    Smartphone vs Pavement

    I hate to admit it, but I can't help but laugh at this. You managed to shatter a phone within TWELVE hours of owning it... that has to be some sort of record! For what it's worth, the non-shattered parts of the display look good! :D

    Record Companies Sue Limewire for $75 Trillion

    In what might be the most ridiculous demand for damages ever witnessed, various companies in the recording industry are mass-suing file-sharing service Limewire for a total of $75 trillion. Yes, trillion... as in 75 followed by 12 zeros. Does the entire world's wealth added together even amount...

    Mozilla's Firefox 4 Greeted to Good Reception

    After months of delays, Mozilla has finally released its Firefox 4 Web browser, and so far it has already accrued over 8 million downloads. Generally, if a product's release date keeps getting pushed back, it makes it even harder for the end-result to live up to the hype. Is Firefox 4 an...

    Duke Nukem Forever Multiplayer Modes Revealed, Bitchslap and All

    Ahh, good catch. The way I read it, it sounded like it WAS a slap to the face (seems a little difficult to slap an ass with your hands full like that, though). Either way, it's a truly bizarre feature.

    Upgrading the TG Lab: Corsair's Force Solid-State Drives

    I have thumb drives larger than 16GB! I am not sure that'd be worth even considering to be honest. I just installed Windows 7 fresh the other day, and my C:\Windows folder is 16.7GB. Perhaps that's larger than usual for some reason, but that SSD would leave literally no breathing room at all.

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti Review

    I noticed that also, and it doesn't make an ounce of sense. I don't think our current method of measuring power is ideal, but it's been made a lot tougher with the power scheme improvements on both AMD's and NVIDIA's latest cards. We're going to be updating our entire GPU suite soon, and will...

    Duke Nukem Forever Multiplayer Modes Revealed, Bitchslap and All

    I still can't believe I said "Bitchslap" in a news post.

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti Review

    Catering to those who demand great GPU performance for a modest price, NVIDIA has launched its $130 GeForce GTX 550 Ti. Compared to the GTS 450 which it replaces, the GTX 550 Ti delivers faster performance, a beefier memory bus and what NVIDIA touts as being one of the best performance per watt...

    Upgrading the TG Lab: Corsair's Force Solid-State Drives

    On occasion, we post a news feature called "In the TG Lab", and in it, we give a quick preview of a product that we're soon to publish an in-depth look on. There's also been a couple of times when we've posted these features talking about products that we were adopting into our test suites, but...

    Futuremark Announces PCMark 7

    It's been a little while since we've last seen a PCMark update, so it might have been assumed that Futuremark got caught up with its other products and had forgotten about it. Not so, as proven today with an announcement of PCMark 7, a full suite dedicated to testing the overall performance of...

    Pepsi Introduces Bottle Developed from 100% Plant Material

    I don't care much for soda either, but there's only one way to make a rum and Coke ;-)

    Cubitek Launches Magic Cube Modular Chassis

    Taiwan-based Cubitek, an old player with a new name in the chassis market, has launched its Magic Cube. While the name of the product may not make one sit up and take notice, the design should, seeing how components are housed in three separate aluminum chassis. Read the rest of our post...

    Sony SMP-N100 Media Player Review

    Overall, the product has potential, but I think Sony goofed up bad in a couple of areas. I mean, what's the real excuse for giving people a free app, but then putting ads inside of it? That's a little insulting to the person who just spent their hard-earned cash on this device. Could you imagine...

    Sony SMP-N100 Media Player Review

    Among the mass of set-top media players available on the market, can one of the most well-respected electronics companies set itself apart from the crowd? With Sony's SMP-N100, we aim to find out. On the surface, the device looks similar to others, but inside, Sony's popular XMB interface...

    Lamptron FC Touch Fan Controller Review

    Think fan controllers are boring? You haven't seen Lamptron's FC Touch, then. This is a unit that's encapsulates three important factors. It looks great, is powerful, and is simple to use. It can power up to 6x 30W fans, and it has a touch screen that's reliable and does just what is promised...

    Ubisoft Caught Pirating Itself... Again

    Like Kougar said, I think the thing Ubisoft is promoting is uber-laziness. There's just no excuse for something like this.

    Overclocking Intel's Core i5-750 & i7-870

    Yes, that should work just fine. Be aware that our chips are different, though, so your overclock using those settings might not be 100% stable. If not, you could tweak a little bit, either by lowering the overclock a bit or raising the voltage (I wouldn't really recommend going much beyond...

    What Makes Your 'Favorite' Browser Your Favorite?

    I have no problem with the concept of vertical bars; they just don't serve a purpose for me. It's rare if I have more than eight tabs open, so horizontal tabs are fine. I don't understand the reason people need to keep so many tabs to be open, honestly. Either deal with the page that's open for...

    Pepsi Introduces Bottle Developed from 100% Plant Material

    Well this is what I'm wondering as well. Are they recyclable or compostable? Pepsi conveniently didn't mention this. One could hope that they are one or the other though, because it'd be a MAJOR step back if not.
