    Mozilla's Firefox 4 Greeted to Good Reception

    After having used Chrome for about nine months, it feels good to be back with Firefox. I do hate the fact that the GUI is not as refined in Linux as it is in Windows, though. Fortunately, themes negate that problem. There are a lot of things about Firefox I loved that I didn't even realize...

    Diskeeper 11 Released; Introduces 'Instant Defrag' and 'Efficient Mode'

    First and foremost, that quote told me that I don't do a good enough job on proof-reading... I need to up my game. If there's overhead, I'd have to imagine it's quite minimal, though it might be good for a test (how this could be benchmarked, I have no idea). I admit I am not totally familiar...

    Record Companies Sue Limewire for $75 Trillion

    Yup... proof that a case like this should be thrown right out and those who came up with this settlement be checked for mental stability.

    Intel Releases 'Light Peak' as 'Thunderbolt'; Offers 10Gbps Speeds

    I do kind of wish Intel chose a different name for this tech... just take a look at how many things have been called Thunderbolt. After Intel announced this, I saw commercials or Web mentioned of two completely non-related products also called Thunderbolt... it's kind of nuts.

    Tt eSPORTS BLACK Gaming Mouse Review

    Well, I was listening to Cash while editing the article, and when reviewing a mouse called BLACK... come on! The description for the article is meant to sync with the end of the Man in Black: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXRmJyIyJbM&t=2m45s

    Tt eSPORTS BLACK Gaming Mouse Review

    I have to agree with this. Though to be fair, a LOT of mice don't appeal to me right off the bat. In fact, sometimes I'm an outright hypocrite. In my June 2006 review of Logitech's G3, I said: "After becoming spoiled with the 'fits like a glove' design of the MX 518, I know I could not handle...

    Western Digital VelociRaptor 600GB

    Jamie did a good job explaining what Diskeeper 11 is all about. When compared to the built-in defragger in Windows, there's just no comparison. Diskeeper allows you to have the "set it and forget" Ronco mentality, because you can quite literally prepare it once, and let it handle itself from...

    Kingston Releases Important Firmware Fix for SSDNow V100 Solid-State Drives

    It's good to see Kingston being so open about the problem... gotta respect the folks there for that.

    Report Claims Piracy Doesn't Affect Music Creation

    I can back up the claim that music creation has not suffered. I still beatbox in private as much as I used to.

    Tt eSPORTS BLACK Gaming Mouse Review

    "Ah, I'd love to use a high DPI mouse, every day - And kick major ass in every game I play - But until I get another, where the sensor doesn't lack - I'll do what I can, and use the mouse called BLACK." You can read through Jamie's in-depth look at Thermaltake's latest gaming mouse and then...

    AMD HD 6950 1GB vs. NVIDIA GTX 560 Ti Overclocking

    Unless I mention a brand directly, you can assume that the board being tested is reference :-) I'll make sure this is obvious in the future. What's nice is that the cooler that came with the reference HD 6950 was rather standard, so anything third-party on the market should be able to deliver...

    Here's the exact kind of packaging the CPU was stored in:

    Nah, I was the one who shipped this. That CPU never left its Intel-specific box since I posted the review for it. Will post what the box looks like later when I have time... it's not an off-the-shelf thing.

    Diskeeper 11 Released; Introduces 'Instant Defrag' and 'Efficient Mode'

    Solid-state storage may dominate the headlines more often than most HDD vendors would like, and TRIM may have negated the need for a proper defrag, but Diskeeper, with its "11" version, reminds us that our lowly mechanical drives are still prone to slowdown over time, whether at home, or in...

    Doh, first news post made with Firefox after using Chrome for 9 months. Thanks Jamie for fixing it ;-)

    Is Intel Giving up on Itanium? It's Doubtful

    On Tuesday, Oracle issued a press release in which it announced the end of its support for Intel's enterprise-level Itanium processors. On the surface, an announcement like this from a company like Oracle is none-too-surprising, but going even further, the company stated the reason was due...
