Last night around 8:30 p.m., Mario Avilaz "died in a hail of gunfire" between "at least two shooters in front of a Bedford-Stuyvesant apartment building," the Daily News reports. Avilaz, described as a good studentl, had been hanging around outside his building at Kingston Avenue and Herkimer Street. The police have not disclosed what the motive was, but a community activist told the Post he thought Avilaz was "hit by a stray bullet from a nearby dispute" (perhaps a fight between two girls). His mother tearfully told the News, "I was getting ready for Christmas, and now I'm getting ready...
Of all the new portable technologies I’ve adopted over the past couple of years, USB thumb drives are near the top of my list of useful, convenient accessories. I carry one in my pocket at all times, and am constantly looking for new applications to put on them. At this point in the continuing evolution of these devices, you can get so much capacity for so little money that you don’t have to feel restricted to collecting only tiny applications on them. In case you haven’t yet adopted a USB thumb drive and put good applications on it, here are...
Nabbing Canon's little PowerShot SD770IS 10 megapixel shooter with optical image stabilization for $160 from Amazon is a decent deal, though not great. Like many of this year's so called Black Friday deals, a little mouse-work will likely uncover the same prices elsewhere. But read Amazon's fine print and you'll see that you can add a free, 4GB class 4 SDHC card (something you'll likely want to purchase anyway) to save another $11 or so on your purchase. What Amazon doesn't tell you is that you can add any Kingston SDHC card for free. Right, including the $30 16GB...

Damn, these things are getting out of control! There’s not much to say on this front other than this little drive holds sixteen times the data my little HyperX DataTraveler does. At this point one has to ask, who needs a 64GB thumbdrive?! Actually, having spacious, pocketable drives around is very handy: I back up a lot of video footage and just to be redundant I put a copy on any flash drive I have about as well. The 64GB version will be pricey if you want to get your Dad one as a gift — $177 to be...
Enthusiasts and computer geeks everywhere are waiting in anticipation for the latest Intel X58 chipset mainboards and the Intel Core i7 CPUs to hit the market. The X58 will be the first non-NVIDIA chipset mainboard to run SLI and has other interesting features. One of the caveats of the new X58/Core i7 combo is that maximum voltage for RAM DIMMS has been lowered significantly from previous combinations. It’s not uncommon to see enthusiast RAM today require voltages over 2V. The X58/Core i7 combo can have a max of 1.65V for RAM. This means that enthusiasts will need new memory when...
With Intel's Core i7 launch now less than a month away, several memory vendors are readying three-packs of RAM in anticipation of the new platform's triple-channel memory support. Companies like Corsair, OCZ, and G.Skill have all jumped on board, but Kingston looks to leapfrog to the front of the pack as the first, and so far only company to release triple-channel memory clocked at 2GHz."Kingston is excited to bring the fastest DDR3 triple-channel memory products to market as we are the first to deliver 2000MHz gaming kits of three with Intel's reduced voltage," said Mark Tekunoff, senior technology manager at...

Kingston is a name associated with memory products, and we have news that the company will begin to ship its high capacity 32GB DataTraveler 150 USB Flash drive. Also known as the DT150, this USB flash drive model boasts the largest capacity in Kingston’s entire line of DataTraveler USB drives, which is almost as convenient as toting around a portable hard drive since many large files (and I mean huge - even those bigger than 8GB) won’t exactly spill over 32GB, right? Perfect for folks who want to merge work-related content and personal digital content on the same drive, although...

Kingston has dropped a 32GB version of its DataTraveler USB drive, which could be a worthy addition to your gizmo collection if you own a netbook with limited storage (say, like the EeePC). The pocket-sized dongle measures at 3.06 inches x 0.9 inches x 0.47 inches and is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux. The estimated retail price is $139, but you can get one off Newegg for $80 right now—that's roughly $2.22 per GB. [Newegg]...
Sure, USB flash drives are so old school but that changes when they get bumped up to 32 GB. Kingston has produced such a jewel and the 32GB DataTraveler 150 looks to handle all your portable storage needs. The little drive works with all flavors of Windows, Macs and Linux and retails for a measly $139. ...
