November 13, 2010 No Comment
Le’s face it, it’s a question the world’s been dying to know the answer to: which of the T-Mobile G2 , HTC Surround and iPhone 4 will withstand a (literal) grilling the longest? Well, just in time for a mildly singed breakfast today, we have the answer.

Taiwanese peripheral manufacturer Tt eSports has launched a new three button gaming mouse aimed to please those with a penchant for fragging. Unlike other options out there such as the Razer Lachesis , which tout ever-increasing sensitivity specs, the Azurues’ optical sensor engine is content to top out at 1600 dpi, and can easily be adjusted down to 400 / 800 dpi via a hardware switch on the bottom. That makes it ideal for those who prefer a little more wrist leeway while shooting. Other niceties include a black rubber coating for grip, an adjustable weight design, low friction Teflon feet, integrated lighting, and a braided cable to take repeated abuse from the thrill of desk-side battle. Unfortunately, pricing and availability are still unknown, so there’s no need to remove your cursor from the back of your next victim’s head until more details surface.

Article by WorldNews.com Correspondent Dallas Darling. It is far too easy to either idolize heroic individuals or rationalize tragic events, especially when one is far removed historically and emotionally. After visiting the house of Mahatma Gandhi-whom President Barack Obama hailed as a hero to India and to the entire world, and whom he looked to for guidance and inspiration-it would be atoning and constructive to visit Nagasaki and to reflect on these first-hand accounts of the dropping of the atomic bomb: “Eyes turned skyward liquefy in the blinding flash, streaming down upturned faces. Bodies turn to charcoal. Infrared rays melt skin like wax. Windows explode, buildings crumple, people…
