Averatec D1005. Cool, or lawsuit waiting to happen? You decide!
Posted on July 20, 2009 at 8:51am 5 Comments 0 Likes
Averatec already has a few offerings on the market when it comes to all-in-one pcs. The D1005 slips in neatly between the 25 and a half and 18 inch models. It's nothing to write home about spec wise, but at $799, it sits neatly in the 'college workstation and public terminal' category, even despite its uncanny… Continue
Yet Another Tablet Post
Posted on July 17, 2009 at 8:00pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
So, after I reported on rumours yesterday, this little bundle of love comes to my attention. The Gigabyte T1028 is a netbook with reversible form factor, coming in at about the specs I want at the price I want. I'm definitely dropping its name in the hat for when I make a decision. I likely won't until october, but it will be really cool to see what shapes up.
Down to the tech specs, the unit sports a 1.66ghz Atom processor, up to 2gb… Continue

EVGA Announces new GTX 285 Mac Edition Drivers, link mysteriously broken minutes later.
Posted on July 9, 2009 at 6:12am 1 Comment 0 Likes
I'm smelling cease and desist action from apple on this one. Apple has had a lockdown on drivers for years now, and I kind of eyebrowed when I heard EVGA claim they were releasing a mac driver, and placed it for download in their site.
Well, needless to say, it's a few hours later an without explanation, no drivers in site. I think maybe EVGA learned why there are no other cats in america, so to speak:

Opinion Piece: Apple Netbook Tablet
Posted on July 2, 2009 at 1:30pm 4 Comments 0 Likes
The Problem
So, there has been a lot of talk recently about apple's entry into the netbook market. They're a bit wishy washy on whether or not they actually will, but one of the more exciting rumours is that they'd be making a tablet. Now, I'm not usually an enormous fan of apple's hardware, but in this case, I will make an exception. If there is one thing I know apple can make well, it would be this particular piece device. The form factor, the… Continue

Because of the stray current i mean, it could damage the contacts and eventually ruin your very nice GTX 295's.
