Kingston DataTraveler Secure Privacy Edition Review
BIOS Magazine posted a review on the Kingston DataTraveler Secure Privacy Edition

Kingston continues to deliver a wide range of USB Flash drives to
protect user data. The DataTraveler Secure Privacy Edition helps ensure data integrity under extreme conditions, without sacrificing performance. With hardware encryption and a complex password protocol the device is currently the most secure USB drive on the market. And with read and write speeds of up to 24MB/s and 10MB/s, respectively, it also offers relatively speedy performance (faster drives are available). Available in storage capacities of up to 4GB (from 31 to 76) and supplied with a 5-year warranty and full customer support, business users should certainly take a look.

Recover Data From a dead hard drive using ddrescue
Debian Admin published a guide about recover data from a dead hard drive using ddrescue

Like dd, dd_rescue does copy data from one file or block device to another.dd_rescue is a tool to help you to save data from crashed partition. It tries to read and if it fails, it will go on with the next sectors where tools like dd will fail. If the copying process is interrupted by the user it is possible to continue at any position later. It can copy backwards.

Icemat Siberia In:Ear Headset Review
Bigbruin.com has posted a review on the Icemat Siberia In:Ear Headset

The Siberia In:Ear Headset take my expectations for earbud style headphones to a whole new level thanks to the sound quality, comfort level, and noise blocking capabilities. They work well for audio playback, and adding the microphone creates a convenient way to communicate over IP telephones or in online games.

Salient VM223 wireless Pen mouse Presenter Review
XtremeComputing has posted a Salient VM223 wireless Pen mouse presenter review

Salient advise the best way to hold the Pen is with your index finger resting over the lower button in a relaxed grip but to keep your wrist and arm in a fixed position which will then allow you to enjoy the natural, precise, smooth writing style operation that the mouse gives you. When the device is switched on there is an optical light source that glows blue out of the end of the pen and with a working distance of up to ten meters the device should work well.

Thermaltake Soprano VX Computer Case Review
Tweaknews.net posted a review on the Thermaltake Soprano VX Computer Case

The Thermaltake Soprano VX is a computer chassis with some style and panache that some people may find appealing. Personally, I like the look of the case. I like the front panel I/O treatment, too. While the finish doesn't quite live up to the hype, it's not bad either.

Tagan TurboJet 1100W Review
APH Networks has posted a review on the Tagan TurboJet 1100W

An frequently asked question by PC enthusiasts thats has now even reached out to general consumers has been asked very often lately. How much power does my PC really need? In reality, the quality of the power supply unit is equally, if not more important, than the wattage specification alone. Would you trust your brand new pair of 8800GTX with a $10 generic power supply rated at 600W from eBay? How about your Core 2 Quad? These components alone will not only generate immense amounts of heat, but consumes an unbelievable amount of power as well. If the term 'Quality Power' comes to mind, then let's consider a high wattage, quality power supply that feeds your system enough power for now and future-proof to a degree. Is the Tagan TurboJet 1100W PSU going to deliver? Let's give it a run and we'll see if this is your dream power supply for your ultimate system... or not.

NMB-MAT Panaflo L1A Fan w-RPM Sensing
PC Apex Review posted a new review up on a fan offered by MNPCTech.com

The general consensus is that there are only two types of 12V DC fans, sleeve bearing and ball bearing and the latter is the superior design. Neither assumption is entirely true. The second widely held belief is that ball bearing fans are the quietest fans you can buy. I actually had someone tell me recently that he had installed six fans in his computer case and since they were all "ball bearing" fans you could barely hear them. I just smiled and thought to myself, 'The quiet you're experiencing is no doubt due to hearing loss caused by excessive fan noise.

Akasa AK-873 Heatsink Review
FrostyTech posted a review on the Akasa AK-873 AMD Athlon64 Heatsink

Over the years we've seen aluminum heatsinks migrate to copper, and then heat pipes slowly began appearing here and there. The first heat pipes were added on as afterthoughts, and then thermal designs caught up with the technology. Now, what we're seeing is a shift from multiple 6mm diameter heatpipes to a reduced number of larger, 8mm diameter heatpipes. There will be more coolers arriving on the market place with this method of enhanced heat transport, but the Akasa AK-873 is clearly one of the first to cross our test bench.

OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 ATI CrossFire Certified Edition Memory Review
3D Game Man posted a review on the OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 ATI CrossFire Certified Edition Memory

DDR2 memory is now mainstream and needed for current motherboards. So, when upgrading your computer system, it's required to pick up at least 2 gigabytes of DDR2 memory. Selecting memory can be a daunting task, as there are so many memory companies on the market. OCZ has really taken the guesswork out of this memory though, since it's designed to work best with ATI chipset motherboards. So if you are getting a new ATI chipset motherboard, this would be the memory to get. With a default speed of 800MHz DDR2 and a timing of 4-4-4-12 it is sure to perform very well in high-end motherboards...

OCIA.net takes a look at the Spire Rocketeer IV 600w Power Supply in their latest review

Voltage specifications are printed on the obligatory side panel sticker. From the listed UL number E130843 we can determine that the Rocketeer IV is made by Topower, a well-known, high-quality power supply manufacturer, who also happens to make power supplies for OCZ. The UL listing will often reveal the true manufacturer of a power supply if it is simply rebranded under another company name.

Ouch! Hot laptop! As most laptop owners know, systems can get pretty hot to the touch. So hot, that you never want them anywhere near your lap.

Kodak EasyShare V705 Dual Lens Camera Review
TrustedReviews have looked at the Kodak EasyShare V705 Dual Lens Camera

In case you hadn’t noticed, the Christmas season is nearly upon us. Whatever your philosophical persuasion, this usually entails a few weeks of parties, family gatherings and other social occasions, and that means plenty of opportunities for photographs of long-lost relatives, large groups of unruly children, along with tables full of slightly drunk and overfed people slipping quietly into turkey coma. Given that all our waistlines traditionally expand by a few inches at this time of year, what you really need for this is a wide angle lens, in many cases the wider the better.

TrustedReviews have looked at the Sony Network Walkman NW-S203F

I was disappointed to find that a similar tool hadn't been released by Sony for the S203F, but a quick search of Google revealed a clone of MP3FM, but with added features. Not only that, but it works with this model. It's called voidmp3fm and it's available from drvoid.com. It is worth mentioning that it is not officially supported by Sony, but I've had no problems with it yet.
