Aluminum Case for iPod Nano 4th (Black)

So I figured why not make it three in row of iPod nano cases reviewed, sounds good to me anyway…

The last two iPod nano cases I reviewed were plastic, today I’ve got an aluminum one that offers sort of a bit more protection for your iPod. The Aluminum housing of course is a bit more durable than plastic, but it doesn’t include a screen protector, you’ll have to provide one of those yourself, or just deal with it. The case is padded on the inside though so it should protect the nano from the shock of being dropped, and of course the padding protects the nano of being scratched by the metal housing.

So read on…

Review Snipit:
“Today for review I’ve got a rather cool product from IcyDock that is sort of a hard drive enclosure but not really, it’s called the EZ-Dock and  as it’s name implies it’s more of a dock than an enclosure. The Ez-Dock allows you to use either 2.5″ or 3.5″ SATA hard drives with it in a small docking station that is removable from the base so you can take it with you if need be. It is though, and enclosure of sorts in that it comes with a carrying case so you can dock a 2.5″ drive, put it in the carrying case and take it with you. “

NEW CONTENT (CPU & Chipset) – Core i7 920 Core Disabling Performance Analysis

QUOTE: “So, while I was there pondering around with the options, I wondered what would happen if we started disabling cores. How would that affect 3D performance? What I really wanted to know is how many cores we really need; one, two, three or four? – Sure, there have been articles that compare a dual core based Core 2 processor to a quad core one, but what happens if the only difference between every CPU configuration is the amount of cores while FSB, speed and memory settings are all the same?

With that in mind, cores started dropping quicker than flies on a 40c day in Australia and the benchmarks came a’flowing. I can tell you right now, the results were very interesting. So without further ado, let’s get straight into the benchmarks to find out how many cores we really need for today’s games.”

The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants 2 DVD Review @ Ascully.com

Quote

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants came out years ago, featuring three young girls who were brought together over a pair of jeans that magically fit all three of them, but also looked great on each.  The three best friends formed a sort of group by which the pants were passed around, and their “magic” would bring good fortune to each. Now, three years later, the girls are all grown up, as each is in college.”
