It's kind of overkill, but it's a great NIC, and offers four ports which will be nice if I ever want to have four high-speed connections at once. Plus, it's the reliability factor I'm after the most... on-board NICs are ridiculous, and even just the other day, I was scared that both of them on...

Doomsday, you haven't played a Valve game ever!? You should do yourself a favor and at least play Half-Life 2... it's an epic game, and goes on sale from time to time. Could never get into Borderlands... not sure why. Simply getting into the game felt like a pain in the ass though. I'm sure...

That is AWESOME. Is something like that even legal though?

I am so anti-Canadian... I don't care about hockey in the least. I used to, growing up, but by the time that major strike happened, I lost all interest for some reason. Wish I could share your enthusiasm :D It's great to be so hardcore into a sport. There are enough Canadians on this...

Have you ever tried to add a network folder to a Windows Vista or 7 library, but couldn't properly map it? Or even worse, have Windows completely ignore its files via the built-in indexer? Well, there <em>are</em> fixes, and all are counter-intuitive. Until Microsoft "fixes" this issue, we'll...

So, I settled on a network card... the Intel Server Adapter I340: http://www.intel.com/Products/Server/Adapters/esa-i340/esa-i340-overview.htm It's quite beefed up and should last me quite a while. I like the fact that it's PCI Express-based... that's a nice perk. It'll also be good if I...

In the US, movie lovers have been able to enjoy the services offered by Netflix for over ten years. But despite living in a country literally fused onto the US, Canadians had to wait quite a while... with the service having just launched a couple of weeks ago. Though I've been the type of person...

In celebration of the recent "The Sacrifice" DLC launch for Left for Dead 1 and 2, Valve is offering an incredible deal on both titles. Own the first, but not the second? Valve is offering its latest and greatest Zombie shooter for a mere $6.79 USD. Don't own either? You can pick both up for...

Thanks for the URLs :D Posted a story about it to the front page: http://techgage.com/news/nvidia_begins_selling_self-branded_cards_at_best_buy/

The latest Apple TV media streamer is here, and unlike the original that launched in 2007, this one has a lot of competition. It features a super-small frame, fantastic iTunes movie rental and Netflix support, a clean-looking and smooth-operating interface and overall good performance. But can...

That is ridiculous. He had no aim, whatsoever. It looks like he just closed his eyes and hurled it the best he could. Damn mother nature.

Doh, thanks for cluing me in, eunoia. I didn't realize that these were upgrades and not full versions, but even so, the deal still kicks ass. Upgrade copies of Home Premium are still $119.99, so it's like adding two more copies for $30. Hard to beat that. No clue why there'd be a delay to offer...

Like clockwork, Valve has once again updated the Steam "Hardware & Software Survey", its useful report on the hardware and software gamers are equipped with. It's been a couple of months since I last checked things out, and I'm a bit surprised at a couple of trends, and also the addition of a...

Remember that "Family Pack" offering of Windows 7 that Microsoft taunted us all with close to the OS' launch, and then pulled not too long after? Well, when the deal ceased to exist, there were many perturbed people, and for good reason. The deal is excellent, and I'm not sure anyone knew just...

Alright... this is interesting. Kyle from [H] went to his local Best Buy and happened upon a couple of NVIDIA GPUs for sale, and no, it's not what you think. These were -direct- cards, as in, in NVIDIA boxes. No EVGA, no XFX... just NVIDIA...

I am so tempted to take advantage of this one: http://makeprojects.com/Project/Homemade-Bacon/218/1

Before you try to answer that question, it might help to appreciate the entire scenario. Would you pay $30 for a brand-spanking new release - as in, not even available on DVD or Blu-ray - via an on-demand service? Oh, and it should be emphasized that this would be a $30 rental... gone once you...

In the past couple of years, notebook PCs have improved in numerous ways. Namely, with a combination of price and performance. Not to mention features. When I think back to a $3,000 notebook I purchased in 2004, I can't help but shake my head, because today, you can get a truly efficient...

Ran into a show-stopping bug that's preventing me from completing the review. For whatever reason, the Apple TV just won't connect to my PC that has iTunes running, even though it can see it fine. Home Sharing is on as well... that's been double and triple checked. Might have to install Windows...

So... last week, Mafia II saw some "brand-new" DLC, and this time, I'd call it overboard. There are four separate packs that include clothes and cars, but one in particular that bugs me is the "Greaser Pack": http://store.steampowered.com/app/67330/ Why? Because there is a car there that you...
