Technology sure moves along at breakneck pace. I remember when I was just a wee lad and could barely achieve playable frame rates with Quake 2 on Windows ‘98. In 2010, advanced smartphones like the Android 2.1 HTC Desire and Samsung Galaxy S allow a 13-year-old landmark shooter to be played in the palm of one’s hand. More »

Most of us are shallow people. We say that appearance is of minor importance, but many of our significant purchases are influenced largely by looks.

Slowly but surely, solid-state-drives are making their entrance into mainstream acceptance. For sometime, higher-end laptops from Apple, Sony, HP, etc. have offered optional SSD hard disks as replacements for mechanical drives, which, due to moving parts, are significantly slower than solid-state storage for random and sequential reading (as well as random writing) speed. More consumers are taking notice of SSD because their benefits are readily apparent: much faster operating system and application boot up times and quicker general response from computers. Unfortunately, the biggest hurdle of SSD (in addition to first generation drives that had terrible Jmicron controllers) has remained its small capacity and high price. While drives are becoming more affordable and bigger, 60-64Gb disks are still in the $150+ range. People like myself have waited for the ideal solution, and with Corsair’s budget Nova series, I think that I have found it. More »

Yesterday, the upcoming Android 2.1 QWERTY smartphone Motorola Charm showed up on an internal screen capture as listing for $269.99 outright and $74.99 with contract. The latter price made no sense to me. It seems like I had reason to be baffled because a new T-Mobile poster indicates that the Charm will be free with a 2-year term. More »
