    The Girl Who Loves Photoshop So Much, She Got a Tattoo

    I wonder if in 25 years she'll be wanting to Alt + Ctrl + Z that thing.

    The Basics of Multi-Monitor Gaming

    Excellent article, Brandon! I've been yearning for a multi-monitor setup for a while, and this sure does whet the appetite even more. I'll ultimately have to take the NVIDIA route as some emulators and older games I run don't cooperate with AMD too well, so I'm looking forward to dealing with...

    HTC Rolls-out Tegra 3-infused One X+

    Good question on the availability, and the cost I am sure won't be that cheap given it's a performance phone. I'd really like to know when Tegra 4 is actually set to ship, because Tegra 3 is now almost a year old, and when the iPhone 5 comes along and offers 4x the graphics performance, I can't...

    Ban lifted, Galaxy 10.1 is going back up for sale in the U.S.

    About time. It's a solid tablet. I still find it odd that one other company can literally have another company's products pulled from the shelves while a case is still being settled.

    HTC Rolls-out Tegra 3-infused One X+

    Much to NVIDIA's angst, there haven't been too many Tegra-based phones released in the US, and whenever I've questioned the company about when things could pick up, I've never given much of a confident answer. Well, with HTC's latest announcement, we might just see things begin to pick up on the...

    The Girl Who Loves Photoshop So Much, She Got a Tattoo

    I do wonder if down the road she'll get a complementary tattoo on the other arm with channels, layers and color swatches.

    Intel-powered Motorola RAZR i Gets Poked, Prodded

    The launch of Motorola's RAZR i a couple of weeks ago was made interesting for the fact that it's powered by an Intel Atom (Medfield-based) processor. Since Intel phones are far and few between, I couldn't help but wonder if this would be the phone that would finally give Intel the success it...

    The Girl Who Loves Photoshop So Much, She Got a Tattoo

    To some, tattoos are the ultimate form of expression. Getting one takes a lot of guts, and often a strong belief in whatever the tattoo is all about. It's not all too often we see a geeky tattoo with some actual meaning, however, but the case of Megan Orsi, from Pennsylvania, is a bit of an...

    Intel's Prices Stagnate, Thanks to AMD

    It's hardly a secret that Intel is currently the most competitive CPU vendor in terms of performance, and while that might seem fine on the surface, where pricing is concerned, it's not. If you've built a PC in the past couple of years and have focused on Intel, you've likely noticed that...

    AOC Releases Sub-$300 27-inch i2757FH IPS Display

    It's not really a standard, but it's what most people aim for. 1920x1080 on a display that size is just ugly.

    AOC Releases Sub-$300 27-inch i2757FH IPS Display

    Looking for a large monitor at a good price and can deal with a modest resolution? If so, AOC's just-released i2757fh might be for you. It features an IPS anti-glare panel, a ridiculously-thin 2mm bezel, 5ms response time, 50,000,000:1 contrast ratio, a brightness of 250cd/m2, built-in speakers...

    Steam now offering Software

    I am kind of stoked about this, I admit. Why? I am not really sure. I guess it's my hope that at some point, this might become a really big thing, and it might allow us to get some great software at great prices. Prior to this, there has never been a really great way to buy software like this...

    A Quick Review of Acronis True Image 2013

    Acronis has just followed-up to its award-winning PC backup software True Image, and as we're big fans of the previous versions at TG, we're taking a quick look 2013 here. This time around, Windows 8 support is introduced along with a major emphasis on cloud storage - and if nothing else, its...

    AMD Attempts to Shape Trinity Launch Content - But How Much Does it Matter?

    If the CPU performance on this chip was stellar, AMD wouldn't have asked for a roll-out like this, that's for sure. In essence, it admits the CPU performance is "good enough", while the graphics is top-rate (as far as that goes for IGP). It's a smart business move, but not great for consumers...

    AMD Attempts to Shape Trinity Launch Content - But How Much Does it Matter?

    AMD will be launching its Trinity APUs early next month, marking the first follow-up to its Llano release from last year. While not a high-end part like Bulldozer, AMD is touting Trinity as being a great desktop product and perfect for the HTPC. Whether or not that actually proves to be the...

    Integrated Graphics a Thing of the... Future..?

    For a regular consumer, overclocking might not be that necessary. I don't even personally overclock my own rig, but it's mainly because I have six-cores which naturally boosts encode speeds already. I'd OC maybe if I had a beefier cooler, but it's not a major concern. And yes, Intel does limit...

    Blu Ray Burner/Remote Advice Needed

    Excellent. I hope a build log is in the works :D Have you decided on a chassis / mobo yet? IGP vs. discrete GPU?

    WD Refreshes RE Line-up, Introduces 4TB Models

    If there's one thing the roll-out of 4TB hard drives has proven, it seems no vendor is interested in marketing them towards the regular consumer. That fact receives some backup today with WD's announcement of its first 4TB models, falling under the RE (loosely, 'RAID edition') branding...
