Because 8 offers some features I do want, mostly to do with the Explorer interface, I am super-tempted to upgrade. Prior to the release though, I'll install the preview and use it full-time for a bit to see if I can get used to that stupid menu. Ideally, someone will release a side-effect-free...

Haha, if I could keep a phone in my back pocket at this point, it'd have to be as thin as paper. Glad you got it fine, and look forward to your thoughts on it. I am seriously craving an Android 4+ phone to mess with, so I'm hoping to get one sooner than later.

Cloud gaming has scored a major success today, with Sony announcing that it will be acquiring leading provider Gaikai for a staggering $380 million. With that sort of value, Sony has proven that cloud gaming has a strong future, much like Netflix proved with video. The acquisition will no doubt...

Microsoft has just announced its initial upgrade pricing for Windows 8, and it's sure to turn some heads. For $39.99, you'll be able to download the upgrade regardless of whether you're using Windows XP, Vista or 7. That's right - if you have an aging XP box you want to update, you'll be able to...

OCZ is once again offering an excellent deal on one of its SSDs. This time around it's the monster 512GB Agility 4, on sale for $389.99. This is an effective $70 off, and amounts to $0.76 per GB. Remember when it was hard finding an SSD under $1.50 per GB? I love where this is going...

I used that app last summer while camping, and it is cool. Looking forward to using it again soon. So did you actually receive the phone yet? I can't tell, heh.

Well, it's happened. Google, with the help of Gmail, has become the largest provider of e-mail on the Internet, unseating previous champ Hotmail. Seeing as Hotmail first launched in 1996, and Gmail in 2004 (public in 2007), this is quite an accomplishment. Read the rest of our post and...

Long before the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP - heck, long before the original Nintendo Gameboy, there were electronic handheld games. Since technology at the time of their popularity didn't allow for screens with completely customizable graphics, these handhelds featured a static background and an...

It's no secret that that electric cars don't have to be lacking in performance, but Audi has proven it with a recent record set on the famous Nürburgring track. With its R8 e-tron, a time of 8m 9.099s was set - a new record for an electronic car. This, not long after the company's hybrid e-tron...

Creating a bootable flash drive equipped with a Windows installer or Linux distro is a simple affair today, but what about creating one with DOS? Yes, DOS. The need for such a thing can hit you when you least expect it, especially as a hardware enthusiast, but luckily, creating one is very, very...

The issue I'm talking about is a bit different. An example is telling your worker to build a farm, and after one turn, your attention gets directed to them although they are half-done building it. It happens enough where I don't believe enemies have anything to do with it (I'll have to keep out...

... and some of us get REALLY excited, such as Ryan.

A friend sent me this image, but I'm not sure where it came from. List of Worthwhile DOS Games (7MB JPG) There are so many good games on this... I just want to play 'em all.

Yeah, that's "Windows 8" in the title. If you're running both the OS and a GeForce card, give it a whirl: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=232671&st=0

Well, this is actually the first time in quite a while where a beta driver has disagreed with me. I just regret wasting an entire hour trying to get to the bottom of the issue, because if I actually read the thread of the article I linked to, I would have seen mention of the issue.

I think it was inevitable that Thermaltake would produce "watered-down" versions of the Level 10. For every Level 10 that the company would sell, it would sell 100 Level 10 GTs (I am obviously hauling this number out of my ass, but it wouldn't be far from the truth). You have to be a special...

After a far-too-long absence, religion and espionage has finally returned to Civilization, in the new Gods & Kings expansion. Along with those are many additional civs, units, buildings, wonders, a diplomatic retooling and a worthy upgrade to the city-state system. Read on as we take a look at...

Hmm, I am going to attempt the same thing! Thanks a lot for the tip :D Curious though... does that include Warhead also?
