Hello, OCIA.net has posted their review of the Thermaltake BlacX SE Hard Drive Dock. Below is a direct quote from the review: "For testing, I used two programs, HD Tach and HD Tune, to test the write and read speeds of the drive in the dock. For reference purposes, the drive used was a 3.5" Maxtor 320GB, 7200 RPM SATA Drive. During testing, I was curious to see how having USB devices plugged into the hub would affect drive performance as they share the same USB bus to the computer."

Hello Everyone, We're writing to let you all know that we have just posted a new article at HotHardware in which we evaluate the new Asus Eee PC 900. As most of you know, due to the success of the original Eee PCs, Asus followed up with numerous accessories and multi-colored models in the months after their initial release. The follow-up units were essentially identical to the originals though, save for the different colored enclosures. The first really major change to the Eee PC line-up would be the Eee PC 900, which was just introduced about two weeks ago. Although the new Eee PC 900 and Eee PC 700 series machines have similar hardware foundations, Asus has tweaked the 900 in a number of meaningful ways including a bigger screen, a multi-touch touchpad and more storage. Head on over to the site and check it out...

Foundations of Mac OS X Leopard Security book now available - Published on 05/29/08 California based publisher Apress, Inc. has just announced Foundations of Mac OS X Leopard Security. This 429 page volume, available as eBook and in print, offers detailed descriptions, step-by-step instructions, as well as command-line examples, and best-practices are presented for the home user or the enterprise security architect. Berkeley, California - California based publisher Apress, Inc. has just announced Foundations of Mac OS X Leopard Security. This 429 page volume, available as eBook and in print, offers detailed descriptions, step-by-step instructions, as well as command-line examples and best-practices are presented for the home user or the enterprise security architect. Some of the examples and walkthroughs in this book come from the authors' work in the field, perfecting hundreds of such procedures over the years. Some of the examples, though, are new, written just for this book, based on their feedback from the community. By default the Mac is a pretty darn secure computer. But many of the things that you do to the computer after you turn it on for the first time can increase or decrease how secure it is. This book is about security from the perspective of a systems administrator, or a Mac User, once you turn on that computer. For some, this means securing your personal machine, your home, or your small-business network from attacks. For others it means securing your enterprise from corporate miscreants. Whatever environment you are protecting, the principals are the same: provide the least amount of access that is required while maintaining a satisfactory measure of usability. About the authors: Charles Edge has been working with Apple products since he was a child. Professionally, Charles started with the Mac OS and Apple server offerings in 1999 after years working with various flavors of Unix. Charles began his consulting career working with Support Technologies and Andersen Consulting. In 2000, he found a new home at 318, a consulting firm in Santa Monica, California which is now the largest Mac consultancy in the country. At 318, Charles leads a team of over 40 engineers and has worked with network architecture, security and storage for various vertical and horizontal markets. Charles has spoken at a variety of conferences including DefCon, BlackHat, LinuxWorld, MacWorld and the WorldWide Developers Conference.

William Barker is a technical consultant at 318 and a freelance writer. He has a penchant for all things Web 2.0 related and is eagerly anticipating the day that he can wash his dishes and take out the trash online.

He also wears a musician hat from time to time, making music: as a DJ, playing guitar, playing piano and mixing CD's for friends. He lives in Venice, California with his trusty automobile, Lucille. Zack Smith has been working as an IT consultant his entire adult life. He has consulted for insurance companies, entertainment companies, medical organizations, and governmental agencies.

Hardware Canucks is pleased to present our review of the new QNAP NVR-1012 Network Surveillance System. Article URL: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/7404-qnap-nvr-1012-network-surveillance-system-review.html Quote: The market for Internet Protocol (IP) based cameras has literally exploded with the advent of cheap, readily available home networks and inexpensive yet relatively good cameras. The one problem that has plagued numerous IP camera setups is the fact that they have the interoperability skills of a psychotic maniac. This is where QNAP enters the equation with their user-friendly NVR-1012 system.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Ruby Lin Corsair (510) 657-8747 press ( -at -) corsairmemory.com CORSAIR LAUNCHES NEW DOMINATOR DDR3 2000MHz 4GB MEMORY SOLUTION AT COMPUTEX Fremont, CA, May 29, 2008 - Corsair® www.corsair.com, a worldwide leader in high performance computer and flash memory products, today announced that it will launch a new 4GB DOMINATOR DDR3 memory kit running at 2000MHz at CompuTex 2008, held June 3-7, 2008 in Taipei. Tested and guaranteed for operation at the lightning fast overclocked speed of 2000MHz, this 4GB DOMINATOR kit provides superior performance for desktop platforms. "Corsair is focused on building the industry's fastest memory available in the largest densities," said Richard Hashim, Director of Marketing at Corsair. "This new ultra-fast DDR3 4GB DOMINATOR solution demonstrates Corsair's commitment to lead the memory technology transition from DDR2 to DDR3 and from 2GB solutions to 4GB solutions.

This allows DOMINATOR modules to achieve industry leading overclocking performance while remaining stable and reliable. Gamers and enthusiasts know that there are significant performance benefits with 4GB of Corsair memory featuring DHX Technology. Corsair's test findings, available at www.corsair.com/4GB, demonstrate these performance benefits so crucial to gamers, including faster frame rates, loading times, and task switching of up to eleven times faster.

Hi all, We have just published a review of *Boom Blox* for the Nintendo Wii. If you could post a link on your site that would be very much appreciated. *Link:* http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/2008/05/29/boom-blox/1 *Picture:* http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2008/05/boom-blox/fp_img.jpg *Quote: */"With all that said though, there are a few weak points in Boom Blox which perhaps limit how much fun you can have with it. The first and most damaging flaw is the length of the game because after only a few hours of gaming we¡¦d already finished nearly the entire Explore mode and were making a decent dent in the Adventure side of things. The other thing to bear in mind is that, like all puzzle games, //Boom Blox will frustrate you as much as it¡¦ll keep you entertained. Playing through the Chemical Blox campaign in Explore mode was something we did with ease until about the eighth level, at which point we got stumped for more than an hour. Lots of swear words were uttered before we eventually got a gold medal. Still, it¡¦s all very much a minor chink in the armour of //Boom Blox and this is definitely one of the must-have family games in our opinion. As a party game it may play second fiddle to the likes of //Warioware, but if you¡¦re after something to play on a week night when you don¡¦t need a bottle of tequila to have fun then this is definitely the game for you. The combination of fluid controls, screaming chickens and huge explosions is a sure winner."/ * *Cheers guys! Tim Smalley www.bit-tech.net

Hi all, We have just published an editorial titled *Dumbing Up Gaming*,* *which discusses the issues faced by game developers and publishers always having to dumb down games. If you could post a link on your site that would be very much appreciated. *Link:* http://www.bit-tech.net/columns/2008/05/29/dumbing-up-gaming/1 *Picture:* http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2008/05/dumbing-up-gaming/fp_img.jpg *Quote: */"Recently someone tried to make a game out of protein folding. The idea was that if you could make an accessible fun game out of it, you could effectively get lots of people to process real data for free, and contribute towards a worthwhile goal. Great idea, but do we have to assume the game needs to be massively simple in order to catch on? I'm sure a lot of biochemists play computer games, why must we assume they are incapable of learning a complex game? You can take a lot of great game ideas, and then dumb then down to the lowest common denominator and make them boring and dull, that's a given. There are some great game ideas though that you just can't dumb down before they fall apart. Right now that means the game doesn't even get out of the starting gate. I've heard of games flopping because the marketing sucked, budget problems, piracy and poor design but I haven't heard about any big games failing because they were too highbrow. Yet nobody is even trying to make those games. In some ways it's all the fault of our old nemesis, the rocketing game budget. Rack up a four million dollar wage bill, and you need to sell a LOT of copies to break even. Selling just to biochemists won't cut it any more, you need to aim at the wider audience. But if you avoid the technology arms race and do a lower budget game, what kind of games could we make?"/ * *Cheers guys! Tim Smalley www.bit-tech.net
