    Buyers' Guide - 26 Digital SLR Cameras

    I'm still a major Minolta fan even though I don't own Minolta cameras anymore. I grew into the Minolta family via my Dad's first SLR, a SRT101 back in the early 70's. When he was at work, I'd pull it out of the plastic body case and play with it. Then in the mid 80's one of the first...

    Buyers' Guide - 26 Digital SLR Cameras

    :D GREAT article. I'm not in the market for a new digital camera but this article is very informative. Even though I've already made my DSLR purchase, it's always nice to see what's new and a potential replacement down the line. Currently I use the Canon XT with the BG-E3 battery grip. I...

    MMR: PlayStation 3 Impressions, Network, Firmware Updates

    As an owner of both the PS3 and XBOX360, I find myself playing Gears of War on the 360 more often. Resistance is childish in many ways. Not being a fan boi of either consoles, I prefer PCs, I feel as the PS3 has set itself up for ridicule and the XBOX360 has taken a bigger lead than Sony...

    MMR: The Worst Game of the Year and Other Awards for Awesomely Bad Things in 200

    Hey Major... you are observant that the writer Rob is "mad". In his writing(s) he puts much more opinions and emotions than fact and in-depth experience.

    Top-10 Technology Disappointments in 2006

    This was a pretty loaded survey and article. Not much journalism and a lot of huff and puff bias and opinion. I like a good read that has reasonable and professional insight. I'm a Tom's Hardware fan but I have to say that the format and articles are thin and DISAPPOINTING in 2006. Sony...

    Holiday Buyers' Guide 2006, Part 2: Components

    I'm definitely the minority on this one... next year do without the model elf. It's boring and cliche. There's so much smut out there already that many users would appreciate more cutting edge reporting rather than cheap thrills. I have many bookmarks for cheap thrills... but the URL that I...

    MMR: Is Sony to Blame for the PlayStation 3 Launch Violence?

    Shandorf - way to go. Real logical interpretation. I'm assuming you took philosophy and logic in college. I remember taking those two courses and especially logic where you can break down an argument into a near mathematical solution. The author of this article should go and take an upper...

    Wii Launch Report: Nintendo's Next Generation is Set in Motion

    I like the Wii a lot. Its simplicity is like having a good ol pong console in the living room. Everyone can play the Wii without having to be hard core. I have the PS1, PS2, XBOX, XBOX360, and hopefully the PS3 sometime in the near future. Here's my problem with the Wii. I was at Walmart...

    MMR: Is Sony to Blame for the PlayStation 3 Launch Violence?

    You waited around for 10 hours? And you think you got perspective? Here's my perspective - I've been following PS3 pretty much when PS2 came out (rumors of the PS3 pretty started a few months after the PS2 launch). I loitered the Best Buy, Circuit City, and Walmart floors for weeks before the...

    How To Build, Part 1: Component Selection Overview

    In the article - I'm glad you stated that the power supply is the most critical component. I've put together 19 unique computer systems over the years and one thing I learned more than anything else, USE A GOOD REPUTABLE POWER SUPPLY AND HAVE AT LEAST 100 WATTS MORE THAN YOU ANTICPATE. My...

    MMR: Is Sony to Blame for the PlayStation 3 Launch Violence?

    My advanced apologies, Rob, but you are way off. I already figured someone was going to try to blame Sony for the PS3 launch frenzy but I'm surprised that a Tom's Hardware writer would waste a single key-stroke on such an absurd notion that Sony is to blame. In an "all-you-can-eat" and...
