Spruce up your input
Michelle Thatcher | Dec 29, 2005
The Logitech Cordless Desktop S 510 set combines a mouse, a keyboard, and a media remote for PC users who are as likely to play music or watch DVDs as they are to use Word. The low-profile keyboard, the well-shaped mouse, and the narrow remote have a stylish black-and-silver look, though the remote suffers from an awkward scrollwheel and poorly placed buttons. The keyboard and the mouse, however, feel good in the hand and provide enough programmability to please casual users. Still, real media enthusiasts will have better luck with the comparably priced Microsoft Remote Keyboard; users more interested in straightforward functionality will be well served by the Logitech Cordless Desktop MX3100.

Shoot to kill
Rich Brown | Dec 27, 2005
If you're a gamer with a particularly sensitive trigger finger, the S$120 (US$70.45) Logitech G5 Laser Mouse may be exactly what you need to improve your game. Even if you don't play games or aren't that picky about how your mouse feels in your hand, the G5 has some useful customization options and performs better than most.
Like last year's Logitech MX1000 Laser Cordless Mouse, the G5 Laser Mouse features Agilent's LaserStream laser sensor. However, the G5's sensor is newer and twice as sensitive as the MX1000's (2,000 dots per inch (dpi) compared to 800dpi). Logitech's exclusive deal with Agilent expired this year, so expect to see plenty of other laser mice hit the market soon. Still, few will be designed as well as the G5. Read more
Not happy? Let's step outside!
Darius Chang | Dec 08, 2005
On December 6 at the Ritz-Calton hotel in Singapore, the media and AMD staff gathered to await the arrival of Intel to the former's dual-core processor challange. It was fortunate that none of us held our breaths in anticipation, else the hotel would have had a logistical nightmare carting the limp bodies of out-of-breath journalists off its grounds.
Did we really expect Intel to show up? If we step back a couple of years, Intel would have mobilized its entire office, including the pantry lady, to crush AMD with an advertising budget equal to the GDP of a third-world country even before the latter had time to kiss its posterior goodbye. But with an overwhelming market share in processors and a finger in almost every hardware-related pie, from flash memory to notebook manufacture, we get the impression that Intel views AMD's provocation like a mouse threatening to beat up an elephant.

Sake USB
Juniper Foo | Dec 08, 2005
This would be perfect if there's actually real sake bottled inside this miniature Sekiya Brewery flask. SolidAlliance's done it once again, rolling out yet another cute iconic Japanese USB drive. Too bad the Sake drive will have to join the USB Shrimp drive and Sushi drives in that "let's get practical" heap in the corner. They're just too plain funky to take out before your clients and boss, too unwieldy to carry on your keychain, and way too clunky to plug into those tightly clustered USB ports on your notebook. Too bad, though, coz they'd make really fun gifts.
