With Apple's major announcements at WWDC, one might imagine that it'd be OS X 'Lion' or iOS 5 to receive the most attention, but at Apple's homepage, neither of those are at the forefront. Rather, that privilege belongs to 'iCloud', Apple's long-awaited cloud-based storage service. While...

Apple introduced a lot of software at its ongoing WWDC conference that gives fans reason to be excited, but for desktop users, it's OS X Lion that's proven to be the most interesting. Like Snow Leopard, Lion's upgrade price is set to $29.99, and as such, the OS is more of an upgrade that's...

It has sure taken a while to get off the ground, but Sony has finally launched its 'Welcome Back' program, which awards both PS3 and PSP owners a choice of two free games; five to choose from on the PS3 side and four on the PSP side. For owners of both, a total of four games can be claimed...

At their release, Logitech's X-540 5.1 speakers were a hit, thanks to their affordable price and feature-set. In fact, our review from five years ago is still regularly read today. So what about their successor, the Z506? Carrying the same $99 price tag, does Logitech once again give us an...

I posted a video showcasing the first 15 minutes of the demo, as well as added some thoughts about it here: http://techgage.com/news/the_first_15_minutes_duke_nukem_forever_demo/

I had a good chat with a friend from GIGABYTE's Taiwan HQ earlier this month and this is what he said regarding it:

This is the first thing that came to mind when I first learned of TouchBIOS. For those who know and understand overclocking, using the BIOS is 10x faster, and smoother. You can adjust multiple settings faster in the BIOS itself, and there's no need to boot into the OS first. I can see TouchBIOS...

To help make up for the lack of a proper EFI solution, GIGABYTE has given its Z68 users what it touts as being a "Hybrid EFI" - or in non-marketing speak, a piece of Windows software for interfacing with an old-school BIOS. We take TouchBIOS for a spin and see if it has what it takes to become a...

In a showing that's sure to make the performance of our desktop SSDs look inadequate, OCZ took advantage of the ongoing Computex event to show off one of its configurations that sets a new performance record. How does 1.5 million read IOPS sound? Or 1 million write IOPS? That's right...

After being left so impressed with Corsair's Obsidian 650D chassis last month, we couldn't wait to take the company's Special Edition White Graphite 600T for a spin to see if it could match or surpass our expectations. Though similar in design to the original, the SE White has a couple of...

[Deathspawner] If you had the Commander, Lighting module and then an H80 cooler, that'd be like a Link Triforce. [Deathspawner] That's what they should have called it. [Optix] It's gonna Hyrule!

ASUS isn't the only company showing off product at Computex that likes to combine things, it seems. OCZ, a company with a knack of doing some innovative things with solid-state storage, has done it once again with its 'RevoDrive Hybrid'. What could possibly be combined with an SSD, you ask...

If there's one thing we learned about ASUS at CES in January, it's that the company loves combining one gadget with another, offering unparalleled flexibility. At the Computex show in Taipei, Taiwan, the company furthered that fact with its announcement of "Padfone" - a device with a simple...

I've been a PC and console gamer all my life, kicking things off with a 286 and monochrome display for one, and the Nintendo Entertainment System for the other. In all these years of juggling both, I rarely used one platform's peripherals on the other. Sometimes it's due to laziness, other...

Aiming to provide mobile gamers with the best performance possible for the latest games, NVIDIA took advantage of the ongoing Computex show in Taipei, Taiwan, to announce its fastest 500-series mobile GPU to date, the GeForce GTX 560M. At the same time, the company announced another new...

As much as I hate to admit it, I never got too far into Hot Pursuit due to other games coming up. I hope to get into it as soon as I complete the current fleet of games I have going. Neither game is quite like the other though. Dirt 3 is excellent for off-road racing in the same way Hot...

Yes, that's the fault of MSI USA... and a big one as far as I'm concerned. That global URL shows a staggering sixteen boards while the URL I linked shows six... that's not a small difference. The problem is, I wasn't even aware that there was a global site, because each time I went to msi.com, I...

For those who have been waiting for the next great racer either on a console or the PC, Dirt 3's release last week was a welcomed one. Even more so after the reviews started pouring in with ratings averaging 90%. I was a little slow on the uptake to take the game for a test drive, but did...

In a bit of news that even Linux geeks will have a hard time getting excited over, Linus Torvalds has confirmed that the next release of the Linux kernel will be called 3.0. It didn't take long after 2.6.39's release when Linus began juggling the idea of calling the next release 3.0, and it...

Despite the article being well-written, thorough, and having created the best testing suite on the planet, I don't have a clue because of a couple factual errors? Your standards are high; I like it. That said, I did mess up here. Big Bang et al are not boards that are flashed in my face too...
