Anand recorded a video with ASUS brainiac JJ to talk about Ivy Bridge. It's rather thorough and things are covered that most people won't care about, but it's informative nonetheless (so I've heard, I've yet to take a gander). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOrUyVbNDO4 I'm always in awe...

Anyone who has ever played THPS 3 probably holds this level close to their gaming heart. It was mega-challenging, exciting, and well, who doesn't want to skate through an airport? I am not sure I'd want to even know how many hours I spent in this level to be honest... on each console I played...

Well, at least if that dentist happens to be your dentist. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/dentist-pulls-her-ex-boyfriend-teeth-split-210829769.html "A Polish woman is facing three years in prison after she removed all of her ex-boyfriend's teeth during dental surgery just days after...

Corsair impressed us greatly when we took its K60 mechanical keyboard for a test last month, so we were anxious to see if we'd once again be wowed with its M60 "FPS gaming mouse". From a hardware standpoint, the mouse is top-notch, but as we quickly discovered, it takes quality software to round...

The wait for the next proper Ridge Racer title has been long, but Unbounded is finally here, and it brings a surprise: it's also for the PC. In this iteration, we're to conquer races in Shatter Bay, build our own tracks, and compete with others online. Oh - and to act like a hurricane to wreck...

So, it seems like Max Payne 3 is going to require a staggering 35GB of hard drive space. And taking things even further, it can supposedly take advantage of up to 16GB of RAM. Damn...

One of the longest-running and most rampant rumors surrounding Linux in the past couple of years is that Valve has been making a Steam client for the platform. Up to this point, there's never been solid evidence of it happening, and a couple of years ago, Valve head Gabe Newell just came out...

Intel this week has launched its long-awaited Ivy Bridge processors, ushering in both 22nm and tri-gate era. As the third-generation Core product, it'd be expected that some nice features would be present and performance improved, and that's just what we got. While performance improvements are...

Some of these are good. Oddly, I find the first 15 or so to be the best, with the latter half being kind of "meh". http://www.cracked.com/photoplasty_352_27-small-but-disastrous-changes-to-famous-video-games_p27/

If you're running an AMD Radeon HD 2000, 3000 or 4000 series graphics card, listen up. AMD has just announced that driver support for those series will be moving to a quarterly cycle, beginning with the May 2012 release. Current-gen cards (5000, 6000 and 7000) will continue to receive driver...

Online storage services are a dime a dozen, so whenever a company finally decides to toss its hat into the ring, it's usually hard to get excited about. Of course, things change a bit when that company is Google. After all, millions are already heavily invested in the company's many other...

On Monday Intel unveiled its new 330 Series model of SSDs, but not all is as it seems. First, the 330 Series is not actually a replacement for the current 320 Series. Instead, the 330 is intended to act as Intel's new budget friendly model, for reasons we will delve into below. Secondly, unlike...

Microsoft this week has announced four editions of Windows 8 that we can expect to see at launch. These include the standard "Windows 8", "Windows 8 Pro", "Windows 8 Enterprise" and "Windows 8 RT" - the latter of which is designed to be pre-installed, and only on ARM devices. There's no mention...

NVIDIA shot us over an e-mail this morning to point our attention to a teaser pic that was posted to its GeForce Facebook fan page. The picture is dark, has low detail even when the brightness is cranked up, and at this point, could be anything. Is it a dual-GPU (a la GTX 690)? Is it a laptop...

As we discovered in our review, Cooler Master's QuickFire Rapid mechanical keyboard is a good one. But, it lacked a couple of things that some gamers (like me) demand. Such things include backlighting, a numpad, and in rarer cases, N-key rollover support. All of these things can be found on the...

By now, the benefits that an SSD can bring to a computer are hardly unknown, but we still haven't reached a point where everyone is ready to equip their PC with one. When talking to potential buyers, the most common complaint I hear relates to the lack of storage space - a real concern for those...

For some, overclocking is more than just fun... it's an art. And to excel at this art, unconventional tricks must be used in order to obtain the best benchmarking scores possible and leave the competition in the dust. One such trick is to adjust GPU clocks on-the-fly, depending on the particular...

If you consider Google Earth to be a useful tool, then imagine how the man who found his long-lost mother via the service feels about it. Saroo Brierley, at age five, got separated from his brother when he fell asleep at a train station in India. After hopping on a train in hopes of finding him...

With the next version of Visual Studio soon to be upon us, we're taking a look at what's worth waiting for. While some animosity exists around certain decisions made by Microsoft, VS11 brings a lot to the table, most notably the addition of a robust environment for creating Metro-based apps...
