Being a rolling-release distribution, the release of a "new" Gentoo Linux DVD isn't as exciting as it is to see a new Ubuntu, Linux Mint, openSUSE and so forth. But the release of 12.0 is still notable because it allows those who have been wanting to test the distro out the ability to do so...

Well, it's not too often something like this happens. Before its official announcement (likely due to occur at next week's CES), ASUS has featured its Eee PC "Flare" netbooks on its ASUS Design website. There, it's seen that the netbook has received two awards; "Good Design" from Japan and...

Anytime we enter a new year, it's always fun to look back at the previous one to recap some of the events that occurred. As we usually do, we'll likely link back to a couple of "best of" lists this week and next that we find notable or interesting. The first good look back I've seen isn't about...

For those who like crime games, this one is well worth the cost of entry: http://store.steampowered.com/app/110800/ Sale lasts today only. Don't buy it expecting GTA-like gameplay... this game focuses a lot more on solving crimes than killing.

On the lookout for a flash drive that not only offers ample storage but also great performance? If so, Kingston's DT HyperX 3.0 is well worth a look. It's available in 64GB - 256GB flavors and offers performance of 225MB/s read and 135MB/s write. So let's take it for a spin and see how it fares...

Earlier this month, we passed along a warning that urged the overlooking of current Siri ports, as some could either risk causing issues or end up handing over mass amounts of personal information to people you don't know. Well, that worry is no longer, as Spire, a brand-new Siri port, doesn't...

GIGABYTE has admitted to a problem that exists with its X79 motherboards where extreme overclocking is concerned. Under certain circumstances, some components on the motherboard risk overheating to the point where they burn out - essentially rendering the motherboard useless. The affected models...

Web domain registrar Go Daddy came under fire last week when it was discovered that the company backed SOPA - the anti-piracy act that threatens to shut down half of the Internet if passed. After some initial fumbling, the CEO backed up a bit and said the company wasn't supporting SOPA at that...

We've talked quite a bit in the past about overpriced cables that are just needless. Most often, a $100 cable will work just as well as a $3 one, quite literally, yet many people with padded pockets continue to get suckered in. There are of course certain scenarios where a more expensive cable...

With the advent of social services like Facebook and Twitter, the idea of what's "owned" by either the service or the person has been often debated. When your former employer is behind the questioning, however, things can get really murky, really fast. Case in point: the experience of Noah...

"The Big Picture" over at Boston.com is one of my favorite places on the Internet, because some of the best pictures shot around the world are posted there. Like always, the site has published a "The Year in Pictures", this year spanning three sections. It's worth looking through if you want to...

When Intel launched its Thunderbolt connector this past spring with the help of Apple and its MacBook Pro refresh, it was difficult to tell what sort of future the technology had. Part of the reason for this was its exclusivity to Apple hardware, with no definitive release date for PCs running...

It's that time of year again where the folks over at Bit-Tech roundup the best mods of the year and pit them against each other to find the "best". I admit that I don't make it a point to go out and see what mods are being worked on, but without fail I am in awe every time I look at these...

Since Boxee's first public launch in early 2010, it has become one of the most popular choices for those looking to turn their PC into a media center. The reasons are simple: it's feature-packed, works well and has potential to rid your cable TV. But later that same year when the company teamed...

You have gotta love this. Warner Bros, a company that works its hardest to thwart piracy, has been accused of knowingly allowing a knock-off Louis Vuitton handbag to be used in the movie Hangover II: In a complaint filed Thursday in Manhattan, luxury goods maker Louis Vuitton accused Warner...
