OK, so after a long wait for the software to mature on the RPi, a new distro has been released which takes advantage of some hardware acceleration. The Distro is a hard-float variant of Debian Wheezy called Rasbian - available on the RPi download page. You can read the official blog post here...

Malwarebytes - http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free It's a sad truth, but spybot has long past its heyday, barely finds a thing, not to mention rather slow too. Malwarebytes is the new 'in thing' for spyware (even viruses), and quite rightly so. It's cleared out problems that...

With the usual onslaught of games going on sale, let people know here anything you'd personally recommend, the sort of titles that people tend to glance over. One that I picked up a while ago and going really cheap now is SpaceChem. It's a puzzle game that's very heavily logic based. You use...

Ok, so after reading into the drive a bit, it definitely fills a niche and has its purpose. Its performance is mostly on par with Blues and even Black in some cases. After reading into the TLER feature, it makes sense now. When in RAID, like a RAID 5, a normal drive hits a bad sector, it will...

Meaning, I want an announcement of a remake of some kind that's like the original, not some convoluted, genre switching reimagining that has nothing to do with the original. A GOG release is one thing, but the game was still meant for really low resolution monitors, like EGA. But hey, it's hard...

Sorry, I stopped reading after I saw no mention of a Syndicate HD remake. I reached the end of the post and nothing. Now, anyone that mentions a certain title with the same name by a certain large publisher, released recently, will be castrated with a spoon...

This doesn't surprise me. Warning signs were going off some time ago when Mozilla absorbed the TB Dev team into Firefox. It is a shame to see the client cease development, but I do have to agree, there really isn't much else left for it to do. Unless there is a fundamental change to the way...

And I'd pick this drive over a Black... why? Yeah, this seems more like a step back than forward to be honest, RE4 and Black already filled this role. I guess they wanted a slightly more expensive Green drive, which doesn't drop connections when it power-saves. Next they'll probably reduce the...

Uploading pics, Video calls, saving stuff to the 'cloud' etc. Upload has its uses. Also TCP overhead, there's a point when you can't download any faster because the phone can't request the data fast enough. I guess the phone has a pretty low power transmit, or the tower is crowded.

Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/7 (32/64-bit) • 2GHz Processor or faster • 1GB RAM • DirectX 9-compatible graphic card. Yup, these are the requirements for the OS rather than the game, but hey, the game came out at about the time DirectX 3 and 5 came out (really, lol). Damn, and I bought the game new...

That's just... sad... Glad some people resigned over that, although the manager should have lost their job too. I mean, sure, he was working outside of his 'designated area', but damn, that's just bureaucracy gone wrong (i.e. taking it to the extreme).

Yeah... some cheat code... but if I'm honest, it removes the grind from the game and doesn't mean it's instant win all the way. By the time you reach the end of the game, you'd have full HP and MP and currency becomes meaningless. What will matter is what materia you have, how many of each, the...

Use a VM, either VMWare or VirtualBox, load it up in that and not have the headache. Not everything will work exactly the same, but well enough to get a feel for the OS. And no, using either of the above is not complicated at all, the wizards do a reasonable job of guiding you through things.

Isopropanol is the main part of most glass cleaners, and PC related cleaning in general. You can pick up large 1Ltr or 500ml bottles of the stuff quite cheap, usually in 99.99% form. It's usually more cost-effective than buying normal detergents and such. It's typically better too since it's...

Have to agree with Rob too, there are actually useful things in Windows 8, like the fact Explorer is approaching Win XP functionality again (removing the status bar so you can see how much disk space a folder takes up, really Microsoft, what the hell were you thinking?). Task-manager redesign...

Nice to see a number of titles not normally mentioned in the 'big lists'. Realms of the Haunting, one of those unknown gems; it was barely given any light to shine and thus most of the world never knew of it. A very complex game with some very unforgiving gameplay in places and puzzles rarely...

New release of the Firefox browser for Android users is now out, if people want to give it a try. Seems to be a big improvement with a number of UI options that are likely to appear in the Desktop browser (rounded corners on tabs and such)...

Shit load of mods... really, that's what's doing it (2x and 4x texture replacements, mesh replacements, foliage replacements, water replacement, physics tweaks, etc etc). If I removed/disabled them, performance would go way up... but that means me going through and selectively deleting things...

So I ran Skyrim through some benchmarks with surprising results (for me at least). For the test, I disabled crossfire due to issues with window mode not using the second GPU. Quality was set to max with no AA, 1650x1080 resolution... the reason being because there are a lot of mods running (I...

In an unrelated note, I found out why Chrome installs itself in the user directory rather than program files like most other applications. It's to stop UAC from alarming you when it does its updates - since the user directory doesn't need administrative privileges to change... Which leaves me a...
