Whatever happened to taking gore to a new level? Well, at least someone's ready to fill us with more about ripping intestines and slicing stomachs. Though the genius hasn't managed to get to our torso yet, he has given us enough reason for palm-bleed. Behold the Thorn Dice with 3D painting that's made to give you a reason to howl, every time you roll. Now where's the Goth in you gone? I'm already wondering how cool this would look around...
It's quite some time now that we're looking at something from Cyber Snipa. The 5.1 Championship headphones may just indicate an auspicious return for them on NewLaunches. There are some downsides to it though, like the unease it can cause to those with big heads and large ears. The headset connects via USB and has eight individual speakers pumping some real good sound. The speakers include those placed in the front, middle and rear, as well as the subwoofer....
Mice makers haven't really one much to cut out that annoying clicking sound that has so haunted some geeks. The sound of a mouse click can bring back thoughts of work, sinister online activity like visiting your first ever porn site, playing a never-ending FPS game and more. So, to eliminate the loudest and most annoying non-speaker sound from your computer, Nexus have put together the Silent Mouse SM-7000B wireless optical mouse with a patented silent technology that ensures...
We have to face the fact that EV chargers aren't the most abundantly available options, so we do have a fair bit of fuss made about the eco-friendly Leviton Evr-Green 120 EV charging devices. The level 1 charger can used as a more portable alternative that needs to be charged in a household point ranging from 15 to 20 Amps. Being a level 1 charger greatly reduces the ability of the charger to charge big batteries quickly. What's important is...
It's not long now that we've heard about the availability of the HTC Flyer, a.k.a. HTC Evo View 4G. Sprint will be the network of choice, no doubt, but the tablet will have wings beyond many imaginations when it's here in its tangible brilliance. To top everything off is the fact that the Android tablet made it to the Mobile World Congress to seduce us, and hey, it still does seduce some of us. With good support from HTC Sense,...

Despite its violence and gore I strongly regard Mortal Kombat as the best fighting game ever built. Minus the blood, splatter, bones and you have got Street Fighter II a game which made an appearance sometime in March 91. Along with Mario this game played a major role in ringing SNES sales. Jackie Chan in City hunter (video after the jump) playing Chun Li is perhaps one of the most horrendous memories of this game. Of course, all of...

While the world is going green, Eric Hittinger a PhD student and researcher in the Department of Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University has voiced his concerns that the Wii isn't necessarily 'greener' than any other of the game consoles when it came to power consumption, in his latest paper, "Power Consumption of Video Game Consoles Under Realistic Usage Patterns." Hittinger quoted: Wii with WiiConnect24 enabled uses 550 Wh of electricity (including active and standby) for each...
Our friends at TUAW got a first-hand review on the Pioneer AVIC in-car unit, launched at CES earlier this year. While the main unit is your standard touchscreen in-dash interface, it comes with a built-in GPS and you can also use it for both in-car audio or video controls. The highlights is that you can hook it up to your iPhone while it is plugged into a dock cable that runs up through the glove compartment, making it works...
Sony are flooding our wish list with some great releases that make you wish for nothing more than the capacity to lay your hands on these. So we have the MCR-NC3000 that drowns more noise than you can imagine that costs quite a lot. A cheaper variation is the NC-13 that cuts out a decent 87.4% of noise as compared to the 99% noise omission from the NC3000. Then there's the RF865RK that tell us about how simple it is...
It's not a smart idea to go in for critical appreciation of notebooks without having the benchmarks to hold them by. So we have the Lenovo T420 and W520 that add more than the lightning speeds of the Intel Sandy Bridge processor. The T420 rolls in with a 14-inch display that dish out resolutions of up to 1600x900 pixels. The 2.5GHz 2520M Intel Core i5 processor is the best that the notebook can have. Up next is the W520 workstation...
