Bleeding Edge Byte 007: Announcing Our Xbox 360 Winner!
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Announcements, Design, Features, Video Games, Videocasts,
Okay, so a little over a month or so ago, we asked Bleeding Edge viewers to get out there and create fan sites for the show. The person who we thought had the best site was promised an Xbox 360. Well, the results are in, and in this episode we announce the winner. Scilynt created Livin On Da Edge, and we liked it so much, we figured we would give him an Xbox 360 for his troubles. Hey, no crying because you didn’t win! In fact, we still have one more Xbox 360 to give away. If you want it, check out how to win.
Congrats Scilynt!

Gear Live Review: Tom Bihn Archetype Laptop Bag
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Wearables, Design, Features, PC / Laptop, Product Reviews,
We had our girl Ponzi take the new Tom Bihn Archetype bag (in Leopard print!) for a spin since we knew she would look a lot better carrying around a bag like this than we would. She tested the bag with her 12” ThinkPad, and reports back with her thoughts on the new bag. You can check out the Archetype Gallery for more images, and the full review after the jump.

Gear Live Review: Vaja iVod Video Review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Design, Features, Portable Audio / Video, Product Reviews,
In case you missed our video review of the Vaja iVod Video, we figured we would flesh out our thoughts in print as well. The Vaja iVod Video cases for the 5th generation iPod with video are impressive, and this one was made using the Vaja Choice service. First impressions count, and as you can see, the product was custom-made with Gear Live orange and gray taking center stage. We took tons of images which you can find in our iVod Video Gallery, and give our full impressions, after the jump.

- Show/hide capability to forum man page, enabling specific forum clusters you are interested to be shown.
- “View today’s active topics” link to main forum page.
- “New topic” button in the thread view.
- Added database storage of “read topic” IDs so that you can use different browsers with different computers and retain your read topic info.
- Changed the behavior of the input filter such that tabs are converted to four spaces so that code examples posted in the forums will retain indenting.
Go ahead and check out the forums and let us know what you think.

Bleeding Edge Byte 005: E3 2006 Booth Montage
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Design, Features, Video Games, Videocasts,
In an attempt to give you a glimpse of the madness that is E3, we focus this video on some of the standard sights and sounds, along with a couple of the more obscure things that we found on the show floor. This would include something as grand as EA’s 360 degree video wall, to something as silly as a 9900-watt car subwoofer.
