OCC wants you to check out their latest review on the Razer Diamondback 3G gaming mouse. With seven buttons, this slender mouse can be customized to do quite a bit. "It’s got the standard Razer logo printed on the top of it and on the underside you can see the feet that help it glide on surfaces. The sides of the mouse have gripping railings on them and either side also has two customizable buttons." Take a look. We know that all SD memory cards don't offer the same transfer speeds. But that isn't the only way to compare them. Driver Heaven has uncovered the A-DATA 2 GB microSD Trio. The card provides three-in-one flexibility. But what does that mean? There's only one place to go to answer that question. Hot Hardware took on the Ultra X3 1000 watt energy efficient modular PSU. With its slick finish and almost silent fan, the reviewers seem pretty impressed by its overall look and feel in addition to its performance. Check out the entire review and see if you agree. |   |
| Dave Mirra BMX Challenge Doesn't Make the Cut
Friday, October 12, 2007
Driver Heaven has another game review for us. This time around its the Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX for Wii. The PlayStation One version of Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX was met with positive reviews so hopes ran high on this one. Unfortunately, it didn't quite make the cut. "It’s tragic to see one of your past favorites be absolutely slaughtered, but the developers at Crave had no mercy when they created the abomination known as Dave Mirra BMX Challenge." Find out why right here. | |
| Hardware Logic Gets Upgraded
Friday, October 12, 2007
Hardware Logic has often brought us some great reviews of PSUs in the past. It's all about to get better. They've since revamped and upgraded their lab to "to include a FAST AUTO ATE 828/4500 system capable of load testing PSU units into the kilowatt range." This puts them in a tiny niche of reviewers with similar equipment and with it the capability to produce even more quantitative reviews. Read all about it here. | |

| SPH-P9200 Still Making the News
Friday, October 12, 2007
The SPH-P9200, which features a VIA C7-M processor, is hot news at the moment since the specs were leaked out onto the Internet from its Korean manual. Ars Technica gives you a rundown of what this beautiful new UMPC with the swank folding keyboard runs on. "This is a move away from the seemingly more common flash-storage that UMPCs like the Asus Eee PC offer. Personally, I think for these units to be really, "ultra-portable," flash storage is the way to go since they're more rugged and consume less power." Check it out for yourself. | |
| The Ultimate Data Protection
Thursday, October 11, 2007
If you thought the gold in Fort Knox was well guarded, this might change your mind. slashdot.org has posted an article on security measures adopted by certain businesses for their data centers. Far beyond the lock and key method, these facilities are out in the middle of nowhere: underground. "The 65,000-square-foot, five-story site is dug deep into the ground. No one gets in without passing though the 4.5-ton steel door and then a three-step process. A scanner uses radio frequency to read the would-be entrant's skin as a biometric identifier. He then needs to use a keycard and enter a code on the keypad." Fascinating stuff. Get it all here.
