    Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000

    Just to make sure, I believe this is the main driver: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ea22bd62-4873-406a-bbbe-c587d35a53bf&DisplayLang=en If that doesn't work, I don't think I have any more ideas. What you might want to do is plug the receiver in, turn the mouse on...

    Top Five Amarok Tips

    I have Amarok crash occasionally, but not really after a few hours. I sometimes have it open for days at a time without issue. I've also had the problem of losing the collection, but it was after the initial time of adding it. So essentially, I've added it twice. Since then, I haven't had...

    iPhone thoughts

    No, it makes things cheaper and more efficient for the phone companies. Anything to degrade quality and improve $$ they are happy with. Let's just blame the lack of call quality from all the SMS messages that float through the air at $0.15 a piece. I think my sister sends about 700 - 800 of them...

    X360: Forza Motorsport 2

    If I had to choose which console to own if it were only one, it would probably be the Xbox 360 at this point. The PS3 simply doesn't have a large enough game library yet to haul people away from the Xbox. As for AC4, I played the demo a few months ago and sucked at it... horribly. Seemed like a...

    X360: Forza Motorsport 2

    The original Forza was known for its intense realism and car selection. Forza 2 takes all of that one step further and ends up being one title that should not be avoided, despite some of it's blatant problems. You can read the review here and discuss it here.

    2Gb 667 or 3Gb 533 ddr2 ram ?

    3GB on a 32-Bit OS cannot be allocated to a single program, which is correct. However, there is nothing stopping two different applications using 1.5GB each, theoretically. Therefore, 3GB is going to be beneficial if you are a huge multi-tasker. As for lack of speed, 533 and 667 isn't fast by...

    Nikon Coolpix S50c 7.2MP Digital Camera

    Sylish cameras are nothing new, but Nikon takes sexiness in cameras to a new level with their S50c. It's curvy, sleek, compact and feature-packed. It includes a huge 3.0" LCD screen and offers 7.2 megapixel images. Is the smaller frame worth the slight lack of image quality? You can read the...

    Samsung 275T 27-inch Wide-Screen

    I hate Futureshop and wouldn't trust what they say under any circumstances. They are the Best Buy of Canada. That said, their manufacturers code is slightly different than the one I had, so I asked Samsung for their input. $999 for the monitor is a great price though. For once, something is...

    Samsung 275T 27-inch Wide-Screen

    There is no other Samsung 275T other than this one, unless they secretly updated the specs as you said. Where did you get those specs? I will e-mail and ask them what the deal is, but without a source there is not much bother.
