    Grand Theft Auto V to be Released in Spring 2013, for PS3 and Xbox 360

    Following a leak that spread this past weekend, Rockstar has formally announced Grand Theft Auto V's release date. It's coming in the spring of 2013, and not so surprisingly, the company's "focus" is on the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. What about PC, you ask? Well, by this point, it's become clear...

    Linus Urges Notebook Vendors to Produce 2560x1600 Models

    When Google released its Nexus 10 tablet earlier this week, we saw a continuing of an obvious trend: high-resolution displays. It all started when Apple released its iPad "3", featuring a 2048x1536 10-inch display, and was followed-up by ASUS with its Transformer Infinity TF701, sporting...

    Microsoft's SmartGlass for Android Gets Tested

    With its "SmartGlass" technology, Microsoft has proven that Nintendo can't have all the fun when it comes to game console controllers with screens.

    Amazon's not so impressed with the iPad mini

    It's hard, if not impossible, to disagree with this one: What stands out most to me is the fact that Amazon actually published the word "ballsy" :D

    Team Development at Cost Zero

    Many Web services provide open source teams with an infrastructure for collaborative development, but what if you're a small team of developers with little funding wanting to develop closed source software?

    PS2 came out 12 years ago today

    Does anyone else here have fond memories of this console? I don't have nearly as many as I did with the PS1, and I actually never even owned a PS2 (I did buy one for mom back in the day, though), but I did put in quite a bit of time into it thanks to friends...

    GTA: Vice City coming to iOS / Android

    GTA III has been available for these mobile platforms for a while, but that game never grabbed me quite like Vice City did, so I am looking forward to this. I just hope that Rockstar is able to bring all of the music over to this point, as that's one of the things that made the game so great...

    Windows 8 Review - Part One: The Things I Hate

    You've heard it here first: Microsoft is about to release a new version of Windows.

    AMD Launches First 'Vishera' FX CPUs, Includes 8-core FX-8350 at 4GHz

    Aside from the killer 'Never Settle' promotion kicked off this week to promote its Radeon GPUs, it seems that most news surrounding AMD lately bodes a sketchy (and scary) picture for its future. None of this is helped by the fact that its Bulldozer architecture, released last fall, really didn't...
