When we hear of any new and hot cooling technology that could allow us to use the new four-core processors to their full potential, we listen. With the introduction of “Black Ice” cooling systems into Dell computers, we can see that the full power of a Core 2 is yet to be seen. With rumors and speculation showing that “Black ...

If you were waiting for the Xbox 360 to drop in price, don’t hold your breath. One way that manufacturers are able to make their consoles less expensive is by reducing the size of the CPU die.

What we really care more is that we won’t miss any programs that we want, and we want them recordable, cheap, anytime and anywhere. Well, recently USB digital TV tuners ...

Here’s a really Samsung thing to do, they tend to “borrow” ideas and remarket them. Just when we thought that we should give a “new company” another chance, they ripped off LG- their domestic enemy- with the Chololate-wannabee E900.
