Wonder how this will affect the Blu-Ray camp if Sony's cutting out it's major partners to push the PS3. While Matsushita can use their stock in the upcoming Panasonic drive I'm not sure what Pioneer is going to do for their upcoming Elite drive. Before anyone asks what a standalone player...

The next-gen format war may be cooler than expected this holiday season, as shortages of blue laser diodes could result in shipment delays for new models of Blu-ray and HD DVD players and drives until 2007. That's according to DigiTimes, who, citing unnamed sources at optical drive...

Google has teamed up with eBay to provide click-to-call adverts that work with Skype and Google Talk. The two companies will develop a system that allows users to click a link in an advert to initiate a voice call with participating eBay merchants or Google advertisers over eBay-owned Skype...

The initial PS3 shipments will sell out extremely fast as early adopters have no problem shelling out the cash for the latest toys, but come time for Christmas and birthdays when you can buy both a 360 and a Wii for the price of a PS3 I can see most parents skipping it. Sony's is looking like...

Was a good popcorn flick and any movie with Asia Argento I can't be mad at ;). Doesn't live upto the rest of the Dead movies but it's still better than 90% of the horror movies out there.

Is anyone interested in any DVD reviews. I know Big B's done a couple and I'm just wondering if there's any interest. Check the link in my sig and if there are any movies you'd like to see reviewed leave a post here and I'll see what I can do.

The Xbox was also had a premium price compared to the PS2, which helped Sony maintain sales when the original xbox was launched as when parents saw the two systems at Christmas and the PS2 was cheaper they were buying it for thier kids. This generation is the exact opposite, MS is coming in...

Sony has altered quite a few things they said they were going to initially include, but the one thing I think could end up hurting Sony is throwing the Blu-Ray drive as a default drive for the PS3. So far their Blu-Ray movies haven't exactly been thrilling to many people and their PC drive is...

Phantom (formerly Infinium Labs), developer of the long promoted but never seen Phantom PC gaming console, has apparently given up.

Sim cards are basically your programming for a GSM phone. It stores your phone # so you can swap cards from one phone to another and your number moves along with it. The can also store up to 250 phone numbers which makes it nice if your transferring from phone to phone you don't have to re-add...

The way it reads about Gigabyte establishing a new subsidiary company is that Asus and Gigabyte are just going to share technologies to try and help save R&D costs, increase distribution power & reduce material costs. Becauseof the fact it's a joint venture & not a complete merger between the...

Most of the features are already available in a single phone. I know with my UTStarcom PPC6700 it's running Windows Mobile 2005, so you have all the major Microsoft apps, and EVDO connection so it has speeds upto 2.4MB/second which allows it to support streaming video (love the slingbox for...

There is no way to make it work. GSM phones have all the programming done on the sim card while CDMA phones like Sprint & Verizon have all the programming built into the phone. Unfortunatley the only major carriers you'd be able to use the Treo with would be Cingular or T-Mobile.

I'm thinking the opposite way with AMD upping the royalties nVidia will have to pay them. One of the main reasons for the initial nForces not being released for Intel platforms was the high licensing costs. I'm hoping AMD isn't going to try and cut nvidia out of the motherboard market by...

I'm just wondering how much it's going to affect the nForce product line. Considering nVidia helped make AMD what they are today because of the initial nForce boards I'd hate to see AMD either really up nVidia's royalty's on chips or eliminate their license all together.

Have to love it when a security compnay that has major flaws in their shipping products are trashing a product still in beta :).
