I can think of few things that are less exciting than installing an OS, and the tedium is only increased when you have a handful of considerations to make. Did I back up my data? Do I need to repartition? Should I run the installer from within Windows or boot up with it? Should I do an upgrade...

With Adobe's recent decision to halt the development of its Flash mobile variant, the company essentially told the world that the future of the Web is not with Flash, but rather HTML5. While the company will continue to develop Flash on the desktop, mobile devices have to be considered. Without...

When Apple released OS X 10.7 'Lion' this past summer, I didn't consider it to be a 'major' release as the company was touting. There was, however, a rather significant feature that I somehow completely missed: the ability to run OS X in a virtual machine. If you're a Windows or Linux user...

It's almost ironic that it would take the desire to create an MMO for the last survivor of the city-builder genre to come to life. The latest incarnation of that survivor is Cities XL 2012. It's not an MMO, but rather a traditional city-builder sim that tries to cater to old-school SimCity fans...

It used to be that there were only a few digital game stores to choose from, but today, that's obviously not the case. In fact, there are so many of these services out there today, that it's difficult for any one of them to separate themselves from the rest. Of them all, though, GOG.com has done...

With the launch of its "Desmo" eyewear just over a month ago, it became evident that SteelSeries didn't want to stop at just making keyboards and mice. Today, that fact is further proven with the release of the company's SRW-S1 steering wheel, designed in conjunction with the folks behind the...

Jumping on the digital music store bandwagon, Google has finally unveiled its hopeful iTune-killer, simply called Google Music. The company launched a beta for the service earlier this year that allowed its users to upload up to 20,000 songs to the cloud for free, and now that the service is out...

With its recent decision to remain in the PC business, HP proves today that it hasn't been resting over the course of the past few months. The company just announced some interesting notebook models, but perhaps the most noteworthy is the Folio 'Ultrabook' that breaks away a bit from tradition...

At Techgage, we deal a lot with product specs. Gigabytes, RPMs, DPI, resolution, IOPS, megahertz, cores, bits and so on. For a lot of people, these things matter. A 7200 RPM hard drive is going to perform better than a 5400 RPM one, and a CPU with 6 cores is likely to be more capable than one...

This will likely come as a surprise to no one, but according to a recent survey performed by PriceGrabber, a vast majority of consumers this holiday season would rather receive a tablet as a gift than a laptop. Details of the survey also reveal that the iPad will still be the tablet to get...

To help celebrate the launch of its Sandy Bridge-E processors and X79 Express chipset, Intel is holding a contest called '32-in-32' where you have a chance to win the ultimate Intel enthusiast PC. Oh, and I should mention that you'd be flown straight to Newegg's headquarters to handpick your...

There are many gaming mice on the market that sell for well over $60, but Logitech delivers an option at a mere $40 that it believes will cater to a huge number of gamers out there. It features a small, light design, a total of nine completely configurable buttons, a 2500 DPI sensor...

No CPU architecture launch from either AMD or Intel is ever left devoid of memory kits designed for the respective platform, and the launch of Intel's X79 Express chipset and Sandy Bridge-E processors is no exception. Both Corsair and Kingston have unveiled a bevvy of quad-channel kits today...

Futuremark has today announced the next version of its 3DMark benchmark, tentatively titled, "3DMark for Windows 8". At this time, specific details are scarce, and as the benchmark isn't slated to launch until after Windows 8, that's to be expected. The reason Futuremark wanted to get the word...
