Up for review today I’ve got a power supply from Sparkle, it’s their Gold Class Series that features 80 Plus certification. This power supply is their top of the line model, and rightly so as it comes with more than enough power to handle most any system. It features plenty of connections so you’ll have more than enough for your needs. It has a large and quiet 13.9cm fan to help keep it cool even under the toughest loads. Read on to learn more…

"I’ve never reviewed a label maker before. I honestly never thought I’d need one. I never wanted one. I’ve since changed my mind on all of that, I’ve got a label maker now, a nice one actually and that’s what I’ve got for you right now. Today for review I’ve got the Epson LabelWorks LW-400 Label Printer that will change the way you look and think of label makers, I know it did for me. The LabelWorks LW-400 is marvel truly, it comes complete with many fonts and styles built right in, but that’s not all. The LW-400 has a very large set of graphics built in as well that can be used for borders or identification or whatever your mind can think up. With the LW-400 you’re not limited to just plain labels either, you can purchase many different types, patterns and even colors of labels and you can even do iron-ons with it. "

Paranormal State

I remember when this show came out. I watched a few episodes just because it was Pennsylvania, sort of local basically. I stopped watching as I got bored quickly but I recently started watching again on Netflix and I found it’s just as bad as I remember.

I mean wow, how can something like this show even be on TV ?

The acting is just horrible.

I’ve got it on now and they’re showing pictures of scratches from before the ‘team’ got there, and they play ominous music when they’re shown. So we’re supposed to believe they’re real?! Seriously?

My favorite is that they see things coming towards them but nothing is on the camera and no one else sees them. It all just feels way to overacted to me.

I like watching these shows I guess because it’s not that I believe, it’s more that, to borrow a phrase, I want to believe. I’ve yet to see anything that makes me believe any of it is real.

I’ve watched the Ghost Hunters as well and it’s pretty much more of the same stuff, just with a lot bigger budget than Paranormal State.

I could go on and tell you I’ve seen ghosts, I saw something but I think it was more of the imagination of a small child than anything. I was young and a couple times I saw things, who knows what they were, like I said I think they were my imagination.

I don’t know…

Newer Technology Power2U USB Wall Outlet Review

I normally only post my own reviews here, but this one that my buddy Tom did is of a lot of interest to a lot of people I think. I have one as well for review, but he got his before me, so he got done first.

"It seems everyone is putting out PC cases, I didn’t know MSI was until this one arrived for my review, in fact it’s not even listed on their website yet, but I have it and it’s not bad. Today for review I have the Interceptor Series Nighthawk ATX Mid Tower PC case from MSI. The case is a bit small, but it still has plenty of room for even the largest of video cards along with room for several hard drives and more. The case features tool-less installation, three fans pre-installed including a 200mm sized one on the side. The Nighthawk also with a built-in card reader, that reads pretty much everything, to make your life a bit easier.  "

NewerTech NuTouch Gloves Review

"Brr, it’s cold outside! At least here it is, right now it’s 18 degrees in Fahrenheit anyway. To me that’s cold and I don’t like the cold. One of the must have things about cold weather is gloves, but pretty much all gloves are not exactly compatible with our touchscreen devices so using them in the cold weather poses a problem. The trend lately is fixing that problem with gloves that can be used with touchscreens. Today I’ve got a quick review of what I think is a must have accessory if you live in a cold climate. They’re called NuTouch and they’re from NewerTech and they feature a special conductive fiber that’s woven into the fingertips that makes them usable with capacitive devices like phones and tablets.

"Let’s take a break from the CES stuff for a review. Up for review today I’ve got another product from Verbatim and it’s another card reader but this one is USB 3.0. I have to wonder about this as memory cards really aren’t that fast so how much of a difference is it really going to make going from USB 2.0 to USB 3.0? The Verbatim USB 3.0 Universal Card Reader is nice looking and it can read most any type of cards out there. It’s a card reader so it’s not exactly one of the most exciting things out there, but it does have it’s place in our digital lives. "
