Nokia has just unveiled a collection of new phones, including a new flagship that will sit above the Meego-based N9. While the design of the Lumia 800 is quite similar to the N9, the hardware inside has a couple of notable changes. The software has also seen a stark change: a move to Windows...

Good point. I'll consider using it to stress-test CPUs instead of just running some benchmark.

TSMC, the Taiwanese semiconductor company responsible for producing silicon for both of the leading discrete GPU manufacturers, has just announced that it has begun volume production of wafers built on a 28nm process. Of these, four variants exist; High Performance, High Performance Low Power...

FinalWire's AIDA64 has just reached version 2.00, and with it comes a slew of improvements, optimized benchmarks, and enhanced support for the latest PC hardware. A major improvement, albeit a simple one, is the introduction of an online update tool that will make updating to the latest version...

Next thing you know, Apple will patent the idea of holding the phone wrong.

That about sums it up. And it kind of correlates to the news post I wrote earlier about Gabe Newell, where he said if a better service is offered, piracy becomes less of an issue. Better service in many ways could simply mean better respect. Ubisoft became hated quite readily for its...

Apple has been awarded another patent by the United States Patent & Trademark Office, this time it’s patent number 7657849 which grants them the rights to “Unlocking a device by performing gestures on an unlock image”. Yes, Apple now owns the familiar slide to unlock feature that has been...

Grand Theft Auto IV might have just come out three years ago, but fans of the series have grown anxious at the fact that Rockstar hasn't announced its next iteration. Until today, of course - as the title suggests. Catering to the frustrating tradition of giving gamers no information whatsoever...

Thecus knows how to make a good NAS - and I should know; I've been using (and planning to review) the N4200 for quite some time and have been more than please overall with it. The N8900 is a different beast, however. While the N4200 has a simpler feature-set perfect for the home user or small...

I don't get it, did you take advantage of the deal when it was offered, to add it to your collection in the first place? I accepted the offer but never downloaded it, and it's still in my collection.

At a recent conference held in Seattle, Valve's Gabe Newell discussed some results of his company's experiments with price variation with Steam sales and why pricing has little to do with piracy. This sort of disclosed information is interesting for the fact that Valve has always been a private...

With Intel's forthcoming Sandy Bridge-E CPU architecture launch looming ever-closer, some motherboard vendors have begun to preview some of their upcoming offerings. As has become a tradition of sorts, GIGABYTE is one of the first out the door, with a photo preview of its G1.Assassin 2, X79-UD7...

You've no doubt heard or read about the recent flooding in Thailand earlier this month and how catastrophic it has been for those living in the area. A quick look at things from a tech perspective shows that one of the biggest hard drive manufacturers in the world, Western Digital, is in a bad...

What's the current stepping? Nate at Legit Reviews posted a couple of CPU-Z shots that you could check: http://legitreviews.com/article/1751/1/

Today we released new GeForce R285 WHQL-certified drivers just in time to play Battlefield 3. Download GeForce 285.62 drivers from GeForce.com. This driver is available for both desktop and notebook GeForce GPUs running Windows 7 or Windows Vista. GeForce 285.58 is also available today for...

Optix pointed me to this last night... quite a well-done video.

There are two reasons that companies like Intel and AMD release clock-bumped products: A) Better model number, and it's a newer release (aka: it appears better to the consumer) B) Most people don't overclock, so a $15 premium for an extra 100MHz might seem worth it

What browser? And are you using a sync feature where your old profile gets imported into a fresh installation? I on occasion have had issues with sync and Chrome, where emoticons would never be accurate, and it was actually stored in the cloud that way. Did you happen to try a different...

Great review, Mario! I hate to admit that I've owned this game for a week and haven't loaded it up. I need to soon so that I can at least relay my own opinions on the game as well. From this review though, I have a feeling I'm going to agree with most everything that's been said - especially...
