When Microsoft launched its Bing search engine in 2009, it seemed few believed that Microsoft had what it took to go head-to-head with the all-mighty Google, but as it is today, Bing has experienced some major success. There was once a time when Mozilla, which is partnered with Google, suggested...

Nikon a couple of months ago announced its first "1" series compact cameras, designed to give its customers DSLR-like qualities in a point-and-shoot-like form-factor. At first glance, both the J1 and V1 in fact look like point-and-shoots, but upon using one, the gap between either or is blatant...

This is a simple question, but a good one. What is it about Apple's Safari browser that is holding it back from mass adoption? The first Windows release occurred long before Google Chrome's existence, and for all intents and purposes, both are fast, competent offerings. Yet, Chrome came out in...

Do you cheat in your online games? Do you have friends that cheat? According to a recent study conducted with the help of a few million players on Steam, chances are that if you answer "yes" to one of those questions, you'll answer "yes" to the other one as well. It seems that cheaters like to...

It be a glorious day for many people around the world, and I'm not just talking about Christmas here. A game that many have been waiting for has finally arrived, from a galaxy far far away... Star Wars: The Old Republic. The game marks a pivotal moment for BioWare as its first MMORPG, so read on...

In a bit of surprising news, it looks like CES 2012 is going to be Microsoft's last. As the company has featured its products at the last 14 and dominated the main hall next to Intel for as long as I've been attending the show, this move is an interesting one. On the official Microsoft blog...

It'd be a huge understatement to say that AMD's Radeon HD 7970 launch came out of nowhere, because we were given the card just last week and told that the embargo has been changed from January 9th to December 22. Wee. Those are not the kind of e-mails a tech writer likes to receive when so many...

Have an Android device that's quickly running out of space due to limited internal memory? Have a large collection of apps that refuse to move over to your SD card? If either of these is true, then you need to know about a simple tweak that can be done to forcibly move over many apps to your SD...

Ahh, these are always fun. What were the biggest gaming screw-ups of the year? It goes without saying that Sony's debacle is right up there, but there's a lot more - some I didn't even know about. http://games.ign.com/articles/121/1215196p1.html

Sometimes I just don't know about people. In Arab countries, Pepsi has released new imagery on its cans showing a Dubai skyline. The problem is that there are two skyscrapers and a plane. Of course, given everyone's sensitivity to 9/11, many are rasing quite a stink about this. You know, because...

Remember when those $200 tablets looked to be a great deal? Well, it seems that both Amazon and Barnes & Noble are doing all they can to lessen the attractiveness of their respective tablets, with the help of updated firmware. Amazon recently forced an update through (isn't that nice?) to all...

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's hypocrites - and right now, there's none bigger than the RIAA. The Recording Industry Association of America is a stranger to almost no one, as it's become famous not for being the backbone to the music industry at large, but for its unparalleled greed...

I don't often post about health news, but this seems a little too good to ignore. Canadian researchers have been given the go-ahead to begin testing a vaccine on humans to treat HIV/AIDS, with testing to begin on 40 HIV-positive persons next month. Following success there, another 6,600 at-risk...

At 11:00AM this morning, I decided to get on some benchmarking I had to get done. A problem arose, however. I needed to rebenchmark the GTX 580, but the one in the test machine had an after-market cooler, making it less-than-ideal for temperature testing (in a head-to-head / apples-to-apples...

Apple has secured a big win in the courts this week against HTC, with the ruling able to halt imports of HTC phones by the spring of 2012 if the offending patent violation isn't corrected. The description of the patent is a little broad, but in essence it seems to relate itself to the ability of...

Having just wrapped up its "Autumn Sale" a couple of weeks ago, it's become clear that Valve doesn't mind making it feel like sales are a regular occurrence rather than an occasional perk. I'm a bit late on posting about this, but the company launched its "Holiday Sale Gift Pile" promotion...

Think that fancy new DSLR of yours is impressive for being able to shoot photos at 12 FPS and video at about 30 FPS? Well, I'm here to rain on your parade. A team of researchers at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) have created a camera that can capture images at a trillion frames-per...

Despite the fact that securing your PC with a password is an easy way to at least try to keep your digital goods safe, many people find typing one in on each boot to be a hassle - and to be honest, so do I. But the fact remains, having no password at all is as effective in securing your data as...

The Register has dug up information that indicated that first Western Digital, and now Seagate, have instigated new year resolutions for 2012 that’s to trim hard drive warranties across the board. This isn’t the first cut in warranty periods from either vendor, and one has to wonder slightly at...
