Hey folks, my internet is back and so is the news :) Today we have a few articles that shy away from the actual hardware review, such as the "Basics of RAID", and "Are you addicted to the internet". Am I? Are you? Maybe, maybe not, but I'll bet many of the people who answer "no", probably are. Enjoy!

Hey guys, how is everyone doing? The winter is still not over, and there's no better reminder than another cold. In between my schedule of cold medicine and sleep, I've come to bring you this afternoon's load of tech news.

Good morning all :) Last night I decided that I should hit up the local shopping mall in hopes of finishing up the last of my Xmas shopping. Thankfully I was able to get in and out in a short period of time. I don't like crowds to begin with, but, there is nothing worse then a large crowd of people in the "Christmas sprit" shopping... *shudder* ;) Go grab a mug and pull up a chair. Here is your first shot of juice for the day... OCZ ModStream Power Supply Roundup @ CoolTechZone "There is a new trend that recently emerged in the world of power supplies, the wireless trend.

X-Mas is 21 days away, and I still haven't done any shopping. Given I only have a few people to get things for, it's always good to get it done early. It's another odd winter in my neck of the woods... four days into December, and there's no snow on the ground, when last year we had plenty. That's New-England weather I guess :) Diamondback Precision Gaming Mouse reviewed @ hi-techreviews.com "The Razer Diamondback is the world's first optical mouse with a precision of 1600 dots-per-inch (dpi), this is roughly 400 dpi more than the closet competitor.

Good evening friends, welcome back to HH. With most people enjoying the long weekend (US and Canadian alike), the news front has been dreadfully slow.

Jetart Xcool NP5000 Laptop Cooler Review @ ExtensionTech.net "Although laptop coolers are nothing new to the enthusiast market, one would question the real necessity of them. I mean, if your laptop would get too hot, the whole 4 or 5 real manufacturers of laptops would catch that, and put in better cooling, right? But one could say that a cooler system will last...

Good morning everyone, how are you doing? It has been a few days since I have touched the front page, let alone been home. I can honestly say that the past week has been the busiest in my entire life. The new position which I took at my day job required me to do a lot of media interaction this week, so I have been running all over the local area talking to newspapers and was featured on a fairly major TV show. Thankfully our "hard-launch" has wrapped up and my schedule is back to normal. I will surely miss that 13+ hour work days though............ ;) Enermax Noisetaker EG475AX 475 Watt PSU @ SystemCooling "It is safe to say that the EG475AX is one of...
