I've fallen in love with the beautiful colored keyboards that gamer-oriented PC makers like Hypersonic and Alienware sell. Unfortunately none of them sell my favorite keyboard, Microsoft's Natural Multimedia Keyboard. Does anyone know of another 3rd party online store that sells high quality...

I was wondering if anyone knew of a IE compatiable popup killer that works as seemlessly and accurately as Mozilla's built-in one?

I'm thinking of buying a iPod soon, but have a couple of questions: 1. Does the iPod have any trouble playing MP3's encoded with VBR? 2. Does the iPod have any trouble reading ver. 2.3 ID3 tags?

I recently used a Mac running OSX for an extended period of time. One of things I really liked about it was how the Finder worked when in column view. It had three columns and would slide over to the next column after selecting a folder. I was wondering if anyone knew of an alternative to...

Anyone else find Apple's new commercials, the ones trying to get Windows users to switch to Mac's, stupid and annoying? From a company that has made some of the best commercials around, these new ones are just plain bad.

Hi, I'm looking at buying a new PC gamepad and I'm wondering if anyone can offer some suggestions for ones with the features I'm looking for. I'll almost exclusively be using the gamepad to play console emulator games (NES mostly.) Here are some things that are a must for me: Windows XP...

I'm considering buying a new hard drive soon and was wondering if I could get some opinions on what the most reliable brand is. If it matters, I'm looking at getting a 80-120GB IDE 7200RPM drive which will be used to store my entire CD collection which I will be converting to MP3's, and store...

Hi, I'm considering converting my entire CD music collection over to MP3's on my computer, but I'm having trouble estimating how big a hard drive I would need to store my collection. I estimate I have about 300-325 CD's which I would convert to MP3 at 320kbps constant. Is there a computer...
