Crushing Apples
Do you ever remember a time when Microsoft was cool? Have they ever really been cool? Microsoft has always been a company of functionality at every budget level. In recent times, Apple has had an all out commercial campaign to belittle Microsoft. There may be no other match up that has gone decidedly one way like this. In their most recent advertisements, Apple claims to be the most prefferred computer among college students. Is this true?...

If you thought about it, Umbrella corp needed computers to start up the Nemesis project. Projectalice, one of our members, has graciously given us an idea of what they could have looked like.
Originally named "ProjectAlice" is took the name Nemesis. So far his paintjobs and lettering are amazing.
Keep a watch out for this guy, he's going places! Check it out Here!

Even if your not a Rock fan or even a music fan, you can definitely still appreciate what Drumthumper has started to churn out in the depths of his workshop.
I had the privilege to ask him some questions about his "Frankenstripe" mod to find out some more about what is the Frankenstripe.

The next generation of photo printing is knocking at the door. Are you ready?
Polaroid, the company that made its mark a long time ago with quasi-instant photography, is ready to finally jump into the digital age with the introduction of the PoGo. While it is small in size, it has the potential to become a very large powerhouse piece of machinery.

News is good for AMD as the Federal Trade Commission has opened a formal probe into Intel’s sales tactics. For years it has been rumored that Intel has been intimidating computer makers into using only Intel processors. AMD has claimed that Intel has made side deals and has threatened computer companies into buying more Intel chips in hopes of cutting AMD out of their fair market share.

This is a review on the game No More Heroes on the Nintendo Wii. No More Heroes is rated “M” for mature, 17+. This game is most likely the bloodiest game on the Wii and is not family friendly.
Note: There will be no pictures in this review because of the "M" rating. I figure it is best to leave them out. There will be a link at the bottom if the review to the game's website where you can find pictures and videos. Let’s begin!

Despite a few "hiccups" in getting started, I don't think I could have enjoyed a racing wheel anymore. The build quality of the system is amazing, and it is an absolute joy to use. As far as peripherals have gone this probably the closest to instant gratification I've ever gotten...

Just when you thought they were out for the count, AMD is back with a brand new just-for-mobile processor. Yes, that's right, AMD's first mobile-only processor. Along with the release of 'Puma' (Turion X2 Ultra) AMD and their partners will be releasing a mobile chipset and wireless chipset. Intrigued? Read on.

Lets jump right in and start with the basics. We bought this at Circuit City back in Febuary for $299.00. It's a DSLR type meaning that because you can't change lenses, it's not a true SLR. However, all the SLR options such as F Stop, Shutter speed, manual focus, and ISO levels are available for you to change and tweak at your leasure...

ASUS introduces the new EN9600GT Matrix. This card is more than just a midrange buck saver. The heatsink has been designed to cool the card passively during normal computing and movie watching, and only turn on when needed during a gaming session. Not only is it designed to keep things quiet, but it looks good too. Black cooler on a black PCB, and take a look at the heatsink. Form meets function with a sleek design and cool lines. Check it out in the forum or read about it here.

Shortly after the Wall Street Journal posted their story that Dell was going to jettison the XPS line of computers, CEO Michael Dell and company have refuted these claims.
Quote:
Dell XPS and Alienware are both great brands...and both will live on. But we are going to expand our focus on Alienware. We are going to invest like crazy in product development, design, and engineering to propel Alienware as the premier gaming brand in the future.

This power supply is about as good as they get. Tons of power, lots of cables, it is modular, and very stable voltages. The only real drawback is the price. Other than that I have nothing bad to say about this power supply. It is a must buy for those who have insane systems that require massive amounts of power.

Trouble is brewing on the horizon, and if it pans out like the pundits think it will, it bodes extremely well for AMD. Early reports show that Intel and Nvidia having some problems working out licensing between Intel's next generation chipset/motherboard combinations and Nvidia's proprietary SLI...

Tired of those wimpy little 4.7GB DVD's storage capacity? Is the 25GB storage capacity of the Blu-Ray disc just not going to cut it for you? Well looks like the Call/Recall company have the same thing on their minds. Call/Recall has teamed up with the Nichia company. Nichia is the company responsible for co-developing the violet and blue laser diodes that Sony uses in the Blu-ray drive...

Although you cannot actually download anything yet, you can pledge that you’re ready to help them break the record here. Over 540,000 people have already pledged, but I can imagine this number will grow significantly in the following days. You can even see how many people have pledged from each individual country on a nifty world map, as pictured below...

Nothing much has come of the merger of Dell and Alienware back in 2006.
Alienware is known for its premium quality computer systems for the Elite gamers/users since its creation.
Dell has been known to pump out computers faster than Toyota does with cars.
Dell, before the Alienware merger, had come up with their gaming solution in their product lines. Dubbed as the "XPS" series, they were to be known as Gaming Machines.
Aquiring Alienware and keeping the XPS line however seems a bit silly. It almost creates a double identity...

Thin is in
So MacBook Air came in and surprised a lot of people with its ultra thin look, but with a lot of compromises. Fueling the fire was a viral video of the unveiling of the Air as it was pulled from an envelope. Luckily for Apple, far too many average users, especially of the Apple super-cult are fooled by gimmicks. The MacBook Air might as well...

Forum Mod Eclecticos has got a new camera and wants to share the world what he thinks of it. It's a review of the DXG-589v 5.0MP camera that has a whole SHLEW of features.

Naw, I'm just messing, it has a ton of recording features and playback features as well. Comes with a nice full rotational screen so you can shoot yourself without missing and it has the ability to direct connect to your tv for some Media Player action!
Definitally worth your time to check it out. Here's the link : LINKY!
