So I saw this in passing, can't help but agree... free ride, QTEs and casual games... not saying it's all bad but some of the magic has gone from modern games. http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=280

In computing, backing up our data on a regular basis should be like second nature, but for most, it's never even a thought. That is, until something catastrophic happens and we end up losing important data, and lots of it. On a desktop PC, backing up is simple, but on a mobile, it's a little...

Thortech, a company that has been in the industry for 15 years but few may have heard of, announced the launch of their new Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt Plus series power supplies. Each carries an 80Plus Gold certification meaning increased efficiency, modular connections, a 135mm fan, support...

Once in a while, a game comes along that holds so much promise but ends up falling flat on its face. The most recent game that comes to mind that fell the hardest would have to be Realtime Worlds' 2010 release, APB: All Points Bulletin. The initial buzz about this "GTA IV MMO" was huge and I...

Aside from the obvious mass of geeks, one stature at Linux conferences all over the world is the man who invented the Linux kernel over 20 years ago, Linus Torvalds. At the recent Linux.conf.au 2011 conference held in Brisbane, OMG! Ubuntu! caught up with Linus to barrage him with some...

Apples are only good for crashing windows, you can't get a blackberry to work on orange, and kids love eggsboxes.... oh man, it's just too much, lol.

So we were expecting the Playstation Portable 2 (PSP2), instead we get the Next Generation Portable or NGP - It's still a code-name for the time being, but here it is, Sony's next foray into the the portable gaming world. Most of the important details have been released at Sony's Tokyo trade...

So I'm a little (very) cynical when it comes to '3D' or Stereoscopic, since, well, it's not actually 3D, but an optical illusion to provide the appearance of spacial depth. It's grossly expensive to purchase the equipment, limited content, most varieties require the use of rather goofy glasses...

Totally Heinous...

I have to say, watching the marketing Vid was uncomfortable... it was like watching a jock give a highschool presentation... <iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/7b6Ff9Qm2FU?rel=0"...

Since the problems look related to networking, i'm inclined to believe it's the NIC. You could try booting into Safemode with network support and see if that is stable as well. If you have an integrated NIC (network card) on the motherboard. Go into the Bios and disable it, you might have 2...

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Indicative of either memory corruption or a bad driver... Can you boot into Safe Mode successfully? If so, might want to remove display drivers first and reinstall them. If it still crashes randomly, there's a good chance it's faulty memory. Memcheck if you can, or...

This past fall, members of the development team for OpenOffice.org left their posts and moved on over to a group called "The Document Foundation" to create a similar project, called LibreOffice. The move happened as a result of Oracle Corporation's buyout of Sun Microsystems, and since Oracle...

In an interesting announcement coming out of left field, Intel names megastar recording artist will.i.am as the company's "Director of Creative Innovation". For the next couple of years, will.i.am is acting as an official Intel employee to help the company further its "compute continuum" vision...

Coming up to the end of the month, another wave of GPUs make their way onto the market. NVIDIA introduces it's latest - more mainstream solution, the GTX 560 Ti, a model revision of the GTX 460 to take advantage of the matured 40nm manufacturing process, providing users with the GPU they...

When Netflix launched its DVD rental service in 1999, DVDs were still the main source of movie-viewing in the world, and thanks to the convenience factor, it didn't take much time at all before a countless number of homes in the US had red envelopes hit their mailboxes. Fast-forward to today...

One of the biggest features coming to Mozilla's Firefox 4.0 Web browser is the ability to take advantage of your PC's graphics card in order to accelerate the Web. At the least, page rendering can be heavily sped up, and if you are a heavy browser, that's something that would be noticeable right...

If at first you don't succeed - buy a bigger gun... If that doesn't succeed, make a bigger target (monitor).

^^ FrankenFold(er) :p OCDis - an unintelligent combination of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - in relation to folding) and OverClock Dis (this... yes, i'm spelling it out) and.... i'm out again...

I was going to suggest the MX series. MX2 is the least viscous of the lot, meaning smooth and easy spread, performs pretty close to AS5 (sometimes better). MX4 is more viscous (half way between 2 and 3) and better transfer. MX3 is the most viscous and like trying to spread clay, but the best...
