The Atari 2600 is about as iconic as a console can get. Released in 1977, it offered cool color graphics, a massive collection of games, and believe it or not, even had online capabilities. For many reasons, the console goes down as one of the best ever released, and that means just one thing...

Sometimes, having too many windows open and the taskbar becomes squashed, can lead to some very poor word choice in titles... I'll let your imagination spin on that for a while...

Helping to round out Kepler's middle-ground, NVIDIA today has unveiled its GeForce GTX 650 and 660 graphics cards. With the 660 Ti having been released not long ago, a non-Ti version might seem a bit strange so soon, but both cards are a fair bit different. While the Ti edition edges super-close...

As I had a conversation just this week with someone about the idea of working on a tablet, this cautionary tale at PC Pro immediately caught my eye. It's a story of a school (unnamed) that adopted iPads in lieu of laptops for its staff and have come to regret it heavily. The reason is no doubt...

Ever have a friend, that during your big announcement, can't shut up about their own happenings? Well, Valve is kind of like that friend this week. While Intel, Apple, and other major players are in San Francisco unveiling their latest innovations this week, Valve keeps on giving us reason to...

Prior to the company's annual Developer Forum kick-off, a presentation was shown that gives the example of "Compute Moves to Zero" - that is, the point...

Since their release in late 2010, Rosewill's RK-9000 keyboards have proven popular among those looking to adopt a mechanical model. They're simple in design, reliable, and have been reasonably-priced - and unlike many vendors which pick and choose only one or two Cherry MX switches to use...

Among my gamer friends, there's one single word I can utter at any given time that can cause instant and very audible groans: "Ubisoft". Now, it's not because Ubisoft publishes bad games, because the reality is quite the opposite. The problem instead lays with the company's insistence on...

Depending on where you're located at the time, calling for a cab can be a true exercise in patience. You might see 10 or more empty-seated cabs pass by, just out of reach, or you may not be anywhere near an area where you could simply hop in one. For these and other reasons, apps like "Uber" are...

The delay of openSUSE 12.2 has been hard to ignore, but looking over everything that this just-released version brings to the table, it seems it hasn't been for naught. 12.2 boasts all-around performance improvements, thanks to features introduced in the 3.4 kernel and also Systemd 44. Glibc has...

The worst thing about summer is that it ends, but as we look ahead to the fall, we hold hope that there are going to be a lot of stellar games for PC released. At the very least, we have Borderlands 2 set to drop in a couple of weeks, yet another Call of Duty (Black Ops II) and even another...
