Of all the things that disgust me in life, the idea of it being okay to charge customers left right and center for every possible thing under the moon, including things they didn't ask for, ranks high on the list. Not sure what I am talking about? Look no further than the entire telco industry...

AMD this week has launched what it touts as being the fastest-ever mobile graphics processor to be released; the Radeon HD 6990M. Don't let the name fool you though, this isn't a dual-GPU part as the name would imply, but rather it's earned this top-tier name for likely being the final...

During the first half of 2011, Netflix was embroiled in a bit of controversy while at the same time had a lot to brag about. This past April, the company boasted a staggering 3.6 million subscribers gained in Q1, and then last month, the National Association of the Deaf up and sued the company...

Last month, an acquisition rumor emerged involving casual game developer PopCap, and at the time, it was Electronic Arts that got most nods as being the most probable purchaser. Well, anyone who agreed with that has been proven right, as EA today announced its plans to purchase the developer for...

When we took OCZ's Vertex 3 SSD for a spin last month, there was no other way to sum up our thoughts than 'blown-away'. How could such a drive get even better? With tweaked firmware and a doubling-up of NAND chips, of course. Let's take a look at the Vertex 3 Max IOPS edition and see if its...

Since launching its Sapphire Select Club (SSC), Sapphire has offered some cool exclusive contests for its members, but the latest might take the cake. Fancy rally racing? Love Dirt 3? Then this contest should be right up your alley. Just for being an SSC member and a Sapphire Radeon HD 6000...

It's no secret that daily lifestyle shows such as NBC's Today are rife with intellectual brilliance from both the hosts and guests, and a recent episode featuring television personality and advertising mogul Donny Deutsch is hardly an exception. During a segment that welcomes viewer questions...

In February of last year, Microsoft hit a major milestone with its Windows 7 OS - 60 million sold. That milestone was reached less than six months after its launch, and as a result, Windows 7 became the fastest-selling OS of all time. Momentum didn't slow afterwards, however, as about five...

I never thought I'd be writing about Google+, but here goes. You see, I'm not a huge fan of 'social networking', at least what I've experienced so far. It's not that I'm anti-social. In fact, I'm far from that. Upon first joining Facebook, however, I had plans to use it as a way to keep in touch...

If you've been meaning to pick up a mini-DisplayPort to HDMI cable, you may want to accelerate things and pick one up as soon as possible. The folks behind HDMI's licensing have deemed that such cables cannot be licensed, and thus shouldn't (read: can't) be sold. As a result, it's expected that...

Thanks to some console best-sellers such as Guitar Hero and Rock Band, the music genre has literally exploded with new games over the last couple of years. While many of the games that require a special peripheral exist on a console, there are still a ton of great music games available for the...

It's not often that we see a new graphics card get released that's no different than its predecessor, but with the Radeon HD 6770, that's just the case. We're already familiar with HD 5770 performance, but let's take a look at how this $140 card compares to its similarly-priced competition...

The other night, Kayden mentioned that someone asked him if a GTX 590 could be paired up with a GTX 580 (for tri-GPU), and after a bit of laughter, an idea came to mind. While such a configuration isn't possible with NVIDIA, it is possible with AMD. So, I decided to see how many fuses I could...

Apple users who've wanted to watch Blu-ray movies natively in their OS of choice have been left in the dark thanks to either licensing issues or Apple's preference to focus on its own streaming content, but any way you spin it, the deliberate lack of Blu-ray functionality sucks. Fortunately...

When I saw Deus Ex 1 and 2 on sale for $5 together at Steam earlier this week, I had to jump all over it. When the original first came out, I tried the demo and couldn't quite get into it, but with the 3rd game coming up, I felt compelled to want to go back and revisit it. Plus, TG's Senior...

When Thermaltake released its Level 10 chassis, it was unique in both its design and price-point - the latter of which kept it out of the hands of the regular enthusiast. Enter the Level 10 GT, a ~$270 variant that retains much of the aesthetic appeal of the original, but is easier to build with...

Sentey is a name you may not heard of before, but the company has been around for quite a while. It's recently been focusing on its chassis line-up, and with its full-tower Arvina, it hopes to deliver gamers and enthusiasts a feature-packed offering for around $150. Let's take a look and see if...

It's not too often that an application installer impresses me, or even manages to stand out in any real way, but the latest Autodesk software has implemented one of the best I've ever seen: Have any installers ever impressed you guys?
