Alienware Aurora 7500 reviewed
eCoustics has a review from PCWorld on the new Alienware Aurora 7500 here. The 7500 features the funky alien looking case combined with a high end AMD Athlon64 X2 dual core processor. The desktop also has support for NVIDIA’s SLI graphics technology for crazy gaming performance when coupled with dual NVIDIA cards. The verdict from PCWorld?
This very fast, expensive PC with an SLI motherboard will appeal to hard-core gamers and graphics enthusiasts with deep pockets. 82 out of 100
Warm your hands using USB heated gloves
I swear - only the Japanese can come up with this stuff sometimes. Thanko is now selling a USB powered glove that heats up when you the gloves are connected to your PC. So if you live in a fairly cold environment and your fingers get cold easily, you just might want to check this thing out. Heck - sometimes my fingers get cold from the AC in the office so these just might do the trick.

Now THIS is PC modding at it’s best folks - carve out a pumpkin and turn it into a full fledged PC! That’s what folks at the computer store of the University of Arkansas did. Plenty of pics on the CNET site!
GPS PRO Dog collar tracking system
Hey dog owners - you can now track your dog while you’re out and about with the new GPS PRO Dog collar tracking system. The concept is fairly simple - attach a collar that contains a built in GPS receiver to your dog. The collar also has a built in GSM modem - why you might ask? Well you can dial up a number that is associated to your dog’s collar and then receive GPS coordinates of your dogs’ whereabouts over your cell phone. Pretty simple. Of course this won’t work all that well if you’re not in an area that has GSM coverage or if your dog has somehow removed the collar.

X-Micro Video Mp3 400 Player and Mini DisGo reviewed
Got|Apex reviews two gadgets today - the X-Micro Video Mp3 400 Player and the X-Micro Mini DisGo here. The MP3 400 player is a tiny portable media player with a 96 x 64 65K OLED display and an FM Tuner while the Mini DisGo is small portable USB 2.0 based hard drive. You’ll get capacities from 5GB to 40GB. The verdict?
I was a little disapointed by the Video MP3 400. While it’s a decent enough mp3 player and radio, and I do like the color display, it’s just too bloody small for videos, pictures or text. It’s got a nice novelty factor, but I really don’t see anyone getting much use out of the video function. Also, I wasn’t really happy with it needing a USB cord, or with the cheap plastic construction. The control scheme isn’t very intuitive, either. I do like it as a music player, but while it is a nice unit, the 400 just tries to do too many things, and masters very few of them. Possibly it’s an age thing, as I’ve seen other reviews that sing the praises of the 400, but these are younger people with younger eyes. My kid thinks it’s wicked cool. Me, I’d rather they dropped the video functions and made it a little easier to use. A decent unit that paired down, would be perfect
A4 Tech NB90 - BatteryFREE Wireless Optical Mouse reviewed
Hi-TechReviews looks at the A4 Tech NB90 - a battery free wireless optical mouse. Some of the features on the NB90 include:
What’s their verdict?
Okay the way the A4 Tech NB90 works may not be rocket science but it is still darn cool stuff to be able to stop wasting batteries on something as silly as a mouse. I have used the NB90 for three weeks now and I can honestly say that is works just as good as any of those high buck mice do and it is not prone to losing a signal like the MS Intelli Mouse was either.
RoadWired Podzilla SLR Camera Bag reviewed
If you find yourself in need of a bag for that new digital camera and all the various accessories that come with it, then head on over to XYZComputing. The folks there review the RoadWired Podzilla SLR Camera Bag. I’ve found that having a camera bag while you’re travelling is an utter life saver. You can have one location where you store the camera, memory cards, power cords, and really anything and everything. Ok. So what does XYZ think of this bag?
In use, I’ve found the Podzilla to be a worthy container for my expensive camera and accessories. When traveling, I’ve even been able to fit the camera, its battery charger, its manual, my PDA, a mini-tripod, and lens caps in the bag with room to spare. For its size, it certainly handles storage efficiently.
The folks over at the BigBruin.com have part II of their HTPC Primer. Part II covers topics such as component speed, cooling, noise, user interface, and style. Those are all very important topics in any HTPC system. It’s our judgement here that the UI you choose will also dictate the type of processor you’ll want. A Windows Media Center OS will have a higher set of system requirements that say something based on Linux. Of course, the faster the processor, the better the cooling you’ll need which directly affects the system noise. Lots to consider folks.
Canon Powershot SD450 reviewed
Here’s yet another review of the Canon PowerShot SD450 from WindowsAtoZ.com. As a reminder, the camera has the following features:
Their verdict on this small digital camera?
In review, the Canon PowerShot SD450 digital camera is perfect for any casual picture taker that just wants a compact camera that can take a quick picture and then can be put back into a pocket quickly. It also does most of the image correction itself, so it’s a no-fuss camera for the novice.
