Comdex Day 2 & Site Issues
Published: Wednesday, November 20, 2002 | By: DennisHello everyone, I just got back home from Comdex (short trip I know) and I'm a little jet lagged and need some sleep. I would like to say that Comdex day 2 wasn't as exciting as day 1 (more on that later).
The pictures and writeup should be posted sometime during the course of the day tomorrow.
Until then have a good night. -

Comdex Baby!
Published: Sunday, November 17, 2002 | By: DennisWell I am off to sleep since I have to get up pretty early to catch a flight to Las Vegas for Comdex 2002.
I am planning to post a page with pictures and commentary for the days that I’m there. Stay tuned, barring that Justin and I don't miss our plane we'll say hello again from Las Vegas. -
Logitech vs. Logitech
Published: Sunday, November 17, 2002 | By: DennisThis is has to be one of the strangest reviews that I've ever seen, though since I've been really quite curious about the new MX500 mouse from Logitech, I figured I would check it out. To be honest I'm still curious.

The [H] Coverup
Published: Saturday, November 16, 2002 | By: DennisThis is getting to be pretty interesting, Here is the skinny. Kyle posted a review of the new 3.06 P4 and shortly after posting the review the 3DMark graph changed. The number went from 17829 to 17329 though it is unclear to me if the numbers changed before or after Kyle got cr4p over it.
Here is a clip from the [H]
" After researching this fully for two days, I have been able to pull together 100% factual evidence that a single set of benchmarks in the 3GHz article were changed after publication of the article. The 3DMark benchmark was changed from "17829" to "17329". The fact of the matter is that we did not note this change. It is standard operating procedure that anytime a portion of an article is changed, outside spelling and grammar, it is noted and explained as to why the change was made. This was not done." -

"The LifeView FlyVideo 2000S is a PCI based TV Tuner, TV Capture, and FM tuner card. There are a couple of versions available, the 2000 and the 2000S, the only difference is that the "S" version supports stereo sound" -
