    A School Swaps Laptops for Tablets... And Regrets It

    My gripe against tablets in general have to do with their present capabilities. They are far too limited to be considered as a "PC replacement" in their present guise. The lack of an efficient interface (i.e., a keyboard for text input) is a huge negative. I've long been a cynic when it comes...

    Intel Shows Off 'NUC' PC at IDF, Makes SFFs Feel Fat

    But... but... I wanted to use my triple rad in my Fulmo GT on this!

    Play violent video games? You might handle pain better

    Unlike you, I need NO excuse to play violent video games. *continues picking off the glass and metal from my skin from the bus that ran me over

    I blame that beautiful lass Danica Patrick for all this.

    Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Review

    Cool review, Brandon! I've never played CS, but I have buddies who do, and they love it. None of them have tried CS:GO yet (as far as I know), but based on your review it looks like a good way to keep interest in the series going. If nothing else, your review's got me curious about trying CS...

    Patently Backwards

    Good piece, Brett. I'm of the opinion that using the courts as an extension of the marketplace battleground is an underhanded way of doing business. Using patent laws to protect the integrity of the creators of intellectual property is particularly onerous, in my opinion, since where do you...

    The Rebirth of PC Gaming - Bring on the Modders!

    GREAT piece. Great points, as well. As a bit of a related aside, my absolute favorite genre of games, racing sims, is vitally dependent on vibrant, active modding communities. Indeed, a sim like rFactor (and, soon, its sequel rFactor 2), is designed as a platform for modders to work their...

    Case thrown out due to it hogging storage space

    Sorry for the double post, but an addendum: After you get over the outrage you feel from the article, you can recover your balance by reading the comments after the article. Some of them are hilarious but very insightful and profound.

    Case thrown out due to it hogging storage space

    Holy crap. That is beyond ridiculous.

    Far Cry: One of those games that I really loved (still do, very much so). I might check out the other titles on that list. Thanks for sharing!

    GIGABYTE Force M9 ICE Wireless Mouse Review

    Hi Token. The battery life is pretty good, I must say. I've had the mouse for about two weeks now and I've had it on the whole time. So far the batteries are still going pretty strong. I really wanted to like the Force M9 ICE despite the button feel (I can overlook the right button...

    Aren't we all just a little sensitive?

    I blame our over-litigious modern society in part for this. Offend someone too much, and you open yourself up to the possibility of being sued for it. I'll probably get sued for that last comment...

    MSI Z77A-GD55 Motherboard Review

    This is true. On the Intel side of things (as far as I've been told, anyway - I've yet to go full-monty when OCing a SB-/IB-era chip), OCing is more dependent on the actual CPU you get. On the motherboard side, you basically just have to be concerned about the power delivery system and the...

    Windows 8 Style UI - It's Not Metro Anymore?

    As much as I'm tempted to devote more brain cells on the task of ridiculing Windows 8 and its "ex-Metro" GUI, one thing DID strike me as very odd about this whole Metro affair: The timing is very curious. For Microsoft to feel compelled to avoid possible litigation for a trademark infringement...

    Windows 8 Style UI - It's Not Metro Anymore?

    No "Metro" for Microsoft, eh? That's probably just as well. I mean, who wants a name that's synonymous to "bus" anyway? Maybe the UI should be called "Bust," given the rather vitriolic reaction many people have given the erstwhile "Metro" and Windows 8 in general.

    MSI Z77A-GD55 Motherboard Review

    Been thinking of allocating funds for an up-to-date dedicated test system (neither 890FX nor P67 are "modern," sad to say). This looks like a suitable motherboard for that purpose. Rob, did you try your hand at OCing with it?
