    Wednesday's PS3 4.30 Firmware Update to Remove Folding@home Client

    If you were starting to get the idea from Sony that it loves finding features to remove from its PS3, I think you've got it all wrong. Well, if you ignore the fact that with the next firmware update, Life and the Folding@home client will be removed. Past that, I don't think Sony goes out of its...

    XCOM: Enemy Unknown Review - Tinfoil Hats Recommended

    It's been a long time coming. Developed by the fine folks at Firaxis, XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a reimagining of the classic strategy game, but without the genre-bending tactics of other ill-fated titles.

    GOG has "pay what you want" Interplay games this weekend

    I use quotes because if you want the best collection, you'll be suckered into paying a minimum, not "what you want". Nonetheless, you can score a huge collection of classic games for cheap, or 8 for whatever you feel they're worth. http://www.gog.com/interplay

    SysAdmin Corner: 7 Network Security F-Ups Small Offices Make

    It's easy to overlook that huge corporations are far less dangerous than the small business you deal with each and every day with regards to information theft. Some institutions have treasure troves of information on you that can far exceed the "big fish". If you work in a SMB, you can't afford...

    Sleeping Dogs is $25 at Steam

    Enough said. This is one of my favorite games of the year so far, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the open-world genre and won't mind that this game strays from the proven path a little bit. Melee combat takes precedence over firearms, and it's all executed so well...

    Hover!

    Anyone else remember this from the Windows 95 days? I remember playing it quite a bit... mainly because I didn't have a ton of other games at the time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2lXPeNR3eo

    Playing the Game

    AMD's recent Trinity launch has turned a lot of heads thanks to its split NDA. Many journalists are calling "foul" due to the way it plays on our current press coverage, but Brett has a different perspective. He believes that this is not only good business, but (at least with this launch) better...

    NVIDIA Fills Up Kepler Line Even Further with GeForce GTX 650 Ti

    I have commented in the past that no other company is as thorough with regards to its current line-ups as NVIDIA, but today's launch of the company's GeForce GTX 650 Ti surprises even me. With the release of the GTX 660 and 650 weeks ago, I couldn't fathom that there was room for yet another...

    Humble eBook Bundle Launched; DRM-free Books Offered as PDF, ePub and MOBI

    In early July, the folks behind the popular Humble Bundle service strayed off the path of certainty and tried something no one was expecting: they sold music. The rules remained the same; the product was DRM-free, and it was offered to you in a common-sense format. Ultimately, this bundle failed...
