    Asus Eee

    I think the name is ridiculous. Almost as bad as the Kia Cee'd in the UK. However, the device serves a purpose I guess.

    ASUS board with no memory slots

    I would understand it better if the board was more for workstations or pure stability, but it's catered to the enthusiast crowd. It doesn't make much sense at all, but I might still get one of these in, just to see. The problem I feel is that if a ram stick dies, you have to RMA the entire...

    Anyone paying attention to E3?

    Seeing as how E3 is now an invite-only event, I seem to have been ignoring it for the most part this year, although there are a slew of games I cannot wait to come out: Tony Hawk's Proving Ground Project Gotham Racing 4 NFS: Pro Street (Much <3 for NFS series) Gran Turismo 5 Wipeout (It's...

    Prius drives 400,000km in 24 months and pays for itself in 12.

    Bad Religion

    After No Substance, they seemed to change a little bit, but overall they are still pure BR. The New America was a superb album, but unlike any of their others. The newer one seems to have a few tracks that cater more towards the mainstream crowd, but whatever gets more listeners I guess. It's...

    Bad Religion

    If anyone here is into punk rock, then you should check out the latest album from Bad Religion, which the band has uploaded in it's entirety at MySpace. Yes, it pains me to link there. Couple of my favorite songs are Scrutiny, Prodigal Son, Lost Pilgrim, Requiem for Dissent and every other song...

    DXG-506V Digital Camera

    Expensive cameras are not for everyone, but everyone does want a camera with ample qualities to get the job done. DXG realizes this and as a result, they have released their 506V digital camera. To call it a digital camera is an understatement though, as it can act as a web cam, MP3 player and...

    Vista... sucks

    I think it's bullshit that you have to call up customer service for a product you legally own, irregardless of what you are doing with it. You paid for it, so what if you redo the PC? Why should you have to call up and wait on a line to get it fixed again? This brings me back to the rule where...

    AMD Dual core price cuts

    NCIX has the X2 6000+ for $194.00 Canadian, which is VERY nice for a 3.0GHz processor. Intel Core would still outperform it at the same frequency, but for those who value high memory bandwidth, then the AMD might be a good choice. Just imagine how excited the community at large would have been...

    Buying a car from a different Country?

    Damn, $1,000 on a ten year old car? That's harsh. I've decided to just buy in Canada... I don't want to risk anything. Chances are I will still buy new, but if I happen to want to buy used I will look into things deeper, or find if it there is an estimator somewhere that will predict what duty...

    Vista... sucks

    I think by now everyone is well aware that I despise Microsoft's latest OS, but this morning I added a new reason to the pile. Last night I set up the machine for benchmarking, which required installing XP, Vista and then Fedora. All went well. I configured each OS before shutting down for the...
