PHOENIX - INTEL X18-M SOLID STATE DRIVE PRODUCT REVIEW
I recently had the opportunity to try out the Intel X18-M solid state drive.  This was my first experience with using this type of hard drive alternative, so I had no predetermined notions or expectations for performance.  A normal hard disk drive (HDD) has a variety of moving internal parts that include a read/write head on an actuator arm that …READ MORE HERE.

ART INFLUENCED BY GEEK CULTURE
Art Influenced By Geek Culture It’s certainly not news that geek culture is blowing up right now.

BEEP BOOP, GEEK MUSIC IS THE CHIP
As video games have gained steam in our society over time, their influence on us has also blossomed. Music inspired by geek culture and games is on the rise.
