DFI and Ninjalane on YouTube
Published: Friday, August 3, 2007 | By: DennisJust about anybody can be on YouTube but its rather difficult to be on YouTube when you don't actually have control over the video.
Check out what we found when doing a search for "Ninjalane" thru the Google video search. The results can be amazing, well at least we think so.

Ninjalane RSS Is Now Back Online
Published: Wednesday, August 1, 2007 | By: DennisWith Ninjalane version 2 the RSS was handled dynamically with a ASP.Net script but due to server load and the fact that most nobody does dynamic page RSS it was decided to actually to the RSS all proper.
And with that the new RSS feed is live. We'll only be featuring Top Stories, Articles/Reviews/Projects, and Upgrade Alley content in the RSS so you'll have to just stop by the Ninjaforum to see what is going on there. -
Top 5 Linux Myths @ OSWeekly
Published: Wednesday, August 1, 2007 | By: DennisThese are good, while I'm still on Windows I do have a Slackware server running here in the lab and have recently built another server that will become the new Slackware 12 machine so I can finally have things under full source control.
The sheer ignorance regarding casual Linux users astounds me to no end. While I'm not interested in pointing fingers, there is a lot of misinformation about the Linux community, and we will help to dispel some of these myths, once and for all. -

NL: Review Block -Memory
Published: Wednesday, August 1, 2007 | By: DennisMemory is one of those things that you either have too much of the wrong type or not enough of the kind you need.
- Buffalo FireStix 2x1GB PC2-9600 5-6-6 at Overclockers Online
- Patriot 2x1GBPC2-9200 1150MHz Memory Kit Review @ Virtual-Hideout
I really doubt my razzing of Patriot for not returning my emails will work like it did with Crucial but here it goes.
to Patriot memory: "I show you so much respect and you can't even hit reply and acknowledge that I'm being heard or to say something like "piss off", I mean com'on what kind of company are you??."
Oh and don't give me that crap that you get thousands of emails a day from people like me, well all know you're just lazy. -
CoolerMaster Cosmos Case Review @ dvhardware
Published: Wednesday, August 1, 2007 | By: DennisWe were given a tour of this case at Computex this year and can honestly say its an amazing piece of work.
Cooler Master's latest case is the Cosmos RC-1000, this case aims to offer very quiet operation and with its four big aluminum handles the design of this case definitely stands out from the crowd. The Cooler Master Cosmos case features a special airflow system, it has one intake fan one the bottom and uses three outtake fans. The firm says this creates a negative pressure effect which will draw in more cool outdoor air into the interior to keep all your components cool. Besides airflow Cooler Master also thought about soundproofing, cable management and tool-free design. In the next few pages I will discuss all of these aspects and see if it works as advertised.. -

Not so good with the news postings - Update
Published: Monday, July 23, 2007 | By: DennisIt would seem that my hopes of getting on a regular news posting schedule has failed. I'm just throwing out an apology to all of you coming back hoping to see something new.
To that end I do have some good news.
- There is a review scheduled for publication later today. (as of this posting)
- Also with any luck the RSS feed should be back online later this week. I have to alter the new publishing process to support how we're doing RSS to make sure nothing gets released that isn't ready for human consumption.
- Not sure anyone really noticed but I added some social bookmarking links to the bottom of each review, I'd urge everyone that finds our content of value to help us out and give them a click.
- I've also been working on a multipart article about Ninjalane, it will take me a few weeks to get everything posted but I feel the information will be helpful to the community.
