A-Data Releases Wicked Looking Tri-Channel DDR3-2133X Kit
Posted 12/17/2008 at 03:17:31pm
Voltage required is 2.05-2.15V?! That's incredibly high for a DDR3 kit - most DDR2 kits max out at that voltage. I would have expected them to atleast get somewhat tighter timings at that voltage. It seems to me that they are just pushing for the highest clock speeds even if those have virtually no tangible benefits...

LED Street Lamps a Brilliant Idea, But Will Lack the Charm of Gas Lamps

Hmm... that is an interesting problem, one that we don't have down here in Texas. My guess would be to put a separate heating element in the lamps that only comes on when needed.

Might I recommend a review of the Acer AL2216Wbd and the ChiMei 221D? Both of those panels are well regarded among budget 22" buyers, particularly the Acer. I'll be very interested to see how they fare in your DisplayMate tests.
Hands-on with Microsoft's New Sidewinder X5 Mouse and X6 Keyboard
Posted 08/21/2008 at 09:14:04pm
I'm very interested in this keyboard design. Lately, I've had bad luck with lighted keyboard, with both of mine having the paint wear off the keys. I trust Microsoft and Logitech to make somewhat better products. But the biggest sell for me is the detachable numpad, which is very useful because I have limited desk space. I can just stow it away when I'm not using it (which is 99% of the time).

Creative Aurvana X-Fi Headphones
Posted 01/29/2008 at 10:35:26am
These headphones are so bad, the author is clearly in self-denial. In his overwhelming urge to resist the truth, he has created a fantasy review which would normally rate around an 8. With his last ounce of sanity, however, he managed to change the rating - just the rating - to its correct value, right before he passed into the coma induced by the headphones.
