Rico Mossesgeld

Ever since contributing a review to a local area tech magazine, Rico was hooked, coupling a hopeful passion for writing and a fascination for gadgets and technology in general. Rico loved getting and playing with the review units, he loved getting invited to cover local tech events, and he loved trying out new stuff online. But it wasn't all fun and joy. Rico's heart always broke as he had to return said devices to their respective owners, or when his day job as an online marketing professional cut into his tech enjoyment time.

Straight from SmartFish’s PR: Pay $50, and we’ll deliver you a mouse that’s the most ergonomic yet! The basis of this promise is that the ErgoMotion Laser Mouse features a swivel mount, which adjusts automatically to your mouse hand: The ErgoMotion Mouse is redefining what a true ergonomic product should be by actually reducing your risk of Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI).

They say Black Friday was so named because Philadelphia city officials usually braced themselves for “massive traffic jams and over-crowded sidewalks” as people take advantage of the day off to shop until they drop for the holidays. In any case, those problems are non-existent when you shop online, and Dell has a lot of Black Friday deals for shoppers looking for a computer for themselves or loved ones.

Asus Tops Laptop Reliability Study

According to research by warranty firm SquareTrade, you really get what you pay for, with premium-priced laptops lasting longer than their cheaper counterparts on average. Good news for those who’ve spent money for specs, bad for buyers trying to eke by on affordable netbooks; from the survey of 30,000 portables, netbooks have a 5.8% chance of failing within the first year. Another notable trend becomes clear when comparing brands. Here’s the list of nine different brands, ranked from most reliable to least, in terms of malfunction rate: Asus Toshiba Sony Apple Dell Lenovo Acer Gateway HP Looks like Asus‘ marketing department have a new talking point to advertise, while Apple has another reason to stick its nose up at... [Read more]

OCZ Colossus: The $3400 1TB SSD

Filed under Storage

Yesterday saw the release of the OCZ Colossus, a new high-performance SSD line with capacities of 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. If you’ve considered tapping the speed benefits of solid state disks for your PC (SSDs are basically high-capacity thumb drives plugged directly into a desktop or laptop motherboard), but always found the current capacities a limitation, salvation is here! The OCZ Colossus uses the standard 3.5″ SATA chassis, meaning it’s an easy plug-in for contemporary desktops. Unfortunately, that’s too big for most laptops, which usually accept only 2.5″ drive modules. The relative heftiness of the Colossus has something to do with its built-in RAID 0 architecture, implying that there are actually... [Read more]

9500 Euro Leica M7 Hermes Limited Edition

Oh wow, Leica recently came out with the camera in the UK! Quick, save up 9,500 euros so you can buy it! Wait, what? Almost ten-thousand European simoleons for a camera? There’s a reason why professional photographers spend good money on cameras, lenses, and accessories like flash. It’s because these pricey gadgets truly make for a better picture. Now don’t get me wrong; No one should ever doubt the image quality achievable through technology from Leica (better known to the average geek as the lens provider for the Panasonic Lumix line). But why would you that much for a camera that has average capabilities, all because it’s covered with leather and carries the name of a luxury brand? In any case, technical specs for... [Read more]
