Tenda W311U Wireless-N USB Adapter review: Painstakingly cheap but it works!
A computer without access to a wired connection to a router is sailing alone on traveled waters and all you have is a wireless access point nearby. What do you do? Get a wireless USB adapter!My main criteria for the wireless USB adapter is something cheap but does the job. It doesn’t matter whether it’s branded Linksys, D-Link, Edimax, TP-Link, Netgear or Tenda.
The W311U is Wireless-N capable but I don’t have a router that is equipped with such technology. In fact, I am only using an 802.11b connection. The product comes in a simple box package which contains the USB wireless adapter along with a small CD containing the driver and user guide for the device.
Setup of the software is pretty straight forward, just run it, follow the instructions and plug the USB device in. It should get itself up and working right then and there. An interesting feature of the device is that it is able to act as an access point for other computers to connect to. Tenda calls it Soft AP mode. Haven’t really tried it myself yet but will update accordingly when I do.
The Tenda W311U Wireless-N USB Adapter cost me P585.00 or approximately $12.50 USD. It does what it’s supposed to do (connect to a wireless router or a wireless access point and gain internet access).
Founded in 1999, Tenda Technology is the recognized leader in wireless and LAN networking for consumer, SOHO and small business users. Tenda strives to deliver easy-to-install and affordable networking solutions for its customers, offering innovative, award-winning products that enhance people’s lives and productivity.

Saving Private Ryan to set ashore on Blu-ray’s shingle on May 4th
Saving Private Ryan, is without a doubt, one of Steven Spielberg’s great movies. Sure, it has a mediocre filler for the middle part of the movie but the start and climax of the film more than make up for it. It’s set to accompany other Sapphire Series releases on Blu-ray such as Forrest Gump, Gladiator, Braveheart and the Godfather Trilogy.
Although Amazon hasn’t specifically stated the May 4th 2010 release day, they’re already taking pre-orders for $27.99. Can you almost imagine those D-day bullets traversing from your front speakers to your rear surround speakers in possibly DTS-HD MA lossless audio format?
Hopefully, they don’t screw up the high-definition transfer like they did with Gladiator.

ASUS NX90 Bang & Olufsen notebook features dual trackpads, quad-core, USB 3.0 and huge border speakers
ASUS and Bang & Olufsen are collaborating to make an ultimate media-centric device called the NX90. The ASUS NX90 features dual trackpads (one on the left-hand side of the keyboard and one on the right-hand side, each with its own two buttons) along withi other powerhouse notebook features such as an Intel Core i7-820QM quad-core processor, 12GB of DDR3 memory, nVidia GT335M GPU. The device utilizes a 18.4-inch 1920 x 1080 full HD resolution screen.
Connectivity includes possible USB 3.0 support along with eSATA and HDMI. The speakers protruding on the sides don’t look that pretty to me. They should’ve still aligned it with the lower portion of the device.
The ASUS NX90 is priced to sell (to people with fat wallets) at $1,799 and $2,499 and is expected to be available starting February.
