Following weeks of speculation, Nikon has today announced its "Nikon 1" camera system, featuring a mirrorless design and compact size. As with most MILCs (mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras), Nikon has designed its "1" cameras to sit between point-and-shoots and DSLRs with the goal of being...

For Battlefield 3 and Diablo III fans, there's some important information floating around that you will want to pay attention to. On the BF3 front, it's been announced that the game will be going into an open beta period on September 29, while a closed beta for those previously accepted will...

Rock of Ages might just be one of the strangest games ever conceived. You assume the role of a boulder with the goal of making it through a perilous level filled with towers, cows, bombs, air blowers, catapults, elephants and more in order to bust your opponent's castle door down. Don't worry...

I think I'm out of the loop given I haven't heard of 80% of these movies.

Some claim that PC gaming is dying, but recent trends disagree. In fact, it looks to be console gaming that's soon to see a decline, thanks in part to a growing number of compelling aspects that PCs offer - including at the very least free-to-play games. Let's take a look at these and other...

I feel compelled to pull an Optix.

Reason #1 someone has to edit their 'hosts' file: Piracy Reason #2 someone has to edit their 'hosts' file: In-game ads

Because Pixar still hasn't given me the source to any of its movies for me to use as a benchmark ;-) Fast 5 and Captain America were both great movies. I didn't see the others.

Good post at the Eidos forums, marfig. To me, the ads are intrusive. If I die in a game and see a loading screen (which for me takes a lot longer than 3 seconds to pass) with an ad completely unrelated to the game, then my attention is now on something else, not still 100% on the game like it...

Lag might not be a major issue if interference is minimal, but the product you describe... I'm not sure it exists. It sounds simple in theory, but I have just never -seen- anything like that, or have even heard about it. It'd be useful though, for obvious reasons. A super long USB cord would...

Haha, have fun with the build :D

I am not sure I'd understand why anyone would go from a Corsair H70, which is a wicked cooler, to an air solution that's about twice as large. Either way, sorry to hear about your troubles, martin. As Optix says, it definitely pays to read the reviews, although in your case, it seems like you...

Could it be due to the fact that the Kingston drive uses different NAND? If I recall, OCZ uses IMFT, while this Kingston drive uses Intel "Compute" NAND.

One of my all-time favorite moments on Seinfeld is when George tears off a phone number from an ad on some telephone pole, and then has his wallet explode all over the place when he tries to store it there. Apparently someone at Google loved that part as well, because in August, the company...

PC gaming sure isn't what it used to be. Remember when the biggest inconvenience was needing the CD to play? Today, we have to instead battle a multitude of different DRM schemes (the worst being Ubisoft's famed "always online"), games that launch with a billion bugs, and now, games that shove...

I agree, the presentation was quite fluid. This beta is super light on content though so I am kind of curious as to what the full version will bring. Perhaps it's not even going to be a monthly magazine, but rather just a continually-updated application.

From what I understand from the video, most houses there do have electricity, it's just that a lot of people won't use it. People might be more lenient to use it at night, even sporadically, since daytime light is free. We really need solar panels to become dirt cheap.

In some countries, being able to turn on a simple lightbulb is a luxury - one few people can take advantage of. There's an initiative in the Phillipines, though, that I thought was quite cool. You need a simple water bottle, filled with water with a bit of bleach added, and then the bottle is...

To help celebrate the fact that some teachers have been using the original Portal to teach their students valuable puzzle-solving skills, Valve is giving the game away until (and I believe including) tomorrow at Steam. If you don't already own the game, you can simply head on over to the Steam...

Further proving that Valve is planning for its Steam platform to be all things to PC gamers, it almost seems appropriate to learn that gaming magazines might be a big part of its future. Late last week, PC Gamer unveiled its "PC Gamer Digital" beta, to give gamers a taste of what's to come, and...
