Despite the importance of keeping our personal data safe, many forego setting themselves up with a solid solution that can come to the rescue in the event of a disaster.

When a game developer hits the big leagues, there's one thing that's sure to happen - an office makeover. Some hard-ass developers might keep things traditional, but a company like Valve, which obviously has a good sense of humor and taste, it can make an office look cooler and more comfortable...

It appears that Microsoft is planning on making some branding changes in Windows 8 to help simplify things. According to The Verge, the "Windows Live" moniker that prefaced a lot of applications within Windows will be replaced with... nothing at all. Windows Live Contacts will become "People"...

Yesterday, Andrew Spinks (aka Redigit) announced his decision to stop the development of Terraria and concentrate his efforts on his family and his unborn son. The decision has caught his user base completely by surprise and chimed like an impossibly loud note on an impossibly large drum...

The moment Borderlands fans have been waiting for has arrived; the Borderlands 2 launch trailer is upon us. Don't get too excited about the term "launch" here, however, as the game isn't exactly right around the corner, but rather slated for release on September 18 in the US and the 21st...

ASUS' Transformer Prime tablet was touted as being the ultimate Android offering on the market, and overall, I'd say ASUS did an amazing job on its first go. For some users, however, there was a gaping flaw: it was locked - that is, unable to have personal firmware / ROMs flashed to it. In early...

Remember all the way back in September when we said Corsair had been working on some gaming grade peripherals? Well, a rather large box arrived today in one of our international testing labs, deep underground, and for once it wasn't a trained monkey. Under my grubby, sweaty, tech-hardened hands...

VLC, perhaps the most popular cross-platform media player, has just reached the big 2.0 (err, 2.0.0). With an interface that will look little different for regular users, most of what's new has been tackled on the back-end. Expect improved media support (as if it was poor to begin with)...
