Microsoft notebook Cooling Base and extra Arc Mice colours
It’s all very well having the Xbox but, what with the notebook market currently under explosion, you can understand why Microsoft might not be feeling the love in the PC hardware market.
So, today, they set aside their Lifecams and announce a slightly pointless laptop cooling station for the price of $29.95…
Sidewinder X6: new gaming mouse and keyboard from Microsoft
Microsoft have never gone for the sleek look that characterises products from Apple. Their gear is always more utilitarian – as many buttons and flashing lights as possible. That's not to say that they don't look good, however. The…
Logitech V550 the clip on mouse that follows you everywhere you go
Logitech has launched a new mouse today designed for those with annoying laptops or a fear of trackpads. The Logitech V550 “Clip-and-Go” sounds rather like a shampoo advert but is actually quite a neat little peripheral that sticks to the side of your notebook like a lone limpet…
Four way Wii remote charger on its way
You can complain all you want about the Wii being just a party gaming machine that doesn’t cater to the ‘core gamers, but at the end of the day it is a GREAT party gaming machine that doesn’t cater to the ‘core gamers. However if you want to have a proper Wii party, you’ll need three other noobs a full collection of Wii remotes. The trouble is, they will invariably run out of batteries mid Kart race and you’ll be left desperately searching for fresh ones inside old TV remotes and that ‘massage’ device your wife keeps.
Idiot analyst predicts death of mouse by 2013
Just to clarify: that’s not one individual mouse – such as a cheeky, fun-loving rodent inhabiting said analyst’s house, much to the annoyance of his hapless, accident-prone cat. No he’s talking about the humble computer mouse, invented back in 1963 by Douglas Engelbart and probably now attached to over a billion personal computers even as I type this. No matter; Garter analyst Steve Prentice reckons that their final days will come in the next 3-5 years.

Fujitsu claims to have the world's largest capacity mobile hard drive, at 300GB
If there’s anyone out there reading this, who hasn’t yet moved to storing their music and photo libraries on external hard drives, I recommend you do so as soon as possible. I recently transferred most of my data to one, and the extra speed I’ve received after departing with 90GB of photos and music is amazing.
Fujitsu is here to save the day with what they’ve dubbed the world’s largest capacity external mobile hard…
Review: Creative Xmod
The propaganda
The Xmod is Creative’s first external sound card to implement X-Fi technology. X-Fi has been securing Creative’s leading position in the sound card market for a long time thanks to its excellent sound quality enhancing functions. The Xmod offers a similar feature set to full blown X-Fi cards, incorporating CMSS 3D and Crystalizer technologies to enhance the quality of your sound output in ways an internal sound card can only dream of.
The Xmod is a compact device that consists of one large multipurpose volume dial and a couple of 3.5mm outputs (for headphones and speakers), along with a 3.5mm input, which allows you to use the device as standalone sound enhancer. Xmod is also completely plug-and-play capable, which takes away all the hassle of installing software and fiddling around with settings.
