    Facebook Reaches 1 Billion Active Users - Just How Much Further Can We Go?

    It's hard to believe that there could be a Web service so popular, that people are shocked to find out when someone isn't on it, but that's what Facebook has become. Some people I know who don't use a computer all too often are on it, and I've heard many people over the years say they'd never...

    Apple Confirms iPhone 5's Purple Aura Camera Issue

    Not long after Apple launched its latest iPhone, complaints started creeping up around the Web of a purple haze that would appear in certain photos, more often than not ruining it. In a message to one customer, AppleCare stated that it was considered to be normal behavior, and that the recommend...

    Microsoft's Latest Internet Explorer Commercial Gets an 'Honest Version'

    When this year's NFL season kicked-off in August, I began seeing a new commercial from Microsoft on a regular basis advertising, of all things, Internet Explorer 9. The reason the commercial caught my eye is due to the simple fact that the music is pretty good - though the dubsteppy sound might...

    Maine Politician Slandered Against for Playing World of Warcraft

    "I personally responsible for the death of trillions of virtual citizens and aliens... what did you do this weekend?" I could use that as a slogan, right?

    The Girl Who Loves Photoshop So Much, She Got a Tattoo

    Why oh why did she pick CS3 - it was horrible and super buggy. Oh well, her choice, but now that things have moved on and all the icons look different... she's already out of date... or is that dates... yes, I'm cruel with my puns, muhahaha... *crawls back to his AI, ID, DW and PS shrine...*

    Steam now offering Software

    That's the one thing missing from the Windows platform in general, a place to browse software. This is something (else) that Linux has been years ahead on. Sure, we have websites and such which sell software, sometimes with feedback, but that's about it, very little integration past that. Steam...

    Today, Valve has began to offer Software via the popular digital distribution platform, Steam. There has been much speculation in regards to when this would launch since missing it's initial launch window in September. With the launch of this new Software service, Valve is currently offering...

    Cooler Master to Use 'Horizontal Vapor Chambers' in Future CPU Coolers

    This is the same tech used in GPUs, yes. While you are technically correct with the boiling points, they are not the points used in a vapor chamber. Those boiling points are at sea level. Enclosed loops like these put the water in at low pressure, almost vacuum levels, so the boiling point is...

    Integrated Graphics a Thing of the... Future..?

    The other thing that needs to be considered here is that people have been happy with console games. Tablets and phones are now catching up to consoles too. Yes the resolutions are lower, but this is the critical point: It's good enough. With the gaming industry becoming platform agnostic, the...

    Integrated Graphics a Thing of the... Future..?

    I wouldn't be so hasty in dismissing IGPs like we used to. Remember, they were on the north bridge for quite some time and a lot of their reputation was built on that very inefficient foundation. Now that the GPU is on-die, not shared die, but actually part of the CPU, then it certainly removes...

    Microsoft Accused of Wasting $70K in Power to Avoid Fine

    The word people are looking for is 'perishable'. If it's produced and not used, it is wasted. This is the single biggest problem with power generation, hence the desire for a national battery grid using Electric Vehicles. There are various methods for temporary storage of power using giant...

    Integrated Graphics a Thing of the... Future..?

    I'd have to emphasise Rob's last point there. x16x8 really doesn't matter when you are dealing with PCIe 3.0 as far as GPUs goes. PCIe 2.0 x8 has more than enough bandwidth for a top end dual GPU card. PCIe 3.0 doubles the bandwidth further. Technically, you could run a top end dual GPU in an x4...

    Wipeout - Where Have You Been All My Life?

    For some reason, all I could think was Genki from Saints Row Third without the guns... though I wouldn't be surprised to see them in the future.

    The *Official* I'm Pumped For Borderlands 2 Thread AKA Here's My Wallet, Randy!

    Going from low to high Physx was just... ridiculous. It just adds so many effects in a fire fight, you become blinded with the eye-candy. Personally, I think it's a little over the top, especially with the fire; things just become very difficult to see, so I may drop it down to medium. Anyway...
