Tuesday, it’s the day of the week that follows Monday and before Wednesday. I was curious today what Tuesday meant and haven’t really found a good definition.  It also appears that Tuesday is not an extremely historical day, although there are of course some interesting happenings. Do something today to make it a little more enjoyable whereever you are. HIGHLIGHT REVIEW …

This week we purchased a new family vehicle, a Ford Edge.  After checking out a number of internet reviews and of course a few personal ones were offered, we had made our decision.  Everyone had an opinion, including me on what would be best for our needs and wants. It reminded me of why we do this website in the first place. To offer opinions, …

A new week is upon us and it’s time to get back into the swing of things. Well for a week anyway. One of the great things about our summer is all the mini-vacations that we take. Almost every weekend is a new adventure, whether we are on our motorcycles or in our truck. It keeps us fresh and we meet so …

June has almost passed us by and the official beginning of summer here in Ontario, Canada starts with the end of school and the July 1st long weekend.

Those who are fortunate enough head to their cottages for the first time, others will hold or attend yard sales. If your not familiar with this national holiday, it is a celebration of Queen Victoria’s …

Top baby names for the first quarter of 2012 have been released.   Nice to see some ‘traditional names’. How does one come up with a baby name  these days?  How you do you look at your baby and decide you should be named ‘square’, (you get my drift).  There are people named fruits, articles, historical events, didn’t we used to call those ‘nicknames’. …

Todays SSD landscape consists of two major players, LSI SandForce and Marvell, both of whom seem to be in a cat fight for top spot with several companies using their controller architecture in their respective SSD products. Plextor has wisely chosen the server-grade Marvell 88SS9174 Marvell processor for their M3 and our report will give you an in depth view …

What happened to the simplicity of video games? Remember Simon, just using your memory to hit the right color. Then of course there was Atari entering the market.  Did you sit for hours trying to get Pacman to race the maze or organizing blocks in Tetris before the speed got you. A couple of my personal favorites were Paperboy and …

Today’s review will be just a bit different as we transition from the typical SSD review to that of CPU as Intel was nice enough to send along a newly released Sandy Bridge E i7-3820 for us to take a look at.
