    PlayStation Phone Looks to be Real

    The prospective "PlayStation Phone" has been a popular topic in recent months, but thanks to a couple of videos released over the past weekend, the "rumor" tag can rightfully turned into "fact". I'm not sure of the source of these videos, as they were uploaded to YouTube under a moniker, but...

    ati blue screen

    There could be a lot of reasons this is happening. One is that the driver could be out-of-date (it's recommended you go download the latest one from game.amd.com). Two, the card might possibly be dirty, causing it to overheat and resulting in such errors. Third, the card might be on its way out...

    Since When Did ECS Get Hardcore?

    I haven't used an ECS product in a while, but a couple of years ago I compared them to being an Intel with a little bit of extra. The boards weren't the greatest, didn't overclock the greatest, but were still a bit better than Intel's offerings at the time. Not sure what's changed since then. I...

    Charitable build for a Christmas Angel wish

    LOL! I was about to ask for pics also, but that logic makes sense. Either way, we can imagine the expressions :D

    Charitable build for a Christmas Angel wish

    I'm hoping the same thing won't be an issue. I'll follow-up next week with Thermaltake to see where things stand.

    VPS: What It Is and How It's Useful

    We've talked a fair bit about home virtualization in the past, but now we're going to take a different turn and tackle VPSs, or "Virtual Private Servers". In essence, a VPS is a virtual machine in the cloud, allowing you to log in from anywhere and gain nearly full control over a remote machine...

    WikiLeaks

    Well, the main person accused of being behind most of these leaks is being dealt with by the US government. What will become of it, no one knows. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrest_of_Bradley_Manning

    WikiLeaks

    I'm starting to get tired of hearing about WikiLeaks, but I'm wondering what you guys think about the entire situation? The site last week, as promised, began releasing a bunch of classified/secret documents, and while some people see this as being a freedom of speech, others see it as a major...

    Thermaltake is willing to donate a CPU cooler, PSU, keyboard and mouse. Let me know if any of those parts have already be donated so I can tell it what to send you.

    Level 3 vs. Comcast Tale Gets Even More Interesting

    We reported yesterday that Internet backbone company Level 3 brought a dispute with Comcast public, claiming that the company was going against net neutrality principles by charging Level 3 extra for video streaming traffic. Since then, Comcast has spoken up about the situation, while Level 3...

    If A GPU & A NIC Had A Baby...

    Alright, I need to figure out how on earth I can make it so large images don't break the forums... Edit: Found a solution, finally. This is an interesting concept. At first, I thought, "What the...?", but after more thinking, it DOES kind of make sense in certain situations. This would allow...

    Comcast Target of Net Neutrality Accusation

    No, those issues are separate. The thing Comcast was accused of doing was throttling BitTorrent traffic, meaning that when downloading files via that method, speeds would be degraded. It'd be like downloading a torrent at 100Kb/s instead of the 1MB/s that your connection allows. I'm not sure...

    Roku XD Media Player

    To be honest, as a Canadian also, I'd never consider purchasing this. It's designed to be a streaming device, and as most of the services it offers is unavailable to Canadians, it'd be like purchasing a skeleton unit. Even then, nothing says that the Netflix feature would even work in Canada...

    Comcast Target of Net Neutrality Accusation

    If Internet content provider Level 3 is to be believed, Comcast, the largest Internet/Cable provider in the US, might be in the midst of a real net neutrality test. According to Level 3, which delivers a lot of the Internet's content to Comcast subscribers, Comcast has demanded a deal be settled...
