When I saw this keyboard at ThinkGeek I said "wow... now this is such a cool concept!".  Each of the 430 keys are programmable to display the color you wish.  There is a neat setup utility that will quickly guide you to light this baby up to your liking.  I think this is perfect for gaming cafes, you know, most of these cafes have dim lights and all for mood effects.  The Luxeed LED keyboard will surely add more to the drama. It is available in either white or black finish and retails at about US$199.99 each.  I am sure you're thinking "man that's an arm and a leg for a keyboard!" considering that ...

Ever wanted a completely new pointer device? Well, there are a few weird and wacky devices out there, some of which are completely useless. This one however looks to be a bit more practical than most. The Swiftpoint Slider from Simtrix is designed exclusively for situations where there isn't a huge amount of desk space to operate. This makes it perfect for the laptop (especially the literal) user. The 'Slider', as the name suggests, actually smoothly glides over the keyboard keys - making the keyboard area function as a mousepad. Impressive, I'm sure you'll agree. Of course, most - if not all - laptops come with a touchpad built ...

I was playing with my best friend’s now-fixed Neo laptop on Christmas Eve, when I had a few realizations: RAM is really king. The same Internet connection that I have loaded up so... Zippily on her computer. I was wondering: “Why on earth did YouTube load fully as it played on her machine while on Sayuri I wanna bang my head on the monitor constantly?” The difference: 1 GB RAM on her Windows XP box, and 512 MB on my OS X box. Great. Now I seriously want these. :p Image source: Atty. Ralph Losey's blog He plays great classical music. Sigh. Memories ...

Notebook designers and manufacturers have long searched for the holy grail of power efficiency. For this reason, the architecture of portable computers has evolved so much since the advent of laptop computers. And one of the main ways to conserve battery life is by reducing hard disk spinning. Recently, the trend is going towards solid-state storage. This means drives that have no moving parts. Most popular of these is flash memory. They're cheap, durable, and can hold data even without power (unlike volatile RAM, which loses data when power is off). Since flash memory can allegedly reduce consumption caused by spinning hard drives, some manufacturers have switched to using solid state drives for their ...

Speaking of geeks and salivation, I had come across a picture of my friend’s boyfriend’s computer setup months ago, but the writing of the article itself was put off after mounds of work, mounds of lifestyle stresses, and moving houses, rooms, and what-not galore. So here it is, for all the world to see, my friend’s boyfriend’s PC setup.

I actually thought that this looked so much like an alienoid thing, but I was more fascinated than weirded-out in a girly way. Though I could not relate to his and my friend’s glee at his boyfriend’s having “Reached the CPU and vid card temp that he's been targetting. So it rocks!” I sure could relate to the fact that this thing does look cool, and I do appreciate a great-looking tricked-out, pimped-out thing any time.
