One of the most critically lauded games last year was Crytek’s Crysis. It garnered a lot of awards from various gaming publications and websites because of its visual stunning graphics and fast, immersive gameplay. But despite all of the accolades. Crytek (makers of Crysis) was actually having some issues with the PC industry.
According to Crytek […]

I knew I heard his name before.  I think I was a college senior when I first heard the ReiserFS filesystem.  Flashback on Linux101 days… here’s the news as I have read from The Wired Blog Network :OAKLAND, California — Jurors found Linux programmer Hans Reiser guilty of first degree murder on Monday for killing his […]

Messenger for Mac is largely considered the “bastard” child of one of the world’s most used IMs. Although other messengers are already several steps ahead with video and audio-chat support, Microsoft has decided time, and time again, to leave these features exclusive for their Windows desktop version.
This new version allows you to use the Office […]

It’s been a long time in the making, there was even an unofficial SP3 made by fans, due to popular demand, but it’s finally here. The last major upgrade we’ll ever receive for our beloved, or at least tolerable, Windows XPs.
Unlike Sp2, this upgrade doesn’t bring as many changes to the interface, as most things […]

Would you like to know if the tap is cold or dry?  Years ago, you would venture a quick palm or finger swab (painful yes) because it’s the only way to find out before you venture your sweet skin.  Well brace yourself, the ultimate GEEK can now attatch a thingamajig and viola…  how cool is that!
While […]

 
Ubisoft has something up its sleeve and it looks like the third Raving Rabbids game for the Wii. For anyone who owns Nintendo’s top selling console, Rayman’s Raving Rabbids is one of the best and funniest games in its game lineup. The quirky sense of humor that permeates every single one of the mini-games in […]

 
One of the most hotly anticipated games this year is Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriots. One feature that is getting players excited is the online multiplayer component of the game, which was announced last February (along with the June 12 release date for the game).
Sony announced that an open beta will be […]

MSI recently announced a very small Intel Atom processor-powered laptop that is surely meant to compete with the popular Asus EEE.

This new laptop will have either an 8.9″ or a 10″ LED lit LCD screen, a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 80GB of HDD, 1GB of RAM and a 1.3 Megapixel camera. Compared to the Asus, […]

Some of our young readers probably don’t know what IRC is, but in short, it was a chat program where people could join channels and chat regarding it’s theme. Most channels were for small groups of friends, but eventually groups emerged to chat about common interests.
In an attempt to bring back this old/new type of […]

I can consider myself a bag geek. While I don’t have dozens and dozens of bags in my collection (yet!), I’m always on the lookout for cases and bags where I can fit my gadgets into. I usually carry around a digital SLR, an ultraportable (the Asus Eee), and when space permits, a few extra […]

While at the post office recently, I saw what had to be a twelve year old girl purchasing a stamp for a letter she wanted to send, and after receiving the stamp, she looked at her mother, and pointed at the wrong corner of the envelope. The mother corrected her and the girl placed the […]

Finally!  One of the products I’m yearning to get.  I’ve been around so many noisy episodes throughout a normal day that the alarm clock just isn’t working anymore.  I’d set it for 6:30AM and I’d wake up by 8:15am.  Oh my! 
This is called the Glo Pillow and here’s a quick blurb from their site:  “The glo […]

LG has recently announced a new phone, a secret one at that, to join the LG Black Label series.  This series includes the LG Chocolate and LG Shine, and of course now the LG Secret (at least it will when it is available in stores).
Clearly, the LG is aimed at the ‘fashionable’ crowd and it […]

As much as I keep telling myself that Wii Fit will transform my accordion tummy into a firm six-pack, I realize that’s probably unlikely.  Us geeks generally don’t like exercise, but we sure love gadgets that can help alleviate the pain.
Enter the Seiko SlimStick.  It’s like a pedometer on steroids.
The exercise monitor is about the […]

I was hoping it would soon come out.  :)  I guessed right.  Found this at www.dvice.com which later on showed me that it is available for about $40 at the National Geographic website.  Figures.  Here’s a quick blurb:
Revive your USB-powered travel gadgets anywhere with this ”crank and deposit” power bank. Cameras, cell phones, or any […]
