I didn't get online until last night (also beat the game last night, still quite challenging on Hardened, haha), and I started to gather what kind of lag people were talking about. I'd often have a 50~60ms ping time, and on occasion, I'd have the entire game client seize up and then let go after...

If you knew that the writer of a game review you just read was treated to some good times by the company during the review process, would you trust them? This is a subject that Ars Technica has been infatuated with the past couple of months, especially with regards to how Activision has treated...

It's clear to me that stuff like this goes on, but are you saying it also goes on where mainstream porn is concerned? I'm not familiar with the videos here, but it can be assumed that the actors/actresses aren't being forced into doing the films... if that were the case, I couldn't imagine...

We've talked a fair bit about file-sharing on the site before and the repercussions it can hold, but in all we've discussed, it's usually on the subject of music or movies. As it seems, though, it looks like those who really should be watching their backs are those who download pornography, as...

Here's a good lessen that in some countries, it's apparently illegal to break into a virtual house! “I don’t think it matters that the flat only exists in Facebook, it is real to me and I have suffered a real loss,” said Paola Letizia, the victimized digital homeowner. She claims to have...

You buying it? Let me know if you ever want to play! Great deal by the way... total steal. Great game, but I'm not sure how much it's played today.

NVIDIA launched its first Fermi-based GPU earlier this year in the form of the GeForce GTX 480, and it was met with mixed reception. Until now, it's been the fastest single-GPU offering on the market, but certain downsides kept it from being the first-choice of many. Does NVIDIA's first proper...

Newegg had those cards on sale about 12 hours before embargo lift. This is one launch were I don't think think an embargo made sense...more than one company broke it, and everyone almost knew everything about them leading up to it.

Ahh, isn't this just the best time of year? No, it's not because of the weather, or the upcoming holidays, or the fact that we all ate too much candy in recent weeks. No, this is the best time of year because it's when most of the biggest games of the year get released, and gamers are faced with...

So... who's getting it? I'll be diving in as soon as I can, being that I'm a bit of a CoD addict. I'd like to get a review for the game up as soon as possible, since reviews like that tend to write themselves ;-) I also plan to play a good deal on the weekend if any of you guys want to hook...

Even that solution has some fault as far as I'm concerned. If the entire kit is $200, then each one of these plates is no doubt going to be about $100. Then there's the problem of upgrading to a new GPU leaving the old GPU cooler-less (unless you retained the original). I just don't see the...

You're right... I see it in another review of the board as well. Talk about an oversight.

At this past weekend's PDXLAN 16.5 event, Tom Petersen, NVIDIA's Director of Technical Marketing, decided to give people in attendance a preview of what's to come from the company. This included some slides of features that its upcoming GPU would be offering, and though he couldn't specify which...

As rumor has it, Intel's Sandy Bridge processors are set to be launched this coming January, but aside from that, there are few other specifics known about them, especially with launch specs and pricing. Due to a "mess-up" at one UK e-tailer, though, it does look like we have a baseline to go...

NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 470 is one of the better GPU offerings on the market right now, but it's also one of the hottest. It's for that reason that after-market coolers exist, although few get quite as high-end as CoolIT's Omni A.L.C. - and the ~$200 price tag proves it. Given that price, let's...

I'm not positive, but could it have been at the same time that Opera became free? It became free because of Google, but I am not sure if it had a Google search box prior to that. Sorry :-/ http://www.opera.com/press/releases/2005/09/20/...

Over the years, we've posted a fair number of news items regarding various aspects of piracy, and though there have been different subjects to tackle, there's been a common theme. If it's a single person we're talking about on the opposite side of the RIAA, the outcome is rarely desirable. In...

After we posted our in-depth look at AMD's Radeon HD 6800 graphics cards a couple of weeks ago, we took a look at what NVIDIA's radar may look like, to see what the company might do to steal back some of AMD's thunder. It's not that AMD released the best single-GPU card on the market, but from a...

The more I look at that P67A-UD7... the more I really want it. It might just be one of the best-looking boards I've ever seen.

With the three major console developers having launched their respective motion technologies, the hungry demand for games that get people out of their chairs is being fed. But does that mean that current implementations are perfect? I don't think so, and attempt to explain the reasons why...
