SanDisk Extreme II SSD 240GB
There is a review of the SanDisk Extreme II SSD 240GB posted today at SSD Review. For comparison purposes, you can see our evaluation here.
The SanDisk Extreme II SSD has shown some of the best test results we have seen to date and they have been consistent. In examining PCMark Vantage alone, surpassing that 70,000 point plateau is hard enough, but scoring between the Samsung Pro and OCZ Vector we truly never believed would occur!

Ouya Apologizes to Early Adopters
Dear Ouya Kickstarter supporters; Thanks for the $8.5 million you gave us to develop, test and bring the Ouya to market. Sorry you didn't get one before your friends and neighbors did. We hope to have yours shipped in two weeks. The good news is that GameStop and Amazon are sold out so you can borrow one from a friend until yours arrives.
I am pissed. Some of you have not yet received your OUYA -- and, to you, I apologize. I did not promise to ship to *most* of you before we hit store shelves. I promised to ship to *all* of you. I've been reading your comments, and we are working to solve this.

Corsair Vengeance K70 Review
If you are in the market for a new mechanical keyboard, make sure you check out this review of the Corsair Vengeance K70 at Vortez.
The K70 comes a little over eighteen months after the K60 and K90, the first mechanical keyboards Corsair released, but by virtue of the price point doesn't quite replace either directly. It's also a part of a refresh which includes the Vengeance K65 and K95, keyboards that occupy lower and higher price points respectively whilst retaining the mechanical switch feature.

The issue relates to a third-party mechanical component, and we're working around the clock with the supplier to get it up to our expectations. We apologize to those who have preordered SHIELDs and to all those who are waiting for them to go on sale. But we want every SHIELD to be just right.
