    Review: second generation Pogoplug NAS

    PogoPlug has gotten a fair bit of coverage here at CrunchGear, including a full review of the original PogoPlug device. A new version was recently released, with quite a bit more to offer, so an updated review is in order. The second generation PogoPlug supports up to four USB drives, offers gigabit Ethernet, has mobile clients for the major smartphones, and has a burgeoning independent developer community. That's a lot for a $129 gadget!

    Review: The GBoard keyboard for GMail

    Short Version: The GBoard costs $19.99.

    Review: Razer Naga MMOG Laser Gaming Mouse

    Short version: A comfortable mouse whose main gimmick will take hours upon hours of dedication on your part to fully exploit. Like a dork, I looked up the word “naga” in Wikipedia, and it turns out that it refers to “a deity or class of entity or being, taking the form of a very great [...]
