Hardware Roundup: Thursday Edition
Logitech has upgraded its racing wheel with the introduction of the G27. Will race simulation fans find enough refinements over the venerable G25 to make it worthwhile? The $300 price may deter the casual racing fan, but as we saw with the G25, the G27 is a quality product that offers a lot, albeit at a price. As another year comes to a close there's a Best of 2009 award article from HotHardware along with reviews on the HIS Radeon HD5750 iCooler IV and ECS GeForce GT240 graphics cards and more, so check out the links below and have a safe and happy New Year!

New DLC Coming to Borderlands
The second DLC for the popular shooter Borderlands is now available for Xbox 360, and costs 800 Xbox Live points. The DLC is entitled Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, and is surely a reference to the post apocalyptic world faced by Mad Max. The DLC won't raise the level cap past 50, but offers a tournament that will offer new loot items. These arena areas should be extremely popular among groups of friends, as they should be difficult to take on alone. PS3 gamers will have to wait till January 7, while PC gamers will have to wait for “early 2010.”

United Kingdom Also Having iPhone Troubles
After the recent news that New York City may not have adequate infrastructure to handle the iPhone, users in the UK have come forward with similar complaints. The main problems deal with reception and dropped calls. Though the incidents aren't isolated, as many people around the country are reporting similar problems. The networks are having trouble handling all the added data due to the large number of apps being downloaded and used. O2, the carrier which formerly had an exclusivity deal, should see some relief as both Orange and Vodafone will be selling the iPhone by next month.

Hardware Roundup: Weekend Edition
Christmas is over and things are slowly getting back to normal. Our weekend roundup includes a pair of power supplies from Thermaltake and Nexus that fall in the highly competitive 600-800 watt range. If your data is critically important, making backups may not be enough if all your data is still maintained in the same location. For protection against other disasters such as fire and flood there's the ioSafe external hard drive enclosure. Another neat gizmo is the PowerMat wireless charging mat - sounds intriguing, but be sure to read the review before you rush out and buy one.
