    Having fat friends.. makes you fat

    I am trying to eat healthier lately, so I keep a good eye on the nutrition factor of most foods, and the reality hit me like a ton of bricks. It's no WONDER there are so many fat people. A can of Pepsi for example, has something like 150 calories and 40g carbs... That's enough in itself, but...

    Tesla to produce 800 cars in first year

    I am in agreement with both of you. The battery-life would no doubt be the biggest issue with the car, but with all this support, that should only improve. It's a car you could take out around town, but you wouldn't want to travel to the next city with it, for the exact reason Stork mentions. It...

    FilePlanet, Whats with this mentality?

    I usally grab any of my stuff from GamersHell, if I happen to ever need something. The only 'gaming' website service I subscribe to is IGN, because I love HD interviews/trailers/gameplay and such. I used to sub to GameSpot, but their site is an absolute pain in the ass to navigate. I agree...

    Tesla to produce 800 cars in first year

    According to Cnet, Tesla is planning to release 800 of their electric roadsters in their first production year. At $98,000 a piece, that could end up being near $80 million in overall revenue. Leno recently reviewed the car and was impressed overall, and even managed to compare it to his 1909...

    Having fat friends.. makes you fat

    The answer, the researchers report, was that people were most likely to become obese when a friend became obese. That increased one's chances of becoming obese by 57 percent. There was no effect when a neighbor gained or lost weight, however, and family members had less of an influence than...

    Seagate pulling out of IDE market

    Seagate plans to cease manufacturing IDE hard drives by the end of the year and will focus exclusively on SATA-based products. Seagate is the first major hard drive manufacturer to announce such plans, though others will likely follow suit as SATA continues to sap PATA's market share. According...

    Nikon D40x 10.2MP Digital-SLR Camera

    Up until recently, Nikon's line-up has had many gaps. This past March though, they released their P5000 advanced point-and-shoot camera alongside their D40x D-SLR. Today we are taking a look at the latter, which turns out to be a fantastic offering for those looking to take the plunge into...

    Literally... insane...

    It's the ASUS Blitz Extreme board. I'll have a review later this week barring any unforeseen occurrence. Like it blowing up, which I've had the luck of happening lately.

    Edifier MP300 Portable Speaker System

    Here’s a look at a nifty speaker system that looks like it jumped off the pages of a Sharper Image catalog. Edifier’s MP300 is one of the smallest speaker systems we’ve ever seen, but can it deliver a rewarding sonic experience despite its size? You can read the full review here and discuss it...

    Logitech G9 in the wild?

    You are lucky I think, but as Greg found out in the past, it seems to depend on the mousepad you are using as well. On the fUnc Archetype, it dies every single day, without fail. It lasts a day and a half on the Ratpadz, and two days on the straight desk.

    Hummer Owner Gets Angry Message

    On a narrow, leafy street in Northwest Washington, where Prius hybrid cars and Volvos are the norm, one man bought a flashy gray Hummer that was too massive to fit in his garage. So he parked the seven-foot-tall behemoth on the street in front of his house and smiled politely when his...

    OCZ 2GB PC2-7200 SLI-Ready Edition

    Ahh good to hear man, please let me know how you make out with it. I've never used the Strike Extreme, but have heard excellent things about it.

    OCZ 2GB PC2-7200 SLI-Ready Edition

    For SLI-motherboards, I'd lean towards the eVGA 680i a tad, because it's a superb memory overclocking board. However, my personal copy hasn't been able to go beyond 450FSB. Though not a problem at all, I originally couldn't go beyond 350FSB, but once the P27 BIOS was released, I was smooth...

    OCZ 2GB PC2-7200 SLI-Ready Edition

    Orthos and those other applications think you are using a higher CPU frequency because it can't tell that you are using a different-than-default multiplier. It's usually nothing to worry about. -Usually-, CPU-z will report the proper frequency. As for the voltage, don't worry about that... CPU-z...

    Logitech G9 in the wild?

    The G7 is a great mouse. I just hate that it needs it's diaper changed every, single, day.

    How stupid can one be?

    Seriously? It goes without saying that talking whilst driving (let alone texting) isn't exactly the safest practice, and unfortunately for a British teenager, she could have four solid years to think about it. Rachel Begg, who was found to have used her cellphone nine different times in the 15...

    OCZ 4GB PC2-6400 Platinum Edition

    Like a fine wine, installing 4GB of RAM requires an acquired taste. Not everyone likes wine, and not everyone needs 4GB of RAM. However, with Vista and the future looking to change that, many are considering a move on up. Today we are taking a look at a kit that's not only priced right, but has...
