OCZ Vector 256GB SSD There is a review of the OCZ Vector 256GB SSD at Pro-Clockers today that is worth checking out. For comparison purposes, you can see our evaluation here. Synthetic test are one thing but after playing around with the drive on the bench, we threw it in a machine that is used constantly for gaming as well as general office duties. The machine was noticeable faster in every aspect. It amazed us how quickly maps loaded but we were more dumbfounded seeing the machine compress large amounts of data using programs like Winrar.

Facebook Discriminates Against People Over 99 The dilemma of the day? What to do about Facebook discriminating against people over 99. All I'm saying is, if Facebook is going to fix this, they should probably hurry. "Every time I tried to change the settings to the right year, Facebook always came back with an unknown error message and would send us right back to a year she wasn't born in," Marlow said.

Cooler Master HAF XM The crew at eTeknix has published a review of the Cooler Master HAF XM today for those of you in the market. If you need a full tower case, head on over and give this review a look.

Internet Advertisers Kill Text-Based CAPTCHA The best way to eliminate CAPTCHA? Get rid of the garbled text and replace it with mini-ads that require you to recite the company's slogan. Rather than demanding that you decipher a completely pointless combination of fuzzy words, you could simply be asked to recite a well-known company slogan. The security pop-up might even ask you to view an ad image and then type the company's name. Comments Read More ...
