It's no secret that I'm no fan of Windows, and it has nothing to do with me being a Linux "fanboi" (I'm not). Rather, it's the fact that Windows continually gives me reason to complain, as there exist implementations and problems that arise that just boggle my mind. Take this issue, for...

Although I'm a huge Need for Speed fan, I also have enjoyed playing games from the Test Drive series ever since the first release, so of course, I've been anticipating Test Drive Unlimited 2 for months. Does it live up to my personal hype? After sinking about four hours into the game so far, the...

With an official known release date for Duke Nukem Forever (May 3, 2011), it's just a matter of time before we'll all be able to give the latest Nukem release a spin and see if, after 12 years of development time, the game aged like a fine wine. Last week, Gearbox invited select members of the...

For the avid music listener, Apple offers a good range of portable players. For those who need something super-small, there's the shuffle, and for those who want the same but a little more feature-rich, there's the nano. Then of course there's the touch, which avails iPhone-like functionality...

As a devout PC gamer, I've come to love Valve's Steam platform over the years. The main reason is one I could sum up simply as "ultimate convenience". About 90% of the games I play in a given year are available on Steam, and because of that, I simply couldn't imagine using another solution. Once...

Up until a couple of months ago, I had been using Mozilla's Firefox Web browser since long before it even became "Firefox". As I moved over to Chrome, I began to notice that Firefox 4.0 was beginning to take quite a number of features or aesthetic cues from Chrome, among others, and I apparently...

Within the piracy realm, it's not too difficult to read first-hand accounts of people who've been hit with harsh court rulings, or the perspective from the record/movies/etc companies themselves. But it's not often we hear the opinions straight from the lawyers, who are clearly the binding force...

It's been merely a week since Intel announced a fault found within its H67/P67 chipsets, but given the amount of chatter around the Web in that time, it almost feels like it's been a lot longer. Although consumers are still stuck in a bit of a rough spot, or more of a waiting game, Intel is...

Indeed, I spent a fair bit of money on the Christmas Steam sale... something like £120 on 45 games, still haven't even downloaded and played half of them so far...

Here's some interesting numbers to mull over; Valve's digital distribution arm, Steam, was estimated to bring in just shy of $1 billion in revenue during 2010. Steam officially doesn't release sales figures, so these can be taken with a pinch of salt, but the numbers are impressive non-the-less...

With the Super Bowl just around the corner, how could we not give readers a little technology related NFL news? Whether you love it or hate it, there is no denying that Apple's iPad has been hugely successful in a variety of scenarios. So much so that NFL teams are starting to take notice and...

You don't have to be a member of Flickr to experience the pain off of this one! Mirco Wilhelm, a devout Flickr user that has in total uploaded over 4,000 photos to the site, sent in a complaint to customer service about another user that was breaking the rules (publishing stolen photos). The...

For those seeking out a brand-new flat-screen TV, early January may seem like the best time of year to purchase, but not so. Instead, it seems like the best time of year to purchase a TV is right before, or after, the Super Bowl. Seems a bit silly, but when you look at the facts, it does seem to...

Epic games has been busy with the marketing for its new game, Bulletstorm. They made this wonderful parody of Call of Duty called 'Duty Calls'. There are just so many little elements in it that you need to watch it a couple times to spot them. <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640"...

Seems these boards are very picky with RAM types... http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1517562 But since this problem has only started after you took it out of the case (regarding the RAM specifically), could be a loose DIMM slot, cracked solder, etc. Remove and insert the memory 3-4 times...

It's not too often that a company such as Google will speak quite bluntly about the poor business practices of its competitors, but in this particular case, it might have had good reason to. In its research, it has found that Microsoft's Bing search engine has been ripping off its results, and...

On the PC, gamers are all too used to draconian DRM schemes, but believe it or not - console gamers are not devoid of it either. It could be imagined that there are no such DRM schemes on a console that could cause a real headache for gamers, but that's not true. With the advent of downloadable...

After news of a design flaw found by Intel in its 6-series chipset spread like wildfire, motherboard manufacturers are starting to issue press releases with information on what consumers can do if they have an affected board. You can read the rest of our post and discuss here.

So with the first month of the year gone, leaving me clueless as to where it went, lets have a look at how the Internet browser market is fairing. The big news would be that Chrome has finally broken the double digit barrier at 10.7% market share, up from 9.98% in December. This is largely due...

In what might come as a surprise to no one, Amazon earlier this week announced that ebook sales on its site are outselling hardcovers, and it's expected that in the second quarter, they'll also outsell paperbacks. If you're not impressed by this, your opinion might change when I tell you that...
