Going Green is the theme as of late everywhere you look, and it’s all based on Global Warming theory, but apparently there’s lots of money to be made off of peoples fears, and many companies out there are more than happy to take advantage of it. Personally I think Global Warming is a whole bunch of BS, and from what I’ve seen there really is no concrete proof of it at all, there’s just a whole lot of speculation about things going on in the world today. It seems everything is blamed on global warming, if it’s unseasonably hot it’s because of global warming, if it’s unseasonably cold it’s because of global warming, c’mon now, you can’t have it both ways, pick one or the other please. How can we know that it’s getting warmer, or getting colder when we haven’t kept any real records of temperatures for any period long enough to make an actual intelligent observation or form any kind of theory about global warming? The answer is we can’t, it’s all speculation that a whole lot of people have taken as fact, a theory is just that, a theory, it’s not based in fact, it’s just simply an idea about something that’s happening. Anyway, enough of my opinions, I’m sure you could care less what I think about global warming…

Today for review I’ve got a great product from our friends at USBGeek, it’s a Solar Charger with Dual USB ports, it features selective voltage output, dual USB ports, long battery life, it includes an AC adapter and a car power adapter, and has several types of tips for various phones and electronic gadgets . In my time with this little gadget I’ve found it to be very well made, useful and just an all-around great little device that anyone would be happy with.

So continue on to learn more about it…

Quote: “Today I will be reviewing Koeis Samurai Warrior 2 for the PC.”

NEW CONTENT (Miscellaneous) – The Perfect Razer Desktop

QUOTE: “With the Razer Lycosa Keyboard, Lachesis Mouse and Destructor Gaming Surface, we have a serious gaming setup and a sweet looking desktop.

Again Razer does not disappoint on the uber-elitist front by allowing you to tweak every aspect of the mouse’s performance, and even to what sensitivity levels you can hot swap to. There is even axis specific sensitivity adjustment; this is clearly top-end stuff.”

Title: Lamptron Case Lighting Products @ APH Networks

* Description: When it comes to customization of personal computers, no one can disregard the popularity of the application of lighting effects — it seems that adding lights are the basics of case modding. The funny thing is that the use of case lights in the general custom built personal computer market are decreasing in popularity in the computer scene as far as I can see — I haven’t used any lights since my pair of cold cathodes went on fire in 2005 (Hey, I’m not kidding. It smelled really bad). I’m not the only one though, many enthusiasts with nice cases and large side windows either didn’t install any lights at all, or simply did it in a half-hearted fashion. That did not turn me away from case lighting though; the reason why I did not have any case lights for the past few years is that I was simply too lazy to find some. Not to mention that while there’s an abundance of such products in the market, but none of them really appealed to my tastes because they are all so… generic, or simply just trying way too hard to be unique that ironically inhibited its very purpose. Of course, that’s not until Lamptron contacted us with their huge array of unique case lighting products that’s actually practical in my opinion. Today, we’ll take a look at five out of the many products from Lamptron, and see how they fit in with my Silverstone KL-02 which incorporates a huge window on the side. If you’ve been following my computer photo posts for a while, you may have seen them already, if you haven’t, they look absolutely beautiful. I won’t waste anymore of your time, let’s jump to the details.
