We first spotted Sony's TX-5 at PMA in Anaheim. Sony's durable, ruggedized, slim, T-series shooter quickly became a favorite in the point-n-shoot crowd. Cameras that shoot underwater, in sand, mud, snow and can be dropped 3+ feet isn't new. Sony didn't pioneer this category, but they made it look sexy.
Just by looking at it, the TX-5 doesn't stand out from the slim-line T-series. ..... [ read more ] Sep 22

Don't have USB 3.0 on board? No problem, Best Connectivity offers a speedy USB 3.0 PCIe adapter. We found these go for anywhere from $28-$45 with (shameless plug) our friends at Wasabi Gear offering one at around $29.
On board you'll find two USB 3.0 ports, NEC chipset and a 4-pin power connector for an extra 5 volts. I'm guessing that you can't get..... [ read more ] Sep 22
You might not know a lot about Connectland, but you've seen their products all over stores like Fry's, Micro Center, Amazon, NewEgg, and a bunch of other places.
We recently got a USB 3.0 HDD docking station for review and our testers were pleasantly surprised.
Packaging is strictly no-frills, but you get everything you need. USB 3.0 cable, HDD docking station, manuals, and power supply. ..... [ read more ] Aug 31
CostCo has always been one of my favorite, guilty pleasure of a lunch secret for a long time.
It's just weird to have a cheap, filling, tastey lunch in a mega-lo mart, which is strangely packed during lunch.
There's no way around it. When food (halfway decent and borderline good) is gotten at a bargain cheap price, it's bound to win you over.
Especially when you're hungry and have $5 in..... [ read more ] Aug 23
Calling Wii VC "ignored" is nothing more than a severe understatement. Red-headed step children get more attention than Wii's once touted feature. Heck, even your neighborhood whipping boy is more noticed.
It's gotten to a point where besides the back catalog, at some point, you'd think Nintendo would stop mentioning the service.
Oh wait...they pretty much have.
This week, we finally see..... [ read more ] Aug 18
You're dying to know. Does iRenew, CPrime, and similarly advertised bracelets work?
We got a lot of views of my initial posting, so much so that we decided to try it out, with a twist. A few things you should know before I get into. First, I didn't pay for the iRenew bacelets, nor did I get one for free from the company for review. Instead, I'm lucky enough to have a brother that jumped..... [ read more ] Aug 05
Rugged cameras used to be big, bulky and usually built to look like if a Hummer and a pocket-point-n-shoot cam had off-spring.
Scary, but true.
They all did the job, but were usually 40%-50% thicker and bulkier than a point-n-shoot of the same caliber. They all cost more too. Sure you could sometimes get a plastic enclosure for your pocket shooter. They..... [ read more ] Jul 29
I won't spoil anything about StarCraft II for you. Nothing about the story or the campaign mode or about how Blizzard is going to make you buy a whole more StarCraft II expansion packs in the near future. Nope. None of that kind of stuff.
This is just a straight forward, nothin' fancy review.
You should know, I'm a StarCraft guy. I never got into..... [ read more ]
