Sure, first the CPU usage thread and this one. I'm all over the place. While getting things prepped for our upcoming CPU suite update, I decided to rip our Adobe discs to the PC as .iso for the sake of convenience, and I was a little surprised to see what publisher information was embedded on...

I have never seen a CPU exhibit such random usage as mine did while running a certain benchmark: Oddly, such sporadic behavior even caused my music to sound corrupted a little bit while listening to it. As soon as this particular test finished, it went back to normal.

Rockstar Games announced Grand Theft Auto V last week (albeit subtly), and as promised, the first official trailer for the game has been released today. There's no mention of a release date, and still no mention of supported platforms, but for any fan of the series, especially those who enjoyed...

We're a bit late on posting this, but a brand-new Humble Bundle kicked off a couple of days ago, and so far it's off to a great start. Much like the previous bundle, this one features a single overarching game, Voxatron, but since publishing, two other games have been added to reward those who...

Released in 2009, Trine> offered a unique platforming experience, a colorful world, and progression that made it feel like you were really playing through a storybook. With Trine 2, the game introduces a new engine, improved audio and graphics, even more puzzles and best of all, a much-requested...

In a bit of not-so-surprising news, rumor has it that Apple is mulling the idea of pulling the plug on its high-end desktop Mac Pro line, leaving just the Mac mini and iMac to choose from. As Mac Pros have long been the go-to computer for professionals working with OS X, a discontinuation of the...

It's not like there was ever any doubt, but Battlefield 3 sold well in its first week. Very well, in fact. How does 5 million units sound? With those sales, Battlefield 3 becomes the fastest-selling EA game in history, and with a total of over 10 million copies shipped, it's on track to break...

Halloween is known for its dark colors, copious amounts of candy and of course, lots of decorations. So what better time would there have been than yesterday for Google to unveil is revamped Google Reader, which is about as minimalist as it gets, with more white than the Google homepage...

No one likes to be treated as a number, but let's throw that convention out the window for a moment (just be sure to clean it up off the street later) to take a look at a simple but interesting tool that BBC launched on its website to celebrate the 7 billionth person on earth, which will occur...

With the advent of the social network, personal security has become a more important topic than ever. If you are to ask the folks at Facebook about their security measures, they'd quickly tell you that they're all good. But just how good? The company last week revealed some numbers that seem...

With the recent passing of Steve Jobs, "innovator" has been a title thrown around a lot. It's for good reason, as Steve was one of the best. As of late, however, it seems that most of what's truly interesting or intriguing to come out of Apple has been the result of acquisitions. Take Siri, the...

When visiting trade shows such as CES, we're often exposed to what I like to call "pre-fads" - that is, things that are obvious to become fads as soon as mass-production occurs. We saw it with '3D' TVs, OLED screens, netbooks, tablets and so forth. There's one piece of tech that we've seen time...

Self-contained liquid CPU coolers have become a dime-a-dozen (figuratively, of course), but it's still not often when we see a chassis released with liquid cooling built-in. We're taking a look at one such option here, from Ikonik. So let's see what the Ra2000 Liquid is made off, and see if it...

The good folks at GOG.com are following in Steam's footsteps and holding their own Halloween sale this weekend. It also features some spooky classics, but due to the overall limited selection of GOG's service to begin with (compared to Steam), the selection is limited to only 12 titles. But what...

A couple of weeks ago, we linked to an in-depth look of the Task Manager in Windows 8 at the official development blog, and this week, the team followed-up to talk a bit more about monitoring your desktop or server with it. While the Task Manager has seemed sufficient in recent Windows...

At its annual tech summit held a couple of weeks ago, ASUS talked in great detail about what's coming to its X79 mobo line-up. Certain NDA's have not yet lifted, but we can talk about a few of the new things ASUS is introducing, and also take an early look at four of the company's X79...

We talked just earlier this week about the sale events that Valve has become well-known for with its Steam platform, so what better time to see another one kick off? You have Halloween to thank this time around, with a huge assortment of "spooky" games to choose from - including the...

Nintendo was once a company that seemed to generate huge revenue regardless of what it did, but with its latest financial report showing a loss of $923 million USD for the first half of the company's fiscal year, it looks like things have begun to change. Nintendo cites the strong Yen and the...

It's no secret that people like Zombies in their games, given the prevalence of all the games and respective DLC packs out there, but did you ever expect a train simulator to get a Zombie DLC? If you say "yes", you're lying! http://store.steampowered.com/app/65235/
