    Father shoots daughter's laptop

    I don't doubt that for a second ;)

    Father shoots daughter's laptop

    I think he should have done something more constructive with the laptop, such as give it to charity (that would have stung the girl just the same), but either way, I can totally understand where he's coming from. If I had a kid who went on Facebook to belittle me after all I've done for them...

    Intel Releases First Sandy Bridge-E Quad-Core: i7-3820

    When Intel released its first Sandy Bridge-E processors this past November, it was expected that we'd see the first quad-core variant appear in February. Lo and behold, that has held true. The Core i7-3820 is a 3.6GHz offering that lobs off two cores and four threads. It shares its max Turbo...

    AMD's HD 7000 Series Goes Mainstream: HD 7770 & HD 7750

    On Monday, we posted some pictures of an interesting piece of swag AMD sent our way; a faux pill prescription for "Verdetrol". Today, the company has released the product those pills hinted at, based on the 'Cape Verde' architecture. Those products come in the form of the Radeon HD 7770 and HD...

    Can Future iPads Cannibalize TV Purchases?

    I have never watched a TV show or movie on a mobile device ever... and I just can't see there ever being a time when I will. I just can't stand looking at small screens for too long (a tablet wouldn't count I don't think... I just have no experience there). When I watch a movie though, I want...

    Can Future iPads Cannibalize TV Purchases?

    We live in a world where trends and likes can change on a dime. Years ago, having a big screen TV was the coolest thing ever, but now it's commonplace. We used to never imagine walking around with robust mobile computers, but that's also commonplace. We never thought of using our cell phones for...

    Rovio Releases Free-to-Play but Pay-to-Win Angry Birds on Facebook

    When one of my favorite MMOs, Lineage II, took the free-to-play route this past December, it became clear to me pretty quick that "free-to-play" actually translates to "pay-to-win". The latest target of that scheme? Believe it or not... Angry Birds. Developer Rovio just released the game to...

    Planning to RMA Your Hard Drive? Make Sure Your Data is Safe

    No pun, but I don't think Newegg has the capacity to refurb hard drives. That requires things like a clean room and high-end equipment to literally rebuild a hard drive.

    Planning to RMA Your Hard Drive? Make Sure Your Data is Safe

    When major floods struck Thailand last fall, hard drive manufacturers found themselves in a bad position. Certain parts became rare out of nowhere, and as a result, hard drive prices sky-rocketed. Post-flood, prices for a given model saw a hike of up to 3x, so it's of little surprise that some...

    So I made the jump to an SSD..

    Nice purchase, Corey! And I do agree with your goal to build a new rig :D

    AMD Sends Us 'Verdetrol' Performance-Enhancing Pills (Yes, Really)

    If there's one thing we're certain of about AMD, it's that its press relations department has a good sense of humor. Often, I'll receive an e-mail from someone there and end up cracking up laughing, and the same thing could be said about what hit our doorstep late last week. In a UPS bubble...

    SteelSeries Sensei NES cartridge

    I've been meaning to talk about this little gift from SteelSeries for a while, and as I had to snap photos of some other bizarre thing we received late last week (more on that soon), I decided to snap up some photos. When I first saw this, I had flashbacks to the countless number of...

    ThinkGeek Announces 'iCade 8-Bitty' Retro Gamepad for iDevices

    This past CES, we learned of some 'iCade' products that aim to turn your iPhone or iPod touch into a better mobile gaming device, but of those solutions, none seemed that convenient (and in fact could be considered gimmicky). Today, however, ThinkGeek announced a solution that might just be the...

    Synology DS212 NAS Server Review

    It's been a while since we last evaluated a NAS device, so to help kick things back off, we're taking a look at Synology's 2-bay DS212 NAS server. Synology has long offered not only robust hardware, but exceptionally good software, so let's see if that still stands today, as our last look at a...

    I need DDR2 Memory

    Yes there have been a few sales. Unfortunately I have a habit of never keeping older gear around, I have no DDR2 at all :(

    Smartass in the family

    Last night, my sister on Facebook asked for recommendations of something to draw. Being an equal-level smartass, I said, "Draw a picture of somebody drawing a picture of somebody drawing." Well, she did:

    What's Stopping You From Purchasing an SSD?

    Naish! Damn man, it's good to see you around! As for the 520, you'd be making a very, very good choice ;-)
