Old Software: Gone, But Not Forgotten ( -at -) OSWeekly.com "As crazy as it may sound to some people, it’s entirely possible to become attached to a computer program. We can all name the applications that we enjoy using the most, but our relationship with them doesn’t always springboard into some foolhardy devotion. When it comes to your software collection, if you can take it or leave it, then you know that you’re not in a helpless situation."

New Ubuntu Version Fixes A Lot of Linux Problems ( -at -) OSWeekly.com "Hardy Hero, a new version of Ubuntu, was announced a little while ago, and the features for this release of Ubuntu are actually rather compelling to me. Because Gutsy only wowed me on two levels - a better wireless stack and the inclusion of tracker by default, here’s some of what I would like to see with Heron."

Touchscreen Spells Doom for Blackberry ( -at -) CoolTechZone.com "Touchscreen is the must-have feature in latest cell phones, particularly smartphones. And the world?s two most celebrity companies going head-to-head against each other are obviously Apple and RIM. Apple?s iPhone has been called the Blackberry Killer, and RIM?s newly announced BlackBerry Bold is called the iPhone Killer. Such comparisons are meaningless, but they make for interesting reading. Although Bold doesn?t have a touchscreen, rumors are swirling around RIM and its Thunder device that?s slated to compete better against the iPhone, and yes, with touchscreen."

The Dead Future of MP3 Players ( -at -) CoolTechZone.com "Things are eerily quiet for MP3 players. Other than Apple?s iPod and Microsoft?s Zune, there?s not much going with portable audio players, and it?s a little awkward. Sure, cell phones, particularly smartphones, have captured away attention from music players, but it?s still a little disappointing to see them go ignored. Just a few years ago, they were the latest rage with video playback capabilities, text and image viewing features and much more. And interestingly enough, Apple is to credit, or blame, for much of these trends."

Hello Webmasters and News Posters, NEW CONTENT (Casing & Cooling) - ABS Tagan BZ900 900 watt Power Supply QUOTE: "While we have been impressed with some of their earlier offerings, these folks have taken their power supplies to the next level by offering a power supply that they claim is not only top notch, but also has a new look that is more than a little interesting.

A news post would be great. OCC has published a new review on the Saitek Cyborg Command Unit Here is a quote from the review: Quote: "When you take a closer look at the command unit, you can see that the top four buttons are "F1" through "F4" and directly next to the "F" buttons is an LED backlight switch that allows you to either have red, green or yellow as your backlight color. Unfortunately, the red LED line on the bottom of the unit stays red no matter which setting you have the LED backlight on. The keys are very easy to push, almost too easy. Right above the joystick is a screw that you can tighten or loosen to keep the joystick in place, because Saitek allows you to move the joystick further or closer to your hand. I have big hands, so for me, the best setting was furthest away from my palm."

Title: iGo powerXtender review ( -at -) DragonSteelMods Review Link: http://www.dragonsteelmods.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=7618&Itemid=38 Review Snipit: "The iGo powerXtender battery operated charger uses two AA batteries and interchangeable tips depending on which types of devices you own.

Title: 10+ Things I Learned With my First DSLR ( -at -) TheTechLounge Quote: "It strikes me as pure poetry that the acronym for point-and-shoot is POS. Wait, no, it's not. That would have been apt. The first time I borrowed a friend's Canon 20D, I was hooked. Taking product shots went from a detestable any-excuse-to-put-it-off event to something... simple? Fun? Remarkably, taking pictures changed from something that I sucked at to something I could really get into. And, just like that, I started shopping around for DSLR bodies."

Vienna, Austria - Eternal Storms Software is very proud to announce the immediate availability of the public beta of flickery - a flickr.com client for the Macintosh. flickery takes advantage of many of the new features Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard offers to provide users with the best experience possible. Browse all of flickr's photos, view and comment on pictures of your friends or upload and manage your own photos and favorites. flickery lets you do all that with style. flickr.com's web interface is pretty nice, but we thought it was about time someone brought flickr to the Mac. flickery's minimalistic interface lets you focus on what's most important - the photos. It also gives you great feedback on what you're doing, like adding photos to favorites or sets. flickery offers three ways of viewing photos: the miniature-overview of the photos where you can see multiple pictures at a time, the full-window-view which lets you view one photo at a time in better detail and lastly, the full-screen view which lets you really enjoy flickr's photos. Uploading photos to your flickr.com account is a bliss, as well. Create a snapshot with your iSight, choose a picture from your hard drive or make a screenshot, it's all up to you and all included in flickery's interface. It also gives you the possibility of editing your photos before you upload them - crop them , rotate them or add a nice effect to them. All in all, flickery is a brand new experience for working with flickr.com Pricing and Availability: The public beta of flickery will run until June 30th, 2008 and is free for everyone to try. Feedback is encouraged. flickery requires Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and comes as a Universal Binary. A internet connection is required. A flickr.com account is recommended, but not necessary.

Their focus is currently on making quality freeware applications - in the past, they've released GimmeSomeTune, an allround iTunes-controller with artwork- and lyrics-fetching abilities and HierarchicalDock, which brings back hierarchical menus for folders in Leopard's Dock - amongst many others.

Digit-Life Review: Overclocked GeForce 9800 GTX Graphics Card Excerpt: "We should state once again that GeForce 9800 GTX is based on the same G92 core as GeForce 8800 GTS 512 and 8800 GT (the latter has fewer processors though). It differs little from 8800 GTS 512, as our tests have proved it. But today we are going to examine two significantly overclocked cards. So, even though both feature reference design, they are still very interesting to review." Article: http://www.digit-life.com/articles3/video/g92-7.html A post on your website would be appreciated!
