It's been close to three years since we took a look at Cooler Master's Sentinel Advance gaming mouse, and now, we have its successor to test out. We're dealing with a much improved sensor, have more internal memory to fill, and finally get a Storm Tactics button to make use of, so let's see if...

It's stories like this that just make me shake my head: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-18715684

The e-mail account allows the OS to be fine-tuned for you, so that a bunch of information from various sources can make it feel more at home. That's not to say that I'm really too interested in it, but the idea is alright. As far as I'm aware, you can install the OS without an e-mail account...

Is physical game media soon to disappear? According to EA's Labels president Frank Gibeau, it's inevitable - at least for his company. He does state that "if customers want to buy a game at retail, they can do that too. We'll continue to deliver games in whatever media formats make sense", but...

I think it goes without saying that one of the best role-playing games ever created is Final Fantasy VII, released in 1997 for the original PlayStation. The game had it all - a fantastic story, an interesting world, memorable characters, robust battle and character mechanics and enough on the...

Scientists at CERN, home of the world's largest particle smasher, have today announced their discovery of a particle that could turn out to be the elusive Higgs boson. In physics, the Higgs boson is the last remaining piece of the puzzle according to the Standard Model - a theory as to how the...

NZXT has long been offering elegant fan controlling solutions for the PC, but where controllers in general are concerned, NZXT has had bigger plans. That's been proven with the just-launched HUE "RGB LED Controller", a 3.5" front-bay peripheral that allows you to tweak the LED lighting in your...

Whenever a seriously hyped MMO first hits the market, there's one thing we can always count on: updated graphics drivers. That's especially true when the game happens to be Funcom's The Secret World, which NVIDIA has been happily promoting leading up to its launch. NVIDIA's support this time...

While not a common task for most Windows users, compiling software under Linux isn't uncommon at all. Reasons could be that the software simply isn't designed for your distro of choice, the software isn't available in your distro's repository, or you might have hacked the code or are working on...

I guess that's a good reason to test out the preview before committing to the purchase, then. Given we're dealing with an "upgrade" here, it doesn't surprise me that the original key is purged. The smart thing on Microsoft's part would be to allow both keys, but not allow them to be activated at...

The Vertex 2 and 3 both used a similar controller, hence the continuing issues. Corsair was also plagued with the same issue due to the same controller, and had to deal with a lot of RMA'd drives. As for having to pay out-of-pocket to ship back a product that's defective due to a known bug...

Problems like those haven't only affected OCZ, that's the real problem. As for the company's customer service, this is the first case where I've heard of a problem with it (as in, never able to ultimately get a fixed drive). Couldn't you RMA once more, or are you the one that has to handle the...

I'd be surprised if there is much that isn't going to be supported in Windows 8 that is in 7. They're essentially the same OS at their core. It's why NVIDIA was able to release a WHQL driver for the OS long before the actual release date is even announced. Could it be that the Windows Vista...

With its uncoming launch of Windows 8, Microsoft will be, for the first time ever, making an ARM-based edition available. Not for consumer purchase, Windows NT will be snapped up by tablet vendors in lieu of a full-blown edition better suited for Intel processors. Weeks ago, Microsoft announced...

When Elpida filed for bankruptcy this past February, the question wasn't about if the company would be acquired, but by who. After all, when a top 3 DRAM vendor is in trouble, the other 2 aren't going to sit by idly. That's been proven today, as Micron announced that it will be acquiring the...

With the release date looming for Windows 8, I'm beginning to get a little concerned about what UEFI's "Secure Boot" is going to mean for Linux users. Up to this point, I haven't paid too much to it, so as to avoid spontaneously sucker-punching my monitor, but soon enough, ignoring it might not...

I don't care much for the ribbon either, and we should have the option to remove it (or at least make it smaller). For the most part, I can't stand that menu in Office either, but at least there, I get the occasion where seeing a visual cue or an action is helpful. To be honest, and stability...

I could see a time when the government has to step in to get rid of these bandwidth caps, for reasons like this. The fact is, we're living in a bandwidth heavy society, so caps need to become a thing of the past. That said, I can never see myself playing games this way, but the fact is, people...

Years ago, I discovered that the glasses cleaner my local eyewear place sold for $3 or so was nearly identical to window cleaner at the supermarket that contained 20x as much for the same price. Suffice to say, one's a better deal than the other. Still, it's funny how I never thought of...

The Vertex is back, and this time it features more OCZ than ever before! (No, we're not kidding.) Powered by its latest Everest 2 platform, the Vertex 4 is a completely in-house SSD that not only brings Indilinx back to the table, but very well has the potential to be the most reliable...
