If I had to compile a personal list of favorite technologies released in the past decade, the tech behind Google Earth would be near the top. I first discovered it prior to Google acquiring Keyhole, and fell in love. To be able to scour the earth in such a manner while sitting comfortably behind...

If you're a musician aiming to reach the top of the charts, you might not want to take the same route that UK-based DJ Denver White did. White, with the help of about 10 others, allegedly used stolen credit cards to purchase his music through iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby and Tunecore. This of course...

A lot of effort goes into choosing the right parts for your newest computer, but Senior Editor Brett Thomas thinks the focus can sometimes be a bit off. In this article, he outlines where the best bang for the buck can be spent on your high-performance rig... and believe it or not, it might not...

Hot on the heels of its Lightroom 4.0 launch, Adobe has released the first public beta of Photoshop CS6. As expected, there are many features coming to CS6, though only a few are documented by Adobe at this time. "Content-Aware Patch" seems to be the most talked-about, a major update to...

NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 680 is here. Based on Kepler, it's an interesting beast. It features a reworked architecture, is produced on a 28nm process, introduces things like GPU Boost, Adaptive VSync and TXAA, has a redesigned cooler, and perhaps most important of all, aims to perform better than the...

Are you a World of Warcraft player? Are you a World of Warcraft player who spontaneously twitches when not in front of the game? If you answered "yes" to either of those, and especially the latter, good news: it seems hopeful that Blizzard will be bringing World of Warcraft to the iPhone. Well...

A couple of years ago, a company by the name of Eurocom caught my attention. It might have had something to do with the fact that the folks there threw 4x OCZ Vertex 480GB 2 SSDs into a notebook... I'm not sure. Nonetheless, the company is always at the ready to deliver the highest-performing...

The way I see it, in our testbed which featured a much larger CPU (150W vs. 65W), and one that featured much more RAM and even a discrete audio card, we topped out at 280W using a stress-testing tool that pushes the CPU and GPU to the limits. I am not sure if PSU rails will have to be accounted...

Weird, I've never gotten a friendship request there from anyone I don't know. That aside, 10,000 hours in Second Life definitely means you don't have a first life.

Synology has today released the latest iteration of its business-oriented DS400+ NAS series, the DS412+. The most-touted feature isn't with the performance, but rather the chassis. Realizing that while some might not mind seeing drive bays exposed, others would rather cover them up, Synology...

Need a lot of storage on the go, but don't want to lug around a heavy enclosure? Western Digital's latest 'My Passport' drives are just what you're looking for. Not only are they trendy and durable, the series is the first-ever to offer a 2TB model. Yes, we're talking a product not much larger...

A couple of weeks ago, I posted about comedian Jim Gaffigan's plans to release his next special DRM-free and for just $5, a la Louis CK. Today, we find out that another comedian, Aziz Ansari, has decided to take the same route. His special is called Dangerously Delicious, and was filmed at some...

It seems that all GPU vendors want to have their own GPU tweaking / monitoring tool, with ASUS being the latest to hop on the bandwagon. With its "GPU Tweak" utility, the company claims that it's delivering the most feature-packed, customizable and comprehensive tuning utility in the market...

I'm sure it's clear by now, but we have two minds about DLC at Techgage. In some cases, DLC might offer some real value, but other times it can feel like nothing more than a nickel & dime scheme. In fact, I wrote an article calling it just that a couple of years ago. Some comparisons for "good"...

After Apple posted its best-ever quarter this past January, many wondered what the company would do with the sheer amount of cash it has in the bank. With the $13.06 billion in profited that quarter, the company reached $97.6 billion in the bank, a staggering number to say the least. Many...

I was never familiar with this company aside from seeing their commercials all the time on CNN, I believe it was. Turns out to be a very scammy company. http://money.cnn.com/2012/03/19/news/companies/taxmasters-bankruptcy/index.htm

Weeks ago, an image floated around the Internet of a rumored handheld device, a la Nintendo DS or PSP Vita, that would give mobile gamers access to the best games ever to hit the old Neo Geo AES console. Yes, we're talking Metal Slug, Fatal Fury and of course, The King of Fighters. Well, while...

NVIDIA has teamed up with various mobile-related websites to help offer up a whack of ASUS Transformer Prime tablets for grabs. http://www.tegrazone.com/news/fourplusonecontest

Same here. I was never into these games at all, but I'd like to see what all the fuss is about.

That's exactly it. It can also go in the opposite direction to my knowledge, to underclock when a game simply cannot take advantage of the extra power. Also, the auto-overclocking wouldn't touch the voltage... the speed it can hit would be validated by NVIDIA for all 680's.
