Warioware: Smooth Moves Review (Wii)


"I have to admit that I was skeptical of Wario Ware: Smooth Moves. The demo looked stupid, the box looked stupid, and the art looked stupid too. In case you get my drift, the whole game looked completely rediculous and I wasn't sure why I even wanted to check it out. Within moments of popping in the game - I found out."

Beginners Guides: Converting Videotape Into Video Files @ PCSTATS.com

"As you may have noticed, the VCR is a dying technology. DVD players are now equivalent in price, and their disks have practically crowded VHS tapes right off the shelves of your neighborhood video store. Give it another three years and you may be hard pressed to find a new release on tape. So what happens when your VCR finally breaks?"

CES 2007: D-Link & Creative @ ThinkComputers.org

“D-Link has a large booth at CES and they are showcasing a number of products. The first of which that I was able to get a look at was D-Link's DSM-510 which was released 5 weeks after development was completed because the engineers were so happy with it. Also Creative had a lot of products but most of them were product demos so it was a bit difficult to be able to talk with someone about a particular product, but I was able to talk about Creative's Zen Vision W portable media player.”

HighPoint RocketRAID 2340 Controller – Supporting 12,000GB of storage

"Today we are going to take a close look at one of HighPoint’s very latest controllers and it’s one of the most impressive ones we’ve looked at so far, the RocketRAID 2340. Coming in at a little under $500 USD, it’s certainly not a cheap product but its feature list is neither short. Using special Mini-SAS connectors, it allows you to add up to an extra 16 SATA or SATA II hard drives to your system and run in a range of different RAID modes including 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and JBOD. In fact, it has not just one but two controller chips on the card, which is powered by the PCI Express x8 slot for plenty of bandwidth throughput for extreme storage requirements."

Gigabyte H971 Home Theater PC – HDMI, C2D and Loads of Style!

"The newest HTPC design to come out of Gigabyte is the “H971” and it improves on the now somewhat outdated H663, in quite a few ways. The new version is a little bigger and implements a new style which is modern and subtly sophisticated, brings support for Core 2 Duo through the use of the Intel G965 chipset, adds in HDMI and HDCP support by means of a GeForce 7600GS graphics card and generally just brings it more up-to-date with the technology you’d expect this year.

Strap yourself in – if you’ve been looking to build or buy a stylish HTPC system for your lounge room that will last you for many years to come, read on. We’ll take a close look at the Gigabyte H971, what’s inside the system, how it looks on the outside and how it actually works as a home entertainment system along with what it is capable of doing - such as, if it can playback HD-DVD movies."

We're all so different, yet all the same. HuntKey, a Chinese company let us test drive their 500W Power Supply"
