The Windows world has gone public announcing their Windows 7 compatible products with this un-doubtably slick sticker. Set to appear on hardware, software and most new peripherals, the label is intended to reassure customers that they'll have the "optimal Windows 7 experience" thanks to "robust testing requirements" and a much longer testing cycle than the Vista / XP seal of approval.

In fact, over 6,000 products have been given a passing grade and not only computers, there is lots of peripherals and software. To be clear, this seal of approval is primarily intended for peripherals and accessories you purchase after your you get a computer, which is why testing against 64-bit Windows 7 is a requirement.

We are looking forward to the launch of Windows 7 and we ask now, what are your thoughts?

Uncharted 2 Among Thieves Gameplay trailer - Absolutely Stunning

 Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is truly a stunning piece of not only gaming gold, but pure art and beauty. Just to start off, I love the 360, but there is no way in hell that the power of the 360 can handle this game, in fact Uncharted: Drakes fortune had to be toned down, so the 360 could run it, without looking like a flip-cartoon-book (low fps). Read why it cant run on the 360 [...]

Mechanical Tumor is the grossest computer accessory ever - May be useful

Yes, this is exactly what you think this is, a nasty looking rubber tumor. And if no-one told me it was fake, I would be like "OMFG there is a tumor on that computer :O" but now that I know what it is and that it is fake (thank god) why was it even thought to make one of these nasty rubber nuggets.

Its the brainchild of Japanese interactive media artist Mio I-zawa, and this thing is flat-out disgusting. I mean, it's certainly well-made, but what the heck does it do? It measures the amount of work being loaded to your CPU. Yes my friends, that is what it does, but this story gets much more exciting!
