Friday, July 24th, 2009

Today we are going to take a look at Lenovo’s S10 netbook to see just how it stacks up. Continue reading

Fujifilm FinePix S1500 Digital Camera
Tuesday, July 21st, 2009
My primary digital camera is a Fujifilm FinePix S9100. I purchased this a few years ago when a digital SLR camera system was out of out of my price range, but I wanted a capable live-view camera that didn’t feel like a toy in my hands and afforded me the flexibility of manual control. It should be noted that my primary camera of choice is a Canon F-1, circa 1980. Film photography and manual focus and exposure control are my friends, but I have recognized the need for a digital solution, as not everything in my life needs to be an artistic expression. The photographs for many of my reviews have been taken with the S9100 and a Canon Speedlight.
The 1500 in this review promises grown-up features for a small form-factor camera, in a lesser but similar way to my trusty 9100. Continue reading

HyperMac MBP-222 External MacBook Battery
Tuesday, July 14th, 2009
I love my MacBook Pro. It has the power to perform intensive computations, but has a slim and lightweight form factor that is unparalleled. The screen is gorgeous, and the keyboard and trackpad are very comfortable. Battery life is another story, and is the only sticking point I have with the platform. I can usually get 2-3 hours of light use out of it, but no more than an hour of photo editing or audio processing. HyperMac’s external battery line promises to solve that problem if you’re willing to tote around an external battery. Continue reading

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009Corsair P256 2.5-inch Solid State Disk @ TweakTown
Monday, July 6th, 2009“It was quite a shock when Corsair announced their entry into the solid state market. Just weeks before the announcement a Corsair representative stated that the company was not looking to enter the market until they were ready. At that point just about everyone took the news at face value and pretty much planned to revisit the situation a year or so later. It is strange how fast things turn… Continue reading

Sapphire Radeon HD 4890 ATOMIC Graphics Card @ TweakTown
Monday, July 6th, 2009“The ATOMIC series of cards is one that we really do get excited about when it comes to Sapphire products. Unlike a lot of other companies who overclock, Sapphire tend to really mix it up with this particular series. We don’t only see some serious clock speeds, but also something fancy in the heatsink department which always helps bring the card to a new level.
With the bar set… Continue reading

ASUS Crosshair III Formula Review @ OCC
Sunday, July 5th, 2009“When it came to overclocking on the ASUS Crosshair III Formula, I found it easier and more effective to push the BUS speed versus raising the multiplier. When raising the multiplier, I was only able to push it to 18x for a total speed of 3.6GHz before I lost stability. However, by putting the voltage to the maximum of 1.5v, I was able to push the BUS speed all the… Continue reading

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009“Asus has designed a card that uses what it calls the “Ultimate Armaments” to build a card that performs well not only at stock speeds but to push the envelope when overclocked. Lower RDS on MOSFETs that run cooler, solid capacitors for a longer service life, shielded DVI connections for improved clarity and covered chokes for cooler operation and better efficiency are the things that ASUS uses to separate its… Continue reading

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009“The Voltage Tweak model from ASUS is something we’ve heard about for a while now. The idea behind it is that ASUS gives the user even more control of the card when it comes to overclocking. Not only do you have the ability to overclock the standard clocks like memory and core, but you also have the ability to adjust the voltage.
You may be wondering what this exactly… Continue reading
Sin City HD Movie Review @ TweakTown
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009“Based on the critically acclaimed graphic novel by Frank Miller and directed with immense style by Robert Rodriguez, Sin City signaled a new found maturity in comic book to film adaptations that continued with Batman Begins and paved the way for the even darker The Dark Knight and Watchmen.
Sin City worked as a graphic novel and it works just as well, if not better, as a film. This… Continue reading
