COOL TECH: HP’s new TouchSmarts kick iMac’s Butt – Unboxing and Review!

FRESH Tech: Toshiba Announces new Ultra Portable Laptops
I don’t know, my sweet spot for laptop viewing are the 15 inchers. I find anything less than that kind of difficult to work with. So I’m not a fan of the so-called netbooks or ultra-portables.

LAPTOP REVIEW: Alienware’s m15x gets Reviewed!
I love the folks at Alienware they have always been good to me but they make great, but faulty products. Over a year ago I reviewed their latest and greatest laptop the Area 51 m7500. I loved that laptop so much that I went out and purchased one. It was plagued with hardware issues for […]
UNBOXING – Alienware Area – 51 m15x, one of the fastest laptops in the world Unboxing
I never understood this whole fascination people have for unboxing videos and pictures.

Guitar Hero made me get a Real Guitar and eMedia’s essential Rock Guitar started me on my way!
Awhile ago I talked about a little company called eMedia Music, they specialize in creating self-paced music training CD-Roms and DVDs.
