I can’t decide whether this watercooling setup for the Raspberry Pi is the best thing I’ve seen all day or whether it is totally and utterly pointless – but I’m inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt and go with the former. There are plenty of people who would argue that there is no good reason to watercool a Pi – they are right and wrong. Watercooling allows the Pi to hit a [...]
![BeagleBone Gets a Performance Boost and a Massive Price Cut [BeagleBone Black]](http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/themes/morning/functions/theme/thumb.php?src=http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/uploads/beaglebone-specs-640x444-580x402.png&w=300&h=150&zc=1&a=c)
The once popular BeagleBone developer board just got a substantial price cut and performance boost in the form of the BeagleBone Black. The BeagleBone was always a great little piece of equipment – its only real problem was that it cost more than twice as much as the Raspberry Pi. That didn’t scare away the sorts of people who know what it can do – but it probably kept a good number of novice tinkerers [...]
Close your eyes and imagine a world where you never had to take your hand off of the keyboard to move the cursor. Now open your eyes. May I present the Combimouse- A keyboard/mouse hybrid that allows for more productivity, and fluid computing. It’s simple: The right side of the keyboard has a sensor that triggers the unit to mouse mode, when the user puts his hand around the sides of the mouse-shaped portion. [...]
Gigabyte’s soon to be released Aivia Uranium would look like a regular wireless gaming mouse, if it didn’t come with its own monochrome OLED display. I must admit that I am something of a traditionalist when it comes to gaming peripherals – I like my wires, because I hate plugging things into chargers almost as much as I hate changing batteries. That being said, cutting the wires does tend to keep things a little bit [...]
For the last month or so I have been a more or less happy user of Windows 8 – but all systems have their quirks that take time and effort to figure out. One issue that I faced on a semi-daily basis was losing network connectivity. It never happened while I was using it – it was always after a long period of inactivity. A restart would always fix the problem, but it would always [...]
Technology is all about convenience these days, so may I present a keyboard that may have just raised the bar. This Bluetooth-enabled, washable, roll-up keyboard is portable, practical, and durable. The surface is silicone making it waterproof and durable, and makes sure your typing doesn’t sound like your drumming on your desk with drumsticks. It is compatible with the iPad, all Android tablets including the Galaxy Tab, and comes with a USB cable that [...]
![How to Replace Double Spaces with Single Spaces and Work Find and Replace Like a Ninja [MS Word 2013]](http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/themes/morning/functions/theme/thumb.php?src=http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/uploads/microsoft_office_2013-960x731.jpg&w=300&h=150&zc=1&a=c)
Growing up, I was taught to hit the space bar twice after every period. My teacher was a matronly woman who grew up in the days of typing schools – her method involved us sitting at a desk with a frightening curtained box over our hands… in the fourth grade. I owe Mrs. Strom a lot. By the time I reached the sixth grade, I could touch type pretty damned fast – not as fast [...]
We went hands on with the Cooler Master Storm Stryker, one of the case and cooling component manufacturer’s mid-upper end gaming cases last week and loved it so much that we decided to use it for our latest test rig. What was so great about it? Read on to find out. In this so-called post PC world, we really are spoiled for choice when it comes to high-end computer cases. There are plenty of attractive, [...]
After suffering one broken down desktop too many for too long, your author weakened and finally built himself a new PC. The construction process also involved the purchase of a shiny new operating system: Windows 8. Microsoft’s latest OS has received mixed reviews, but overall, I think it is a massive step in the right direction. What I love About It It installs quickly. Seriously, it took me all of 15 minutes to get Windows [...]

Not only does this prevent your computer from heating up your thigh meat, it also protects you from 99% of the WiFi radiation it emits. The tray is equipped with a comfy cushion underneath, as well as two quiet [...]
If you have ever built yourself a Home Theater PC (HTPC) and later decommissioned it because you decided it was too much of a hassle to control, being that you needed a mouse and keyboard, which meant more wires and “stuff” lying around your living room, and thereby attracted the “evil look” from you spouse which in turn made you decommission it (It’s a vicious downwards spiral once you get that look…), you’ll want to [...]
Unless you’re one of the 2% that actually pursued your college major, you probably didn’t retain much of what you learned while you were there. The rest of us have picked up most of our skills online, be it writing tips, how to use Microsoft Excel, or an online degree from University of Pheonix online. So why show pride for your fake alma mater, when you can show the world your support for the real one. The [...]
