    The loss of a Visionary: Steve Jobs Passes

    Time to admit that I choked up and shed tears over this news. I don't like Apple much... that's obvious. But what's also obvious is that Steve was a brilliant man who innovated and forced his competitors to do the same. He took a company about to collapse and turned it into the most profitable...

    De-RAGE Yourself With These Graphics Tweaks

    It seems that id's RAGE couldn't have been more aptly named, as for PC gamers, it's been an emotion felt as getting the game to just look good and run well has been tough. Unfortunately, the game is very un-id Software like in that it clearly wasn't developed for PC gamers. The issues gamers are...

    Microsoft Discusses Reasons for Dropping Start Menu in Windows 8

    Since Windows 95's release, the Start menu has become an integral part of many computing lives. Over time, it's experienced continual improvement, with the introduction of pinned items, a search bar, quicker access to key folders and so forth. But with Windows 8, Microsoft will be shelving the...

    Thermaltake Chaser MK-1 Full-Tower Chassis Review

    Thermaltake has a large number of chassis lines, but it's time to welcome another: Chaser. The first model, MK-1, features a bold, gamer-esque design and borrows many cues from the Level 10 GT. It features an HDD dock, a headphone holder, and tons of cooling capacity. At $150, is this a...

    Apple Launches iPhone 4S; Introduces Siri Voice Recognition

    As expected, Apple has today announced the latest addition to its iPhone line-up, the 4S. You'll note that it's not called the '4G', and that's for a reason. With this release, there's no 4G or LTE support... so for those who were holding out for that, you'll have to wait until the iPhone 5...

    SteelSeries Sensei Pro-Grade Gaming Mouse Review

    Is there a simple test that would prove this issue to me? I've moved around my cursor as fast as possible and never had experienced this issue.

    First Portal 2 DLC Released; Game Priced at $15 Until Oct. 6

    After what felt like an eternity of a wait, Valve has today released the first bit of DLC for Portal 2, and as promised, it's free. There is a catch, though - it's not that content-filled. In gist, the biggest enhancement has been the addition of a new co-op campaign which is rumored to last...

    Migrating Your EA Games from Steam or Retail to Origin

    From what I understand, that should work. There's a trade forum at Steam that you might want to check out. I have the same beef with DLC. In Mafia II, there was PS3 exclusive DLC at launch. Last December, it became available for the PC... in like three countries (Russia being one of them). I...

    NVIDIA Releases Battlefield 3 Graphics Guide

    It's all too rare when a game comes along for the PC that almost demands an upgrade, but Battlefield 3 is one such example. Let's face it - Crysis in its own right was a game that demanded a super-fast PC, but the hype level leading up to its launch doesn't hold a candle to Battlefield 3. In...

    Migrating Your EA Games from Steam or Retail to Origin

    Ahh, I getcha. Yes, I hope it fixes it also, and if it doesn't, just contact EA support. When the game is under Origin, they're bound to actually listen.

    SteelSeries Sensei Pro-Grade Gaming Mouse Review

    I think their comments I pointed out were pointed at Razer, so it's kind of humorous that the Sensei has lights in almost the same places. Oh well. For some reason, I never cared much for Razer mice. They looked good, but I never found any single one of them to be that comfortable. I find it...

    Migrating Your EA Games from Steam or Retail to Origin

    Wow, that's really the case? Are you sure it's not just tied to your EA account in general? With Test Drive Unlimited 2, I own the game through Steam but all car purchases had to be done on Atari's site, since Steam didn't handle the DLC. Either way, hope this solution works out for you.

    Getting dual 6970's for BF3...need a bigger case

    Sheesh, I am going to sound like a broken wheel, but for a mid-tower, Corsair 600T; full-tower, Cooler Master 932 Advanced (or HAF X, if it's under $200). In truth, I'd almost hold off on purchasing a second GPU until the final game is released. The beta is a horrible gauge for what sort of...

    SteelSeries Sensei Pro-Grade Gaming Mouse Review

    SteelSeries takes gaming seriously, as evidenced by its high-end Xai mouse released two years ago. Developed with the help of pro gamers, the Xai boasted high-end specs, unique features and looked good. The Sensei is the Xai's replacement, and with it comes even beefier specs, a CPU under the...

    Tevez gets the Council House bombed.

    Mancini could have acted better, but I can relate to where he's coming from. It's Tevez's job to do what is needed by the team... that's why he gets paid well enough to buy a Ferrari each and every week if he wanted to. He always goes to the media to cry like a baby despite things being amazing...

    Tevez gets the Council House bombed.

    "No fucking passion. He just doesn't care." Well said. I used to be a big Tevez fan when he was with West Ham, but after transferring to Man U, things just began to fall apart. It seems with each transfer, he becomes more of a whiny brat. "A quarter of a million pounds a week and he makes...

    Amazon Launches Four New Kindle Devices

    This I am not too sure of. I might be off here, but it seems that Amazon likes hitting the "budget" price area as much as possible, and for the most part, all of its Kindles have been priced-right. The Fire, despite being a color tablet, capable of playing video and even some games, still just...

    Mango update

    How's this update overall? Major, or just minor? I haven't touched a Windows phone in a good while... I need to get my hands on one and see what it's all about. Any particular reason you favor Windows Phone over the competition? GPS + Voice - does that use your data, or just via the...
