Hello, We’ve just posted our latest review and would love it if you linked it. TIA! “Hull-based networking spe[censored]t Solwise recently extended its line up of HomePlug mains-borne networking products with an 85Mbps HomePlug adapter with three Ethernet ports. Yes, you read that correctly. Whereas most HomePlug devices let you connect one Ethernet-ready device, the VeseNET PLA-85-3PE (£31.64 per plug) lets you simultaneously connect three.” http://www.biosmagazine.co.uk/rev.php?id=775 _____ Christian Harris Editor/Publisher BIOS (http://www.biosmagazine.co.uk) _____

Velocity Reviews have a new review of the Sharkoon SATA Quickport, which allows you to quickly connect a SATA drive to an external docking bay: "Sharkoon have introduced an interesting product for PC enthusiasts that allows you to plug SATA hard drives into an external enclosure – without the need to screw into a drive bay. It looks just like a HDD docking station, you can plug/remove drives at any time and access the data on your PC via USB cable. As computers are upgraded it is inevitable that spare SATA drives will start to mount up, and yet there isn’t enough space to attach them to most motherboards. This solution lets you quickly access drives when required, saving the hassle of swapping drives inside your PC with the power off. You can use 3.5†or 2.5†drives without the need for any screwdriver or tools."

Hello Webmasters and News Posters, NEW CONTENT (Storage) - Super Talent MasterDrive MX 60GB SSD QUOTE: "This last month has been filled with press releases from companies promising high performance solid state technology at prices that are up to 30% less than any of the drives we have previously tested. The cost reduction has to do with memory manufacturers starting to ramp up production of the memory chips used, and according to DRAMeXchange, prices are down 26% for many MLC memory sizes popular for use in SSDs. Super Talent is the first to send us their latest MLC Solid State Drive that takes advantage of the new lower contract prices on memory. The MasterDrive MX Line is available in sizes ranging from 8 to 120GB. Our sample 60GB model is available at Newegg right now for less than 400 U.S. Dollars. Let’s have a look and see how these new low cost Solid State Drives perform against our trusty Western Digital Raptor 150GB and Samsung’s SATA II SLC drive."

Hello, We've just posted our latest review and would love it if you linked it. TIA! "Blue Microphones' Snowflake is apparently the first portable professional USB microphone to hit the market. But more importantly, its retro design looks stunning. Following on from the company's Snowball Professional USB Microphone, the new microphone sports a more portable design - thus dubbed the Snowflake. You can even hang multiple Snowflakes from your ceiling to simulate a snow storm." http://www.biosmagazine.co.uk/rev.php?id=774 _____ Christian Harris Editor/Publisher BIOS (http://www.biosmagazine.co.uk) _____

Those two features make it appealing for use on the go, while the integrated USB hub could be of interest to mobile or stationary users. But while it may operate in near silence regardless of fan speed, you might as well just leave it turned off since it isn't really cooling anything. Thank you. Best regards, Jason www.bigbruin.com

Hello Technology News Community, I4U NEWS published a review of the VOX TV-R HDD Media Player/Recorder. Quote from the review: "Today we are looking at the VOX TV-R HDD Media Player/Recorder. The device allows you to record movies and TV shows from your TV to the VOX TV-R HDD Media Player/Recorder internal HDD. You can also copy files and images directly from camcorder and digital cameras. Once the DVD was playing all you do is hit record and the video is automatically stored to the VOX TV-R HDD Media Player/Recorder in AVI format. After you are done recording your video you can immediately play the recording back. There is a noticeable difference in the video quality between the DVD version and what the VOX TV-R HDD Media Player/Recorder records."

ECS X48T-A mainboard (Intel X48) <http://www.guru3d.com/article/ecs-x48ta-review-mainboard/>'>http://www.guru3d.com/article/ecs-x48ta-review-mainboard/> Typically an X48 chipset based mainboard will start at roughly 250 USD. The two chips the mainboard manufacturer has to purchase from Intel total up towards 90 USD alone. Pretty high-end gear for sure as Intel's X48 chipset brings support for the all new 1600 MHz FSB processors, two 16x PCI-E 2.0 slots, which you can use for ATI CrossFire, two ATI graphics cards and heaps of nice features. I'll spill the beans already for today, you can pickup this product for 199 USD. And it even looks superb. But is it really any good ?

A news post would be great. OCC has published a new review on the EVGA GTX 260 FTW Edition Here is a quote from the review: Quote: "With a factory overclocked video card there is usually not too much left on the table for the enthusiast to gain on top of the speeds the manufacturer has pulled from the silicon. The stock (If you can call it that) speeds of the FTW edition GTX 260 are 666MHz on the GPU core and 1107MHz on the memory. These "Factory Overclocked" speeds are already 90 and 107 MHz higher than the "stock" specifications. It looks as though EVGA left a little on the table when it came to the clock speeds. I was able to ratchet the GPU core up another 96MHz and the memory another 101MHz. This brings the total overclock from the stock settings on the GPU core to 186MHz and 208MHz on the GDDR3 memory. Both of these clock speed increases are huge. By comparison, I was only able to pull 110MHz out of the GPU core and 147MHz out of the memory on the GTX280 I recently reviewed. I guess the EVGA GTX 260 earned its FTW wings today!"

Title: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriots Reviewed ( -at -) TheTechLounge Quote: "Before MGS4 hit the shelves, a flurry of gameplay videos hit the web, and I couldn't help but watch a couple of them. These videos left me deeply worried about the game. Reservedly excited, you might say. The thing that really had me worried was that it seemed the formula might have been modified a bit too much - elements I had loved so much in the previous titles didn't seem to be there anymore. In a way, it just looked a bit like Call of Duty meets Splinter Cell, with some Metal Gear Solid rainbow sprinkles on top. So, after playing the game all the way through (and then some), were my reservations justified?"

TITLE: Silicon Power 64GB SATA Solid State Drive ( -at -) Benchmark Reviews DESCRIPTION: Silicon Power has big dreams, but this a cruel world we live in and being the new name in competitive North American computer industry usually doesn't help dreams come true. Making matters more difficult - even beyond the obvious start-up hurdles - is the latest product focus of Silicon Power: Solid State Drive (SSD) technology. But all of this isn't to say that I don't think they can do it, because there have been many a new name made by fresh companies introducing product with a dramatic improvement over the old.

Clearwater, FL - Mach Software Design today announced a new version of its flagship product, Clipboard Evolved. Clipboard Evolved makes it fun and easy to organize your data in a user-friendly clipboard. How many times have you copied something only to realize you need it again a few minutes later? Unlike most other clipboard managers, which either gives you the choice of a window or a menu, Clipboard Evolved offers both a beautiful clipboard window plus a menu for easy access to copy items. Welcome to Clipboard Evolved. Designed to fit neatly and unobtrusively in Mac OS X, it's the perfect multiple clipboard for Mac OS X. Quick access in the menu bar makes the Clipboard fast to open and get rid of just as quickly. Left-click on the clipboard in the menubar to bring up the Clipboard window. Click on it again to close it. Right-click on the menu bar icon to bring up a menu. Select the item you want, and it is automatically copied. If you have a piece of data you want to copy, just drag it to the clipboard icon in the menubar. The clipboard pops up and you can drag it into which ever clip you want. And with the Clipboard's automatic save feature, you'll never have to worry about losing clipboard data again. Clipboard Evolved offers three different clipboard sizes to choose from: small, medium, or large. With the large setting, the clipboard has over 30 containers for data - plenty of room for the serious professional. Clipboard Evolved also has five different animation options to choose from: Ripple, Copy Machine, Star Burst, Irregular Holes, and Disintegrate. The transition animations use Core Image for photorealistic transitions every time. The clipboard window itself, much like Leopard's menubar, is translucent and blurs the background for a very cool distortion effect. The color and transluency of Clipboard Evolved is custmomizable as well. Features: * Clipboard Evolved has an option that allows you to keep a record of your clipboard history. * You can drag in text, colors, images, files, and URLs into one of the clips in Clipboard Evolved, as well as drag them out again. * You can drag text, files, or images to the menu bar icon, the Clipboard will pop up. * Right-clicking on the Clipboard icon in the menu bar brings up a menu for easy access to copy items. * You can select clips in the Clipboard Evolved window itself and use your normal keyboard combinations such as Command-C to copy, Command-V to paste, and the Delete key to delete the contents of a clip. * You can right click on a clip in the clipboard window to bring up an Edit menu I.e. Cut, Copy, Paste, and Delete * You can set left and right double clicking to copy, paste, or enter text for a clip. * If you like to keep URLs and Files in Clipboard Evolved, these can be opened with a simple double-click.
