*sigh* Bentley Azure. Ferrari F430. Aston Martin Rapide. Mercedes S-class. Porsche 911. All together, in a nice fender-bender. At least the paint colors are all dark! http://www.autoblog.com/2011/07/28/female-driver-causes-supercar-catastrophe-in-monte-carlo/...

While Valve's Steam platform has become famous for offering regular sales of great games at sometimes ridiculous prices, the Humble Bundle, in the sort time it's been around, has been giving both indie games some amazing exposure and gamers a right to choose the price they want to pay. It's not...

If recent arrests prove to be the start of a continuous chain, then members of Operation AntiSec and their respective Anonymous and LulzSec groups, may have reason for concern. Earlier this week, FBI agents in Nevada arrested 20-year-old Mercedes Renee Haefer for her alleged participation in...

Need proof that sufficient CPU cooling doesn't need to be expensive? The ~$45 Zalman CNPS7X LED is it. Taking after the design of the much more expensive CNPS11X, the CNPS7X uses fewer heatpipes and a smaller 92mm fan, resulting in a modest size and silence - even with a decent CPU overclock...

Although it's never been a problem in our own community (thankfully), something that I've been putting a fair amount of thought into lately is the vitriol that exists in many comment sections and forums around the Web. When you go to the supermarket, most people wouldn't feel like they are...

It almost seems inevitable that with a tragedy caused by a lone individual, video games become one of the first things sought out for blaming. In the case of Anders Behring Breivik, the man responsible for killing more than 70 people in an act of terrorism, it was he himself who gave the media...

Late last week, we posted a story that talked about fake Apple stores being a real problem in Kunming, China, and with the mass popularity the originating blog post experienced, it should have been of little surprise that something could have resulted from the exposure. Today, we learn that some...

With Linux set to celebrate its 20th anniversary next month, what better time than now to usher in a new major version number? That was Linus Torvalds' thoughts on things, and as a result of the micro version number for the 2.6 kernel becoming rather high (and somewhat comical), we're now...

In much of the world, piracy isn't just something that exists, it's a way of life. This is especially true in countries such as China (and Asia in general) where you never have to go far to find pirated software, movies, clothing, luxury goods, and even entire stores. It's true. Due to the...

Think optical media is dead? Given that we spend so much of our lives online, and are able to stream all sorts of content, from movies to games to music and beyond, it's not hard to feel that way. While there are some straggler formats, such as Blu-ray, the general consensus seems to be that...

A couple of weeks ago, we talked a bit about the difficulties indie developers endure in trying to both get published to Microsoft's Xbox Live Indie Games program and more importantly, earn sufficient revenue to both survive and build up a company. About a week after our news item was posted...

For those looking to upgrade their notebook PC with some massive storage, it's never been easier, or more affordable. While 1TB drives have existed for a little while, the selection has remained minimal, and that's even more so the case when dealing with small height offerings - those able to...

We've all heard of the 'Streisand Effect', named after American singer Barbra Streisand, where trying to keep something quiet or stopping a piece of information from getting out can only lead to even greater publicity, making the situation much worse. This wouldn't have been too common prior to...

In our first-ever look at a Rosewill product, we're taking the company's Blackhawk mid-tower chassis for a spin. It offers similar design cues to another mega-popular chassis and adds in a couple of new features to help set itself apart, so let's see if it manages to stand on its own and becomes...

For those who don't use Linux, or do use Linux but aren't aware, the audio system found within the OS is horrible. Not in quality, features or performance, but rather in configuration and execution. Since I began using Linux in 1999, and moved to it full-time in 2004, the bulk of my most...

More choices for consumers is always a good thing, and Super Talent seems to agree with that philosophy. The company has just launched its the TeraDrive CT3 SSD. Sharp readers may remember it was just a month ago that Super Talent launched the TeraDrive PT3 SSD. Both are powered by the...

Having been an MMO game player for a number of years, registering 1,000 hours to a single title in a year isn't exactly a foreign thought to me. In fact, I've been playing my primary MMO since 2002, Asheron's Call, and I'm sure my total accrued playtime is at least four times that. Ugh, that's a...

When Corsair earlier this year announced its partnership with CoolIT, it at the same time also announced a follow-up to its popular H50, the H60. At first glance, the H60 looks simpler in design to the H50, but with an entirely rethought inside, featuring a split-flow design with micro-channel...

"If you build it, they will come". Well, OCZ has built another SSD monster; say hello to the RevoDrive 3 and RevoDrive 3 X2. This third generation PCIe-based SSD boasts the highest performance ever seen yet for workstation or even desktop use. Featuring version 2.0 of OCZ’s Virtualized...

It wasn't too many years ago when a dual-core processor in a notebook seemed exotic, but today, even quad-core processors don't make anyone bat an eye. Overall, their adoption still hasn't made a major impact in the market, but according to IHS iSuppli, things will shift by 2015, at which point...
