I’ll admit it. I’ve been using Handbrake for converting DVD’s straight to iPod Touch friendly formats for a while now. I have felt that it’s been better than any other converter of the type. So straightforward, and good quality too!

New update is out, and it seems as though it can now handle any other video format, not just DVD’s. That’s pretty awesome. Check out the full notes here, and download it now!

That’s right. The P2 wasn’t much of a threat to the iPod Touch. Will the P3 be enough?

I think, no.

Maybe the P4. Continue reading ‘Behold. Samsung Pee Three Has Arrived.’

Backup Buds: Sony’s MDRE11LPD (Black)

Besides releasing phones, home entertainment products and audio players, Sony is also a big company in the market of earphones. And yes, even the earphones have confusing model numbers/names. Try asking for MDRE11LPD’s at a store. See what kind of reaction you get from the employee there…

…well, I do own a pair of Bose In-Ears, which I actually really love. Due to unorthodox earphone care and abuse in my earlier ears, I have learned to value earphones. Never to wrap them, take really good care of them. The Bose In-Ears have a thick cable and looks to be well built, but I refrain from taking them to school or out, unless it’s a long trip in the car.

Psystar Playing Mind Games?

The advantage of releasing a product after your competitor is that you can do what they didn’t. Now, besides proudly releasing desktops coming in flavours of Linux and XP/Vista, Psystar also has a line of the Open Computers (OpenLite (Linux), Open (Mac OS), OpenPro (Mac OS), OpenGamer (Vista) ). Apple is not happy.

Latest development from Psystar. With the infamous Steve Jobbs “bag of hurt” comment about Blu-Ray, Psystar has released a few more machines with Blu-Ray burners and a GeForce 9800GT graphics card, as opposed to Apple’s plain DVD drive and 8600GT.

While benchmarks and overall usability of the Open machines aren’t as good as the Macs, keep in mind that these aren’t dedicated Mac OS machines.

I look forward to seeing where this battle will go, next.
