NEC ND-3520A DVD Writer @ TrustedReviews

Here’s a good burner for the price. I have one and it’s awesome. For those who don’t own DVD burners, go get one. You’ll kick yourself in the a$$ that you didn’t buy it earlier.

“The ND-3520A will write to DVD+/-R media at 16x, DVD+R Dual Layer discs at 4x, DVD+RW media at 8x and DVD-RW discs at 6x. The big news here is, of course, the performance boost in the RW space. Unfortunately I was unable to obtain any 6x DVD-RW or 8x DVD+RW media, although Verbatim informed me that this media will be available soon.”

Valentine’s Day: Alternative Fun for the Single Techie @ Futurelooks

Who here thinks Valentine’s Day is extremely overrated? Why spend hundreds of dollars buying flowers when you can just pick ’em? BTW, you single techies out there, don’t stay home and mope. Go out and mingle.

“Yessiree another year, another Hallmark moment that makes you feel like a total loser if you’re not: spending outrageous amount of money, making promises you don’t intend to keep and scrambling to make reservations at restaurants that were booked up months ago. And if you’re a single techie the feeling is even more intense.”
