With the advent of the social network, personal security has become a more important topic than ever. If you are to ask the folks at Facebook about their security measures, they'd quickly tell you that they're all good. But just how good? The company last week revealed some numbers that seem...

With the recent passing of Steve Jobs, "innovator" has been a title thrown around a lot. It's for good reason, as Steve was one of the best. As of late, however, it seems that most of what's truly interesting or intriguing to come out of Apple has been the result of acquisitions. Take Siri, the...

When visiting trade shows such as CES, we're often exposed to what I like to call "pre-fads" - that is, things that are obvious to become fads as soon as mass-production occurs. We saw it with '3D' TVs, OLED screens, netbooks, tablets and so forth. There's one piece of tech that we've seen time...

The question must be begged... what PSU? That sucks man, but it's a damn good thing you caught it before it had the chance to spread. Ugh. I had a fire incident a couple of months ago (not computer-related), so I know what the excitement is like. Not great excitement, but excitement nonetheless.

Self-contained liquid CPU coolers have become a dime-a-dozen (figuratively, of course), but it's still not often when we see a chassis released with liquid cooling built-in. We're taking a look at one such option here, from Ikonik. So let's see what the Ra2000 Liquid is made off, and see if it...

Quick watch, but worth it. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=2414493718292

The good folks at GOG.com are following in Steam's footsteps and holding their own Halloween sale this weekend. It also features some spooky classics, but due to the overall limited selection of GOG's service to begin with (compared to Steam), the selection is limited to only 12 titles. But what...

Wow, quite the collection of system monitors there! MacMan: Ubuntu's System Monitor is in fact GNOME's System Monitor and has remained in its current incarnation for many years. The point of this post isn't that Windows gained a system monitor, because it didn't. It just drastically improved it.

A couple of weeks ago, we linked to an in-depth look of the Task Manager in Windows 8 at the official development blog, and this week, the team followed-up to talk a bit more about monitoring your desktop or server with it. While the Task Manager has seemed sufficient in recent Windows...

Uhh, no I didn't!

As I deal with multiple chipset/CPU launches each year, it's a little rare when I find myself more excited for one launch than another (after all, it takes time to innovate), but I admit this article piqued my interest in motherboards quite a bit for this launch. Couple of things... I can...

At its annual tech summit held a couple of weeks ago, ASUS talked in great detail about what's coming to its X79 mobo line-up. Certain NDA's have not yet lifted, but we can talk about a few of the new things ASUS is introducing, and also take an early look at four of the company's X79...

What a mean cat :( He wouldn't even let me have one!

Wow, it got up there in price rather quick :D This bundle in particular doesn't entice me to purchase too much, but the entire premise of it all does. I find it truly exciting that for just a couple of dollars you can legally own some really cool games, and there's already promises of more on...

We talked just earlier this week about the sale events that Valve has become well-known for with its Steam platform, so what better time to see another one kick off? You have Halloween to thank this time around, with a huge assortment of "spooky" games to choose from - including the...

Nintendo was once a company that seemed to generate huge revenue regardless of what it did, but with its latest financial report showing a loss of $923 million USD for the first half of the company's fiscal year, it looks like things have begun to change. Nintendo cites the strong Yen and the...

It's no secret that people like Zombies in their games, given the prevalence of all the games and respective DLC packs out there, but did you ever expect a train simulator to get a Zombie DLC? If you say "yes", you're lying! http://store.steampowered.com/app/65235/

RIM has got you covered. http://mobilesyrup.com/2011/10/27/rim-officially-announces-the-blackberry-porsche-p%E2%80%999981-a-luxurious-modern-smartphone/

Bell and Rogers jointly announced the HTC Raider today, with it becoming Canada's first widely-available LTE option. First released in South Korea last month and rumored to hit AT&T in the US soon, the Raider is being touted as a "powerhouse social networker, entertainer and communicator" - all...

When OCZ acquired SSD controller maker Indilinx this past March, I couldn't help but wonder what it was that Indilinx offered over SandForce. Of course, the real question should have been about how much more SandForce was worth than Indilinx, and thanks to an acquisition by LSI, that question...
