ASUS G750JZ Gaming Notebook

The G750JZ from ASUS is the latest in their RoG series of notebooks. Its performance is more comparable to a desktop than a typical notebook though, and I have to say I was very impressed by the price:performance ratio of this little guy. I use the word “little” figuratively though. It’s kinda beastly. In every way.

Simple Audio Listen Desktop Speakers

Simple Audio’s Listen took 6 months to review because I had to actually figure out how to evaluate the product before I could go ahead and produce a review of it.

Ultimate Overclocked Hackintosh Workstation Build Guide

I’d like to begin by thanking the folks in the Hackintosh community who made this possible

Rampage Dev – x79 Development
Conti – myHack
Slice – Bootloader and other development
Netkas – FakeSMC

Rampage Dev in particular was amazing throughout the process and very helpful in setting us on the right path in terms of component selection and installation of the necessary software. It’s my understanding that he does consulting work on projects like this, and you can reach him at his blog: http://rampagedev.wordpress.com/

The Zero Punctuation episode we referred to:

Tagger NFC Ultimate Geeky Easter Egg Hunt

I’ve never heavily used NFC, and it wasn’t until Tagger sent us a box of their tags to dink around with that I really looked into some of the amazing stuff you can do with it. This video serves as an example of some sensible things you can do with them and… some other stuff…

Samsung U28D590D 28″ Affordable 4K Monitor

The U28D590D or 590D for short from Samsung is the monitor that’s bringing 4K into the realm of affordability for desktop users. It’s 28″, boasts 1ms GTG pixel response times, and support for 1B colors… But is it really as perfect as it seems??

Star Citizen interview with Chris Roberts – PAX East 2014

I think the Star Citizen interview could have gone better but I was having a hard time focusing on asking good questions due to the fact that I was fan girling out so hard the whole time… I hope you guys enjoy the video!
