Audio-Technica ATH-EW9 Headphones Review
CoolTechZone.com posted a review on the Audio-Technica ATH-EW9 Headphones

Since there are many niche companies that provide excellent earphones and headphones, it becomes increasingly difficult to narrow down the hundreds of high-end products that will better suit your needs. Besides the number of designs, customization options and price points, it’s important to consider the type of music you generally listen to.

Freespire 1.0 Review
Linux Forums posted a review on Freespire 1.0

You've probably heard of Lindows, one of the most controversial Linux distributions. Through aggressive marketing and the use of open-source and home-made software they were trying to provide an alternative to Microsoft Windows. After being repeatedly sued by the Redmond firm, they came to arrangement and were paid $20m to change their name. They became Linspire.

Linspire has never been popular among Linux users. Their releases are not available for free (the digital download costs $50) and they use a lot of proprietary software. In fact, I never tried Linspire. Not only wasn't I willing to pay for something which didn't look as good as other distributions, but I was quite certain I wouldn't like it.

Recently, a community driven project, sponsored by Linspire, announced their first release: Freespire 1.0. Not only does the project make its releases available for free, it is driven by the community and it even offers an OSS version of the distribution which does not contain proprietary or restricted technology.

Shuttle SN27P2 Review
Bit-Tech posted a review on Shuttle's SN27P2 motherboard, which supports AMD's new AM2 processors and has an NVIDIA nForce 570 chipset to boot.

The SN27P2 is a wholly integrated and clever barebones system that performs as well as a full ATX system, but only takes a fraction of the space. With support for AMD's socket AM2 processors, the SN27P2 is a pretty sweet barebones unit if you're not looking to overclock. Rockin'.

Simply Mepis 6.0 - Simply a solid option for a Linux Distro that works
KnoLinux published a review on Simply Mepis 6.0

SimplyMepis 6.0 has been around for a bit now, but in my effort to review the most popular and easiest distros marketed today, there simply is no way to skip over this product. Mepis itself is not too new, having been around in one form or another for a couple of years. Recently, Warren Woodford moved his product to be based on Ubuntu which is a really strong distro and extremely popular. Warren's story is similar to that of many people who create their own distros; he just wanted one that worked the way he wanted it too. I myself gave the distro a run in its beta stages and was very impressed with the extras that Mepis added to an already great package. For clarity sake, it would technically be closer to Kubuntu, but that is neither here nor there as switching from Ubuntu to K is as simple as one right click and apply.
