Widescreen TVs Get the Bends @ Designtechnica
"Widescreen TVs are everywhere. Unfortunately, a lot of them are displaying non-widescreen images that are glaringly, unnaturally, unnervingly bent out of shape. The worst part is that many folks just don't seem to notice—or if they do notice, they don't care. If you got a third wider overnight, wouldn't you lay off the beer? If the tires on your car suddenly turned from circles to ovals, wouldn't the ride get a bit bumpy? Misshapen people and objects would turn daily life into a surreal nightmare.

Thermaltake BigWater Computer Water Cooling System Review @ Tweaknews | Image
"Thermaltake has done a great job of designing a kit that brings the user everything needed for a system that cools well, and is oh-so-quiet. The BigWater kit brings the bling, as well.

Quality of materials is excellent and installation was a breeze, despite a poorly written and executed manual."

Evercool LGA77 CPU Cooler Review @ motherboards.org
"Considering the furnace which is the modern Pentium 4 processor, the market for cooling this hotplate is immense, but the task daunting. Today on the bench we've got Evercool's 775 cooler, a radial design undoubtedly inspired by Intel's stock cooler. What remains to be seen however is if an all aluminum design can beat a hybrid bred on years of research."
