Today, I have the privilegeof reviewing the Scythe Ninja Mini, one of the newest CPU coolers from Scythe.Scythe has been around 5 years now.

This particular cooler is builtaround performance and silent computing. Will it live up to the standards Scythehas set for itself?

abit IP35 Pro Off Limits Motherboard Review @ Virtual-Hideout
Published: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 | By: DennisFor years, Universal abit has been manufacturing top of the line motherboards, and the trend still continues with the IP35 Pro. This motherboard is loaded features that any enthusiast or mainstream user would enjoy. The Intel P35 chipset is at the heart, and boasts great performance. With a FSB of 1333MHz it will handle the new line of Intel processors, and do so with the addition of solid state capacitors. The chipset is cooled with abit's Silent OTEC cooling system, which is a fancy phrase for heatpipe cooling. A host of other features adorn the IP35 Pro, so let's get on with the review.
Nothing fancy to say here.

Published: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 | By: DennisNot sure why this landed in the newsbox but its a good article on some of the new features of photoshop
Despite the funny nature of the story, it’s true. In my brief stintworking at a magazine I found that people who look attractive in reallife are still unfit for printed perfection. Something can always bedone even to the most glamorous person. -
Auzentech X-Fi Prelude 7.1 Sound Card Review at NVNews.
Published: Tuesday, September 25, 2007 | By: DennisSeems as though they really like the new card from Auzentech, might have to get me a couple.
Auzentech pulled it off. They stuck to their roots, making quality sound cards, while integrating the X-Fi chipset from Creative. This card outperformed the X-Meridian in the synthetic test. More importantly for me, the Prelude beat the X-Meridian in the subjective listening tests -

Leet Dictionary Updated
Published: Sunday, September 16, 2007 | By: DennisThanks to some Goth kid chatter in a forum on the interweb I was able to update the Leet Dictionary with some new leet words that I never considered before. For those of you that don't know the |33+ dictionary is a small collection of "real" leet words that have been passed down over the years and collected for all to enjoy.
The character translations are "suggestions" but do cover the spectrum.
If anyone out there sees some stuff that should be added to this please drop us a line and we'll update the list. Once the Ninjalane Membership system goes online we'll open the dictionary up in a wiki style so others can contribute as they see fit.
