This past October, Nokia unveiled what it touted as being the first "real Windows Phone", the Lumia series, featuring Windows Phone Mango. At the time, an unfortunate fact was that the top-end model, the Lumia 800, wasn't to be made available in North America. But a fix for that takes little...

There are sure to be many interesting products unveiled at CES this week, although things do seem to be starting off slow. The first product to catch my eye isn't ground-breaking in any real way, but it brings enough to the table to warrant a look. It's the WNDR4700 from NETGEAR, the follow-up...

I think this thing looks ugly as sin, and I'm not sure how spot-on a Bluetooth connection would be for gaming, but the iCade is an interesting product nonetheless: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5337/ion-audio-expands-icade-lineup-with-icade-core-icade-mobile-and-icade-jr

More proof that all Monster products are nonsensical. http://techcrunch.com/2012/01/09/monster-wins-ces-with-with-feathers-and-spikes/ I heard a rumor somewhere also that the company is supposed to be unveiling SSDs at the show also, but I haven't seen actual reporting on it.

Huge, feature-rich cases are nothing new, but the Cosmos II from Cooler Master becomes one of the best - if not <em>the</em> best. The company touts it as being an "ultra tower", and after shoving lots of high-end hardware into one, we'd have to agree. But despite its mega-size and plethora of...

It's been proven time and time again that a computer mouse doesn't have to look like a computer mouse - as long as it's functional. But the best-ever example of this might come from Logitech with it's just-announced "Cube". The mouse, which is certain to be shown off at CES next week, features a...

The decline of music sales is a trend that's showing no end in sight. The UK experienced a 6% drop in overall sales during 2011, and it should come as a surprise to no one that the blame is going straight to piracy. Given other recent trends, however, I feel there are many other (legal) reasons...

GELID Solutions, creators of CPU coolers, thermal paste, fans and other cooling accessories, has just entered the ultra-competitive chassis market with its DarkForce mid-tower. Part of the company's already-established GAMER line, the DarkForce's claim to fame is its focus on cooling - as...

ASUS' RoG website is reporting that overclocking superstar Shamino has hit 1700MHz on an HD 7970 - an 84% overclock. :eek: http://rog.asus.com/63422012/overclocking/shamino-hits-1700mhz-gpu-with-an-ln2d-hd-7970/

This is a quick news post, but one I'm making just in case anyone out there can help. Our good friends at SPEC are on the lookout for another company (or companies) to contribute to an upcoming workstation benchmark (likely SPECviewperf), and are in need of a workload that won't require a...

01/04/2012- Happy New Year everyone! To celebrate the holidays and welcome Thecus’s new mascot, NAStty the NAS, into the world, Thecus is throwing a Facebook competition giving away NAStty flash drives and Thecus gear. Just fill in your own (funny!) caption for the pic to be entered to win one...

I've written about many cool gadgets, pieces of PC hardware and technology in general over the course of this site's existence, but what I'm about to talk about might just be one of the coolest of them all - at least for old-school console gamers. The product is called Retrode, a small dock that...

Clementine is the best audio player on the planet (according to me), but since I don't think I've ever talked about it on the site before, I can't think of a better time to do so than right now as version 1.0 just got released. Based on Amarok 1.4, Clementine was born after Amarok 2.0 came out...

Since the introduction of the original, Cooler Master's Cosmos series has been regarded as one of the best for full-tower offerings. The chassis models are large, offer lots of cooling capability, has aesthetics to please and something that helps the models to stand apart from the rest, handles...

As odd as it might seem, no one has been as anxious to see the demise of Internet Explorer 6 than Microsoft itself. Last March, the company launched a webpage called Internet Explorer 6 Countdown that monitors the decline of IE6 usage. Microsoft's goal was to see usage dip below 1% worldwide...

The much-hyped ASUS Eee Transformer Prime might have launched later than originally planned, but it's now finding itself in the hands of consumers all over and the response has for the most part been good. That said, there have been some notable issues that prove that tablets are a tough thing...

Our digital lives have us spending a ton of time in front of screens, and sometimes eye strain can occur as a result. GUNNER Optiks has been producing glasses for some time to help counter this problem, and SteelSeries, seeing an obvious advantage for gamers, has teamed up with the company to...

So I've had this foot tall candle in the closet for a while, and rediscovered it over the weekend as I was cleaning up. I decided to burn it instead of letting it rot, so for a fun challenge, I am taking guesses as to how long it'll take to burn straight through. I'm going to light it every...

We've been talking about smartphone trends quite a bit lately, but with 2011 behind us, there's no better time to take a look at the overall growth (or losses) experienced by some companies through the year. It's of little surprise that both Apple and Google dominated the share, but it comes at...

At its release, Super Mario 64 was mind-blowing because it was the first-ever 3D Mario game, but along with that, it was also challenging. Over the years though, some people have devoted themselves to mastering the game, and here's what's likely to remain the best speedrun for a while. The guy...
