    Sony Quietly Releases 1.92 Firmware

    From our news: I'll give credit to Sony for one thing... the fact that they are not afraid to release the occasional firmware update for the PS3.

    NBC Begins Selling Programs At Amazon

    From our news: It's been quite an eventful week for NBC. Last weekend, they packed up their things and left iTunes only to launch a whack of media confusion. Why would they leave iTunes? Piracy aside, their just sitting there would make them more money. Now, either this deal happened really...

    From our news: Seeing advertising in video games was only to be expected, but now it's gaining momentum incredibly fast. We posted the other day about Ubisoft's releasing of ad-supported games, and many more are undoubtedly on their way. Personally, I don't mind advertising if it actually adds...

    AT&T Sells Parental Cell Phone Controls

    My sister is too old to be moderated like this, but she sends upwards of 700 - 800 SMS messages per month. If I had a kid like that, I'd likely appreciate a service like this also.

These mice are not perfect, but we...

    Good AMD CPU temperature

    45+ doesn't seem entirely unreasonable... I believe that's what mine usually sits at. If it hit 55C I'd be a little more concerned.

    Sparkle Calibre P850+ 8500GT 512MB

    I wish I could recommend a card for you, but I've never used a 7600GT. I am assuming that it would treat you better when compared to the 8500GT though. As for the Sparkle card specifically, you won't be able to purchase it in North America. Any other 8500GT should treat you well though. It might...

    ASUS Xonar D2 Sound Card

    Thanks again for the quick review Rory, the result is incredible for something that was thrown together in a single weekend. I admit I am not an audiophile, but I appreciate a good sound card when I see one. Therefore, I want this card, badly. I -love- the lit ports in the back. Very sharp. I...

    Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave

    I wish I still had the keyboard here to see exactly what you mean, but I don't recall having much of a problem or thinking that there would be a problem. For sheer speed, I don't think I could ever use such a keyboard though. It would take me a while to get used to. If you want, I can...

    Good AMD CPU temperature

    Anything around the 55C area would be good, although I don't think you will run into any problems hitting or going a little beyond 60C.
