For those who don't use Linux, or do use Linux but aren't aware, the audio system found within the OS is horrible. Not in quality, features or performance, but rather in configuration and execution. Since I began using Linux in 1999, and moved to it full-time in 2004, the bulk of my most...

More choices for consumers is always a good thing, and Super Talent seems to agree with that philosophy. The company has just launched its the TeraDrive CT3 SSD. Sharp readers may remember it was just a month ago that Super Talent launched the TeraDrive PT3 SSD. Both are powered by the...

Having been an MMO game player for a number of years, registering 1,000 hours to a single title in a year isn't exactly a foreign thought to me. In fact, I've been playing my primary MMO since 2002, Asheron's Call, and I'm sure my total accrued playtime is at least four times that. Ugh, that's a...

I've been using this CPU cooler for a couple of months and love it. It's quiet, competent, and takes up little room. On another cooler I used to run (Intel's -big- cooler), I used to average around 50C idle, and cap out at full load. On the H60, I always idle around 35-40C and cap out at around...

When Corsair earlier this year announced its partnership with CoolIT, it at the same time also announced a follow-up to its popular H50, the H60. At first glance, the H60 looks simpler in design to the H50, but with an entirely rethought inside, featuring a split-flow design with micro-channel...

"If you build it, they will come". Well, OCZ has built another SSD monster; say hello to the RevoDrive 3 and RevoDrive 3 X2. This third generation PCIe-based SSD boasts the highest performance ever seen yet for workstation or even desktop use. Featuring version 2.0 of OCZ’s Virtualized...

It wasn't too many years ago when a dual-core processor in a notebook seemed exotic, but today, even quad-core processors don't make anyone bat an eye. Overall, their adoption still hasn't made a major impact in the market, but according to IHS iSuppli, things will shift by 2015, at which point...

Of all the things that disgust me in life, the idea of it being okay to charge customers left right and center for every possible thing under the moon, including things they didn't ask for, ranks high on the list. Not sure what I am talking about? Look no further than the entire telco industry...

The best part? The cheaper option with more selection is on-demand. No comparison on which solution is better. Makes regular cable seem as boring as a newspaper.

I'd be interested to see what you think of the selection. I didn't mind it when I had it, but I'm not opposed to loading up a film at random and enjoying it even if most people thought it was dull or boring. It's humorous, though, that Americans complain about the selection of Netflix streaming...

AMD this week has launched what it touts as being the fastest-ever mobile graphics processor to be released; the Radeon HD 6990M. Don't let the name fool you though, this isn't a dual-GPU part as the name would imply, but rather it's earned this top-tier name for likely being the final...

During the first half of 2011, Netflix was embroiled in a bit of controversy while at the same time had a lot to brag about. This past April, the company boasted a staggering 3.6 million subscribers gained in Q1, and then last month, the National Association of the Deaf up and sued the company...

Last month, an acquisition rumor emerged involving casual game developer PopCap, and at the time, it was Electronic Arts that got most nods as being the most probable purchaser. Well, anyone who agreed with that has been proven right, as EA today announced its plans to purchase the developer for...

When we took OCZ's Vertex 3 SSD for a spin last month, there was no other way to sum up our thoughts than 'blown-away'. How could such a drive get even better? With tweaked firmware and a doubling-up of NAND chips, of course. Let's take a look at the Vertex 3 Max IOPS edition and see if its...

Since launching its Sapphire Select Club (SSC), Sapphire has offered some cool exclusive contests for its members, but the latest might take the cake. Fancy rally racing? Love Dirt 3? Then this contest should be right up your alley. Just for being an SSC member and a Sapphire Radeon HD 6000...

It's no secret that daily lifestyle shows such as NBC's Today are rife with intellectual brilliance from both the hosts and guests, and a recent episode featuring television personality and advertising mogul Donny Deutsch is hardly an exception. During a segment that welcomes viewer questions...

In February of last year, Microsoft hit a major milestone with its Windows 7 OS - 60 million sold. That milestone was reached less than six months after its launch, and as a result, Windows 7 became the fastest-selling OS of all time. Momentum didn't slow afterwards, however, as about five...

Thanks a ton for taking the time to post, George :D Those are some interesting equations... I had no idea the temperature being generated could be calculated so easily. If the HX1000W produces 198W of heat and the AX1200 produces 108W, does that literally mean that the HX1000W is running...

I never thought I'd be writing about Google+, but here goes. You see, I'm not a huge fan of 'social networking', at least what I've experienced so far. It's not that I'm anti-social. In fact, I'm far from that. Upon first joining Facebook, however, I had plans to use it as a way to keep in touch...
