We posted our review of the diNovo Edge a little while ago and although it had its faults, we found it to be a pretty capable keyboard. Although, it is hard to justify spending $200 on a keyboard. They have very similar thoughts as we do. Sexy.. Sexy.. Sexy.. but expensive and the trackpad is a touch annoying. From the […]

If I was lucky enough to have a next gen DVD player, I would likely pick up The Departed and thats about it from this latest bunch of releases. Sure the HD goodness is nice, but it isn't quite enough to make me pick up a movie. If I want pointless HD fun I will go watch HD New or […]

I don't know […]
