Sennheiser HD 800

Model changes at the upper end of Sennheiser's headphone line don't happen very often. The previous flagship--the still available HD 650s--were introduced in 2003, and remain in the line. Their predecessor, the HD 600s, came out more than a decade ago, and are still popular with audiophiles. I've reviewed both,...

Psystar Open(Q)

If nothing else, Psystar's OpenQ should serve as a message to Apple that it's long overdue in bringing quad-core CPUs to its mainstream desktops. Because as much as the OpenQ lacks Apple's design polish, this $799, illicitly OS X-based midtower runs circles around Apple's $1,499 24-inch iMac on our benchmarks....

ZT Affinity 7334Ma (Phenom 2 X4 945 3GHz, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Vista Home Premium 64-bit)

Apparently, ZT Systems didn't get our memo asking for a complete redesign of its Affinity series desktop computers. Earlier this year, we bemoaned the blase styling of the Affinity 7308Ma, and although this new $800 Affinity 7334Ma looks just as generic, it still offers a robust set of components including...

Red Hat: Microsoft taking cloud back to the 80s

Red Hat should feel right at home then because using their software is like using something out of the 80's. I'll prefer a modern company like Microsoft instead of a company based on 30 year old technology such as Red Hat. My theory is that Red Hat is...

Analyst: Forget the Feds, Apple is 'doing just fine at wrecking the wireless business'

The Feds have been examining exclusive wireless carrier deals with handset makers---think AT&T and Apple---but the effort is a bit of a farce. Bernstein analyst Craig Moffett says it's laughable that the wireless industry is anticompetitive and the Feds don't have to worry about wrecking the wireless industry---Apple already has....
