The updates from Microsoft's Windows 8 team keep on rollin' in, and I have to admit that if the momentum keeps up, Windows 8 might even outshine the success of Windows 7. On Tuesday, the company released details about ISO and VHD native support - that is, the ability to mount either image and be...

Three months ago, during Computex, OCZ showed off its latest RevoDrive PCIe SSD, dubbed 'Hybrid'. As the name no doubt gives away, the product sees a hard drive paired with an SSD, in order to have them act together and give users the best of both worlds - speed and storage. This is an idea that...

$150 for a ONE port card? That is ridiculous! At that point one might as well just suck up the loss of performance on their Marvell chip and just prepare for their next full PC upgrade.

That's true, but that doesn't excuse the fact that the feature was taken out. Intel could have left the feature there just fine, but it didn't, and that move is super-odd to me. An enthusiast part should have the kit and kaboodle as far as I am concerned, so to remove a forward-looking feature...

This could be part of the problem. I've had Steam download a patch on more than one occasion, and chances are it never applied properly until I forced it to validate the files. I noticed some people talking on the Steam forums about the multiple patches also, so I guess I am not alone. Yes...

I heard about this DLC last night when perusing the Xbox site, but didn't realize it was 100% Zombie mode. I admit I don't have extreme interest in that, nor have ever played the mode before (except for a quick test). This is a weird game for me because while I have all three map packs, no one I...

When the time rolls around when a PC enthusiast needs (or wants) to build a new computer, choosing the right components more often than not isn't that difficult. For those not too familiar with computer hardware, it's a different story. If minimal research is done, someone could end up...

As important as backing up data can be, keeping on top of things can be a chore. Lexar's promise is that with its Echo MX thumb drive, all potential hassle is minimized. As a solution that kicks off the backup process as soon as the drive is plugged in on both a Mac or PC, it does have some...

With the 10th anniversary of 9/11 right around the corner, Google has teamed up with the New York Times to open up a channel where videos can be found of all sorts, helping us to reflect on what happened that day. http://www.youtube.com/September11

I am not familiar with Portuguese football at all, but I am the SPL a bit. I have never been able to take it too seriously though, because when two teams have flip-flopped the trophy for literally the past 30 years, it makes the entire league seem a bit uneventful. Well, except for Ranger vs...

I have so far put 23 hours into this game and have been loving it. I've heard about the problems that some are experiencing with crashes and such, but for me, almost the entire 23 hours I've sunk into the game has been crash-free. With a couple exceptions. At about hour 15 or so, I...

I couldn't agree more. It made me sick to see how Square Enix handled this... it gives free reign to GameStop to do this sort of thing again, when it isn't right. I am fine with GS not wanting to include these coupons... that's fine. But to take them out and not mention it... that doesn't bode...

I have not experienced that at all to be honest. I just did a test with both my desktop and laptop (both are right beside each other), and loaded up a page I haven't in a while. Both effectively finished loading the page at the exact same time. Wireless -will- add some latency, but it should...

I might be an odd user, but even with this ribbon I don't think I'd ever use it. In the current version of the file manager, I right-click to do anything, from deleting to renaming. For things like cut, copy and paste, I just use the keyboard shortcuts, since my fingers are usually right...

I can't be stuffed to go through their one-picture-per-page slideshow again, but one card I don't think was mentioned that should have been was the NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT. That card was epic at the time, and most people I knew who built computers at around that time had it. It was affordable and...

If we were talking about a SP that was released about six months after the launch of the OS, I could begin to understand USB 3.0 support being added in, but with Windows 8 right around the corner (well, kind of... 7 has been out for two years), I don't see Microsoft being too interested in...

I found this out the hard way. When the HD 4870 X2 dual-GPU card was new, I had to go on a business trip, so I set it up to Fold while I was gone. During the trip I got to talking to a friend about Folding, and I told him about what I did. He told me to call home and get someone to turn off the...

If a team like Charlton Athletic or Derby were to lose to Man U like this, I'd still be a bit shocked. So to have a top-tier team like Arsenal suffer that sort of fate... it's just a little mind-blowing. After a while, I could do nothing but start laughing like a maniacal girl. I thought I was...

Is there nothing cheaper than that, like a poor-man's 2 port card or something? I searched around but couldn't find much. Newegg's search feature fails at times, and this is one of those times. I mentioned to someone the other day that it's too bad Intel doesn't make its own controller...

Microsoft has been divulging quite a bit of information on its upcoming Windows 8 OS on its official development blog, and the juicy tidbits don't seem to have an end in sight. In a new update, the company has gone into great detail about the improvements that the Explorer file manager will be...
