PC Modding Malaysia posted a Razer Tarantula Gaming Keyboard Review

The Tarantula is one step ahead of any other gaming keyboard in the market and it is truly a next generation keyboard. Razer did a great job with the Tarantula and everything from the top-notch packaging to the software was impressive. The high-glossy keyboard surface makes the Tarantula appear as the one of the nicest and shiniest keyboard in the market, but this also means that you have to take good care of the keyboard to keep its shinny condition. The keyboard features built-in 32Kb memory which allows to store up to 5 Synapse profiles on the keyboard itself. Software installation was not necessary to get the Tarantula alive but Razer did put quite a lot of effort in crafting the software as much as they invested into building the keyboard.

XYZ Computing has a new article out on the Samsung 931BF 19 Inch LCD Display

At this point in time 19" LCD displays are very common and they can be had quite cheaply. Among those available there wide spectrum- from those that are extremely inexpensive to those that are not as affordable but have performance advantages or an improved base. The Samsung name carries a price premium in and of itself, but most of their models bring something more to the table than an average 19" LCD. The 931BF has a few interesting selling points, such as a 2ms response time and Samsung's MagicTune display technology. On the surface this product does not look any different from a number of other models, but it should be interesting to see how Samsung has set their product apart from the rest.

techPowerUp posted a review on the Razer Barracuda HP-1

The Razer Barracuda HP-1 is a unique headset which offers true surround sound. A number of small speakers in the headphone are placed at different positions and are driven by a small amplifier included with the headphones. Now you can enjoy positional sound effects while using a headset. In our testing we found out that this makes quite a difference in games like Counter-Strike or Battlefield, where you can locate enemies based on the sounds they make.

MadPenguin.org posted a review on Ubuntu Christian Edition

It's no secret that Linux needs parental controls installed with a distribution by default, and it’s been a necessity for a long time now. Advanced users have always pointed to Dans Guardian, but they are delusional if they believe that most people have the time or the ability to implement this great resource.

I4U News reviews the NVIDIA XFX 8800 GTX SLI.

A pair of 8800 GTX cards in SLI is a different story. I have never played Oblivion when it looked this good, and actually been able to move. I turned all the settings to high in the Oblivion settings, save the AF which I turned off in favor of HDR. With the 8800 GTX cards you can get both AF and HDR at the same time by enabling AF in the NVIDIA control panel, which I did.

Elite Bastards is taking a look at NVIDIA's newest flagship part, the GeForce 8800 GTX

For the GeForce 8800 GTS SKU, parts of this huge core are disabled to provide a part at a cheaper price point, while also improving yields by giving NVIDIA the ability to sell cores that aren't otherwise 100% functional. The upshot of this is that, rather than the 128 Stream Processors (or unified shader units, in other words) present on the GeForce 8800 GTX, the GTS part features just 96 SPs - As these units are divided into clusters of sixteen, this means that the GeForce 8800 GTS has two such clusters disabled. This also means that the core for a GTS part features eight less texturing units than its big brother, giving it a total of forty-eight. One ROP partition is also disabled on the core, giving a total of five on the GTS compared to six on a full GeForce 8800 GTX and leaving this particular SKU with a total of twenty ROPs.

Rather than the 384-bit memory bus utilised by the GeForce 8800 GTX, the GTS part also sees a reduction in this area, down to 320-bit, meaning that only ten memory modules are used on the board - This also means that the GeForce 8800 GTS finds itself with just 640MB of GDDR3 RAM compared to the 768MB on a full GTX part.

TrustedReviews have looked at the Kodak i1220 Scanner

The reality of the modern PC and Windows-equipped office is very different. Email actually generates more waste paper as office workers needlessly print emails out to read them, while the low cost of printing
in general means that companies can afford to bury us all in mountains of junk mail.
