Gamers come in all shapes and sizes, and believe it or not, not all of them prefer to game with the same hand. There's no doubt that right-handed gamers are catered to more often than not, while left-handed gamers are usually left to fend for themselves. Today, Razer is making life a lot easier for left-handed in-game snipers, with the first "gaming grade mouse" to be made specifically for lefthanders.It's a familiar mouse, the DeathAdder, but now in a left-handed edition. It's simply called the DeathAdder Left Hand Edition, equipped with the same 3.5G infrared sensor but with a reversed design to fit the opposite hand. It's available now for $59.99 in the U.S. or €59.99 in Europe.RAZER™...

Om Malik at Gigaom has made an interesting analysis of the effects of widespread broadband penetration into the US market. As the demand for broadband tapers off because the pool of persons that don't yet have it slowly dries up, there's really only one thing the providers have left to sell: faster speeds.It should come as no surprise that the carriers have let go of incremental speed upgrades and have gone ahead and doubled or tripled the speeds of their offerings.
