Hiyatek CF-6160-1 Laptop Cooling Pad Review
Bigbruin.com has posted a review on the Hiyatek CF-6160-1 Laptop Cooling Pad

The Hiyatek CF-6160-1 Laptop Cooling Pad is extremely lightweight, and becomes quite compact when the plastic tray is retracted. Those two features make it appealing for use on the go, while the integrated USB hub could be of interest to mobile or stationary users. But while it may operate in near silence regardless of fan speed, you might as well just leave it turned off since it isn't really cooling anything.

Blue Microphones Snowflake Review
Bios Magazine posted a review on the Blue Microphones Snowflake

Blue Microphones' Snowflake is apparently the first portable professional USB microphone to hit the market. But more importantly, its retro design looks stunning. Following on from the company's Snowball Professional USB Microphone, the new microphone sports a more portable design - thus dubbed the Snowflake. You can even hang multiple Snowflakes from your ceiling to simulate a snow storm.

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 280 Video Card Review
Futurelooks checks out nVidia's new top dog GPU

The GeForce GTX 280, and it’s little brother the GeForce GTX 260, were released in June of this year. This is just three months after the release of the GeForce 9 series. Now it may be based off the same unified architecture, but on paper, the new GTX 200 series of chips have a definite performance boost over the previously released chips. For starters this new GPU contains 1.4 billion transistors and is made on a 65nm fabrication process. According to some sources this makes the GTX 2xx series a chip with the largest die area ever fabricated for a GPU. The GTX 280 has 240 shaders (stream processors), and comes with 1GB of GDDR3 VRAM on a 512 bit bus. The chip is said to put out approximately 933 GFLOPS of floating point power.

Sony VPL-EX50 Projector Review
Bios Magazine posted a review on the Sony VPL-EX50 Projector

Sony's VPL-EX50 delivers consistently bright images of up to 2500 ANSI lumens. Colours aren't as rich as a good home theatre projector, but the VPL-EX50 isn't designed for DVD and Blu-Ray playback (4:3 native aspect ratio and 900:1 contrast ratio aren't great assets). Sharpness is fantastic, and its features are well conceived, making the VPL-EX50 an excellent projector for use in small to medium-sized venues. The front-inclined design helps achieves optimal image placement, and a short throw distance is perfect if space is limited. As a bonus, the new E-series projector is also easy to maintain, with a long-life filter that is timed to coincide with when the lamp needs to be replaced (around 3000 hours), reducing the number of maintenance sessions required.
