| What’s more, when we were testing digital audio on this, most of us agreed that classical & new age music that relied heavily on the balance of strong mid-ranges frequencies were reproduced very well. As for pop and rock music, this may not be your ideal choice, since the lack of sharp treble sound has a negative effect. For gaming, however, we all found this a good performer. It sounds quite OK with EAX, and the A3D-filled Half-Life is another title that brings out the best in these speakers. The $190 price tag makes the MicroWorks system look particularly attractive. But before you jump, just wait till you see what’s next... Zie Review-Zone voor de rest...

Extreme Hardware heeft een review gepost van de Saitek Cyborg 3D, een tamelijk wreed vormgegeven vliegpook. Nog toffer is de mogelijkheid om deze stick volledig te customizen: The ability to switch between left and right-handed modes is only the start of the Cyborg 3D’s customizability. Not only can the dual joystick attachments be moved to fit a right or a left hand, they can also be shifted up or down depending on the size and shape of your hand. There are a total of 5 different settings that you can use and after trying several to find the perfect fit, I was able to achieve a nigh-perfect hand position. In addition to the stick attachments, there is also the option of moving both the thumb base’s length and tilt. There are 3 positions for the thumb length and roll angle, and adjusts easily for those with smaller thumbs, or if you're simply looking for a better fit. The throttle control knob can also be removed and repositioned on either side of the Cyborg 3D’s base. It’s a pretty amazing thing to actually tailor a joystick to your individual needs and I'd recommend demoing the Cyborg 3D if you get the chance. Zie Extreme Hardware voor meer info over deze Saitek pretstok.

In navolging van o.a. Diamond wil ook Creative een portable MP3 player op de markt zetten. AGN 3D heeft wat nieuwe info over het apparaat: Creative has let slip a little more info on their up coming MP3 player. This time we got a name for the little guy, the Nomad. It should be the size of a cassette tape, have inputs and outputs, and have 64mb of storage (enough memory for 1 hour of music). Look for it in April (possibly) and selling for less than $200. Rio better look out for this one.

Adreline Vault heeft een review geupt van F16 Agressor. Wat betreft storyline is het vergelijkbaar met Strike Commander (die terug in 1993 zo'n 40Meg van je schijf op kwam eisen, wat heel errug veel was). Bethesda Softworks, de maker van F16 Agressor, wil qua realisme op het niveau van Falcon 4.0 mee spelen: Some might say that by setting the game up to compete with Microprose's Falcon 4.0 on a realism level will prove to be its undoing. GSI and Bethesda however, feel up to the challenge, and hope to differentiate the game by providing a few features that the competition does not. Unlike conventional simulations, where you are assigned to a unit and fly for the military might, F-16 Aggressor takes the Strike Commander approach and puts you in charge of a mercenary operation. Not only will you have to master the flight dynamics, but the economic ones as well.

Micro$oft blijkt in Windows 98 een leuke "feature" te hebben ingebouwd. Als je Windows instaleerd en je registreerd het worden je gegevens + een uniek nummer naar Microsoft gestuurd. Hier ff een stukje uit het bericht : This number, known as a Globally Unique Identifier, is sent to Microsoft along with
name, address, phone number, plus demographic details and information on the
hardware and software being used. Note that with the progressive tightening-up of
Microsoft's registration procedures it is becoming more and more difficult to get
support from the company, or to get software updates, without registering, so
Microsoft is going to acquire more and more of this data. In the Windows 98 install
procedure, users are not told that all this data is being sent, but Smith says that the
data Microsoft is gathering is being used to build a database of Windows users
globally.
From what Smith says, it would also seem that Microsoft has been doing a pretty
through job of 'integrating' the number into a user's entire installation. Aside from
being linked to the user's name, it also appears in files the user has created, so
Microsoft's database could be used to track both users and the documents they
produce across the Internet. Dus niet alleen Intel maar ook Microsoft houdt zich bezig met zulke gore praktijken. De rest.

Dan van Tweak3D heeft de Logitech Wingman Formula Force gereviewed. Een hap uit de review: The first
thing
I
noticed
about
the
wheel
was
the
excellent
grip
and
how
comfortable
it
was.
It
certainly
feels
a
lot
more
realistic
than
the
Microsoft
wheel.
Although
thick
and
heavy,
it
moves
smooth
too.
The
generic
plastic-like
feel
is
completely
eliminated.
The
wheel
is
not
as
powerful
as
the
others
I
have
tested.
It
is
much
smoother
and
not
as
jerky.
Instead
of
pulling
you
along,
you
actually
control
the
game.
It's
fun
to
be
able
to
control
the
game
for
once
instead
of
vice
versa.

Bluesnews heeft dit stukje info over de Linux versie van Quake III: Q: I saw the announcement that Q3A will be sold as separate packages for Win95 and Linux, but will people still be able to buy the Win95 version and download the Linux executable for free? And what about vice versa?
A: Quake III Arena will be sold in three different boxes (PC, Mac, and Linux). If someone purchases any of these versions, they will be able to get the executables for the other versions on-line.
