    Logitech Cordless Precision PS3 Controller

    To add... both the Playstation 3 gamepad and this Logitech one both work in Linux without any special drivers. So that gives them both a secondary use... game emulators in Linux. Neither work in Windows though, sadly.

    Genius HS-04U & HS-04V Headsets

    Gaming headsets are more popular than ever, so it's no surprise to see such a wide selection available. Although there are some high-quality models available, we found out the hard way that the Genius HS-04U and HS-04V are not some of them. You can read the full review here and discuss it here.

    Heh, I loved that part of the show, if not for anything but the throwback to "The More You Know". Classic.

    SATA Flash Drives

    We were supposed to review one of those in the past... not sure what happened to that. We were supposed to review Super Talent DDR3 as well... not sure what happened to that. /borked record

    Logitech Cordless Precision PS3 Controller

    Welcome to the forums! That's a great point, and one that didn't even pass through my mind. Perhaps it's a triple-edge sword, though. The PS3 gamepad might last three years (I really have no idea the duration of a LiOn battery), but you might spend more on batteries for the Logitech gamepad in...

    Acer Acquires Gateway

    I know of four people who've owned Acer laptops, and every single person has had issues. My friends girlfriend had hers in for repairs three weeks after she purchased it (no lie, I was there to go pick it up).

    Partial PGR4 Vehicle List Revealed

    From our news: I am a huge fan of the racing genre, so I guess you could say I am highly-anticipating the next entry to the Project Gotham Racing series as well. PGR4 drops on October 2, but luckily there is a vast amount of info to peruse to help hold you over until that time. Today, Pro-G has...

    Half-Life 2: 64-Bit - Reason to get excited?

    If you are using x64 Windows, the 64-Bit Half-Life 2 should work right out of the box. Load up the game and look at the corner, it should state the fact that you are running the 64-Bit version.

    Canon EOS 30D?

    I'm a little confused already, as the 30D costs closer to $800 (Body-Only), so pair one up with a cheap ~18-50 and it might hit $950. Then you might have to worry about a speedlight, unless you don't plan to shoot many in-door photos. I recommend any new SLR buyer to hit up a photo store and...

    Vista... sucks

    One, I have no doubts that Mossberg is being paid by Apple. He's said so many extraordinary things about them lately, it's hard to believe otherwise. Second, I have no idea what the old man is testing, but I have never used a desktop PC that didn't achieve a score of lower than 5.0. My main...

In this how-to, you will learn about using rsync and lftp, writing your own scripts and adding them to crontab and of course, backing up to your external storage, NAS and also...

    Cooler Master X-Craft 350 HD Enclosure

    Try a different USB cable perhaps? It sounds like Windows cannot figure out what kind of USB device it is.

    Don't show your receipt? You are not leaving!

    Door people can be a big pain in the ass. I once was leaving a super market with four 18L jugs of water and was asked to show a receipt. Yes I'm sure, I am just going to up and leave a store with four completely massive bottles of water. Give me a break.
