Fastsilicon Press Release: FyreTV IPTV Set Top Box Review
Today Fastsilicon has posted our review of FyreTV’s IPTV Set Top Box. Announced in January at the AVN Awards in Las Vegas, this represents one of the first in the burgeoning wave of IPTV products available. Currently still in beta, we gave their hardware and service an evaluation.
Quote: “We covered the AVN launch of this new IPTV product, FyreTV, back in January , when it garnered as much press as other devices launched next door at CES during the same week. Now that this product is finally in beta testing, we have been able to obtain FyreTV’s hardware, and are here today to give you a bit of a glimpse at IPTV’s future. Granted, this one revolves specifically around pornographic video content, but if you make the effort to set aside whatever your individual thoughts on the subject matter might be (assuming they are bad), you can see that this new service is perhaps a template or model for what may be our digital future when it comes to video content. “

* Title: Logitech diNovo Mini Bluetooth Thumb Keyboard @ APH Networks
* Description: You are sitting in your living room, on that beautiful, comfortable, black leather sofa you picked up just a few years ago. The designer lights on the walls are dimmed as the clock ticks past ten. The 50″ LCD TV you’ve come to enjoy everyday after work is eight meters away from you. Under the TV is the home theater PC, along with an array of high end audio and video equipment with their LED lights and displays blinking and flashing in all its glory. Your media computer is hooked up to your television screen using an HDMI cable. CAT5e cables runs around your home with a network operating at Gigabit speeds to stream terabytes of media files from your server to your big screen TV and powerful audio system. An air of tension and suspense fills your living room as the blasts and emotions of the movies are about to come alive on the screen in front of you. You put your feet on the coffee table, wiggle your toes a bit underneath your black socks, and grab a warm cup of coffee to enjoy I am Legend on Bluray. As the clock on the wall continues to tick ever so faithfully while you sit there and wait for something to happen, a sense of shock and horror overcomes you. “How can the computer be operated from the comfort of my sofa without a wireless keyboard and mouse?” you wonder. The year is 2008.

Title: Razer Piranha Gaming Headset @ Phoronix
Direct Link: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=12147
Summary: “We haven’t looked at a new Razer product since February of 2007 when reviewing the DeathAdder, but with products from the Copperhead to the Mantis, we have been impressed with their exceptional quality. The Razer Barracuda AC-1 did initially have some problems with Linux, but those have since been worked out with the ALSA Snd-Oxygen driver. Today up on the review block is a new Razer audio product and that is the Piranha Gaming Communicator, which is a headset designed for gamers with true-to-life audio quality and a noise-filtering microphone.”

Obscure: The Aftermath takes place just a few years after the events of the first game. The characters have all gone to college and are trying to move on with their lives. One of the college professors has a brother dying from a strange disease, and in order to cure him, is secretly administering the drug to some of the students.An experiment gone out of control contaminates the students and campus, leading to some disastrous consequences
Generally each team consists of a girl and boy (dating and making innuendo comments, naturally), so its easy to figure out who should move the heavy box and who should seduce monsters no duh.

BurnOutPC.com has just posted their review on the Nexus HXR-5500 Heatpipe Memory Cooler.
Quote
“Nexus HXR-5500 Memory Heat pipe Cooler. A long name for such a simple product. But it’s simplicity also makes it cheaper and I like the look of it as well. Again Nexus used Heat pipes to help cool down in this case the memory. The HXR-5500 is basically a large platter of aluminum stuck to the side of your memory along with a heat pipe to cool it more efficiently and therefore give it more over clocking capabilities.”

Title: A Pro Modder … Really? at Modders-Inc
Summary: I have heard a lot talk about Pro Modders and in my honest opinion I think too much emphasis is put upon such a distinction.

MX vs ATX Untamed PSP Review
Date: 04-04-2007 Written By Vlad MihaiescuThe game is arcade-ish at best. Unrealistic is another word that comes to mind. But the fun factor is all that counts, and when it comes to off-road genre, MX vs. ATV has it all. Whether you prefer bikes, atvs, golf carts, monster trucks, speed trucks, dune buggies, or even snow mobiles, this game has it. The game’s best feature is its arcade-style gameplay that allows a successful interaction between all those vehicles. With all the un-lockable features, this game will keep you busy for hours. The only catch is, as I mentioned earlier, your love for off-road vehicles. Now, if you have the Xbox 360 version, you will probably be very disappointed in the PSP version. Also, if you don’t like the off-road environment then you won’t like this game. In general, this game will make a great addition to the collection of any true off-road fan.

Xigmatek Red Scorpion, S1283 CPU Cooler:
Link: http://www.rbmods.com/Articles/Xigmatek/S1283_cpu_cooler/1.php

Quote: Today we take a look at a cooler from the fairly new company named Xigmatek. This new cooler focuses on peformance and silence which actually can be quite hard to combine together so it is going to be very interesting to see what this S1283 cooler can do vs a well performing cooler from Coolermaster. It seems to have the size and the quality but does it perform?

Category: Reviews
Summary:
We completely disassembled OCZ StealthXStream 600 W (OCZ600SXS) and tested to see if it can really deliver its rated power. Check it out!
Here is a snippet:
“StealthXStream 600 W from OCZ has a 120-mm fan, is EPS12V-compatible, has two video card power connectors for SLI and CrossFire systems and comes with an extremely attractive price tag in the USA, costing less than USD 90. Is this a good power supply? Can it really deliver its rated power? Let’s take another look on this power supply, as we updated this article to add load tests results.”

| XFX GeForce 9600GT XXX Alpha Dog Review |
 |
Author: Doc Overclock Date: 04-04-2008
Well for starters not a single game title tested here was able to slow down a pair of these cards and in fact every gamed played, played damn good too. Even Crysis, which is a system resource hog, ran just fine with the XFX 9600GT cards in SLI mode. Actually no game currently released challenges these cards when in SLI and I do not foresee any games coming out in the next six months doing so either. Technology on the software side is starting to fall behind the hardware side in a strange turn of the coin as this used to be in reverse in this industry. Budget cards are becoming more and more powerful each quarter and a pair of these is in the very affordable range of most gamers.

NEW CONTENT (Visual) - ASUS GeForce 9600GT 512MB Graphics Card
QUOTE: “If you’re looking for a 9600GT, the chances are we can give you a pretty good idea of which one to get. We get a lot of samples, but the 9600GT would have to be one product that we’ve received over and over again from different companies who are mixing it up with big clocks and bigger coolers.
The latest 9600GT to make its way into the labs is from ASUS and carries with it some stock clocks, but also has a mean looking cooler that we’ve seen before. We’ve been happy with the 9600GT ever since its interception, and it’s managed to receive a number of awards. Let’s see if ASUS can impress us with their incarnation of the card.”

I4U NEWS reviews the Turning Point: Fall of Liberty Video Game for PC.
Quote from the review:
“The game starts off with a lot of potential and then fails to deliver on the interesting setting for the game. Graphics are horrible, there is no method to bind keyboard commands and the game suffers from an exceptionally frustrating tendency to shutter and stop even on a very high end gaming machine.”

“Recently Razer sent over two of their latest products for review, and the first one I’ll be taking a look at today is the Piranha Gaming Communicator.
