5. No Multitasking
I can’t speak for most of you guys but I use my computers a lot. Even as I’m writing this article, I have a Chrome window, a Firefox window, and a Virtual DJ window up along with my Zune software. Most power users like to have multiple applications running at the same time. Not that the power user will be using this device to multitask, this device is clearly designed to be used by the entry level consumer, but multitasking would still be a nice feature to have or at least...
No, I have not been slacking off. Well, maybe a bit. But mark my words, the review is coming soon. However, there have been rumors confirmed about the HD.

As I didn’t receive a test chip of my own, I can’t give you a personal walk through of the product, instead I’ll be giving a summary of the...
RIM has, over the past couple of years, been working on transforming the image of its BlackBerry line from “stuffy corporate tool” to “consumer-friendly mobile phone.” It is a tough balancing act, both in delivering both the security, features, and management platform that corporate and IT customers demand, as well as the media, social networking, and web-friendly apps that...
The rumor mill has been running wild this morning about the upcoming Nvidia Fermi GPU. The graphics chip which already shares so many similarities with Intel’s now nearly defunct Larrabee GPU, (full programmability, multi-cored operation), is also now sharing Larrabee’s core feature, delay. According to rumor generated by a Fermi specs sheet PDF, the part which is integral to Nvidia’s future...

Santa Claus came down the chimney this year and gifted me with a 32GB Zune HD. I am almost finished my drooling, and will be putting out a review soon. I will do my best to cover every single aspect of this device. I will destroy people’s opinions on the Zune HD, as well as make new ones. Get ready.
What do you want in a computer case? A great design to impress your gaming buddies? A low thermal footprint so you can use your overclocked processors? Maybe just a clean interior design that doesn’t leave the cables in mounds on top of all your components, blocking airflow and causing unnecessary wear and tear?
