    OCZ RevoDrive Hybrid PCIe Hybrid SSD Review

    SSDs are expensive and often don't offer enough capacity to meet user needs. The recent SSD caching craze attempts to alleviate both these issues, but OCZ has done one better. Combining a RevoDrive 3 with a 1TB HDD the RevoDrive Hybrid offers a self-contained SSD caching solution that is...

    An Introduction to FreeNAS - The Do-It-Yourself NAS OS

    Despite the importance of keeping our personal data safe, many forego setting themselves up with a solid solution that can come to the rescue in the event of a disaster. NAS boxes can be a bit pricy, however, and not to mention restrictive. That problem is solved with FreeNAS, a perfect start to...

    Crusader Kings II Review

    Politics, intrigue, assassination and plotting. Going to war against infidels and pleasing the Pope. Claiming land from your neighbors and getting rid of inconvenient family members. That's good old Middle Ages, for you. Read through Mario's review of Crusader Kings II and please, please, do not...

    Top ten worst songs of the 90s?

    I am not sure I agree with much of this list, but you might disagree: http://www.nme.com/blog/index.php?blog=1&title=10_worst_songs_of_the_90s&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 It seems like they simply chose popular songs to consider the worst.

    I couldn't agree more.

    iWatchz!

    The nano is overpriced (Sansas offer twice the storage space and more features for the same price), but for a product like that, it's nano or bust. I am not sure I could picture running headphones down into my watch though... Looks good though!

    Intel's 313 "Hawley Creek" Caching SSDs Expected Around Ivy Bridge?

    By now, solid-state drives shouldn’t need any introduction. The performance, latency, power, and even longevity of most SSDs easily exceeds that of a traditional hard disk drive - but so does the price. Perhaps this is why the solid-state caching phenomenon has seemingly exploded, with just...

    Valve's Headquarters are as Exciting as its Games

    When a game developer hits the big leagues, there's one thing that's sure to happen - an office makeover. Some hard-ass developers might keep things traditional, but a company like Valve, which obviously has a good sense of humor and taste, it can make an office look cooler and more comfortable...

    Microsoft to Kill "Windows Live" and "Zune" Branding with Windows 8

    It appears that Microsoft is planning on making some branding changes in Windows 8 to help simplify things. According to The Verge, the "Windows Live" moniker that prefaced a lot of applications within Windows will be replaced with... nothing at all. Windows Live Contacts will become "People"...

    VLC 2.0 Released - Features Improved Codec, Mac & Anime Support

    There's one thing that bugs me about VLC, and perhaps someone knows what the deal is. For some reason, VLC brightens up the video needlessly. Blacks are not perfectly black, but lightened just a bit, and even a 100% "black" background can light up the room (when it shouldn't). In PowerDVD and...

    Firefox 12 Aurora for Android looks definitely different!

    Alright, I hate to ask but - how did you record this video? Even most app developers I see just camcorder their video (and it looks like crap), but you didn't. Is video recording a part of ICS or something? That said, Firefox 11 looks good. Even better than the Chrome beta imo.

    Whoops.... Google just made another boo boo, or did it?

    I am lost with this story. In one camp, people say Google should be hung at the stake, but in the other, Google states that Microsoft is adhering to archaic standards (this wouldn't surprise me... we're talking about IE here). If Google did in fact do things that override user cookies however...

    NVIDIA Holding Mass Effect 3 Contest - Win a MAINGEAR PC

    It shows how little I know about the game... these questions made no sense to me. I am not even sure I'd be able to answer any trivia questions for most games I play, because I tend to forget a part of the lore/story as soon as it's told to me.
