Yeah, if you don't mind being ass-raped and pay $300/yr for a mere four months of sport!

I am just thinking about the math here. If you had a connection like that, and Steam's servers cooperated, you'd be able to download all 30GB of Max Payne 3 in 4 minutes flat. Damn.

I couldn't agree more. Even clamshell packaging can be made to open easily enough (where little sockets click together), but most companies seem to not mind making it a real - and dangerous - challenge. The most ironic packaging I've ever seen was for a box cutter I bought. It was sealed shut...

Damn, you have quite the memory. http://techgage.com/article/gigabyte_aivia_k8100_gaming_keyboard/ I can see why I included a picture of it :D And I'll be honest... judging from the YouTube video I linked, I think most people just don't know how to cut through tape that seals the box shut. A...

Just pick up the latest and greatest piece of tech? Whether it be a smartphone, notebook or really any other electronic gadget, do you ever stop and analyze how nice the packaging is? And better still, does it matter to you what the packaging looks like? Read the rest of our post and then...

The de facto measure to take whenever a company finds an infringement being made on one of their products is to send their best lawyers after the target like a pack of rabid dogs, flinging threats left and right like there's no tomorrow. Then there's Jack Daniel's, which almost makes a cease and...

I'm proud to say that I'm no longer a tablet virgin, so what better way to celebrate than to tell everyone about how magical the experience can be? Equipped with an ASUS Transformer Prime, I've customized, downloaded, read, played, tweaked, watched and even rooted, finally reaching the obvious...

Good points; I don't quite see that happening either. It's easy for Apple to keep iOS closed given its established fanbase and the fact that its the one responsible for selling all of the iOS-equipped phones in existence. Google is not likely to piss off all of the vendors that have supported...

That's the problem. You brought up a bunch of anti-Google points that had nothing to do with the discussion at hand - some would call that trolling. It's not like this thread was about Android in general, it was about a specific topic. Just... wow :D Truth hurts, I guess? I brought up the...

I do agree with that to a point. We've seen the same thing from a bunch of developers on the PC side of things, but all of those developers are still mega-successful...

If you actually read more than just the article title, you would have seen I was not talking about "open" from that angle, but rather "open" as in "freedom", and what you can do with the OS. As examples: Apple iOS Cannot install any app that you please (without rooting). Cannot set default...

Google has today formally announced its Google Fiber Internet service, causing those living in either Kansas City, MO or Kansas City, KS to jump for joy while making everyone else discover a new level of jealousy. While the initial packages themselves are priced well, it's the talk of "Gigabit"...

That'd be the death knell for Microsoft, so it's not going to happen. Desktop OSes should never be locked down, unless they're developed for a certain purpose. No one wants to be locked down at all. It might be understandable on limited-use devices like phones and tablets, but not so on the...

Oh, I understand. That's more Amazon's fault than Google's though, because it wants to lock you down to help subsidize the cheap cost of the tablet. I am sure Google's not thrilled about not being on that device. I am not that familiar with the Fire, but I assume it modifies most of the...

I do believe that the Slaughter Dome might be unique to GameStop, given it claims that. Normally, Steam will have it sown form of bonus, so it's a bit strange that it doesn't, given that the game uses Steamworks. I'm just glad this will be all available as DLC, because I don't want to miss out...

Thanks for commenting, Ben! If the tablet itself doesn't support Google Play, I'm not sure that's Google's fault per se. It might be the device manufacturer that has decided to go with their own solution or just want to avoid Google for some odd reason (a total disservice to the customer)...

Well, this is a little different. Humble Bundle, the service that regularly allows gamers to purchase great titles at set-your-own-prices, has just announced its "Humble Music Bundle". As it sounds, a handful of albums are up for grabs, and the price? Whatever you want it to be, of course...

Yes. It seems that since some parents don't know how to keep magnets away from their young ones, no one can have them. Sounds about right. http://news.slashdot.org/story/12/07/25/2131249/feds-ban-buckyballs-magnets

The thing about that is, most of the paid apps are better than their free competitors. There are of course exceptions, but in my experience, it's rare. Sometimes, the free versions are sufficient for most people, but again, there are times when the "Pro" versions add something that people want...

I just think that Microsoft is trying to pull an Apple by forcing adoption on something that no one needs. I mean, it -does- work for Apple, right? On a desktop or notebook, I don't want to use a touchscreen. It's inefficient. If I am getting work done, I don't want to take my hands off the...
