Seagate Momentus XT - Review By: Alex

We all trying to acheive faster speeds with pretty much everything we do. Just last week I have timed myself depositing some cash in to my bank account from ATM. The whole process took nearly 3 minutes and even that puzzled me as what can be done to speed up the process. The same applies to the hard drive speeds. We are at the point where the bottle neck in the average PC is the hard drive and its speed but everything comes with a price. Buying a SSD could be an expensive task. Depending on the capacity you easily can throw down 300$ for 128 Gig SSD hard drive. Sure the performance is unmatched to the mechanical hard drives but the capacity sure doesn't sound so appealing. Thankfully our friends at Seagate have came up with a hybrid solution, Momentus XT.

Cooler Master Choiix Comforter - Review By: Alex

Like to be comfortable? Who doesn't! I personally have a hard time with my notebook. Typing papers or just simply using it could be a pain. I usually end up working on the table or something straight. We all know that the best place to use a notebook is on the couch or a really comfy chair. The problem comes with notebooks overheating or becoming extremely hot and there is a risk of getting burned of course. There are plenty of gadgets out there which are designed to work with you while you are on the couch and we are privileged to review today a newest member of Cooler Master, Choiix Comforter.

Seagate FreeAgent Theater+ - Review By: Alex

Every now and then you buy a Blue Ray movie and some of them come with "Digital Copy" version of the movie. Watching it on the computer screen is not as fun as on the 50 inch Plasma TV. How about the home made movies? Still connect your camera to the TV or burn dvds? Isn't it about time to step up and get a media server system? Sure but how much would that come up to? You are looking at lump sum of about 400$ for all the parts for a media system. There is another solution. Don't you wish there could be a cheaper way to access all those home movies and music files from one simple system? Now there is.

Eagle Arion ET-AR506-BK - Review By: Alex

Every one is trying to cut back on the expenses now a days. So on the budget shopping is becoming an art. When it comes to the audio systems picking the right one could be a difficult task as well. Just about a year ago Eagle Tech USA has released Arion ET-AR504LR-BK 2.1 Soundstage. You can find our review of this system right here. The system was a success as it has great value for the low price. Today Eagle Tech USA has released a new version Arion, ET-AR506-BK 2.1 Soundstage.

Droid X Takes Pot Shot at iPhone 4 Case Situation
July 30, 2010, 4:10 pm Posted by: admin
Pants optional.

Motorola has rolled out another Droid X ad poking fun at the Apple iPhone 4 "design compromised" antenna.


Like the last one, it's a full page ad for newspapers, but this time it's drawing attention to the fact that it doesn't require a case for the antenna to work at its best.



"At Motorola, we believe a customer shouldn’t have to dress up their phone for it to work properly.  That’s why the DROID X comes with a dual antenna design.  The kind that allows you to hold the phone any way you like to make crystal clear calls without a bulky phone jacket.  For us it’s just one of those things that comes as a given when you’ve been making mobile phones for over 30 years."

Windows 7 SP1 public beta now ready for download
July 14, 2010, 10:16 am Posted by: admin

Slightly ahead of schedule, Microsoft has dished out Service Pack numero uno for Windows 7. The hot-selling OS has been a revelation since its release and it's therefore no surprise that this update pack does nothing remarkably new or important. It collates all of Microsoft's patches since launch into a neat little (well, not really, it's 1.2GB in size) package and throws in a few other hotfixes to boot. Microsoft treats its betas rather unceremoniously, however, so don't expect any support with this thing until it goes final -- which we're hearing might not be until early 2011. We'd say that's a long way out but it's not like Windows 7 isn't treating us well enough already. Hit the source to obtain the download, if you must.

iPhone 4 also features a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, HD 720p video recording, Apple's A4 processor, a 3-axis gyro and up to 40 percent longer talk time-in a beautiful all-new design of glass and stainless steel that is the thinnest smartphone in the world.

Pro-porn Group Puts Porn on San Francisco iPads
June 11, 2010, 9:30 am Posted by: admin

Steve Jobs may have promised the iPad would bring us a world free of porn but it turns out not everyone is so jacked up happy about that idea. Shocker, I know.


With WWDC going on in San Fransisco right now, the city is blanketed in Apple fans and iPad billboards. A group calling themselves Freedom from Porn decided to take advantage and pasted new x-rated screenshots onto all the iPads in Apple advertisements.


The screenshots include a racy version of Steve Jobs' Facebook profile. Among the porn stars on his friends list are shared videos from Steve along with status updates like:


"I woke up this morning and was browsing the internet on my iPad when I came across this amazing video of two women kissing. It's going to change the way you masturbate."



LOL who saw this comming?
