At the risk of fanning the flames, I'm in the same camp as Jamie. I don't think it was karma that caused this to happen (I don't believe in it), but at the same time I don't feel bad for Sony, either. Not after how it's treated its customers the past couple of years, by putting itself first, and...

Of all the components we shove into our PCs, the hardest to keep cool is the graphics card. With current models easily able to reach 80°C or higher at full load, purchasing an after-market cooler can be tempting. GELID has just a single GPU cooler model, the Rev. 2 Icy Vision, so let's see...

As we discussed in our news on Friday, Sony pulled its PlayStation Network service offline in the middle of last week due to a problem that arose - but until today, that problem has been kept secret. Though speculation ran rampant that a DDoS was the source of the problem, the worst possible...

I blame the fact that Nintendo released a circa 2002 console in 2005 - but one with motion. They need an update a lot more than Sony or Microsoft do.

It's rather insane that the service is still down, but for the most part, it seems most people (at least in the comments I've viewed) have been mostly understanding. It'd sure suck to be a PSN gamer right now, though...

That's for sure. Even though I beat Portal 2, I feel like going right back in for a second playthrough, and the hilarious dialog is the main reason why.

Good to hear from you man; please come around more often! That DOES look good, I admit. I always found Gmail to be hugely clunky, and hate dealing with it (but do since our own mail server is not so great). If I could set up an account there similar to how I have it set up at Gmail, I'd...

No kidding! Even with the other couple of oversights with the chassis, that one is kind of mind-boggling. It's too bad, too, since we had huge expectations from this chassis. Good to see you around, by the way!

As there exist at least three different USB device connectors (mini, micro and USB 3), there would be no such thing as a "universal" offering. However, I don't think Greg meant "universal" in a literal sense, but rather meant that it's just used all over the place, which it is. Most phones and...

We posted about a rumor last week that Nintendo would be announcing the Wii successor in the "weeks" ahead, but thanks to the official announcement made this morning in Japan, there wasn't too much waiting involved at all. Though still sparse on details, Nintendo did verify that the console...

The sub-$100 chassis market is filled to the brim with selection, with the $70 price-point in particular being a total hotspot. AZZA, a relative new-comer to the chassis game, has a wide-variety of models available, with its $70 Toledo 301 being the most recent. Let's dive right in, and see if...

Happy birthday, man! And I agree, he needs to show up here more often :D

It turns out Android phones do the same thing, except the data is a lot harder to access: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2011/04/android-phones-keep-location-cache-too-but-its-harder-to-access.ars

It appears that Sony's PlayStation Network, the service required for all online play (and the PSN store), has been down for the past couple of days, and sadly has no resolution in sight. Sony has stated that it is investigating the issue, and was up front with the prolonged downtime, by...

When Logitech released its Revolution MX nearly five years ago, it delivered a mouse that impressed - and for good reason. It featured a great design that was both comfortable and attractive, and had a very effective hyper scroll wheel. With the Performance MX, a natural progression has been...

I couldn't agree more. To be honest, a lot of the time the data wouldn't be up-to-date, given you have to sync with iTunes to get the information on the PC, but even so... there's a lot of information about someone being stored here, and it's just not right. For personal use, it'd be actually...

I wonder if these problems are related to the fact that the cards are indeed 2+ gens old. I tend to use up-to-date hardware, and when I last used NVIDIA's drivers for a long time (likely about three years), I never ran into issues like what you mention. Check your PMs, by the way... sent you...

XP machines don't support those Aero gadgets. And as sad as it is, this is one of the more useful gadgets I've seen :-|

In March, Microsoft launched a campaign that would see the end of Internet Explorer 6 usage, and as we can now see, the company has added yet another aging software product to its list: Windows XP. To help countdown the official end-of-support date for XP, or encourage its desmise, Microsoft...

For those who have been holding out for a WHQL (stable) release of NVIDIA's GeForce 270 driver, the wait is over. The company earlier this week released version 270.61, which features a couple of new features and many performance enhancements. We covered a of this in an article at the end of...
