I4U: Splitfish 3D Shutter Glasses for Sony Playstation 2 Review

"The Splitfish eyeFX 3D is apparently the only real 3D adapter for the Sony Playstation 2. I could not find any other accessory like this on the market. Splitfish found some way to get existing games display shifted images to generate a 3 dimensional picture when viewed through the shutter glasses. The effect is quite amazing."

HIS IceQII Radeon X800GTO Turbo PCI Express Videocard Review @ Tweaknews.net

"The X800GTO from HIS in my point of view would be a perfect performance mainstream oriented gaming card that will handle any current game on the market and will easily toy with most games when overclocked. The overclocking potential in this card is fantastic and seeing that HIS has strapped on such a great cooling solution, you can squeeze out every last Mhz without turning your card into a peripheral cinder..."

Plagiarism by Anandtech @ NGOHQ

"Today, I was having my best day of the month, first I met a very fine lady and when I came online and one of our staff members sent me a link. At that moment, the best day of the month became the worst day of the month. I saw that AnandTech, yes, AnandTech, one of the more popular hardware websites on the web, took some material from one of our articles. It took me exactly five milliseconds to identify it."

LG GSA-2166D USB 2.0 Super-Multi DVD±RW /RAM @ CDRLabs

"Unlike previous LightScribe drives, the GSA-2166D can write to both DVD+R and DVD-R media at 16x. At this speed, it took the drive less than 6 minutes to write an entire 4.7GB DVD. The GSA-2166D also performed pretty well with DVD-RAM media. However, its Z-CLV writing method put it at a disadvantage when writing to DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs. On top of that, it would not erase or packet write at anything faster than 4x. The GSA-2166D was able to redeem itself somewhat in our double layer DVD+R recording tests. Thanks to its 8x writing speed, the drive took less than 18 minutes to burn 8GB of data."

Kodak EasyShare One Digital Camera Evaluation @ Designtechnica

"Wi-Fi is all the rage. It's moved from geeks to mainstream, especially when a hardly cutting-edge company like Kodak introduces a Wi-Fi- enabled digital camera. The EasyShare One lets you email pictures from the camera and connect to the Kodak EasyShare Gallery (formerly Ofoto) using the 802.11b protocol. Once on the site you can alert folks that you have images to share and access all of your images. Kodak is working with T-Mobile so you have 6,000 hotspots across the U.S. to choose from to beam your images to the outside world. Or if that's not your cup of latte you can simply beam photos to your Wi-Fi enabled laptop or printer. The new 4-megapixel digicam goes beyond offering wireless connectivity. The camera has 256MB of internal memory so it holds up to 1,500 images, making it a portable digital photo album. It also has a huge swivelling 3-inch touch-screen LCD for framing and reviewing your Kodak moments."

Legion Hardware - (OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 Platinum)

"The demand for DDR2 memory is beginning to pick up and is expected to rise phenomenally in the first quarter of 2006. This time frame is just around the corner, so what is going to change between now and then that will boost interest in DDR2? Well to put it plainly, AMD is going to change. The first quarter of next year will see the introduction of AMD’s Socket-M2 processors. The Socket-M2 will be the very first AMD platform to adopt DDR2 memory technology."

Creative HN-700 - Noise Cancelling Headphones @ TrustedReviews

"Obviously the big question is whether the noise cancelling works or not and I’m glad to say that it not only works, but works superbly. I did a little test in the office by standing underneath the air conditioning unit - this is a particularly noisy bit of kit that produces a similar kind of rumble to the engine noise in an aeroplane. Flicking the noise cancelling switch on the HN-700s completely eradicated the noise, cocooning you in an ambient noise free zone. I also tried them on a tube train and although the bangs and clacks still broke through, the ambient rumble was completely gone, allowing you to listen at a lower volume level."

OCZ 2GB Rally USB 2.0 Flash Drive @ Bjorn3D

"OCZ is all about top performance, and who can blame the company for focusing on what enthusiasts want? When OCZ's performance-obsessed product managers decided to enter the crowded USB flash drive market, they decided that they wanted the performance crown. Forget about fancy utilities and extra bells and whistles; they wanted top performance, plain and simple."

Inno3D 7800 GT @ PureOverclock.com

"Overclocking both the 7800 GT and GTX is a little bit more complicated than usual. This is because there are three different clock speeds to deal with - the vertex, shader and ROP clocks and these are all controlled by the root clock. The root clock is the one you will be tweaking in overclocking tools such as ATI Tool or Riva Tuner. When you adjust the root clock, you actually adjust these three clocks."

Corsair 2GB XMS PC4000 Platinum Review @ Techgage

"Corsairs back, and they have delivered the fastest memory we have ever tested! Clocked at DDR500 speeds and 3-4-4-8 timings, it's quite fast on it's own. Add on the large amount of overclocking headroom, and these modules have serious potential."
