The Google Nexus One is here!

Posted by Ade as Cellphones, Desktops, Gadgets, Google, Handheld

That was pretty fast, don't you think? Just a few short weeks ago, there came out rumors that Google has been giving its employees a mysterious phone that they were supposed to test out over the holidays. Then we see Google employees praising the phone to high heavens over on their Twitter accounts. Heck, after Google's initial announcement, I was expecting the Nexus One to be released around March to June. So imagine my surprise to see that the Nexus One is already out, but there's a review already on TechCrunch! Michael Arrington himself gives his two cents on the Nexus One. Basically, the phone is everything people loved about Android, ...

The Acer Predator Aspire G Is Flaming HOT

Posted by Geezer as Computers, Desktops, Gaming, Gaming Features

Acer had never been one of my favorite brands of computers but this new release has caught my attention. Their latest gaming computer is dubbed the Acer Predator Aspire G, and it really is something else. At first glance, you might not be that impressed. It really has the same look as the earlier version – all orangey and tough. First impressions do not always mean everything, though, you should know about that. Inside the tough casing, the hardware is the perfect set up for the ultimate gaming machine. These are the specifications, as is published in The Akihabara News: For their flagship model, the ASG7710-A41, ...

Salivation Alert Part 2: Hardware!

Posted by DummyGeekGurl as Computer Peripherals, Computers, Desktops, Hardware, Notebooks

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.

Salivation Alert Part 1: Multiple Displays, Multiple Machines

Posted by DummyGeekGurl as Computers, Desktops, Hardware, Monitors, Notebooks

There are days when I just wish I were Bill Gates’ (rather, Steve Jobs’) daughter. With a tricked-out setup like his, I would so be beside myself, that if I were married, I won’t be paying hubby any attention because of being absorbed in my system.

When I first saw Bill Gates’s setup on CNN Money, I chuckled to myself because I was so amused how he could need three displays just to check mail. It was only until I had experienced and realized the need to work on two computers at once that I finally reconciled myself to the fact that multiple displays have more than salivation factors. They actually bring a productivity boost that is unparalleled.

Two Computers

Posted by DummyGeekGurl as Computer Peripherals, Computers, Desktops, Notebooks

While I was shuffling around in Sayuri to reorganize my files and make room for new articles to be written, I came across this old one. Written last September 14, 2007, I cannot believe how absent-minded I was. Well at least this would save me time from having to whip up another one. :p Seriously, writing for SplashPress is more of therapy and sanity-salvation nowadays. Well, enough pre-article banter. Read on for my experience with and addiction to... Two computers. :p

iMac Aluminum revealed

Posted by Rogue as Apple, Computers, Desktops, Hardware, Mac, Software, Tech Companies

One of the things that I admire about Apple is that they never fail to release products that make you go "I want to buy that NOW!" I blame the near diabolical mind of Jonathan Ive and his team of industrial designers for consistently coming out with such mindblowing designs that make you want to whip out your credit card even without knowing the specs of the damn thing. That tradition of giving us the WOW factor is still very alive when the company officially revealed the iMac Aluminum, ending months of speculation and rumors about the product. The iMac aluminum comes in a, you guessed it, brushed aluminum finish and ...

Zonbu: The $99 PC

Posted by J. Angelo as Desktops, Hardware, Linux

I recently came across a review of Zonbu, the $99 PC that runs on Linux. It's sort of the Mac Mini of the PC world--it's just sold as the CPU itself, without input/output devices nor peripherals like a monitor, keyboard and mouse. However, what's really compelling about Zonbu is the cost.

Looks like Zonbu broke the $100 barrier. At $99 you get a networkable PC that runs the latest open source software, has plug-and-play functionality with popular devices and gadgets like iPods, digital cameras and the like, and other features you would expect from a full-fledged computer (which the Zonbu actually is). One added benefit is that the subscription model includes secure, remote storage of your data and ...

Computer Upgrade Guide: What To Consider (Part 3)

Posted by Jack as Computer Peripherals, Computers, Desktops, Gadgets, Hardware

In the last two Computer Upgrade Guides that I have posted, I discussed the main processor, RAM, storage and graphics. This third part of the guide will now discuss the other important parts that need to be considered when upgrading – namely, the motherboard, the casing and power supply.

Motherboard – There is constant competition among motherboard manufacturers to insert more and more features on to their products as a way of enticing more customers. Asus has recently bumped up the level of competition by deciding to include 802.11g WiFi as well as transparent SATA Raid backup as new features on its top of the line motherboards. Other manufacturers are not intent on being left behind and are currently putting new
