G.I. Headphones

Skullcandy's new G.I. Headphones come in a variety of military-inspired styles, and even come with bullets across the leather band.

These are the kind of headphones you should wear while eating eating a raw steak and spitting.

“Humping Dog” USB flash drive


Though we would probably end up wanting to smash it to little bits after about ten seconds, this “Humping Dog” USB flash drive can make a hell of a Christmas present. At least to your friends with half a sense of humor. It’s simply a USB drive, in the shape of a dog, that humps your latop as soon as it’s plugged in. It doesn’t stop humping, well, ever, so its mechanical whirring gets a little irritating. But hell, it’s humping your laptop, so who cares, right?

One-box home cinema systems


Most one-box home cinema systems are built around small speakers, which sound fine until they're played side-by-side with larger speakers. Bigger speakers do far more justice to voices and music and generally create more atmosphere.

Like the recently introduced Intuos3 6x11, the Intuos3 12x19 features an active area with an aspect ratio (height-to-width) that is a great match to the screen aspect ratio of either a widescreen display or standard displays used together. This provides optimal pen control and efficient use of the entire tablet.

Big Foot Webcam

This Big Foot webcam is not just another pretty shaped USB device, but actually leverages its unique design in a functional way.
This sits on your desk with an adjustable stand and has a low-quality VGA camera, which can be focused and used for still shots or video conferencing, in the middle of the “foot”. (There appears to be a button in the cord to take snap shots.) The big toe of the foot houses a microphone which connects through a separate jack and the other 4 toes have LED lights to brighten up your target.

Computer Motherboard


Computer Mother board and its constituent componentsA typical PC mother board with important components is given below:1. Mouse & keyboard2. USB3. Parallel port4. CPU Chip5. RAM slots6. Floppy controller7. IDE controller8. PCI slot9. ISA slot10. CMOS Battery11. AGP slot12. CPU slot13. Power supply plug in 1. Mouse & keyboard: Keyboard Connectors are two types basically. All PCs have a Key board port connected directly to the motherboard. The oldest, but still quite common type, is a special DIN, and most PCs until recently retained this style connector. The AT-style keyboard connector is quickly disappearing, being replaced by the smaller mini DIN PS/2-style keyboard connector.You can use an AT-style keyboard with a PS/2-style socket (or the other way around) by using a converter. Although the AT connector is unique in PCs, the PS/2-style mini-DIN is also used in more modern PCs for the mouse. Fortunately , most PCs that use the mini-DIN for both the keyboard and mouse clearly mark each mini-DIN socket as to its correct use. Some keyboards have a USB connection, but these are fairly rare compared to the PS/2 connection keyboards. 2. USB (Universal serial bus): USB is the General-purpose connection for PC. You can find USB versions of many different devices, such as mice, keyboards, scanners, cameras, and even printers. a USB connector's distinctive rectangular shape makes it easily recognizable. USB has a number of features that makes it particularly popular on PCs. First, USB devices are hot swappable. You can insert or remove them without restarting your system. 3. Parallel port: Most printers use a special connector called a parallel port. Parallel port carry data on more than one wire, as opposed to the serial port, which uses only one wire. Parallel ports use a 25-pin female DB connector. Parallel ports are directly supported by the motherboard through a direct connection or through a dangle. 4. CPU Chip : The central processing unit, also called the microprocessor performs all the calculations that take place inside a pc. CPUs come in Variety of shapes and sizes.Modern CPUs generate a lot of heat and thus require a cooling fan or heat sink. The cooling device (such as a cooling fan) is removable, although some CPU manufactures sell the CPU with a fan permanently attached. 5. RAM slots: Random-Access Memory (RAM) stores programs and data currently being used by the CPU. RAM is measured in units called bytes. RAM has been packaged in many different ways. The most current package is called a 168-pin DIMM (Dual Inline Memory module).

Intel Core i7


Intel has now officially confirmed the name of its future processor chips based on Nehalem architecture to be called ‘Core i7′. The new Intel Core i7 will be the seventh generation of Intel architecture since the 8086 days. It is said to be available in two editions: the Regular Core i7 and the high performing Extreme Intel Core i7 . More on i7 series after the jump.
Features of the Intel Core i7 lineup:
Dual-core and Quad-core mainstream processors
Point-to-point connections between the processor and peripherals using QuickPath interconnect system.
On-die memory controller
Can handle more than 4 threads at once, means faster speeds
Advanced Hyperthreading technology will utilize the threads to do even more work

Core 2 Quad


The QX6700 is based on the same 65nm manufacturing process as the other Core 2 processors. It incorporates a total of 8MB of L2 cache, as 4MB per pair of cores. Therein lies a problem: the two caches aren't interconnected. So each pair of cores shares 4MB of cache, and if processor A of core-pair X needs something from the cache of core-pair Y, it has to go out to memory. Juggling cache access to make sure the four cores don't get out of sync with each other is no trivial task.
