When I go to conventions and even on vacation I need to have a laptop with me at all times. You never know when the site might go down and you need access to the internet to fix things. Also my sites do not run themselves so I always have to check on things and…
The CES 2009 Swag
If there is one thing you always walk away with from any trade show it is swag, free goodies that companies give away when you come to their booth to look at their products. Looking back at what all I got last year I probably got half as much if not less this year. The…
2009 PC Race for Charity
Every year at CES I make it a point to make it to the Tiger Direct PC Race for Charity. Mainly because it is good to do something for charity and it has some of the best food out of all of the press events during CES. The PC Race is a PC building competition…
Heading to Vegas for CES

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is North America’s largest trade show and is usually the second week of January each year, this year it’s the 8th-11th. CES is the show were electronics companies show off the new products they will…
Pixelpipe iPhone App
Well since the Pano iPhone App did so well and I got a lot of feedback on it I decided to post about another iPhone App that is quite handy. My buddy Colin told me about this app and I really like it, it is called Pixelpipe. What it allows you to is upload photos…
ThinkComputers 900th Review
Well yesterday was another milestone for ThinkComputers, we posted our 900th review! The review was of the Thermaltake Spinq CPU cooler. I can’t believe that since 2002 we have reviewed 900 products! That is sure a lot of taking product photos, testing the product, writing the review, and then getting it up on the site….
ThinkComputers 2008 Budget Holiday Gift Guide
Well usually around this time of the year I am pumping out buyers guides for all different types of things. I really like doing the price is no object guides, but those buyers guides really don’t fit this year as people are spending way less on holiday gifts then ever before. Because of this I…
Pano iPhone App
Since FINALLY upgrading my phone to the 2.0 software I have been checking out a lot of the apps in the app store. Not only free ones, but paid ones as well. Although I had my iPhone jailbroken before to get apps before the app store was created there are so many more now that…
New Setup!
You would think that my computer changes all the time, but it really does not. My main (work) computer relatively stays the same and I used 2 other test machines to test out computer hardware. I do this because if something happens to my main computer it limits how much work I can get done….
Black Friday is Tomorrow!
Well tomorrow is the day, Black Friday. It is the craziest shopping day of the year! People start heading to stores at 3-4am trying to be first in line to get the best deals of the day. Honestly it is insane, people basically killing each other for a better deal on a TV or Laptop….
A Great Blogging Laptop
One thing that is so great about blogging is that you can do it from pretty much anywhere as long as you have an internet connection. WordPress makes things even easier, and the WordPress App for the iPhone means you don’t even need a computer to publish blog posts on your website. Although something like…
No Power
Well I have been without power for at least 2 days now. The outer bands from Hurricane Ike ran through Pittsburgh a few days ago bringing with them some very heavy wind storms. These wind storms knocked out the power of course but also downed many trees, which was evident the next morning when I…
Some New Gadgets
Well things are really starting to pick up over at ThinkComputers. We are moving up to at least 5 reviews / articles a week, but I’m pushing towards new content each day. Hopefully I don’t wear myself out by trying to keep up this schedule. I always like checking out new technology that’s why I…
Hulu Launches Fall Lineup
Last week Hulu announced their Fall Premier Linup. If you do not know Hulu is a website that offers free ad-supported streaming video of TV shows and movies from NBC, Fox, and others. The video quality is actually really good too, definitely better than YouTube quality. I found out about Hulu back when it was…
The Evolution of My Desk
Even since I got my own computer I’ve always had a “workstation”. I always liked having a workstation instead of just a regular desk. When you have a good working environment you tend to get a lot more work done and it is sure nice to be working on a nice clean desk then a…
