    LAN over Electricity?

    I used 2 TP-LINK TL-WPA4220KIT kit in my apartment and it has been perfected for my use. Since I only have 12Mbps cable therefore the rate of AV500 is more than enough to browse the Internet and stuff. Without Powerline, I have tried several brands from TP-link, ASUS, Linksys but it is pretty...

    Nikon D5100 or D5200?

    the DS214 now on Amazon is 299$ , now only 99$ price difference, I think you should get the DS214 cuz it is newer :) then you will have to make decision on which drive to buy, 2X WD Red 4TD = 360$, or 2X Seagate NAS HDD 4TB = 350$ , or 2X Seagate Desktop = 330$ , the Seagate is a little bit...

    [Joystiq] PS4: Most successful console launch sales ever, 1 million sold first day

    the cheaper launch price really helps... PS3 was US$499 for the 20GB and US$599 for the 60GB... I have to wait till 2008 for the PS3 MGS4 for the PS3 to get to the 399$ mark that the current PS4 has at launch. So 3 mils at year end is a piece of cake to Sony.
