I just picked up a 64mb Lexar 8x CompactFlash card with USB enabled features. It included a 'JumpShot' cable (basically, the CF card has onboard USB interface, and the jumpshot cable just converts the CF cards connection edge to a USB plug, and lets the CF card talk to the PC over USB without a...

CompUSA has the Voodoo3 3000 PCI for $79.90. I just picked one up, sweet deal. If this was already posted, well, then you got a free reminder :P -- jason

A guy down the hall from me has one of these mice. As far as 'dual handed' (ie, not sculpted) mice go, its pretty decent. I prefer a sculpted mouse and will upgrade if they make an optical one. As far as iFeel goes, besides the stupid name and the fact that it runs as a tray icon (bad!), it is...

This is the best flatscreen that you'r going to find, IMHO. If it's a good deal, go for it. Jason

Seems like a pretty decent deal to me. I've been looking for a Dxr3 card w/ drive recently, will jump on this. Check out the specs from Mercata's page: Transfer data at up to 6,000 KB per second with average access time of 110 minutes. That's fast! thanks for the deal -- jason

4-port USB Hub in Geek Blue w/Power for MAC/PC's (Less Cables) http://www.compgeeks.com/cgi-bin/details.asp?cat=ModemsTelephony&sku=205-5047K Seems like a good deal AFAIK, belkin USB hubs normally run $15-$30, correct? Similar belkin hubs w/ cables (note: this one has no USB cables) run...

Acura Owners Appreciation Week (?) is the 17th to the 23rd; if you take your Acura to an Acura dealer, they will do a free diagnostic check and vehicle inspection. I called my dealer and they said they would do the free check for any of their customers, not just Acura drivers (ie, if you bought...

wow i started a little discussion :) SuperRob: It 'saved me' because I was speeding before the LIDAR (laser) alarm went off, and quickly slowed down before I got into the officers targeting range. jhassi: I've used a couple of other detectors before... not a lot but I've ridden with quite a...

Radar detectors are legal in all areas except Virginia and DC. As far as I know, there are no other states or major cities that ban the use of them. Radar guns, on the other hand, vary from state to state. The county I used to live in (Gwinnett, GA) recently outlawed the use of LIDAR (Laser)...

No sooner did I post to this, I got pulled over. First time I've ever been hit with LIDAR (Laser). Scared the CRAP out of me when the thing went off, but I quickly slowed down, the cop was approx 3/10ths of a mile ahead so I was out of his targeting range. I got pulled over, he asked me where I...

I've used a Valentine 1 that a friend had but the price made it a little too out of my reach. I got a Escort Passport 7500, I like it much more than the V1 in terms of asthetics and functionality, and the performance is almost as good. The Escort Passport 7500 has a little LED matrix display...
