Computer Ed Radio Show (Broadcast July 25, 2010)
Computer Ed this week begins the show hoping that Apple would let the iPhone mess die but forced to go back to it again as Apple goes on the offensive trying to shift the issue to other phones. Once we get past Apples latest PR mess, Computer Ed takes a look at the ATI 5500 series refresh and specifically the 5550 with GDDR5. Taking this card in the context it was marketed, Computer Ed shows that this was a lot more than a refresh and the 5550 is now a solid choice for an entry level gaming card.

Introduction
The 1950s and 1960s were a much different time in the United States. Obviously, it was a simpler era without computers or cell phones, and even television was still a pretty novel idea. A tremendous icon of the era was it's automobiles. America was car crazy, and there were no conservation thoughts when the"Big Three" (GM, Ford and Chrysler) pumped out larger and larger engines designed to get you from point A to point B quicker than you had ever gotten there before. Even today many of the production vehicles of the 1950s and 1960s remain the most desired in the world.

After suing Microsoft for patent infringement, Uniloc USA is now turning its sights on a host of other companies. In a suit filed in U.S. District Court in the eastern district of Texas Thursday, Uniloc is alleging that its patent for software activation is being violated by the likes of Sony, McAfee, Activision, Quark, Borland Software, and Aspyr Media. The patent in question #5,490,216, awarded to Uniloc founder Ric Richardson in 1996, covers a method for registering and activating software locked to one PC. The technology was developed as a way to prevent users from freely installing or copying a single software program to multiple machines. Legal action was taken to "protect our products and our company," Uniloc CEO Brad Davis said in a statement.

One of the best features of the SST-HDDBOOST is that you are not limited to any SSD... "

Introduction
As a society, we are constantly on the go. In constant motion, we require a multitude of devices from phones and media devices to portable game consoles. We've come to rely on these devices to keep us up to date on what our friends are up to and what is going on in the world. Over the years our cellphones have become more and more of a necessity in our lives over the other devices. Ten years ago if I had left the house without my cellphone, I'd have to be pretty close to turn back for it. Now, it almost comes down to a panic attack of what to do when it is not near me. When it works, I barely keep in mind how often I'm checking RSS, email, headlines or any other feed I am instantly connected to at the tap of my finger.

Introduction
The mythical fire breathing dragon is a force of overwhelming terror and destruction. It is an avatar of fear and despair; a symbolic flame that tempers those who are brave enough to face it and obliterates those that do not measure up. Time has made immortal, the legend of those who have stood triumphant on the carcass of this beast. Storied tales of dragon slayers recounted through the ages in literature and the arts; their act of victory inspiring paintings, sculptures, books, films and now a computer chassis!

MSI GeForce GTX 460 1GB Cyclone Video Card @ Tweak Town |

Affiliate News
" Our first GTX 460 review was of the MSI Cyclone 768MB. Straight away it showed us what the GTX 460 was going to be about; good power at an even better price. Once we had a look at that we then checked out some 1GB models. Unlike most cards, the 1GB model wasn't just more memory, but it increased the memory bus width while adding some more ROPs at the same time. The problem we had was that the GIGABYTE card we looked at wasn't overclocked as much as the 768MB Cyclone from MSI. The Galaxy and Palit cards we then looked at afterwards instead had clocks so much higher. Until today we didn't have a chance to really see what the difference between the 768MB version and the 1GB version was on a more even keel. "
