Sony Vaio VGN-UX50 uPC review
Ultra portable PCs (uPC) seem to be really hot right now. With
Microsoft’s Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC) / Origami devices being announced here there and everywhere, it looks like this product category has the potential to become as popular as PDAs were a few years ago.
Maybe… Exactly one year ago I reviewed the
Sony Vaio VGN-U71P ultra portable Windows XP PC. Despite a few minor complaints, that little guy made a very good travel companion. To this day I kick myself for deciding to get rid of it… Especially now that I don’t have even one Windows PC in the house any longer. Yes, Mac person here.

I really need help. I think I’m turning into my Dad… Ever since buying my Mazda 3 5 door (zoom zoom) almost 2 weeks ago, I’ve been reading car forums for modifications and add-ons. I even went into an AutoZone yesterday where I purchased a California Duster, microfiber towels and Mequire’s Quick Interior Detailer spray.

DualCor just released this cPC FAQ on their site. I have had a rough copy since May 18, but I didn’t post it because I was asked not to. The one thing that has stopped bothering me about the cPC is that it doesn’t come with an out-of-the-box wireless network solution. After ordering and then

Tricod Inc. 5.6 Inch Digital Photo Frame
Digital photo frames sure have come down in price over the past few years. I reviewed the Digi-Frame DF-560 in May of 2002. At that time this 5.6 inch frame had a whopping price tag of $549! Now here it is 4 years later and I’m going to show you a digital frame from Tricod Inc. that looks almost identical to the DF-560, but costs $400 less. At $149, this frame can even play music and video. Check it out.

I want to tell you about some cool key rings that I received the other day. They are called NITE Glowrings because they…um…glow :o) They are made of Polycarbonate with a small vial of Tritium encased inside them. Tritium is a gaseous substance that reacts with the phosphor coating inside the vial. This reaction causes

SCOTTeVEST SeV Performance T-Shirt
A year ago, when I reviewed the SCOTTeVEST SeV T-Shirt, there were quite a few people that immediately saw how great a Personal Area Network (PAN) enabled t-shirt such as this could be for their workouts, but there was one caveat – the first generation shirt was made of 100% heavy cotton. While a heavy
