The crew at Engadget spotted an Optimus Maximus keyboard up for sale earlier today. The bidding then was a mere $300, two minutes ago it was at $1,700 and climbing. With five days to go, expect insane amounts of money to be bid.
We wouldn't have expected the first opportunity for consumers to pick up an Optimus Maximus to be in the wild frontiers of eBay, but hey, we'll take what we can get. Currently at $300 with 14 bids, but seeing how fast our pathetic bid was shot down, it looks like there's going to be quite a frenzy when the auction winds down on February 4th.
Lawmakers in New York have introduced new legislation to keep convicted sex offenders off social-networking sites like Facebook and MySpace.
In a press conference on Tuesday, New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, State Sen.

The legislation aims to restrict convicted sex offenders' Web use, banning them from social networks like Facebook and News Corp.'s MySpace.
We did BFGTech 8800 GTS cards for $299.99 a few weeks ago and I know our readers bought 500 of them in a few short hours. Today Newegg is selling EVGA's 8800 GTS for $279.99 after $20 MIR (at least that is what the card totalled out to be in my cart). Shipping is free. Use promo code EMCABCKAG.
Edit: It seems the code is only good for current Newegg subscribers. Let me see if I can work something out.
You can read our evaluations on the new G92 based 8800 GTS here and here.
I’m not sure how many of you are having this problem but Google says it has fixed a problem that was causing Windows Mobile phone users to receive blank Gmail messages. There you go, if you had a problem…now you don’t.
In October, Google began supporting IMAP for Gmail. That means messages that mobile users send or receive from their phones are synced with their Gmail accounts, appearing the next time users access their accounts from a computer. But shortly after the announcement, Windows Mobile users began complaining in online forums about problems.
I got an e-mail today from [H] reader “EC” that has to be seen to be believed. Two small form factor Core 2 Duo systems one with a gold case the other has diamonds. And, if I am reading this correctly, these things are priced at $750k and $560k. The Blu-ray – HD DVD drive is a nice touch but you’d think I could get some more RAM and a better video card for that kinda cash.
I don’t know who is the bigger scumbag, the guy that kills a kid and blames his Xbox or the attorney trying to convict him by saying this:
Berardinelli said of Salahuddin in his closing arguments: "His entire life and daily routine is about playing the game. "What do you think someone with that kind of obsession is going to do when it gets knocked over? What do you think is going to happen? "The skull fractures on that baby are what happened."

Today we have the Antec NeoPower 650 and the NeoPower 650 Blue power supplies in the hot seat. Antec is easily one of the most recognizable names in the industry when it comes to power supplies but what is the difference between the NeoPower 650 and the NeoPower 650 Blue? Which one is right for you? Hit the link for all the info, here’s a quote to get you started:
Seemingly from Antec's marketing there is no real differentiation for these products beyond the Blue LED 120mm in the NeoPower Blue. Therefore we may be left with simple product duplication in their lineup, or are we? Moving on, let’s see what we have to look forward to when we purchase the Antec Neopower 650 Blue and NeoPower 650 power supplies in terms of documentation, accessories, cable count, rail layout, output characteristics, and general build quality.
