the fact that it runs Vista instead of Mac OS X as a downside... but what do you expect? Is Gateway supposed to emulate OS X on the One to please you? Seriously...

    DigitalLife 2007: Gateway Unveils The "One"

    After months of speculation, Gateway finally unveiled their One "all-in-one" PC. Once out of the box, all that's required to get up and running is a single power cord. We had an opportunity to take a good look at the machine today and relay our thoughts here. You can read the full article here...
