On August 25, 1991, computer programmer Linus Torvalds posted a message to a Usenet group stating that he had begun work on a MINIX replacement, one that was just meant to be a "hobby". He said he was to be free, and said that it'd likely never support anything other than AT hard disks - as...

Oh geez, I have never seen that option before =/ Thanks for pointing it out. I -could- move the Vent information to another audio device, but I'd rather hear the game -and- the voices. It's just a lose/lose situation as far as I'm aware. That's a problem in my video also... you could hear...

Yeah, it'd be nice to be able to separate that. I recorded a quick blurb video the other day because I couldn't even tell how I killed someone, and because I am using a USB mic, MY voice doesn't even come through, but everyone else's does. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAIiDl_u8Q8 Makes...

Not to mention that this mimics the Streisand effect. OnLive is getting a LOT of "free " publicity over this (I say "free" because they are essentially losing out if these coupons are not given to customers). What we need is either OnLive or Square Enix to explore legal options, because...

GameStop has come under fire for many things over the years, but the latest incident takes the cake. It's been known for some time that the company will open most games that are sold in order to keep the disc behind the counter, secured. But with the PC version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution...

I haven't been thrilled about all that's been floating around about Windows 8, but with its development blog launched about two weeks ago, Microsoft has been unveiling more good than bad. Its latest announced improvement? A much-needed overhaul of the file transfer dialogs, to improve both...

22 million shares * $20 = $440,000 Or about the price of an iPhone. Alright, I kid ;) I don't see much changing either to be honest, though the presentations will never be the same. There are few who can give keynotes quite like Steve, as overenthusiastic as they sometimes may be.

This is not about a CPU death, so apologies in advance. I am sure that would have been far more satisfying of a read. No, this is a tale of how one speck of dust wasted about six hours of my life, leading me to believe that the motherboard I was testing was broken. Last night, I hooked up...

Man, that's hilarious! Were you totally surprised by it, or took it in stride?

There have been some major announcements made in the tech industry over the past two weeks, but this might be the biggest, and the most important. It has just been announced that Steve Jobs has resigned as CEO at Apple, handing over the reigns to the previous head of the company's worldwide...

There are few pieces of software in our virtual toolboxes here at Techgage that are quite as important as Acronis True Image Home. With it, we can keep regular backups of our own PCs, and also create full PC images of our benchmarking rigs that allow us to get back into action fast in the event...

No kidding! I don't regret getting the H60 per se when I upgraded this build, but after seeing the performance of this beast, and realizing I have a six-core... what was I thinking? Should have waited :D

For about as long as the free image editor GIMP has existed, an oft-requested feature has been a single-window mode, a la Adobe Photoshop. Though both tools exist to accomplish the same overall goals, GIMP's design saw the toolbox and images themselves separate from the main application window...

We mentioned in a recent chassis article that having the best of both worlds where cooling and noise is concerned is difficult, but as Corsair's H80 proves, the same can't be said about CPU coolers. In fact, for both those aforementioned reasons, the H80 might have just become the best CPU...

This past May, NZXT released its Sentry Mesh fan controller, which like the name would suggest, had a meshed front perfectly suited for those with a chassis to match. In some ways, it was a much-needed product, as some fan controllers kind of stood out in the wrong way on meshed chassis. But...

Bah :-( There's no such thing as a perfect game I guess, but meh, that doesn't sound like a big deal to me. The first game didn't have the most stellar voice acting either, but it worked. LOL! Yes, of all the games to pre-order, those two were a little underwhelming ;-) You couldn't go...

There's no need for Microsoft to support Thunderbolt, because it's not even supported on the PC hardware (it's exclusive to Apple, so it's kind of hard for Microsoft to even consider supporting it). USB 3.0 on the other hand does just what 99.9% of people who will use it need it to do, while...

In the summer of 2000, Ion Storm released what became an instant cult classic and its most successful title during its tenure, Deus Ex. On the surface, the game looked like the usual futuristic action game, but for fans, there's a lot more to it than that. At its heart, it's an RPG in the truest...

Since the introduction of USB 3.0, we have needed to install third-party drivers in Windows in order to have the ports function, which for obvious reasons hasn't been ideal. On the newly-launched Windows 8 developer blog, we're told that this problem will cease to exist with the release of...
