I put up a hand-on of these two bags a few months ago, but I have to repost it. Not only in the spirit of Bag Week , mainly because I’ve found after using both bags over the last few months, my initial conclusion was dead on: These bags are rad. Features: Cordura outer shell with a 18oz weatherproof tarp liner behind Seatbelt webbing strap Technically utility bags so no padding to protect your computer Made in the US and guaranteed for life Both have an $80 MSRP Pros Lightweight but still durable Tarp liner makes them very weatherproof The Vega is a perfect size for an 11-inch notebook Cons Straps get bunched up on the buckle So what makes these bags so good?
The Short Version: The Siberia v2 is SteelSeries’ entry into the virtual-surround headset market, and it holds its own against the excellent Logitech G35s and Razer’s Megalodon headset — at least, in sound quality.

McDonald’s has announced earlier this week that in the near future most of the fast-food restaurants will start offering free WiFi to all their customers. In the past (January) there was a $2,95 fee for 2-hours of internet at 11,000 of their restaurants, but it will become free in 2010. A smart move by McDonald’s… Dave

The rumoured update to Sprint ( NYSE: S )’s BlackBerry ( NSDQ: RIMM ) Tour (code-named Essex) which was to include Wi-Fi and a trackpad has shown its face. This is certainly not the first time we’ve seen the 9650 , and the CEO was already pretty open about an updated Tour , but it’s the first concrete sign of a device that was definitely built for Sprint. This particular model was running OS 5.0.0.385, and was apparently being sold privately from someone within RIM

This week, Yahtzee takes on the game that is, to me, the best reason to buy a PS3 right now: Demon’s Souls .This innovative title was hailed widely by critics as a return to the old-school “you die now” style of gaming many of us grew up with, but it doesn’t sit quite right with Yahtzee. Of course, he doesn’t mention the controls, graphics, depth, or anything other than the fact that it’s groin-punchingly hard, so you can bet he thought all that was great and just didn’t want to say so

There are already a few iPhone apps that use Microsoft ( NSDQ: MSFT )’s Bing search engine to scour the web, so it only makes sense that Microsoft launch a proper Bing iPhone app in the AppStore – nevermind the fact that Microsoft is developing mobile applications for its arch-rival’s mobile operating system. Today, Microsoft is making it easier to wade through search engine “noise” with an iPhone app that delivers relevant search results to your iPhone

Awww, schweeeeeet! This calculator says, “Hey, I need a calculator but I want people to know that I’m down with video games. Please don’t step, mess, or front. I got eight digits to work with, B.” Shaped like an Xbox controller, you’ve got a D-pad with add, subtract, multiply, and divide keys, number pad right in the middle of everything, functions on the right, and big fat CE and equals buttons.

PayPal is launching a new application that lets you send cash from your account to whoever you want right from your BlackBerry ( NSDQ: RIMM ). It integrates with the native contact list for added convenience, and also has access to your account balance and transaction history. These two companies have been cozy ever since the BlackBerry App World launched, since RIM chose PayPal as the exclusive payment method (although carrier billing is apparently on the way)

If I asked a wide range of people what they they think the best user interface is, most would respond Microsoft ( NSDQ: MSFT )’s Windows 7, some will say Mac OS X 10.6, the people who spend their entire day glued to their laptop will say either Firefox, Chrome or Safari, but what if I told you that this was the best interface today, the one everyone uses multiple times a day, and may not even realize it even fits into the category of “user interface”, is Google ( NSDQ: GOOG )’s search box? Take a look at Apple ( NSDQ: AAPL )’s iPhone, and then take a look at any user interface created in the past two decades, and you’ll realize that a cluster of icons representing applications that do different things is the one thing that has remained consistent and has not evolved over all these years. The same can be said about Microsoft’s Windows Mobile and Symbian
