    The loss of a Visionary: Steve Jobs Passes

    Oh, and Finding Nemo. I used to watch it with my girls, each of us taking turns quoting the lines as we went along. That's one of my fondest memories and I imagine it will remain that way until the end. Pixar is a factory of amazing.

    The loss of a Visionary: Steve Jobs Passes

    Horrible news, even when expected, is still horrible. I have had an iPhone for almost three years and I cannot picture life without it. I know that sounds sad but it has been integrated into almost every part of my life. Correspondence, gaming, culinary adventures, media consumption and...

    BlackBerry PlayBook Seeing Price-Drops at Some Retailers

    I loved the PlayBook after playing around with it for about 30 minutes at CES last year. The size was right and the hardware seemed capable. Their lack of apps is a downer but that's up to Blackberry to make the platform more attractive to developers. Android compatibility would really give...

    A Quick Look at Mandriva 2011

    I love the write up Rob. I tried Mandriva 2011 out for a few days last week when it was released but was not moved enough to switch from openSUSE. I know I'm still a noob when it comes to Linux but I felt more comfortable in openSUSE. The polish is there and should be appreciated. I like...

    25 Foods We'll Never Be Able to Eat Again

    Red Bull mixes with alcohol quite well. Aside from that, its kind of just pricey arm pit sweat.

    25 Foods We'll Never Be Able to Eat Again

    Orbitz was some sick shit. I tried it a couple of times because my sister and I just had to have it. We were mistaken.

    Im buying an SSD.,,, Halp!

    I don't see many negative reviews for the Corsair. I do see someone bitching about the drive not working but in the same rant, he calls the support engineer at Corsair a moron. This invalidates his complaint in my mind. There are a few issues explained by some but they seem to be problems...

    Im buying an SSD.,,, Halp!

    120GB is in my price range and should be more than enough space for what I need it for. I know I will be limited on games that I can install but whatever. I'm rarely playing more than one at a time at any stretch of time. I'm leaning towards OCZ, primarily on reputation alone but I'm anxious...

    Im buying an SSD.,,, Halp!

    So I've been contemplating getting an SSD for quite a while and have decided to make the plunge. I am down between two drives and would like some thoughts on them and suggestions if you guys don't care for the two I have picked. Techgage community GO...

    Borderlands 2 Announced

    I've just recently started playing Borderlands and LOVE it. As excited as I am about the second game, I am still having a love affair with this one and all it has to offer. Maybe I can time it so I get the first one and a bit of the DLC done before 2 arrives. Love me some Borderlands.

    Sony SMP-N100 Media Player Review

    Cpotts, I have a Samsung LN40C630. I'm not sure what television you have but fortunately, I can at least rewind. It's the same slow, crappy process but it doesn't take me back to the beginning of the video. Have you tried a firmware update? Again, I don't know what television you have and I...

    Fractal Design Define R3 Mid-Tower Chassis Review

    I have confirmation from Fractal Design that they will be releasing an upgrade kit for USB 3.0 for $9.99 on Newegg. Here's hoping that Newegg doesn't murder you on shipping.

    Fractal Design Define R3 Mid-Tower Chassis Review

    It's a camera effect. The edges of the case are straight as an arrow. As are the side panels.

    Fractal Design Define R3 Mid-Tower Chassis Review

    Good heads up on the AC mistake. I will ask that it be corrected. Concerning cable management, I think they did as good of a job as they could given the mid-tower size of the case. The routable holes are there in the motherboard tray but even with those, most power supplies just have an...

    Fractal Design Define R3 Mid-Tower Chassis Review

    Thank you for your kind words Kayden. The Define R3 really is a solid product and something that Fractal Design should be proud of. It's well worth the $100 asking price. My advice would be to wait and see if Newegg ever has a deal on shipping for the case because at the moment, they are...

    The Settlers 7

    Civ5 and The Settlers are their own brand of crack. The Settlers lack turns like Civ and is like you said, more of an RTS. Unlike C&C and similar games, this one is more than just building an army. There is an economy to focus on as well. I don't know how I hadn't heard of this series but I...
