    Google Releases Chrome 14; Introduces Native Client & Web Audio API

    Google updated its Chrome Web browser late last week, pushing the version to 14.0. With it comes an improved UI for Mac OS X Lion, the first usable version of 'Native Client' (NaCl), a Web audio API set to give developers some creative freedom with audio effects, along with the usual onslaught...

    Daisy-Chaining Not Possible with mini-DP and Apple's Thunderbolt Displays

    We posted last week about the strong support that Thunderbolt received at Intel's latest Developer Forum, so it seems appropriate that Apple has just begun shipping its first 27" Thunderbolt displays to its customers. With this, Apple updated its support site and at the same time made a couple...

    New motherboard is ORDERED!

    Cinebench, 7-Zip benchmark mode, POV-Ray... can't think of others at the moment.

    Kingston HyperX 240GB SATA 6Gbit/s SSD Review

    Kingston may of been fashionably late to the SandForce party, but its explanation for wanting to avoid the issues that have (and still) plague other manufacturers is sound. Its first SandForce offerings appropriately fall under the HyperX branding, and offer speeds to take full advantage of the...

    Modern Warfare 3 Explained.

    Imageshack for some reason blocks a lot of countries. A friend of mine in Australia can't see anything I link him to from there either.

    Deus Ex: HR patch released - lots of bugfixes

    I didn't experience a single issue listed there. I seem to be in the minority... not a single hitch to mention, except those Steam-related ones. I think the mechanics for this went over my head. I am maxed out in hacking also and I do have a fair number of 0% and also 15%, but do see some...

    What should I do?

    I didn't even realize Rage was going to have MP. I'll be getting it nonetheless, just because it's an id game and it can't be that bad, but up to this point there's been little to truly grab me about the game. BF3 on the other hand has me pumped, even more so than MW3 (which is rare given I...

    Hard Reset Review

    The game felt like a good MP candidate to me, thanks to its fluidity and focus on fast-paced action. The game as it is I don't think could become an MP unless some changes are made, mostly with weapons. With ammo so common, I found myself using the railgun a lot. It ammo was just as prevalent in...

    Corsair Enters the Keyboard and Mouse Market

    Imagine my surprise as I pulled up Corsair's page only to find a new product line that flew in under the radar - Vengeance Gaming. Vengeance has been Corsair's current enthusiast brand of memory but is being expanded to incorporate K-series keyboards, M-series mice and a few new headset models...

    GIGABYTE Launches Full-Fledged UEFI on X79 Motherboards

    With another Intel Developer Forum in the bag, there are always bits and pieces that slipped through our fingers but deserve to be mentioned, and this one is pretty big - GIGABYTE finally launched its own dedicated UEFI. No, not the half-hearted attempt that we all know as HybridEFI. This is a...

    Hard Reset Review

    Hard Reset is an interesting game. It was announced and then released in the span of a couple of months, is a PC exclusive, and has no multi-player mode. Its goal is to deliver old-school FPS gameplay and deliver some of the most adrenaline-pumping boss battles we've ever seen. Sound good? Read...

    Kingston to release 64GB 2.4GHz memory kit for X79

    Enough said: http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news/2011/9/15/kingston-readies-a-64gb2c-24ghz-memory-kit-for-intel-x79-platform.aspx I no longer am impressed by the 12GB in my PC. Not even a little bit.
