    Toshiba announces 32GB SDHC cards

    I have a few SDHC cards laying around here, capacity of 4GB. With those, I have a hard time even coming close to filling it up in a single session, while shooting 10MP RAW+JPEG. For professionals, I could understand 8GB, but Toshiba blows the doors straight off what we thought was high-end with...

    Kingston 2GB PC2-6400 CL3

    DDR3 might be lurking out there, but DDR2 is still the most popular option for most people, and for good reason. It's fast, and currently, very inexpensive. Although there are many PC2-6400 kits available, Kingston puts a twist on their's by offering it with tight 3-3-3 timings. You can read...

    Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave

    Structurally, it didn't blow me away, but I didn't find it to be that flimsy. I am not sure what DUO you mean, but I haven't found any current keyboards to feel that cheaply made. My main computer uses a $40 wired Logitech keyboard I picked up at some B&M and I find it's been pretty solid...

    Sparkle Calibre P850+ 8500GT 512MB

    It's hardly long, to be honest. I won't mention which sites specifically, but some list out every possible detail in the title, to the extent that it's hilarious. Also, it's better than having some name you need to slow-type to get right: Gigabyte GV-NX85T256H GeForce 8500GT 256MB

    Dreamcast And N-Gage Live On

    As posted in our news:When a console is discontinued, chances are fans will not be so quick to give up on it. In the case of the Dreamcast, it was killed off right in the middle of developing a huge fan base, so it's no surprise to see games developed for it years after it was first introduced...

    As posted in our news:Last week, the internet went absolutely nuts because Skype was down for a 24+ hour period. Who can blame them though? Some use Skype as their primary phone, so if it's down, it could mean a lot of things to them. So what was the problem? Believe it or not: Windows Users...

    Vista... sucks

    I only rant about Vista because I've had issues with it on every single computer I've used it on... including brand-new laptops. I just find it absolutely foolish that so many issues can occur from simple tasks.

    Which camera do you think would suit better?

    The S5 IS is a great camera, I agree. The best part is the zoom. It's also gone down in price since you purchased it... it sits at ~$400 now. I'm reviewing Nikon's P5000 at the moment as well, but can't conclude yet on how it would compare to the Canon. It seems very good for the price though...

    As posted in our news:It's been assumed for a while that Unreal Tournament III would be available for Linux, but it's now confirmed, thanks to a forum posting by Epic Games' VP Mark Rein. I have to say, Epic is one game developer that has a clue. So many companies shun alternative operating...

    Which camera do you think would suit better?

    Well a few things to bear in mind is that the smaller the camera, the worse image quality (more often than not) it will have. IS/VR is nice, but only when you are trying to take a picture of something when zoomed in. If you plan to use a tripod for portraits/group photos or anything like that...

    Which camera do you think would suit better?

    Both are capable cameras, but the second one (Kodak) has a far better zoom, if that's important to you. It's chunkier than the Canon though. Both would offer similar image quality, so, it's really up to what's more important. Size and zoom.
