Here's some interesting numbers to mull over; Valve's digital distribution arm, Steam, was estimated to bring in just shy of $1 billion in revenue during 2010. Steam officially doesn't release sales figures, so these can be taken with a pinch of salt, but the numbers are impressive non-the-less...

With the Super Bowl just around the corner, how could we not give readers a little technology related NFL news? Whether you love it or hate it, there is no denying that Apple's iPad has been hugely successful in a variety of scenarios. So much so that NFL teams are starting to take notice and...

You don't have to be a member of Flickr to experience the pain off of this one! Mirco Wilhelm, a devout Flickr user that has in total uploaded over 4,000 photos to the site, sent in a complaint to customer service about another user that was breaking the rules (publishing stolen photos). The...

For those seeking out a brand-new flat-screen TV, early January may seem like the best time of year to purchase, but not so. Instead, it seems like the best time of year to purchase a TV is right before, or after, the Super Bowl. Seems a bit silly, but when you look at the facts, it does seem to...

Epic games has been busy with the marketing for its new game, Bulletstorm. They made this wonderful parody of Call of Duty called 'Duty Calls'. There are just so many little elements in it that you need to watch it a couple times to spot them. <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640"...

It's not too often that a company such as Google will speak quite bluntly about the poor business practices of its competitors, but in this particular case, it might have had good reason to. In its research, it has found that Microsoft's Bing search engine has been ripping off its results, and...

On the PC, gamers are all too used to draconian DRM schemes, but believe it or not - console gamers are not devoid of it either. It could be imagined that there are no such DRM schemes on a console that could cause a real headache for gamers, but that's not true. With the advent of downloadable...

After news of a design flaw found by Intel in its 6-series chipset spread like wildfire, motherboard manufacturers are starting to issue press releases with information on what consumers can do if they have an affected board. You can read the rest of our post and discuss here.

So with the first month of the year gone, leaving me clueless as to where it went, lets have a look at how the Internet browser market is fairing. The big news would be that Chrome has finally broken the double digit barrier at 10.7% market share, up from 9.98% in December. This is largely due...

In what might come as a surprise to no one, Amazon earlier this week announced that ebook sales on its site are outselling hardcovers, and it's expected that in the second quarter, they'll also outsell paperbacks. If you're not impressed by this, your opinion might change when I tell you that...

So I saw this in passing, can't help but agree... free ride, QTEs and casual games... not saying it's all bad but some of the magic has gone from modern games. http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=280

In computing, backing up our data on a regular basis should be like second nature, but for most, it's never even a thought. That is, until something catastrophic happens and we end up losing important data, and lots of it. On a desktop PC, backing up is simple, but on a mobile, it's a little...

Thortech, a company that has been in the industry for 15 years but few may have heard of, announced the launch of their new Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt Plus series power supplies. Each carries an 80Plus Gold certification meaning increased efficiency, modular connections, a 135mm fan, support...

Once in a while, a game comes along that holds so much promise but ends up falling flat on its face. The most recent game that comes to mind that fell the hardest would have to be Realtime Worlds' 2010 release, APB: All Points Bulletin. The initial buzz about this "GTA IV MMO" was huge and I...

Aside from the obvious mass of geeks, one stature at Linux conferences all over the world is the man who invented the Linux kernel over 20 years ago, Linus Torvalds. At the recent Linux.conf.au 2011 conference held in Brisbane, OMG! Ubuntu! caught up with Linus to barrage him with some...

So we were expecting the Playstation Portable 2 (PSP2), instead we get the Next Generation Portable or NGP - It's still a code-name for the time being, but here it is, Sony's next foray into the the portable gaming world. Most of the important details have been released at Sony's Tokyo trade...

So I'm a little (very) cynical when it comes to '3D' or Stereoscopic, since, well, it's not actually 3D, but an optical illusion to provide the appearance of spacial depth. It's grossly expensive to purchase the equipment, limited content, most varieties require the use of rather goofy glasses...

This past fall, members of the development team for OpenOffice.org left their posts and moved on over to a group called "The Document Foundation" to create a similar project, called LibreOffice. The move happened as a result of Oracle Corporation's buyout of Sun Microsystems, and since Oracle...

In an interesting announcement coming out of left field, Intel names megastar recording artist will.i.am as the company's "Director of Creative Innovation". For the next couple of years, will.i.am is acting as an official Intel employee to help the company further its "compute continuum" vision...
