Even though I prefer Linux as an OS, I generally look forward to each new Windows release given that I have to use it for a lot of things. For the most part, I love Windows 7, especially after the Vista debacle. Its release helped assure me that Microsoft learned from its lesson and I had a...

Over the years, I've read statements on illegal downloading from members of various bands, and opinions seem to be all over the place. Some bands just don't seem to care (Chumbawumba) and then there are bands that care a lot (Metallica). From the listener POV, I've seen a wide gamut of...

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ: YHOO) today announced that the Board of Directors has named Fred Amoroso as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Ross Levinsohn as interim Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. The Company also announced that its Board has reached an...

A member at Bit-Tech has asbestos poisoning, which has left him with 40% lung capacity. As anyone with a serious health condition can attest, the government isn't exactly too speedy with getting him money he needs. So, a bunch of people chipped in for the build, and pro modders helped build it...

Hot on the heels of the news that NVIDIA just became TSMC's most important customer, AMD has shot out an e-mail that reiterates the company's thoughts on its current market position. In it, the company states, "The AMD Radeon HD 7970 is available for as low as $479, while the AMD Radeon HD 7950...

"Number two is raw performance. The thing that separates consoles from FarmVille is the fact that consoles define the high-end gaming experience. When you look for the best graphics available in the whole game industry today, you look at Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and those games are the best...

It's been no secret that TSMC has been cursed in the move to 28nm, and it's been even less of a secret that some of its clients aren't too pleased about it. Most notable has been NVIDIA, which just released its first 28nm graphics cards, and has more in store for a summer release. There's been...

For fans of Portal 2, the amount of DLC released so far has been a little lackluster. The first piece was "Peer Review", released this past fall. It offered up additional co-op missions and a challenge mode. For single-player gamers or those who wanted to create their own levels, it could be...

Can't beat a deal like this, unless Valve started paying you to play: http://store.steampowered.com/app/620/

Wow... http://uk.hardware.info/reviews/2614/393-8092120140mm-case-fans-reviewed I would have hated to be the one in charge of THAT article :D

Adobe's Lightroom 4 has been available for a couple of months now, and our very own shoot-a-holic Brett Thomas has been using it regularly since its release. The company has been touting much with the program's latest iteration, so join us as we explore whether it's worth upgrading to or if it's...

Want to play your Sega Dreamcast games but don't want to haul the console out of the closet? You're in luck, because there exists an outstanding emulator that I recently became addicted to: nullDC. This article covers all you need to know about it, including how to get started. So what are you...

After taking a look at Cooler Master's QuickFire Pro keyboard last month, we walked away knowing that the company knows how to make a quality mechanical offering. Will the Trigger reaffirm that belief? It adds macro support, a palmrest and expands the backlighting to the entire keyboard - so it...

Enough said... this is a nice package *drool* EVGA Announces the EVGA GeForce GTX 690 May 3, 2012 - The GeForce GTX 690 is NVIDIA's fastest graphics card ever. It combines the groundbreaking new GeForce architecture with raw dual-GPU power to provide truly game-changing performance. Get...

One of the most popular targets for emulation developers has been the original NES, or "Nintendo Entertainment System". Throughout the years, I've used most of these, beginning with Nesticle over 10 years ago. There have been some good, some alright, and then some that put a new spin on things...

Last week, we posted about a teaser shot that NVIDIA put on its GeForce Facebook fan page with just enough detail to get the speculation train moving. One of the most popular guesses was that it was the upcoming dual-GPU GTX 690, and sure enough, that was right on the money. Due for release...

As much as I anticipate upcoming blockbusters, there's nothing in gaming that gets me quite as excited as reliving old classics... the games I grew up with and sunk a lot of time into. I recently stumbled-upon a good Sega Dreamcast emulator (I will be doing a write-up soon), and I got to...

I admit that I am not 100% sure how the auction house in Diablo III is going to work, but it seems if a player wants to sell a regular item to another player, Blizzard will take $1 from the sale. For things like stackable items, that fee rises a bit to 15% of the total sale...

Alright, not quite, but it seems that the social networking is pushing hard to get more people to consider donating their organs, in case the need arises. If interested, you'll be able to opt into being an organ donor, and also have that fact displayed on your Timeline. Very interesting move by...

I admit I am a little excited about this release, just because it's an LTS release (long-term support). LTS basically means that the OS has to be as stable as possible, and with the Unity desktop environment never impressing me that much in the past, I'm really anxious to get to testing this...
