    What 90's FPS Titles Would You Like to See Remade?

    PC gaming during the 90s was great. Games might not have had the graphics we see today, but most of them had heart and were great fun to play. On the FPS side of things, there were many instant-classic titles that PC gamers from that era have fond memories of, and many of today's gamers might...

    Viacom Adds Itself to List of Publishers to Block Google TV

    Google TV, launched last month, was created to become the ultimate solution for TV viewing in the digital home. Google isn't the type of company to take any one of its products lightly, so it was of little surprise to see other large companies backing up the platform, including Logitech with its...

    Fusion-io Breaks 1 Million IOPS with ioDrive Octal

    For as long as there has been PCI Express-based solid-state drives, there has been Fusion-io. The company first emerged a couple of years ago to a huge amount of uncertainty. It was delivering a product no one was sure of, but it didn't take long before others, including OCZ Technology on the...

    Microsoft Supportive of Open-Source Kinect Projects?

    Not long after the launch of Microsoft's Kinect motion-sensing peripheral for the Xbox 360, some creative hardware hackers got down to business and had the device function with a PC. The progress there is still in the earliest of stages, but the potential is huge. Given the major advantages the...

    Would You Go to a Concert to Watch a Hologram?

    Have you ever seen a piece of cool piece of tech that seemed to serve no real purpose? Here's one example of something I think fits the bill... a hologram concert. No, it's not music being presented in Klingon, but rather something that Japan - no surprise - is leading the trail on. There's been...

    Should Retailers Stop Selling Games that Require Steam?

    A couple of weeks ago, news got out that certain UK retailers were planning to stop selling games that require Valve's Steam platform to play, citing that by selling such games to their customers, they'd essentially be sending them to a competitor. Being that Steam is getting bigger and bigger...

    In the TG Lab: NETGEAR's N600 WNDR3700 Router

    In an iteration of "In the TG Lab" I posted last month, I talked a bit about the network card that would become a crucial part of our NAS box testing, Intel's I340. At the time, I wasn't quite settled on which router could become the second half of the equation, but thanks to a recommendation in...

    The motherboard... it is small.

    Better that than them ship the boards with no SATA cable!

    Hilarious BC2 Kill

    That's a matter of opinion ;-) BC2 bored me so bad after a couple of hours that I shelved the game. All the while, I've gamed online with BO about 10 hours so far. It's all a matter of tastes.

    Asus's Sabertooth P67 Sandy Bridge Motherboard has a Tactical Vest

    All it does is direct airflow towards the hottest areas, I believe. I'd rather see the components regardless... I've never noticed parts of the board (aside from CPU and bridges) get so hot that I thought a solution like this was ever needed.

    Using Amazon's EC2 Service to Crack Passwords

    I should note that the charsets used are mentioned there, contrary to my original text. I completely overlooked it because it looked like an ad. Gotta not do that.

    A Look at Upcoming ASUS H67 & P67 Motherboards

    ASUS has some great stuff in the pipe :D It's sad that we couldn't talk about UEFI though... that is so pimp.

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580

    I'll work on getting this done ASAP. Came back from the trip sick as a dog, so will do it as soon as I can bend over and not feel like falling down.

    ASUS Disk Unlocker - Beyond the 2TB Limit

    Let me make sure I get this (I am still sick, so if I'm off base I am blaming that). With this solution, you have two drives listed in "My Computer", but both are essentially the same? I don't really see the point to be honest. It's a minor benefit over simply setting it up as a 2TB and 1TB...

    OnLive Game Console Announced

    This is never meant to replace a PC for PC gamers, but be a solution for console gamers who want PC games. I don't see it taking off to be honest. Everyone I know who's tested it out said it was never that fluid (slight lag), so that kind of kills of for me. It's a cool idea, but perhaps better...

    AMD's GPUTube.com Brings us Humorous Marketing

    Patriots vs. Colts

    I lent out the larger lense :( I'll make it up with this story. Friends and I spent a couple of days in the heart of Boston, and on Sunday morning checked out of the hotel and went to the car to head to Foxboro for the game. Being that I was wearing a Manning jersey in Boston, I knew that...

    Patriots vs. Colts

    Here are a couple more pictures. The fist bump picture is with my friend Chris.

    Patriots vs. Colts

    I've been long overdue forever, but this past weekend, I saw my first NFL game, featuring the Indianapolis Colts (favorite team) and New England Patriots (rival team). Friends I went with are massive Pats fans, so you could say I was taunted a lot! In the end, the Colts lost by literally one...

    Using Amazon's EC2 Service to Crack Passwords

    Ask NVIDIA if its graphics cards can do more than just handle the latest games at the best detail settings, and I'm sure it could go on for days about all of the advantages GPGPU technology offers anyone that has one of its graphics cards. Up to this point, though, consumers still don't seem to...
