Falling in line with this market shift, Logitech announced today their latest attempt to make PC gaming simpler and more efficient, the G13 Advanced Gameboard. The G13 features an ergonomically minded design that uses an arched wrist rest and curved keypad to keep users at the top of their game during extended sessions. More »
December 10, 2008 - Playing video games on a giant HDTV is one of the greatest joys in life, but having a kickass sound system to hear every bullet drop and alien head explode is also key to the ultimate gaming experience. The problem is, gamers tend to be night owls and your neighbors might not appreciate your subwoofer rumbling their walls while you enjoy your 2am "Resistance: Fall of Man" session.

December 10, 2008 - From Area 51 to those mysterious crop circles, human beings have had a number of reasons to wonder if were not alone in the universe. If/when we do find life on another planet, will they be friendly like our lovable long-necked E.T., or will they come to consume all of Earth's resources, only to be defeated by a bat-wielding Joaquin Phoenix and a glass of water? Well it appears that were closer than ever to knowing the truth, as new chemical discoveries by the Hubble Space Telescope has launched a breakthrough in the finding of extraterrestrial life. More »

December 10, 2008 - There's no doubting that the PlayStation 3's first couple years have been a little rocky, as overall sales figures currently put the system firmly in third place in worldwide sales. The biggest knock against the system, since launch, has been its price. Launching at $500 and $600, it was much more expensive than the Xbox 360 right off the shelf. However, when you took things like its built-in WiFi into account or stacked it up against standalone Blu-ray players, the PlayStation 3 actually turned out to be a great value. More »
December 09, 2008 - At what point exactly does a toy stop being a toy and cross into the realm of collectors item? Well when it costs as much as your big-screen TV, that's probably a good initial example. Also, when the company selling it offers a 3-month layaway plan for payments, that's another good sign.

December 09, 2008 - Were still baffled as to why in this day and age that new technology is still ripe with glitches, oddball behavior and just plain frustrating occurrences. As we make the push to produce smarter and most realistic A.I., it appears that not only are gadgets like laptops gaining the processing power of the human brain, they're also developing other human-like tendencies, and not necessarily the good ones.
