Terratec Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS Reviewed @ BIOS

"Terratec´s latest computer peripheral is no larger than a Swiss Army knifeor a memory stick, yet it provides mobile analogue and digital television.An ideal product for frequent travellers, or those who prefer to use alaptop, the Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS is an ultra-compact (80x30x15mm) tunerthat turns any USB-equipped computer into a TV via a regular house antennaor analogue cable connection. You even get a 48-button remote control andcompact DVB-T aerial, so you´re ready to sit back and enjoy TV and radio onyour computer out of the box. Its hardware features are relatively limited,such as the lack of a Dolby Digital audio decoder and no digital videoinputs or video outputs, but it´s great if you´re looking for a highlyportable USB solution to turn your laptop into a Media Center PC."

Ergodex DX1 Input System @ Bjorn3D

"Q, W, E, R, T, Y. W, A, S, D. Ctrl, Alt, Delete. These familiar key-combinations have emerged from years and years of use of the common keyboard. Designed for efficient typing, the standard keyboard serves its purpose well. What the keyboard lacks is the ability to choose where YOU want to put YOUR keys to best suit YOUR hand size or key-placement needs. Alternate input devices have been around almost as long as the keyboard, allowing for a more customized setup, but none has been able to provide this like the Ergodex DX1 Input System. Allowing for custom key placement for up to 50 removable keys, the DX1 has the ability to assign multiple key strokes to single keys and allows for custom profiles for different applications."

I4U: Etymotic Reasearch ETY COM Headset Review

"Etymotic Research also recommends to moisten the ear tip for best results. Reading this just brought back images from the classic sci-fi movie eXistenZ, I watched the other day. There is one scene where Jennifer Jason Leigh is moisten the bio-port on Jude Law´s back — ugh. This movie is anyway pretty sick with the embryonic game consoles, but it is a classic."

Jackson Armor backup card review @ Xtreme Resources

"Truly there are many software solutions that can help sustain security o­n a computer, yet they are still relying o­n the operating system and that can cause limitations. For example, a fierce firewall may block useful data as well and still is no good if the operating system crashes. The o­nly true data loss prevention solution is a hardware based solution which does not rely o­n any software in order to work and can restore any data instantly. Today I have such a solution for a little check-up, the Jackson Armor card, a very small simple card which can save people from a lot of trouble and, occasionally, money."
