Three new gaming keypads competing to take up that empty space to the left (or right) of your existing keyboard.First there's the updated Flexiglow Cyber Snipa, designed exclusively for FPS gaming with its creative layout of gaming keys. Next there's the Saitek Pro Gamer Command Unit that's capable of handling tasks in FPS and RTS gaming. And last, there's the Genius ErgoMedia 500, a spitting image of one of our recommended gaming keypads: the Nostromo N52. How will these gaming keypads fair against each other? And, how do they match up against our favorite gaming keypads: the WolfKing Warrior and Ideazon Fang? Because it's been a while since we reviewed these older game pads, we'll be grading the three in this roundup on a tougher scale to keep up with today's crop of demanding games.

These are advanced techniques used to improve the image quality of 3D graphics. But what exactly are they, and how do they work?This is to give you a basic understand of what AA (antialiasing) and AF (anistropic filtering) are, and why you should care about them.To avoid confusion, we have simplified explanations in several areas and made a few generalizations. We have also chosen to avoid performance benchmarks or comparisons of various AA and AF modes on competing graphics cards. All that stuff is useful, and we'll tackle it in time, but we think it's important that our readers have a basic understanding of the techniques before diving down too deeply into specifics.Antialiasing—the Anti-jaggies Let's start with AA (antialiasing). The name is sort of self-explanatory, as long as you know what aliasing is. Dictionary.com defines aliasing as a "jagged, stairstep effect on curved or diagonal lines that are reproduced in low resolution, as on a computer printout or display." In truth, "aliasing" as a general term can often be applied to all sorts of sample-based situations, like digital audio. For graphics, the dictionary.com definition suits us just fine.Read More...
They allow you to play late at night when the rest of the family is in bed. They're great for communicating with games and apps that boast voice-over-IP, and the best of the lot can sound fantastic.
This review features a pair of gaming headsets that feature 5.1 surround sound through strategically placed drivers within the ear cups. The first, the Turtle Beack Ear Force HPA2, plugs right into a 5.1 sound card as if it were a high-end set of speakers. The second, the Tritton AXPC, is a DSP-based USB model that bypasses the sound card altogether. Both brag that they allow you to hear directional sound in games so that nobody can sneak up behind you in, say, Battlefield 2142, ArmA, or STALKER.

In case you missed it, Google recently launched a new feature on its mapping service that allows people to see a 360-degree view of many streets in the San Francisco Bay Area, New York, Las Vegas, Denver and Miami.Immersive Media, one of the companies helping Google map out the world in 360-degrees, uses a pretty interesting device to achieve the goal. Don’t take this the wrong way though, Google isn’t relying on another company to do their dirty work. The web search giant also has its own vehicles, equipped with higher resolution cameras, taking snapshots of the streets in all their glory. Still, a disco ball with 11 individual lenses mounted on top of a Volkswagen Beetle is quite an interesting way to go about it.More Information
