A 560 is overkill for a resolution of 1440x900, but not a bad choice either (you'll be able to turn up the AA settings now), it'll effectively remove a bottleneck and could be used in the next system till you acquire more funds. I know for a lot of online games, the Core 2 series are begging to...

After reading through the press release, it seems to be very mobile centric, so this anouncement is likely to do with bringing better support to Android, rather than Linux in general. More so, about Tegra support, rather than NVIDIA's desktop graphics line. We can still want and wish, but we'll...

In a surprising announcement today, The Linux Foundation made it known that NVIDIA has become a member of this nonprofit consortium of companies tasked with the promotion and growth of the Linux operating system. NVIDIA joins its name to such companies as IBM, Intel or AMD. You can read...

Apple unveiled yesterday the new iPad, aptly named iPad. That's right, the third generation of the iPad brand dispenses any need for version naming. Most likely because this is a vastly different product from the original iPad, both in features and presentation. You can read the rest of...

There are certain expectations when loading up a game for the first time. Unspoken rules govern the experience that should be presented to the player. Dear Esther breaks all those rules yet pulls off something very unique. Read on as we delve into the latest Indie funded 'experience'. Read...

Razer, the well known manufacturer of computer accessories for gamers and Sixense Entertainment, a developer of motion-sensing technology, announced this Tuesday motion-sensing support for Valve's games Half-Life 2, Team Fortress and Left 4 Dead. How so? With the Razer Hydra motion-sensing PC...

Indeed, he could very well fix the issue himself if it's such a huge problem. What I meant by wireless being a policy issue, I meant that the Distro could set it up as no root by default and a policy change for businesses to enable root for network discovery. Hence me saying it's a Policy issue...

I'm feeling rather ill at the moment... i'll probably be unable to work for a while... probably at least a week... It'll be a slow recovery though... *cough*.... uhh... maybe 2 weeks, I'll see how it goes...

Root password for printers, yeah, kind of dumb. Changing time zones? yeah... again kind of dumb... But for a new wireless network, I'm in two minds, that IS a security risk after all, but admittedly a very user-friendly thing to have. When using a laptop, you need to be able to access new...

The problem with GFWL wasn't in the lack of features - it just didn't work. I've had so many problems trying to play games connected through it I just gave up. Resident Evil 5, Dawn of War, Lost Planet - I could barely get those to work, so just gave up in the end. A few months later when I...

Now if only they killed, burned, hung and then buried (in that order) Games For Windows Live...

Hah... ISO 400, I wish mine could handle that. Technically, it can do 1600, realistically, it does 100. The noise above 100 is horrendous; sure, I may be able to scrub some of it away in software filtering, but that just significantly reduces detail, defeating the purpose of taking the picture...

I have a Canon Powershot G10 - one of those prosumer point'n'shoots, the biggest weakness with it is low light levels, it really can't handle them at all, due mainly to the high density small size sensor. The lens can cause a lot of distortion on wide-angle and the Chromatic aberration is awful...

It's the contrast, it's a little too high, drop it back and the blacks will even out. You also have some Chromatic Aberrations going on, that's the blue/cyan tint around edges you see, that's usually the result of lens distortion of the flash. Contrast is easy to fix, the Chromatic - not so...

"What fashion model was the default Shepard’s face based upon?" "The character Garrus is voiced by which actor?" Holy... Mass Effect isn't based on anything, no actors or models, it's all real man!! How dare they!

The problem with a new mouse always comes back to the 'break-in' period, actually getting used to a new grip. Unless you buy an identical mouse, there will always be a transitional period - even if you buy something 'similar'. That period is about 2 weeks of regular use. Your hand will be sore...

PCIe x16 slots will accept any x16, x8, x4, x2 or x1 card, so yes, the USB3 card will work. Just something to bear in mind, some of the older USB3 addon cards use PCIe 1.1, instead of 2.0, and thus will not achieve the full USB3 speed. Further, if the card is PCIe x1 and you try to use two USB3...

Over eating - there's your Serotonin...

You guys missed something vital - 'Windows Pro installed' - it's a professional gaming system after all, it has 3 GPUs. And those motherboards are a bargain, is that Nano-ITX's anorexic sister's friend's cousin?

There is a better alternative naming for such games. Pay 2 Win - and every single one of them uses the same formula. They're free trials with an unlimited level cap, it'll just take you 10 times longer to do anything compared to someone with an infinite bank account. Companies proclaim that...
