PLEASE refrain from using such large fonts. That URL has stretched the forum ;-) There are a couple of reasons Apple had UEFI options long before others. The first is that it's Intel backed, and when Apple made the Intel move, adopting UEFI was a no-brainer. On the PC side of things, Intel...

The humorous thing is that most motherboards were seen at Computex, so there's not going to be a ton to look at there I don't think. Will see if we can find some Lian Li or chassis stuff in general. As for Lucid... I dunno. I'd like to see some major improvement made, but as it is, I think...

As Intel prepares to launch its Sandy Bridge microarchitecture next month, we're all preparing to see what it's going to bring to the table in terms of features and performance. On the platform side of things though, there's going to be something else to look out for... UEFI, also known as the...

It seems that things just got worse on the PlayStation 3 front for Sony, if reports are to be believed. At the Chaos Communication Congress held in Berlin, a group that goes by the name of "fail0verflow" gave proof of an exploit that gives full access to the PS3's hardware, enabling custom...

Microsoft might have the most popular desktop OS on the planet, but things are a bit different on the mobile side. There, Microsoft's competitors have been holding down the fort quite well, and it's been Redmond doing all of the catching up. The launch of Windows Phone 7 did do well to...

CES must be some boring to garner such a lack of response!

I'm curious about the true stability of these things over the course of a couple of weeks or even months, though. It's one thing to do the mod and then run a benchmark and call it 100%, but it's another to do the mod and have it fail down the road. The HD 6970 DOES have an 8-pin connector, for...

Right on schedule, the latest iteration of the Consumer Electronic Show is set to begin next week, and as usual, we'll be there to check out the sites and report on all that's important and interesting. One of the best parts of CES is that it gives us all a clear idea of what to expect from the...

When Microsoft released its Kinect a couple of months ago, it rounded out the available selection of "motion" peripherals from all three of the major players. I admit, I wasn't too impressed with Kinect, and I wrote an article to explain why. One thing about Kinect does impress me however... all...

Love movies in a downloadable format? If so, a new service dubbed "Alphaline Entertainment" might be worth a perusal. It comes from an unexpected company, Sears Holdings, and will be run on behalf of both Sears and Kmart. Powering the back-end is Sonic Solutions' "RoxioNow" software, and as...

Haha, oh man. I'm going to have that tune stuck in my head for weeks.

As we head even further into our digital age, it seems that optical media is soon to become a thing of the past. If and when it does go the way of the dodo, how are we bound to remember it 10, 20 or 30 years down the road? For many Americans, the first thought to come to mind might contain three...

Fark, a site known for posting some hilarious headlines about current events, has just posted its roundup of the "best headlines" for 2010. Some are classic, such as... "Driving Instructor Critical After Student Crashes." What did the student expect, compliments? "Fat butts may be healthy...

Since Futuremark released the latest version of its 3DMark benchmark, "11", over 200,000 submissions have been entered into the central database, and I'm sure that number will hit 1,000,000 before we know it. Earlier this month, we took a hard look at the latest version, and overall were...

By most definitions, AMD's Radeon HD 6900 graphics cards are powerful, but for those who are looking to push huge resolutions, a little more oomph might be desired. That's where multi-GPU configurations come in, and to see what AMD's latest are capable of, we've tested out both the HD 6950 and...

Perhaps it'd be a good idea to wait a month and see where things stand with Sandy Bridge, because you might be tempted to upgrade to that platform. The CPUs might not be a tremendous upgrade, but the motherboards are going to be more robust than ever. Not to mention, you'd be able to take full...

DIII is a good one. Deep down I'm looking for games my brother would also play, and he HATES games like Diablo, so those are out of the question. A friend of mine mentioned some other games though... like Serious Sam and Tom Clancy's... completely forgot about these both. My brother is SO...

That IS irritating, ugh. I always wondered if Steam would do that, and now I have my answer.

You do love catching me on that stuff! No clue how I overlooked it :|

Who doesn't love looking at PCs that have been modded to the nines? I sure do, but I admit that I'm not one to go out and search for them, nor do I get that excited at reading through a billion page build log. Rather, I love seeing modded PC roundups, and like clockwork, UK tech site Bit-Tech...
