    Encyclopaedia Britannica to End Print Edition; Goes 100% Digital

    When I was growing up, I had fun hauling a random volume from our encyclopedia collection from the shelf and looking through it, unsure of what I was going to read about. I am sure I'm not alone. With the advent of the Internet, however, the lustre of owning an actual encyclopedia set has...

    Damn, man. There's no such thing as "set-it-and-forget-it" with PCs, is there?

    Storing a Terabyte of data on Abacus's i mean Abacii....

    Haha, I love it when marketing departments have a good sense of humor. $1 for 1TB though? How is a service like that possible? Hard drives are not quite that cheap.

    GIGABYTE Launches North American Battlefield 3 Competition

    I'm impressed at the prizes to be honest. Usually it's just one person who gets a graphics card and another who gets one of lesser quality. It's nice to see full teams get rewarded here.

    Music money makers 2012

    Billboard has posted a top 40 list of the biggest income-makers in the music industry last year, taking only the US into account. I would have guessed Adele would place #1, but not so. Some other artists in the top 10 also took me by surprise - namely because I personally never hear about them...

    The Joys of Purchasing Content

    We live in a content-rich world, and no matter what you're in the mood for, there's always something to read, watch or play. Well, if only it was that simple. Want to game? Register it first, hope that it connects successfully to some server, pray that Games for Windows Live starts up, and then...

    NVIDIA's Kepler-based GPUs Rumored to Feature Dynamic Overclocking

    It's being rumored that NVIDIA's upcoming Kepler-based graphics cards will feature dynamic overclocking, much like Intel's 'Turbo'. On Intel's side, if a particular process needs a little more oomph, Turbo kicks in and gives certain cores a clock boost. NVIDIA's implementation will almost be a...

    GIGABYTE Launches North American Battlefield 3 Competition

    If you're what you'd consider to be an elite Battlefield 3 player, and maybe even if not, GIGABYTE's latest competition is well worth checking out. The company has opened registration to construct teams that could win some sweet prizes for placing in first, second or even third. Sure, winning...

    NVIDIA's idea of fancy drinks

    I had a couple of the drinks from the list and none of them did much for me. But I tend to prefer beer or rum+coke more than fancy drinks like those.

    A Look at ASUS' Z77 Motherboard Features

    During a meeting with ASUS last week, we were given the run-down of what we can expect to see from the company's upcoming Z77-based motherboards - and wow, is there a lot to cover. We're taking a look at features for three particular models here, including the RoG Maximus V GENE, Sabertooth Z77...

    Someone else recommended that I should have just said "Hilton", since every big city has one, haha.

    Almost missed a flight because...

    I'm in San Francisco for an event that NVIDIA's holding, and I almost didn't make the flight because... I had no idea what hotel I was staying in. That's right... something that simple. Whenever Canucks travel to the US (and perhaps it works both ways), we need to tell customs where we are...

    Linus blasts openSUSE

    I agree. openSUSE already has a seriously robust and customizable installer, so something like that shouldn't be too much to ask for.

    Linus blasts openSUSE

    This is true, but this is a policy that can be implemented by the company for a company laptop. It shouldn't just be assumed that everyone using openSUSE, which is often recommended as a beginner distro, will want to put up with it. You don't need to put in a password to do that in Windows or...

    Linus blasts openSUSE

    It's rare when I disagree with Linus, and in the case of openSUSE, he's pulling the words right out of my mouth. The way he rants about it is ridiculous though, and immature. Telling devs to kill themselves for not doing something a certain way? Give me a break. He sure does know how to stir...
