    Help with a 3TB drive

    2.19TB is the limit for a non GPT drive, any additional space will just be seen as an unformatted partition which you can not access, symptomatic of your issue. The entire drive needs to be setup as a GPT drive in order to access all data, you can't split the drive up as both an MBR and GPT...

    This is a real advert...

    Not a joke or some clever photoshop trickery, this is a real advert in one of those health and living type magazines... really. I'll take two!

    HTML5 Goodness!

    @font-face { font-family: src: } section, article, aside, header, footer, etc, etc... CSS3 has my real attention though, 3D transformations and rollover effects without javascript. The less javascript in the world, the better.

    Putting floppies to good use...

    I'm just blown away, giggling like a schoolgirl, clapping and have a massive grin after this... just plain awesome. http://youtu.be/dmoDLyiQYKw Must be how Gordon Freeman got into Black Mesa...

    The State Of Western Digital Overseas & Here At Home

    The problem with my local hardware retail stores is that they charge full RRP, which is yet another 10-15% on top of what amazon is selling... It's just absurd that prices rocket in such a short period.

    Blog: Why the PC is Not about Piracy

    We're just smarter than console gamers (:p), we learnt to build these here machines with our bare hands, put up with the mountains of text to read on configuring them; spent days, weeks even, fine tuning, driver swapping, benching, then troubleshooting... just to get these games to work. But...

    The State Of Western Digital Overseas & Here At Home

    I was checking prices for a new hard drive; on Friday, one of my backup drives decided to start randomly timing out. Got a few price points then sat on it over the weekend. Saw the news about this spreading over the Internet and low and behold, prices on amazon went from £52 for a 1TB WD Blue...

    Intel Releases i7-2700K; Lowers Price on i3-2120 & Two Pentium Models

    Especially businesses and such where the CPU can not be overclocked - and where overclocking voids the warranty. So they pay for guaranteed performance.

    The loss of a Visionary: Steve Jobs Passes

    A few moments ago, Apple's front page was changed to reflect the passing of a visionary; Steve Jobs. This is a very sad day, with our heartfelt sympathy going out to his friends and his family. No details as of yet have been released, but the Board of Directors at Apple have released the...

    NVIDIA Releases Battlefield 3 Graphics Guide

    Want an engine that defined a generation? Unreal - it's easier to list games that didn't use it... and as a result, we've had 6 years of PC games looking like consoles. Woot! Not that i'm bashing anyone, but 'define a generation' is more than just top-dog graphics. But yes, this is NVIDIA doing...

    Getting dual 6970's for BF3...need a bigger case

    Corsair Graphite series (600T!!!!) - because I'm biased :D. I know it's mid tower, but i'm pretty sure it can take 2 GPUs with room spare next to the PSU, and there be a lot of cable management. But wait for Ryan to post back me thinks - he's the (case) Man.

    Migrating Your EA Games from Steam or Retail to Origin

    Maybe some of the failed transfers comes down to DRM/Securom based issues, though it won't explain all of them. Mass Effect 1 made use of some more serious DRM, while Mass Effect 2 did not (just DLC). But this wouldn't explain Crysis. Spore was both DRM locked and had a rather extensive online...

    Need help looking for a particular device.

    The alternative would be a wireless HDMI reciever, to which there are several, but they ain't cheap at over $100, plus there is the latency issue with motion pictures. This way you can keep the laptop and wheel close to you and even hook up any other device to it for streaming. Trying to find...

    Adobe Photoshop (cs5) Help!

    This is what's referred to as 'imposition'. There are a whole mass of ways to deal with this, it depends upon how accurate you want the prints to be, and how much time you want to sink in. BTW, When you print and crop to an image with no bleed, you'll be left with a white border from the...

    Microsoft to Utilize UEFI to Make Boots Faster with Windows 8

    With all the hustle surrounding Microsoft's BUILD conference over with, the Windows 8 development team has gotten back to work on its blog, informing us of all that's going to be coming to the company's upcoming OS. In a post made earlier this week, boot times are explored - a topic that both...

    In-Game Ads Activated in Deus Ex: Human Revolution

    I'm in two minds over this one. I don't like 'in your face' ads, the ones that you can't avoid, close or dismiss, the worst being time delayed ones that prevent you from doing anything while it shows you the ad. These ads being in the bottom corner of a load screen aren't too bad - especially...

    New motherboard is ORDERED!

    BIOS = UEFI effectively. I'm being technically correct (since it now no longer has a BIOS, as it's replaced by the EFI) but i guess it just confuses matters. Anyway, if your RAM works fine and plays nice with the motherboard, set and forget, just ignore what I said. However, if you set the...

    New motherboard is ORDERED!

    I'll just warn you now that the board is rather picky when it comes to RAM. I have some 1600 DDR3, the board will run it at 1600 (stable), but only when you set it in the UEFI and boot from there - if you cold boot, it'll fail and you'll need to push the memtest button on the board to reset it...

    4:04 - Internet enabled

    You know the drill - happily minding other peoples business, ranting, sharing dubious links to questionable youtube videos and conversing with others over Sony's latest blunders - then poof, the magic that is the internet is removed from your clutches. No warning, no apathetic email or prompt...

    Corsair Enters the Keyboard and Mouse Market

    With the mouse, sure, it's ugly - but thinking about it, practical. The Logitech G700 I reviewed a while ago, not exactly a looker, but it was practical. The 12 button array on the Naga by Razer would be quite easy to get lost with, since all the buttons are the same size and shape. This one by...
