In a rare move, AMD has publicly ousted a leading industry benchmark, BAPCo's SYSmark 2012, released mere weeks ago. The company believes both that the benchmark is unfair in its weighting of scores, and also that it's irrelevant for the average consumer. We delve deep into these claims, and...

The business of delivering groceries straight to the customer's door is a tough one, and up to now there hasn't been definitive success - not even from Walmart. But, Amazon sees past that challenge and has revived its 'Fresh' service with limited access in Seattle that allows customers to...

Looking to get some classic gaming action going this summer but don't want to break the bank? GOG.com, a service that prides itself on offering the classics for reasonable prices, has taken things one step further with its 'Staycation' promotion, where the entire Interplay catalogue has been...

If you live in or around the Sunnyvale, California area, then the place to be this coming weekend is Frys, where ASUS and a bevvy of sponsors are holding what the company touts as being a "Computer Enthusiast" event. Unlike a traditional "overclocking event" or "LAN", ASUS has combined those...

Tired of searching for an image via text input? Took a picture on vacation and can't remember the name of the monument you flashed a peace sign in front of? Feel like wasting time with a new Internet toy? If you've answered 'yes' to either of these questions, then you may be interested to...

Ubuntu may be the most popular desktop Linux choice, but it wouldn't surprise me if the total install-base of its derivatives proved to be the more impressive of the two. Out of the box, Ubuntu does a lot right, but it does leave a lot up to the user in terms of installing codec support...

When we tested out Intel's 'Smart Response Technology' last month, we liked what we saw. But at $110 for a 20GB SLC SSD, we wondered if a larger, more cost-effective option could still make the best use of the technology. With that, we're pitting Kingston's SSDNow V+100 64GB drive, at $150...

I've just realized that with Google Instant, clicking that button is impossible! As soon as you begin to type, it changes the page and removes the button. I can see why they'd want to get rid of it, then.

That DOES look like a good game, judging off just the screenshots. I'm not huge on RTS games, but it looks like this could be right up my alley. How does it compare to Civilization, or are both totally different? See, this is one of those games I saw come out, but paid little attention to. Glad...

I did a couple of quick tests on my desktop and notebook, and both with or without a pagefile, sleep worked just fine. However, without the pagefile on my desktop, FRAPS gave me some error when I came back, which I assume is because certain bits of information from the pagefile couldn't be...

AMD this week began shipping out its first 32nm Fusion processors in the form of the mobile part 'Sabine', based on the Llano architecture. The desktop variant, Lynx, is set to launch in the next couple of weeks. Some motherboard vendors have begun sending us boards to help us test out AMD's...

With the storage space offered on traditional HDDs, SSDs can leave a bit to be desired. Making matters worse are the Windows hibernation mode and pagefile, responsible for hogging at least 8GB (22GB in my case) of your precious SSD space. We're taking a look at the caveats of disabling both...

Who let the stiff in the room?!

That's just a phallusy. I'm sure they're kind, upstanding people.

Just be thankful we don't know how many bones that thing cost. We might all have a stroke.

No kidding. 2.2GB/s read? Yes, please!

Nice. Try to keep it up, but don't get too cocky.

This can be found in a graveyard near my house. Enough said.
