Earlier this week, Gearbox's ChrisF released information about the Golden Key and what wonderful treasures it could possibly unlock. When this Golden Box (shown below) located in Sanctuary is opened, you will always be given a very rare item(s) that is scaled to your character's level at the...

The Atari 2600 is about as iconic as a console can get. Released in 1977, it offered cool color graphics, a massive collection of games, and believe it or not, even had online capabilities. For many reasons, the console goes down as one of the best ever released, and that means just one thing...

Sometimes, having too many windows open and the taskbar becomes squashed, can lead to some very poor word choice in titles... I'll let your imagination spin on that for a while...

Some odd numbers there for sure... Unity is slower than Windows by quite a margin on a 460, but slightly faster with a 680. I guess the drivers make use of the improved architecture and tune accordingly. Bit of a shame if I'm honest, it probably means that older generation cards are likely to be...

I took the liberty to do some digging for you. First of all, if you decide to do this, it is at your own risk. Secondly, TLER may not be an available option on your drive as WD removed the feature from a number of drives since 2009 onwards. I had to scour a few sites and pages to find a valid...

Helping to round out Kepler's middle-ground, NVIDIA today has unveiled its GeForce GTX 650 and 660 graphics cards. With the 660 Ti having been released not long ago, a non-Ti version might seem a bit strange so soon, but both cards are a fair bit different. While the Ti edition edges super-close...

As I had a conversation just this week with someone about the idea of working on a tablet, this cautionary tale at PC Pro immediately caught my eye. It's a story of a school (unnamed) that adopted iPads in lieu of laptops for its staff and have come to regret it heavily. The reason is no doubt...

Think you've dealt with too many high-end CPUs. The i3 will have quite a low TDP (35 Watt). Mobility based i3 CPUs could go down to 18 Watt TDP. So no, I don't think heat is an issue here.

The problem with that method is you have to disable it on EVERY single game... there is no global option for it, and yes, Steam forum is littered with complaints about the feature not working. There are some updates that seem to bypass the setting completely. Requiring people to do it on a per...

Spintronics... where the rotation of an electron determines whether a gate is active or not- been in development since 1980s.

While this is a very long overdue addition, there is still one CRITICAL thing missing from Steam. Proper download management. You can not limit download or upload speeds. In fact, you have no control over upload at all (apart from disabling cloud saves), so there is no way to limit Steam while...

Ever have a friend, that during your big announcement, can't shut up about their own happenings? Well, Valve is kind of like that friend this week. While Intel, Apple, and other major players are in San Francisco unveiling their latest innovations this week, Valve keeps on giving us reason to...

With Riptide GP and Shine Runner, developer Vector Unit has twice proven that it knows how to make a fun mobile racer. Does Beach Buggy Blitz become the third? After having put some time into it this past week, I can confidently answer that with a resounding "yes". I am not usually one for...

Might be something as simple as dust. Sometimes, typically with dual laser mice, if dust settles or catches under the lens, it'll prevent it from moving along a single axis. That or it really is dead...

Valve rolled out the beta for Steam's "Big Picture" mode last night, and as someone with little-to-no patience, I dove right in. As mentioned in our post from yesterday, Valve designed Big Picture with a gamepad in mind (*gasp*), so I was interested to see how smooth the interface would be -...

At what point are our processors going to become small enough that their cost and size will no longer be a concern? According to Intel, by 2020. Prior to the company's annual Developer Forum kick-off, a presentation was shown that gives the example of "Compute Moves to Zero" - that is, the point...

Since their release in late 2010, Rosewill's RK-9000 keyboards have proven popular among those looking to adopt a mechanical model. They're simple in design, reliable, and have been reasonably-priced - and unlike many vendors which pick and choose only one or two Cherry MX switches to use...

Endorphin releases, dopamine, adrenaline, all get released. Violent video games have nothing to do with it, it's about fun and physical stress. You'd get the same kick from a long run... or a roller-coaster, or indeed, sex. Did they check the pain response of sex? Might find it comparable or...

I guess it cuts down on weight, though I don't know about compatibility, since most laptops/notebooks etc support 9.5mm, I'm wondering about screw mounts, if they'd even fit with a 5.5mm drive. A lot of the SSDs I've seen are 7mm to 9.5mm, and i know the 7mm fit. I don't know, I'm just guessing...
