As for the little known brands - beware "Psyko" Psyko 5.1 PC Gaming Headset review

Service providers can pinpoint your location based on your distance from the antennas from the very beggining of the cellular telephony. So anyone with a moblle phone can consider themselves being watched. I usually hate how Apple behaves towards people: customers and their own employees or...

There are more decent brands for gaming headsets out there than just logitech and sennheiser: See these comparative reviews, for example: http://www.tomsguide.com/us/pc-gaming-headset,review-1471.html http://www.everythingusb.com/gaming-headsets.html

Is there no cross-over on the back of the woofer?

Astro was not made for PS3, apparently: Unfortunately, the only thing it seems Astro forgot to throw into the mixamp is the ability to do voice over the PS3. While there are connections for both PC and Xbox 360 , to use the A40 for voice communications on the PS3 requires the purchase of a...

In all fairness, they only say they are going to use anonymous location information, mostly to serve ads. What's wrong with that? Btw, has anyone used this "Find My iPhone" app that they mentioned there? Might come in handy.

I second the recommendation for Creative Zens - clean interface, handy extras and very good sound quality. I bought mine directly from the manufacturer (mine was a discountinued model, they also have good discounts on refurbished units etc). Linky

HTPC = silent system so I do not exactly follow what advantage would two larger fans give over a small one. If it keeps the temperature in control why bother?

I am quite interested in that Zii Egg computer announced a few days ago (http://www.zii.com) but wondering if Android could run on top of another OS or will it replace it? I mean the hardware with SDK sells for 399 bucks and the version stripped of software was mentioned with a 199 price tag...

realtek xfi mod OT, kind of Have you guys seen the thread on realtek x-fi mod by ketxxx? Here. All cool. But. I don't get this guy... He modded the realtek driver to add x-fi features. (that he btw hates :wtf:) Everybody says how better their onboard sounds now with X-Fi. Free X-Fi sound so to...

Some mobos come with X-Fi add-on that works [I suppose] in the same manner as a codec [look at that connector...] This comes from a Foxconn X58 review at madshrimps.be Maybe we'll see X-Fi as a standard codec, that would be pretty cool for gaming.

Did you try this one: Driver Pack 1.01.0076 Release date : 31 Dec 08 Looks like a new one is out.

give us a few links - there are various types and I am not sure which one you really mean.

i guess gamer is a good option precisely for the reasons you mentioned but at similar price there is a much newer card out there that beats the gamer. Talking about the X-Fi Titanium - it is PCI-e, comes with Dolby encoding and both optical input AND output right on the board. PCI-e is supposed...
