SanDisk slotRadio Player Review
ASE Labs posted a review on the SanDisk slotRadio Player

Never heard of slotRadio? It is an initiative by SanDisk to capitalize on the DRM encumbered music market. For a one time fee, you get lots of music that is playable on certain devices that can play slotRadio media. We at ASE Labs thought that the market moved on from proprietary forms of media. Still, we'll see if it has some worth to it.

ASUS Maximus III Extreme Motherboard Review
Vortez.co.uk posted a review on the ASUS Maximus III Extreme Motherboard

Over the years, ASUS have been at the forefront of performance components and have diversified into a foray of other hardware departments to show their engineering talent and supremacy. But what we know ASUS for, are their motherboards, which they continue to improve and innovate. Their latest brainchild is their new flagship P55 based motherboard, the Maximus III Extreme, which has been inserted into the Republic Of Gamers line up. The board introduces new overclocking features, the NF200 chip and most importantly, if the conveniently named 'III' moniker wasn't already a give-away, USB 3.0 and SATA III compatibility.

Thermaltake V3 Mid-Tower Review
PureOverclock has published a review of the Thermaltake V3 mid-tower case.

The Thermaltake V3 PC case is geared towards the value-conscious consumer. However, affordable and practical do not always go hand-in-hand, but for Thermaltake this synergy is usually blended and what comes out is more often than not, quite good. This chassis looks like it may live up to some high expectations with its features and design, and a promise to not be hard on the wallet. Well then, let's have a closer look at the Thermaltake V3 mid tower and see how it stacks up.

Xclio A380 Color Plus Review
OCC has published a review on the Xclio A380 Color Plus

It seems Xclio put a slightly higher importance on looks than function, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing because I still think it looks awesome. On the other hand, these problems did show in the testing. I don't really have too much to say about the wire management, as some features are there such as mostly everything already being pre-wired, but it doesn't seem like much extra thought was put into making other wiring look clean. For a case as expensive as this, I really would have expected better temperatures, some paint on the inside, some accommodations for wire management, and the simple, but massively convenient, heatsink mounting bracket access hole.

Platform Preview gives Web developers first taste of IE9
Ars Technica takes a look at the IE9 Platform Preview

Microsoft today released the Windows Internet Explorer Platform Preview to the public. The release is meant to demonstrate the capabilities of Internet Explorer 9 to Web developers while at the same time providing feedback to the IE9 team. Microsoft says it is committed to updating the Platform Preview to keep a more effective rhythm for discussion, and it will be updated every eight weeks or so. Microsoft will share feedback with standards-setting bodies in addition to using it for internal development.

The Platform Preview is a minimal wrapper: it's not a full-fledged browser. It has no tabs. It has no address bar. It has no back button. So what is included? Everything that Web developers need to see: the rendering engine, of course, as well as the new JavaScript engine, hardware acceleration features, and the developer tools. The IE9 team told Ars that each update will use one of the latest internal engineering builds, at which point the feedback loop will start again.

ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the ASUS P7P55D-E Pro Intel P55 LGA 1156 Motherboard

There are a couple of other decisions that will have to be made, mainly whether or not to get ready for the two other new technologies on the marketSATA 6gb/s, and USB 3. Many new P55 motherboards have onboard SATA 6Gb/s and USB 3, but were you aware that most of them actually use PCI-E lanes to compensate for the lack of buses to utilize these new methods of data transfer, taking those valuable lanes away from the video cards? Today I will be looking at the Asus P7P55D-E Pro, a middle-of-the-road version of Asus new P55 motherboards that sport SATA 6Gb/s and USB 3 without PCI-E compensation. Yes, this board prepares you for the future while allowing you the full use of your PCI-E lanes for SLI or CrossfireX by using Asus new PLX implementation. Is the P7P55D-E Pro the P55 board to have?
