For those of us who were dreaming of faster USB transfer rates, it looks like we'll have to wait for a few more years due to Intel balking on the costs of USB 3.0. Sure, like everything it'll cost more to start with but couldn't they just offer it on higher end machines for now?
Just in case you forgot, here's every startup and shutdown sound from every Windows OS.
All of us now live in fear that our computers will be stolen since they contain our lives, pictures, financial information and more. So what can you do if your laptop is stolen? Joshua Alston used software called "Log Me In" to spy on his laptop thief until he could figure out who he was, where he was and reported him to the police. Also, he had some fun at the thief's expense by deleting his files and messing with him.
If the Hong Kong company, Brando could get all of their gadgets into US stores, they'd make a fortune because no matter how cool their stuff is, I don't quite trust buying direct from them yet.

If you've ever had to change a drive in a computer, you can appreciate what the Century KD25/35Pro HDD Duplicator can do. All you do is plug both drives in and start it, no computer necessary! I want to upgrade the drive in my computer and I wish I had this. However, I feel that its $450 price tag should be put toward a new computer... (source - RedFerret)

When I was a kid, my dad loved taking pictures. He used to annoy all of us by interrupting our fun and making us stand still and look like we were enjoying ourselves. He could've just taken some candid action shots but nooooooo. "Stop having fun and being kids and stand still and look like you're having fun!" he would say. But anyhoo... I'm happy he did take all of those great pictures but the downside is that he put everything on slides. Back in the day, slides were great but just try and find a slide projector now. In order to archive boxes of slides it used to cost a fortune, either by paying someone or buying an overpriced slide scanner. Now you can get a stand alone slide scanner for only $109! It will scan everything to an SD card so you don't even need a computer. You can even preview the picture on the built in screen. This is a bargain!
