Micron Technology's Board of Directors has released a statement announcing the death of the company's CEO, Steven Appleton. Mr. Appleton, 51, died earlier today as the result of a crash in a small plane in Boise, Idaho - the city where Micron's headquarters is located. The statement is brief...

Futuremark is well known in the gaming community, but not for its games. Better known for its benchmarks such as 3D Mark, it's proving itself capable of more than just synthetic tests. Shattered Horizons was its first foray into making games back in 2009. Keeping the space theme but moving back...

I'm sure it'd come as a surprise to almost no one that a countless number of Facebook profiles are fake, but to help put things into perspective, the folks over at Barracuda Networks did some research to see just how bad the problem has become. The company has also put together a simple...

A popular trend happening with MMO gaming today is to either launch a title as free-to-play (F2P) from the get go, and to transition a failing pay-to-play into a free-to-play one. The latter fate struck one of my favorite MMORPGs this past December, Lineage II, and it's certainly not alone. In...

If you’re presently looking to buy an SSD, Newegg and Intel are running a promotion that is sure to clear out some inventory. For two more days Newegg is selling the Intel 320 Series 80GB SSD for just $70 with free shipping, after a $50 mail-in rebate. Read the rest of our-- oh screw it...

If there's no SSD installed in your current rig, I have a simple question. Why? When SSDs first launched a couple of years ago, everyone shared the same reason: pricing. A 64GB SSD for $500 was less-than-ideal, and add on the uncertainty of a brand-new technology... it's easy to see why most...

Insane. It's time to add Egypt to the list that Argentina and Italy pretty-well dominate: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-16845841 Death toll might end up being far worse given that double the above number were hurt.

The folks behind Humble Bundle have just released a new collection of games up for grabs (err... for cheaper prices), and this time there's a twist. In addition to the Windows, Mac OS X and Linux support we've come to expect, Android has been added on as an additional platform this time around...

I am not familiar with this show at all, but this still struck me as epically awesome: <object id="ch6701398" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://0.static.collegehumor.cvcdn.com/moogaloop/moogaloop.internal.swf?clip_id=6701398&use_node_id=true&fullscreen=1" width="600"...

Through its official Office blog, Microsoft has announced that a "technical preview" version of Office 15 has just been released, an important milestone in its development process. Unlike the developer preview for Windows 8, the one for Office 15 isn't available to the public, but is instead...

AMD has today followed-up to its Radeon HD 7970 launch this past December with an option that slots in right beside NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 580, price-wise. With an SRP of $500, the Radeon HD 7950 isn't inexpensive, but it's not meant to be. More often than not, it clearly wins in benchmarks when...

Apple last week posted its most impressive revenue statement to date, and with it came renewed calls for a boycott of the company's products. The reason I'm sure will come as no surprise. Foxconn has been in the news many times over the past year or so due to its abnormally high rate of employee...

Intel quietly rolled out 7 new processor models this past weekend, 3 belonging to the desktop Core i5 family and 4 belonging to the mobile Celeron family. With this launch also comes Intel's first "P" models (E, K, S and T weren't enough, it seems!), which simply denotes that the processor does...

Writing a book? Not sure whether to go the publisher vs. self-publish route? Don't know the benefits of either? James Altucher, an author who's dabbled a bit in both, has written a great article over at TechCrunch that can help clear a lot up before making your decision. While the focus of the...

When I first learned of Nintendo naming its current-gen console the "Wii", I did a quadruple take. I then had to look at the calendar and make sure that it wasn't April 1. When that wasn't the case, I figured Wii was just a codename- because no company would be that foolish to name their product...

For as long as Facebook has existed, so has the rumor that the company is about to go public. Late last week, the Wall Street Journal topped off this rumor by saying that it could happen as early as this coming Wednesday, with Morgan Stanley acting as the underwriter. The company is currently...

Think that the Web is equal for all? Not quite. While countries with great access to the Internet move towards creating content-heavy websites and services that require ever faster connections, there exists even more countries that would simply like a stable and reliable Internet connection to...
