As 2014 comes to a slow end, and 2015 bringing us new technology, Microsoft is hard at work on their newest operating system, Windows 9; or at least that’s what we’re calling it for now. It may be safe to say that the days of clever naming schemes of XP and Vista are gone. Over the previous week, two German based websites leaked a large assortment of screenshots showing off new features of Windows 9. Hitting towards a Windows 7 desktop style, but carrying over the Windows 8 metro applications, Microsoft appears to be reaching out to both the PC…
“Our brand is sponsored by a famous singer!” “Check out our brand, we have 7.1 audio in a headset!” We see these statements all the time when researching headphones. Businesses in the audio market use these particular statements to attain two goals. Goal number one being to increase popularity. The product doesn’t have to be built to the best standards, or sound the best, but as long as popular iconic faces recommend the product people will buy it; it’s all about the sales numbers. Number two, is usage of false statements when selling the product. 7.1 audio surround sound capabilities…
Whether its rock and roll, blues, country, pop, rap, or instrumental, we all enjoy some type of music genre. With most of the world embracing the smartphone market and shifting away from MP3 players, one thing hasn’t changed; the way we listen to our music. Many years ago, CD and cassette players were all the rage. Portable music players that allowed you to bring your music collection with you wherever you go! It didn’t matter if you were going on a long car ride or taking a walk down the streets of New York City. You can still buy CD…
Whether you are a college student looking to play some tunes outside or a car guy needing some background music while you tune up the car, portable speakers have become handy devices. Gone are the days of carrying around a boom box over your shoulder as technology has taken us into an era of compact yet loud portable speakers. Do a Google search for “portable speakers” and you will find thousands of different shapes, colors, styles, designs, and features. So which one is right for you? Are you a user who just needs a speaker out in the garage? Or…
Hard drives play an important role in our computers. They provide you with a safe, efficient, and effective way to store your important electronic data. However, at times, these drives can fail leaving you with corrupt data or vanishing partitions. If this does happen to you, there are many free data recovery programs to help assist you in saving your data. At certain times, one or more partitions may not appear when you click on Start > Computer, but they will appear in Disk Management. This situation arises when Windows is either reinstalled or an external drive is disconnected incorrectly.…
Headsets in general allow people to enter into their own virtual world. Whether that be listening to the climax of a movie or the foot steps behind you in a computer game. As I have said in the past, your computer peripherals are really what makes your experience come to life. Having reviewed many different types of audio equipment lately, I have gained a respectable sense of what makes a good audio device. There are many companies out there who sell “gaming headsets”, but what is a gaming headset? Is it a headset that is only good for gaming? Or…
A few months ago, I had the opportunity to review Kingston’s first attempt of a mobile NAS. Being a Network Attached Storage device, this first generation allowed users to share music, movies, videos, photos, and more across multiple (five) mobile devices simultaneously. First impressions of the first generation offered a great experience. Never before had I used a home NAS, and I found that with the ability to quickly share files between certain devices, the MobileLite G1 became a useful product. When reviewing the G1, I mentioned in my review that I found the device to be nearly flawless. With…
As any computer enthusiast will know, keeping a cooled computer is essential. Cooled components will see an increased product life, improve performance, and provide better stability. Whether you use a prebuilt computer, from companies like Dell or HP, or a custom built computer, they all need adequate cooling. Computer cooling is performed by the CPU cooler and most importantly the case fans. Many computer cases already come with preinstalled fans, however, their quality and performance can be questionable. Plus, many computer cases can hold more fans than those which are supplied. So where do you find quality fans with outstanding…
As the battle, race, or story line continues in your video game, you become immersed as well as more involved in what’s going on. Your gaming setup is dependent on your peripherals like video quality, console capability, and most importantly the sound quality. After years of usage, my stock Xbox 360 wireless microphone just isn’t holding up to the age of time. Having just a single small speaker and microphone that is far away from your mouth, I decided it was time for an upgrade. Following online forums, doing research, and looking around online, I stumbled upon the Turtle Beach…
