Geek Orgasm Trifecta: Sandy Bridge. Portal 2. Sixense Motion Sticks
Sandy Bridge. Portal 2. Sixense motion controllers. Several months ago, a friend showed me some benchmark tests for the new Sandy Bridge video cards.

Hands on with the Canon Powershot S95 Underwater
The stable of cameras at Casa Fernandez include a Nikon D40 with over 10 legacy lenses, a Canon 350D used exclusively for underwater shoots and a Panasonic Lumix LX3.
