When we previously reviewed Kingston’s HyperX SSD, we found it to be a premium model, offering not only the best performance we had seen from a SF-2281 powered SSD but also one of the best track records in regards to stability. Even several months later we consider the HyperX to be one of the...

For tech enthusiasts, a 1024x768 resolution is something of history - one that most of us likely used 10 years ago. But believe it or not, until recently that resolution was still the most used on the Internet, only now finally being surpassed by 1366x768. In checking our own stats, 1024x768...

After reading through Jamie's review of Corsair's Vengeance K60 mechanical keyboard, I knew that I had to finally upgrade from a standard model to one that made the clickity-clack noise. Soon after, Cooler Master shot us over a sample of its QuickFire Pro and upcoming Trigger keyboards, so I...

Gamers from yonder years may still recall quite a few companies that offered lifetime warranties on graphics cards (in some cases, double-lifetime), but everyone knows such agreements have become harder and harder to find as companies either exited the business or changed their warranty terms to...

About a month ago, my PC stopped being discoverable on the network. I couldn't connect to it via my phone or another PC. When I use the troubleshooting option in Windows, I get this error: More than one device is performing network address translation (NAT). What's causing this? I have...

Where operating systems are concerned, it could be argued that Linux offers more "choice" than any other. There exist so many different distributions, that the challenge is finding the one perfectly suited for you. I will go out on a limb, though, and say that if there's anything more...

Own a social networking service that has a lot of users but generates no revenue? Some might think that there'd be little hope in a sale, but Facebook's most recent purchase proves that the unlikely can happen. The company just paid a cool $1 billion for photo sharing / editing service...

I watch a weekly podcast called Linux Action Show, and it's rather good. On April 1, they posted a show called Windows Action Show instead, and it's quite hilarious overall, if you have a good sense of humor and don't mind a few subtle (sometimes) jabs against Windows...

Something I've come to surmise over the past week is that there are few maladies as frustrating as a bad toothache. I am about as stubborn as they come when it comes to seeing a doctor or a dentist (you could say it's like pulling teeth), but I'm being forced to. I've tried different pills, to...

For serious PC builders, LED fans are sometimes a non-option. It's not because LED lights are tacky, but because usually there's a trade-off in performance being made. Companies that tend to create LED fans don't always focus on performance or endurance to the level that enthusiasts would like...

With Intel's first 'Knights Corner' products expected to hit the channel in late 2012, NVIDIA's CTO Steve Scott has taken the opportunity to call Intel out on some of its claims. The biggest one being targeted is that code won't have to be "ported" to operate on Knights Corner, based on the fact...

Enough said.

As hard as it might be to believe, Microsoft's Xbox 360 launched a staggering 6.5 years ago, and its follow-up isn't expected to release until late 2013. Given the huge amount of time in between these releases, one would expect that the "Xbox 720" would be far more powerful and capable than its...

We posted a story last week that questioned whether or not the iPad 2 was better than the third-generation iPad, with heat and battery concerns topping the reasons. Consumer Reports was one publication to jump on the latest iPad for heat issues, and it found that on average, certain areas of the...

That question might be needless, because I'd like to think the universal answer would be, "without a doubt". Growing up, April Fools' was all about pulling fun pranks on family members or friends. Making the entire experience a lot better, few people would actually clue in quick enough to what...

When Corsair releases a new product line, it's never for a "me too" reason. Instead, the company clearly strives to deliver interesting products that people, especially gamers, crave. The Vengeance line-up of keyboards and mice is no exception, and we're kicking off our coverage of them with the...

The term "free-to-play" has become hugely popular in recent years, and Steam even has an entire category dedicated to it. But while the term itself seems self-explanatory, there are some games that prove that not all F2P titles are alike. In the worst cases, such as with one of Rob's favorite...

By now, it should be a secret to no one that whenever you post something online, it's there to stay. Never has this fact been clearer than with the advent of social networking sites, such as Facebook. There have been many stories over the years where people have lost their jobs because of things...

Jack White owns a record label. Said record label just celebrated its third anniversary. To mark the occasion, those who attended the celebration left with a record... but not just any record. No, this one includes 24 or so songs, and is designed to spin at just 3 RPM...

Where mobile devices are concerned, I am sure there are few people that believe "bigger is better". But there do exist occasions where newer is not always better. According to tech analyst Rob Enderle, Apple's latest iPad is a perfect example of this. On the surface, the third-generation iPad...
