RiData released a line of SSD drives called the Ultra-S Plus. This series of drives was announced at CES this year, (how did I miss that booth?) and they claim it is much faster than many of the other MLC drives available today.

Having a great system is vital to gaming. However, having a great case to house all those components can be just as important to the LAN party scene. The weight, size, and construction of the case and even more important, the look, are the integral parts of a system that will be hauled around to LAN parties. Cooler Master’s recently launched Sniper computer chassis is part of the new CM Storm product line and was designed with these concerns in mind.

With the introduction of the Original Jawbone, Aliph revolutionized the Bluetooth headset industry. Before the introduction of the Original Jawbone, little emphasis was placed on noise cancellation. The Original Jawbone was very successful but the only real problem was its size. Aliph claims the New Jawbone improves upon the Original Jawbone while being roughly half the size.

Lately, external hard drive docks have become a popular accessory, specifically the open form factor ones that allow quick swapping of the media in the dock. The Kingwin EZ-Dock is a medium to low cost option with all of the features of the more expensive models.

Bluetooth wireless mouse and keyboard combinations are becoming ever more popular for the average user primarily due to the lack of cords. However, due to the latency time required to transmit keystrokes and mouse movements/clicks these devices have been a tough sell for the hardcore or even casual gamer. There is also the worry about batteries running dry right in the middle of an important project with no replacements in sight.

These have personally been major fears of mine and the main reason why I’ve steered clear of wireless keyboards and mice (especially while gaming). But when asked whether or not I’d be interested in reviewing such a product, I figured I’d give it a chance.

If you have ever researched cameras or photography on the Internet in the past few years, you have probably seen or heard of Joby’s Gorillapod. If you didn’t look much further into it though, you likely ignored it all, thinking “what could be so special about a tripod?” Well, before I actually got to try the product firsthand, I thought the same thing.

Solid state drives, or SSDs are becoming ever more popular as their cost decreases and their capacity increases. These drives have many advantages over modern hard disk drives, however, their perceived high prices and slower speeds have prevented them from being adopted up to this point. The Cavalry Pelican SSD is one of these drives that is capable of effecting a swift and necessary reversal of this misconception.
