The measure, which was adopted mid-March and goes into effect July 1, imposes a sale and use tax on specified digital products–including digital audio-visual works such as movies, digital audio works such as ringtones, and digital books.

Asus’ VENTO chassis line has been around for years, and with the introduction of the TA-M2, we’re led to believe that it’s still going strong. Like many gaming enclosures today, this one also sports a translucent side panel and plenty of LED lighting, but unlike most, there one has a touch of class to go along with all that pizzazz.Right away, we’re turned on by the screw-less design and advanced ventilation system. On that topic, we should note that the side panel fans are located on an adjustable plate for

You’re probably pretty proud of that 24″ LCD that you use to play the hottest titles at 1080p or above, but what if we told you those same games (and those same resolutions) could be seen on a 150″ screen — and you wouldn’t even need a home theater space to make it happen? Now that we have your attention, take a close look at the coffin-like box below. That, believe it or not, is a projector.Just as netbook-like computing power was only possible by linking vacuum tubes and power cables in a warehouse, this
