    Ugh, that's ridiculous. I'm thinking that this isn't uncommon at -all-.

    Adobe Releases Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements 11

    With professionals having received their CS6 fix earlier this year, we knew it wouldn't be long before Adobe followed-up with some Elements love for those that don't need the ultimate control that their full-blown counterparts avail. The latest version of each launches today, 11, sporting what...

    CM Storm Scout 2 Mid-Tower Gaming Chassis Review

    Cooler Master's original Scout brought a lot to the table when it was released in 2009, and for all it did right, it came highly recommended by us. Will we be left just as impressed with its sequel, the "Scout 2"? On the surface, this LAN-inspired chassis looks the part and its feature-set...

    Microsoft Accused of Wasting $70K in Power to Avoid Fine

    Imagine receiving a cell phone bill, only to find out that you under-utilized what was offered to you. Now imagine receiving a bill later that charges you 3x as much simply due to that fact. It'd be hard to fathom, right? Well, the New York Times is claiming that Microsoft faced just such an...

    Has RIM's Subscriber Base Flatlined?

    In recent years, there have been very few companies that have had as grim a future as Research in Motion. Time and time again, it seems like the final straw for the company lingers right around the corner, yet it continues to coast along - somehow. Now, don't get me wrong - I don't want to see...

    iPhone 5 Performance Leaves Competition Eating Dust

    When Apple announced its latest iPhone, rumors soon-after hit the Web of leaked benchmarks that placed it well above the competition. With phones finally reaching the hands of fans, though, we're finally able to get some hard numbers, and as usual, Anand wasted no time to get down and dirty with...

    The *Official* I'm Pumped For Borderlands 2 Thread AKA Here's My Wallet, Randy!

    Couple of quick thoughts, after putting four hours in so far. The game is awesome. It has little niggles, but those are nothing in the grand scheme. The worst issue I've encountered so far is when someone will attempt to activate a quest object at the same time (such as a telescope) and then...

    Kickstarter Introduces Stricter Hardware and Product Design Guidelines

    In an effort to prevent projects from over-promising and under-delivering (or not delivering at all), Kickstarter has issued some new guidelines that new projects must adhere to. With so many projects lately being labeled as scams or potential scams, it's no wonder that the company has felt it...

    According to the W3C, we'll see HTML5 by 2014

    Yeah, this is a headline I had to do a double-take on as well. Despite us hearing about HTML5 for what seems like forever and the fact our browsers can take good advantage of it today, the W3C is aiming for 2014 as the year where it will be completely finalized...

    iPhone 5 line-sitters ask for $40 - $150

    In a city like New York, you could no doubt get away with that. On my own Facebook, there were quite a few waiting in line for an iPhone 5 today - even some who are in very well-paying jobs. I can't think of anything I'd wait that long in line for, much less a phone. I could see me waiting in...

    Apple Somehow Manages to Patent a Removable Battery

    Apple has just been awarded a patent that will, once again, leave some scratching their heads. The idea is simple: universal batteries. That is - batteries designed to work in multiple devices. This is a bit different than stand-alone batteries, like AA or AAA, in that it's a special product...

    One Google query = First Apollo program's entire computing

    Warning: this might just be hard on the head. Searching for something on Google today uses more computational power than the entire Apollo program - on ground and in space - used back in the 60s, combined. http://boingboing.net/2012/09/19/one-google-query-one-apollo.html I'm almost not...

    iPhone 5 line-sitters ask for $40 - $150

    I am still having a hard time fathoming the fact that some people will sleep outside just to make sure they're one of the first to get the latest iPhone, but it's not uncommon. It's become so uncommon, in fact, that some people have made a side-business out of it, offering to stand in line for...

    Sophos Issues Anti-Virus Update that Detects the Program Itself as a Virus

    Oh no doubt. It's not clear the number of people that were affected, but if most of this was concentrated to the enterprise... that is not going to bode well for Sophos.

    Guild Wars 2 Review

    I hear that. That's the reason I'll hold off until it goes down in price or something, or by some miracle I end up having a lot more time for a game like that. I am horrible with new MMOs... I want to play them 60 hours a week.

    SteelSeries Sensei [RAW] Gaming Mouse Review

    One thing I am starting to not like, now that I put the mouse to the light, is the fact that finger grease or whatever is on the left and right click buttons. The regular Sensei had a problem with finger dirt also but it could be cleaned easier than I suspect this will be. I think you'll like...
