It feels like only last year when we were all basking in the glory of the Windows 7 release, but no, three years on, we're here again but singing a different tune. Windows 8 and its Metro'fication has been Released to Manufacture (RTM), with build number 9200. This is stage one of the official...

Borderlands 2 is the third highest pre-order for Take-Two, only behind GTA series. http://techgage.com/news/borderlands_2_is_third_highest_pre-order_in_take-twos_history/

In our notebooks and on top of the processors on our graphics cards, Vapor Chamber cooling technology is not too rare. But with desktop CPU coolers, it's not only rare, but non-existent (to our knowledge). That is until now, of course, as Cooler Master has just announced its plans to begin...

In a move many arguably saw coming, Bioware's often criticized first MMO title will be enabling a Free-To-Play option, sometime in the coming autumn. For the most part, the details are rather thin, but a general outline of both the Subscriber-based and Free-based systems have been outlined on...

When Valve a couple of weeks ago announced that it has been working on a Steam client for Linux, we stressed just how big of a deal it is for users of the OS. Gaming has always been a sour point for Linux, and still is in some regards on OS X - at least compared to Windows. But with a company...

I guess another important point is the reputation of hotmail. It's a 90s throwback and invokes non-too-fond memories, all the growing pains, disputes, and a lot of spam. The modern service is much better compared to its legacy namesake. By switching over to 'Outlook' - it is effectively starting...

Ahh, claw machines. One of the oldest and most popular attractions at any arcade, claw machines taunt you not with hopes of a high score, but a real prize. If you're skillful enough, you'll be able to orient the claw perfectly, reach down and snatch that cool toy. But, is that all that's...

If you have ever read news online, and chances are good that you have if you're still breathing, you've no doubt seen a countless number of sources quoted. It could be a story about an accident that happened downtown, an article about how people with the messiest desks work the most efficiently...

With all its awesomeness and potential, DirectX 11 sure does suffer a lacking of demos that can show off its abilities - and the demos that do exist tend to focus mostly around tessellation. Well, coming from Japan is a simple demo called Rigid Gems, utilizing "hybrid raytracing" techniques that...

It hasn't even been a full week since Google announced its planned rollout of 'Google Fiber' Internet in both Kansas Citys, but the outpouring of support so far is evident - especially on the Missouri side. There, a staggering 39 eligible neighborhoods have reached Google's minimum goal for...

The problem with that is the 6-pin fan connector. I have no idea how that would be hooked up inside an ATX system. A brief search doesn't show up any adapters or add-on cards.

Microsoft taking the intel strategy; Tick - New architecture and fundamental improvements, whether people want it or not, Tock - Refine the architecture, bug fix, polish. Repeat. The problem is that Microsoft isn't very good at giving people what they want, rather it likes to give what it...

The software issues were more to do with bricking than a lack of features... although mouse macros interrupting keyboard commands were infuriating. It just took Corsair far too long to update the firmware and software. And yeah, the M90 is a really well-built mouse, and I do love the quality...

They avoid bubble wrap and foam because it's not easy to recycle compared to cardboard. It's easier to just bung the entire box into card recycle that separate the stuff out. I kind of like the card, adds rigidity to the internals so that they don't collapse when you pile them 60 high, ship them...

Blister-pack packaging... the absolute worst, often used by memory cards, USB storage and most flash media, anything small really. Can't stand the stuff, scissors have a tough time getting through the edges, and a Stanley knife is more likely to cut your hand. Packaging in general though, meh...

I don't know, but I'll need to format my skin and defrag my hardware in preparation. Better get a scan too, don't know what I'm carrying anymore, could be viral.

You can Anti-Alias me any day baby. Multi sample, Super sample, even rub me down in an anisotropic filter for a long distance relationship. My DOF has a FOV wide enough for the both of us. I am still the tease too, you can caress my menus all day with a touchscreen, but you can't play... not...

Blog post cropped up about the scale of TL2 - it's approximately 4 times larger than the previous, so there's plenty of new content. http://www.torchlight2game.com/news/2012/07/20/size-matters-travis-talks-about-scale/ Nice to see some transparency too (yeah, makes no sense, but whatever), the...

Mr. Potato Head for the 21st Century.

I use TCP Optimizer, it works, relatively safe, and it only affects the network stack. Anything else is largely snake oil laced with LSD - the feel good factor after you 'think' it fixed 320 million problems, only to reboot into a contorted reality that you may very well have just bricked your...
