Need proof that sufficient CPU cooling doesn't need to be expensive? The ~$45 Zalman CNPS7X LED is it. Taking after the design of the much more expensive CNPS11X, the CNPS7X uses fewer heatpipes and a smaller 92mm fan, resulting in a modest size and silence - even with a decent CPU overclock...

I watched some of these videos, but not too much. I hate looking at gameplay trailers before a game is launched because I end up being disappointed once I get into the real game and see the same things over. All I know is... this game can't come soon enough :D

This article wasn't about closed vs. open, proprietary vs. non-proprietary, or free vs. commercial; the article is called "10 Things Linux Does Better Than Windows", and that's just what the article covers. There's really no possible way on earth I could state that any more clearly...

Although it's never been a problem in our own community (thankfully), something that I've been putting a fair amount of thought into lately is the vitriol that exists in many comment sections and forums around the Web. When you go to the supermarket, most people wouldn't feel like they are...

As Metallica once said, sad but true. If the product is legit, I do wonder how the prices compare to prices over here. It's unfortunate that the originating blog post didn't tackle this.

I don't use Windows because I want to... I use it because I have to. If all the applications/games I needed worked fine in Linux, there'd be no reason whatsoever for me to use Windows. And I don't consider the lack of full support for Windows applications in Linux to be one of its major...

deadrats and Kayden: Have either of you actually read the article? You're both complaining about some things I didn't even mention, or at least misconstruing them. It's as though you both read the heading titles and nothing else. For the sake of time and due to a total lack of desire, I'm making...

That's just it. Video games are easy to pin the blame on, so that's what's done. What people don't seem to realize is that media has nothing to do with these killings... the people just are not right in the head. What's so hard to understand about that? Did H. H. Holmes play Grand Theft Auto...

It almost seems inevitable that with a tragedy caused by a lone individual, video games become one of the first things sought out for blaming. In the case of Anders Behring Breivik, the man responsible for killing more than 70 people in an act of terrorism, it was he himself who gave the media...

Late last week, we posted a story that talked about fake Apple stores being a real problem in Kunming, China, and with the mass popularity the originating blog post experienced, it should have been of little surprise that something could have resulted from the exposure. Today, we learn that some...

With Linux set to celebrate its 20th anniversary next month, what better time than now to usher in a new major version number? That was Linus Torvalds' thoughts on things, and as a result of the micro version number for the 2.6 kernel becoming rather high (and somewhat comical), we're now...

The fact that you understand Linux so well while being completely ignorant of it being a capable OS is simply mind-blowing to me. I'm done here... this debate is pointless. Stick to your Windows, I'll stick to my Linux.

In much of the world, piracy isn't just something that exists, it's a way of life. This is especially true in countries such as China (and Asia in general) where you never have to go far to find pirated software, movies, clothing, luxury goods, and even entire stores. It's true. Due to the...

Think optical media is dead? Given that we spend so much of our lives online, and are able to stream all sorts of content, from movies to games to music and beyond, it's not hard to feel that way. While there are some straggler formats, such as Blu-ray, the general consensus seems to be that...

A couple of weeks ago, we talked a bit about the difficulties indie developers endure in trying to both get published to Microsoft's Xbox Live Indie Games program and more importantly, earn sufficient revenue to both survive and build up a company. About a week after our news item was posted...

I don't use Linux because it's free; that just happens to be a major plus. I can install it wherever I want, in whichever configuration I want, do whatever I want with it, and never have to ponder costs or activation. I own three Windows 7 licenses, and am in Windows right now as I type this...

Wow, now that's what I call a prize list :eek:

Hmm, that's interesting. I have no idea whatsoever what the rules are around here. I don't know anyone that young who buys video games, and even then, most people I know don't even go to the store anymore; they just order online or buy it through Steam.

This is the kind of thing that first turned me against social networks. It seemed like, out of nowhere, most of my favorite bands had adopted MySpace as their main website. I mean... main website, where you type in their URL and get forwarded straight to MySpace. Oh, and those auto-playing music...

There's not much I can contribute here, but like GFreeman, I've also been interested in the universe ever since I was little. I don't read up on it all too often, or even watch television programmes on it (though that History Channel show does intrigue me), but every so often I'll get a bug and...
