Force 3D Radeon HD4850
Those of you who thought NVidia was sinking the final nails into ATi's coffin, think again. ATi's next generation Radeon, the 4800 series has scored a direct hit with pixel pushing power and a price point so low that NVidia had to drop prices significantly to compete. Let me explain.

Xigamatek Red Scorpion S1283
Direct heat pipe technology on CPU coolers is becoming more frequent than ever, at Tech-Reviews we reviewed a Nexus HOC-9000 a few days ago which made use of this new technology. The results from the heatsink bundle were good, but nothing to shout about. Today we’ve got another entry to the ‘direct heat pipe’ family, the Xigmatek Red Scorpion S1283. Unlike the Nexus, the Red Scorpion hasn’t been designed for silence in mind; instead, it’s been designed for pure performance and efficiency. Well let’s just see shall we…

Cheetah LCD HDTV Screen Protector Review
The Nintendo Wii is one of the most innovative console systems in recent memory. It has become incredibly popular with all age groups due to the motion sensing ability of the controllers. Unfortunately, one risk in using these controllers is the possibility of them flying out of one’s hands and hitting other people or objects. Although they do come with a safety strap, some people eschew them while playing the Wii. Combine this situation and the increased number of LCD and Plasma TVs found in todays households, this creates a recipe for disaster. A smashed display can truly be a devastating scenario.

Tagan Black Pearl Case Review
Tagan is a company that was founded in 2001 by a group of technical professionals from all over the world who gathered to discuss the growing problems associated with power supplies at the Taipei Computex show. This discussion was the catalyst for the members of that conversation to learn more about the complexities of power supplies and what was needed to make them more reliable, stable and easy to work with for the end user. Thus from that meeting the idea was born for the company Tagan to take shape and begin to form.

Qpad CT Mousepad Review
A few years ago we looked at a few Qpad mousepads and since then these pads have been used by us. I have not been able to find another pad that works as well as these and and because of this we are going to look at the new CT pad which is available in various sizes and colors. This new CT pad lets you choose between a soft or hard top depending on the thickness you choose.

LapLogic AeroGel Extreme Lapdesks Review
We've reviewed plenty of laptop desks here at VH. Why? Well because I'm an avid believer that most people use their laptops on their laps and not on a table top and that means you need protection from the heat and also comfort for your lap. Also, with laptops pretty much surpassing desktops in sales numbers now, it's no secret that there's millions of laptops in use and that means millions of laps that need a working space and protection. That also means millions of different laps and personal needs and creating the perfect laptop desk for the masses is easier said than done.

Army designates year's best inventions
Every spring, the U.S. Army designates a set of top inventions from the preceding year. Rather than radical, out-of-the-blue creations, the list tends more toward refinements on existing gear, but that doesn't make them any less significant for the soldiers who use that gear in battlefield conditions.

Coolink GFXChilla VGA Cooler
"The test results show that the Coolink GPUChilla dropped the idle temperatures by 49% and the load temperatures by an impressive 45%! Our only complaint on the Radeon HD 4850 was how hot the card ran and the Coolink GPUChilla took cooling to the next level. The 49% reduction at idle put the Radeon HD 4850 at 33C, which is better than we expected. The factory heat sink works, but it obviously leaves room for improvement...

Why Microsoft will win Yahoo
In the end, Microsoft is almost surely going to end up owning Yahoo's search business. That's the only conclusion I can come up with, having spent months talking to Microsoft's senior leadership for a recent story on the company. And even what does seem like erratic behavior on the part of Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer et al points toward that inevitable conclusion.
