Early-Adopters Must Learn to Wait
Early-adopter shouldn’t mean beta-tester. The Jawbone UP saga is a great example of this: pushed out too soon, eagerly picked up by keen geeks, and now the subject of a huge refunds program that’s costly both financially for Jawbone and in terms of their all-important reputation. Yet do we bring some of this post-purchase misery upon ourselves – as consumers, enthusiasts, geeks – in prioritizing and praising so doggedly the very first to market? Manufacturers have learned we’ll gobble up what we’re given, rough edges and all.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Core Review Round-Up
Tis the season for PC innards, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Core is just the limited-edition graphics card you may have been looking for, what with its vast similarities to the existing GTX 560 Ti already on the market and its cut-back GF110 in its guts. The GPU you’ve got here, the GF110, was originally used in the GeForce 580, then again in the GTX 570, and now here in the GTX 560 Ti 448 Core, it being cut back each time to accommodate the lower powered systems.

Batman: Arkham City PC Review
When you speak about Batman: Arkham City, you speak about not only the next chapter in a line of games that’ve redefined the superhero genre of video games, but have taken the ultra-immersive nature of the detective / puzzle solving game and have made it intuitive enough to be enjoyable for all – and the graphics are absolutely unmatched. What we’ve got here is a rig provided by NVIDIA to test this game specifically, an Alienware M17xR3 gaming laptop with a GeForce GTX 580 DirectX 11 GPU inside, this along with the newest set of NVIDIA 3D Vision 2 wireless 3D glasses. It’s a very GREEN situation, needless to say, and playing the most advanced game on the market with the most impressive graphics processor on the planet, this is almost a no-brainer.
Warpia StreamHD Review
Right this moment you are two USB dongles and a handful of simple clicks away from displaying your computer’s display on your HDTV, no questions asked. What we’ve got here is the Warpia StreamHD wireless HD media transmitter and right out of the box you’ll be able to plug in and make it happen, just so long as you’re using a Windows computer and your television is able to work with HDMI, as all good high definition televisions should be these days. Take a look here at how neat this little setup is and how you, yes you, can now watch Netflix on your non-internet television without the heinous acts of purchasing an Xbox or an iPad 2. Of course if you’ve got those, then there’s no reason for this, right? Wrong, mister, there’s so many things you could do with this little set of gadgets that it’s unreal.
Acer Veriton Z2620G all-in-one PC Review
The brand new Acer Veriton Z2620G is a lovely all-in-one machine that’s meant to look nice on your desktop at home or in the office. What you’ll notice in this machine that sets it aside from the rest of the pack is its ability to impress even before the cool green-lit on button is pressed. You’ll be running Windows 7 professional out of the box, but what you get when you run it is so so much more. This isn’t the highest spec-having computer in the world, but it’s definitely worth a double-take look for the cash it costs. Is this your new desktop computer for the next 2 years or so? Let’s have a look!
