    Razer MMO Rodent Drops Tail - Gains Wings

    I remember something about the extra buttons only work for certain games. Some will just refuse to work. You'd have to program macro's and key presses to get them to function in game. Some games i've played in the past will refuse to accept mouse buttons past 5 during custom control setup. Which...

    Nvidia Removes XFX from Official Partners Listing

    Nvidia has officially removed XFX from its list of partners. XFX was well known for distributing high end and often overclocked graphics cards based on Nvidia GPUs. The action by Nvidia may come as a surprise to some, but XFX has not produced a Graphics card based on the Nvidia Fermi...

    Razer MMO Rodent Drops Tail - Gains Wings

    Razer has an impressive catalogue of gaming peripherals and one of its more unique products to catch our attention was the 17 button Naga Mouse. Well, an update to the strangely alluring rodent was Epic. It swapped a tail for wings and the Razer Naga Epic was born. Read the rest of our post...

    Wow!!! My second Bad Azz PSU For The Low Low

    Bah, wish the uk had deals like that. We only get discounts like that on waffle irons and multi-gym hand grip accessory attachment utensils.... (junk). I never trust the RRP prices though, since only retailers sell them at those prices, e-tailers tend to do 20-30% discounts anyway. I still don't...

    Gran Turismo 5 - Forever

    No surprise here, Gran Turismo 5 has been further delayed from the November 2nd release date, the now umpteenth delay for the GT5 release. While Polyphony Digital and Kazunori Yamauchi will often cite 'perfection' as the excuse, it'll only get you so far. GT5 Prologue was released way back in...

    Ubuntu 10.10 - Search for the ultimate question

    Over the weekend, Canonical released their latest version of the Debian based Linux OS, Ubuntu 10.10 - Maverick Meerkat. It was released on 10/10/10, or October 10th, 2010. The number games didn't end there, since 101010 binary is 42 decimal... the answer to the meaning of life (Hitch-hikers...

    Could Google's WebP Picture Format Replace JPEG?

    I want a replacement for GIF..... aPNG never really became mainstream, SVG requires javascript to animate, flash is too complicated and bloated for a 2 second animation... oh well, maybe something will show up eventually.

    Windows 7 Libraries and Network Folders

    The problem is with the Library feature, if you have a NAS or File server, and you want to place a network folder within a library, it will not work. Sharing a folder and making it available on the network is easy enough, but if you want to make that network drive or folder available within a...

    Windows 7 Libraries and Network Folders

    I am always fearful of Sync operations, deleting or corrupting something and having it propagate through the chain. My backup chain is usually out of date, but the important stuff i tend to do manually to make sure it's safe. I have duplicates and triplicates across my hard drives and network...

    Gadget Freak Case File #173: Toy Machine Gun Zaps Pests

    Someone upped the ante with a paintball gun... then someone else did it with a rapid fire BB gun..... the military do it with real guns. Yup, Judgement Day is just around the Schwarzenegger shaped corner...

    Won a Gigabyte P55A UD7

    1156 becomes 1155 1366 becomes 2011 Just waiting for the shear volume of article and review typo's that'll be made. 1366 and 2011 are easy enough to tell apart, higher is better, it's a quad memory controller and PCIe 3.0. 1156 and 1155, that's going to be a problem, the 55 is the newer version...

    Help!! I Need a New Laptop (Seriously I do)

    If you want battery life, an Acer Timeline (like the Aspire 4810T) will net about 7-8 hours 'productivity' or about 4 hours with a DVD with a 14" screen, so notebook territory. Price start at 400 and got to 900 i think, depending on model. The problem is it doesn't perform as well. But anything...

    Microsoft Brings Back Windows 7 Family Pack (For a Limited Time)

    Amazon selling for $140...http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-Premium-Upgrade-Family/dp/B002MV2MG0 OEM upgrades... doesn't make sense to me, but oh well.

    In the case of a bad GPU, Windows vomits

    I confess, I just put my old GPU in the oven. I stripped it best I could, foil wrapped and supported. While it doesn't suffer from the vertical lines problem, it did suddenly fail. I'll be trying it out later. If the PC even gets past Post or displays anything at all, it's a win, since the card...

    Up To $500 In Razer Gear Is Up For Grabs

    It's an invite competition thing, invite as many people as possible to get them to sign up.... and get you on their facebook friend list, lol. They call it random when you have to invite others to get 'frag' points, lol.

    Is Blu-ray Going to be "Passed By" as a Format?

    I seriously doubt BD has had its time... ISP's are not forthcoming with bandwidth (especially here in the UK) so we couldn't stream if we wanted to, we'd either get fined insane amounts or heavily throttled traffic, making the connection useless. No such thing as Unlimited in this country...

    Specs for AMD's Radeon HD 6750 and HD 6770 Leaked

    If the 6770 out performs the 5850 at launch and only costs $20 more, think what 2 months of driver enhancements could do. Remember, launch day performance is always lower than optimum, when you give them a few months to sort the drivers out, you can easily add another 10-20% performance. Wait...

    AMD to Modify its Radeon HD 6000 Naming Scheme?

    Neither do I, seems pointless. AMD tried to dump the numbering system as well, and wanted us to use cedar and evergreen and such... but then that just further confuses consumers... and techy's, since which is better, at least with numbers, higher = better.... unless it's nvidia (9600 vs 8800 or...

    Sony's PlayStation 3 Seeing Hacks En Masse

    Look how long it took hackers to do, well, anything... Sony gave them a serious challenge here and has enjoyed years of uninterrupted sales, the high price was the biggest hurdle for people to jump over. But it doesn't take long to see how many blunders Sony's made over the last couple years, it...

    Building New Gaming Rig

    What you may want to do is get a cheaper graphics card, like a 5770 for the time being and wait for the new AMD 6000 series to come out over the next few months. I can't say for certain if the top of the line model will be 'available' (released is one thing, getting one is another) this year, so...
