The Warrior XXtreme could be the best gaming keyboard solution we've ever seen, but the only way to tell is to go hands on with it and see how it handles.

Via's on the CPU warpath today, announcing a new line of 64-bit 65nm processors, dubbed Isaiah. The little Bible-themed chip-maker that withstood the AMD-Intel duopoly where others, like Transmeta, folded, is claiming that their new architecture, developed in conjunction with subsidiary Centaur, is four times as…
Nokia, you've done it again. As usual, the Finnish mobile phone kingpin has produced the kind of innovation and "wow" that we've come to expect with its latest patent request: a virtual keyboard. That's right, until now we've had to suffer the indignation of using a physical keyboard, vainly hoping that one day a…
This morning, AMD announced three new additions to its Radeon HD 3000 series: the HD 3450, HD 3470 and HD 3650. We have a look over what new features these cards bring to market, and also point out what isn't quite so new. Source: http://www.bit-tech.net
Every so often, we get wind of a mysterious gaming rig that's so powerful, so mighty, that the entire world just has to see it. Unfortunately for most, this particular one will remain a pipe dream, primarily due to the UK's impeccably strong pound and America's woefully weak dollar. Source: http://www.engadget.com
Man, it looks like all these display keyboards are finally going from vapor to reality -- United Keys, which has been pimping various versions of its Display Keys product since 2005, has just announced that it's signed a deal with FoxConn to build a gaming keyboard with several OLED function buttons, and thats it's…
Gold plating and a Philips PNX0103ET audio processor create what iriver calls an "assassin's mace" of a device. Sure, Cute. Simple. Friendly. Now add Opulent to the tagline too -- at 元888 Chinese Yuan (about $123) you'll be looking at a 100% or so markup over their standard 1GB Mplayer. Source: http://www.engadget.com

It takes a lot to differentiate a given vacuum cleaner in today's high-tech world of Dysons and Roombas, so kudos to Samsung for attempting to appeal to the gaming crowd by designing a model shaped like a popular Xbox character. The Silencio SC9540 packs in all the high-end features you'd expect from a TV manufacturer…
There's something kind of odd going on here that elevates this one beyond your common variety WTF and into the hall of fame of ill-advised fakery. What we have here is a pocket-sized scale, with a cover that makes it look exactly like an iPhone -- until you look a bit closer and see that somebody did a rework of the…
Can't wait for that MacBook Air to arrive in two to three weeks? (Please let it be two.) Some folks over in Tokyo got a chance to unbox the thing from its official box, and slide it into a couple envelopes for dramatic effect. Looks like classic Apple packaging, and classic Apple hype. Two tastes that taste great…
Given the Meizu M8's not-so-faint resemblance to another semi-famous handheld, you'd think trying to get a patent on the design would be fairly fruitless -- but it looks like the company's giving it a shot anyway. Source: http://www.engadget.com
Got myself an АSUS EEE PC and did some braging here and there. As a result of that I got a request to write a review. At first I was not very keen on it but at some point decided to go for it. Although this is my first attempt at this kind of material, I hope that my oppinion, even being not absolute and unique, to be…

It's pretty safe to say that Portal was one of the best games released in 2007. For those of you who can't get enough of it, our mega-modder Wolverine has a treat for you. It's time to work with your Weighted Companion PC - cake not included. Source: http://www.bit-tech.net
Although plenty of Radeon HD 3870 X2 pictures have found their way onto the internet, there has been relatively little to look at when it comes to cooling. CHIPHELL has managed to get hold of some nice close-ups, which you can see below. Based on initial impressions, the cooler doesn't look too impressive, but at the…
The new Lenovo product will probably threaten Apple MacBook Air very soon. At first sight we understant that the new ultra slim Lenovo X300 series distinguishes itself with 13.3" display with 1440x900 resolution and LED backlit, 1.13 kg, optional 3G or WiMAX, Intel Merom Santa Rosa Dual Core CPU 2.0GHz (800MHz FSB,…

Truth be told, Teclast's M30 seems be to a real looker at first, but we're knocking off a few style points due the complete absence of originality. All it takes is a simple glance at the unit's predecessors to realize that the outfit isn't exactly going out on any limbs to innovate. Source: http://www.engadget.com
As you can glean from the image above, the UMPC 7-A sports a nifty slider design that supposedly places the QWERTY keyboard at a "more natural angle" for the user. Source: http://www.engadget.com
We know, hackers tend to get a pretty bad rap these days, but with some of 'em out there creating ginormous gridlocks in Los Angeles and shutting down networks in enemy territories , we sort of understand the sentiment. Most recently, it seems that hackers are being blamed for "penetrating power systems (sound…

Another day, another press release, but sometimes it pays to look more closely: we got word on MSI's P35-Neo3 motherboard which is kitted with a new EFI BIOS. However, that wasn't the only interesting thing because we noticed that there was also some Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 45nm "Wolfdale" overclocking thrown in for…
Oscar Pistorius, a double-amputee sprinter, has been denied a shot at the Olympics... for being too fast.
