Corsair has been taking full advantage of Computex to show off a slew of new product, but it's been the Carbide series of chassis that has most successfully grabbed my attention. Yes, more than the H80 and H100 CPU coolers, and even more than Link. Why? It's because Carbide will mark the first...

NZXT might be best-known for its chassis line-up, but over the years, the company has introduced other product lines that help gamers and enthusiasts trick out their PC to their liking. While the company has been a little limited in the cooling department, offering only fans and notebook...

At CES, Corsair talked a bit about its upcoming 'Link' hardware monitor / control peripheral, but at the ongoing Computex conference in Taipei, the company showed off actual product and has even released pricing details. At launch, set to occur in July, there will be two kits to choose from...

Furthering the idea that our smartphones should be able to do it all, Google has announced its "Wallet" mobile app that should soon become available for public consumption. Acting as a digital wallet, this app will be able to store multiple credit cards (no word on bank cards), gift cards and...

It's been over ten years since Steve Ballmer stepped into the CEO position at Microsoft, and since then, he's retained a lot of control over the company's direction. With the major success of select Windows releases, not to mention the Xbox and other Microsoft entities, it's hard to refer to...

It's not too often that someone will encourage someone else to drop out of college, and it's even rarer for someone to encourage twenty-four people to do it. Leave it to Peter Thiel, PayPal co-founder and holder of a B.A. in philosophy and J.D. in law, to be the one to do it. You can read...

NVIDIA has long claimed that its Tegra SoC could deliver the best-looking mobile games on the market, and with Madfinger's upcoming Shadowgun, there could be proof of that. Building on the success of its Samurai series, Madfinger is looking to take things to the next level with Shadowgun by...

After I posted our news item of Fedora 15's release, I got restless. I had to install it. It's been a long time since I last used the distro for something other than a quick test, so I figure I'm long overdue for a return. And because I haven't given GNOME 3.0 a single test since its release...

True to its word, Mozilla this week released an official beta version of Firefox 5, with the final build slated for release next month. Firefox 5 will mark the first release to be issued under Mozilla's revised versioning scheme, and if all goes according to plan, we should still be seeing...

Fedora, the Linux distribution that prides itself on being 100% free (as in freedom), has just seen the release of its 15th major version, codenamed "Lovelock". For regular users of the distro, there's a lot of change to take in, and for those tempted to take Fedora for a test drive, there's a...

A war is brewing. Monarchs, Lords and Nobility squabble away over fractured lands, the Mages fight amongst themselves, deception runs rife, corrupt officials, over-taxation and a world full of monsters to cast asunder - Geralt of Rivia is back, in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. You...

Google last fall announced a complement to its WebM video encoder called "WebP", destined for photos. Similar to WebM, Google looked to make WebP a much more efficient codec to JPEG - one that offers equal or better quality at a smaller file size. Since Google hosts billions of JPEGs, it's no...

Trion's commitment to the community can only be described as outstanding. In an update coming this summer to its MMO RIFT, the company will be offering players the ability to transfer their characters to a different server for free. There are a few restrictions (as always), but to offer up for...

Thanks to its ease-of-use and ability to store my RSS feeds in the "cloud", I've been a long-time user of Google's Reader aggregator, and have had little to complain about. But this past weekend, I encountered something a little unusual with the service - something that could be considered...

Long before millions of people were subjected to having their personal data stolen via a certain online network, I often wondered if there were better ways to pay for digital goods online, such as those found on Xbox Live or PlayStation Network, than to simply hand over credit card details. Of...

It has been less than two months since Intel launched its new SSD 320 series solid-state drives, but yesterday it was announced that the company would be extending the traditional three year warranty to a full five years for both current and future 320 series owners. You can read the rest...

When Intel unveiled its 'Thunderbolt' connector this past February, it seemed there were reasons to be both excited and a little disappointed. The latter was due to the fact that Thunderbolt wasn't quite the 'Light Peak' we had come to know. While offering similar functionality, it totally lacks...

At CES this past January, Kingston showed us an upcoming product that we knew had the potential to become a boon for iPad and iPhone users - a mobile hard drive with wireless capabilities. At the time, the idea and implementation impressed us enough to warrant Kingston's earning of one of our...

Yes, i'm stooping down to such a low level - a special place reserved for reality TV celebs and such, but... <iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_eyFiClAzq8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I really do feel fine.... Next stop, 2012...
