This past spring, we posted a couple of in-depth looks at AMD's Eyefinity technology, with both 3x1 and 3x2 monitor configurations, and throughout posting those, a common "complaint" I heard from people is that such setups are just not that realistic at the end of the day. But, I'm not so sure...

Sega has made some stupid decisions, like with the copious number of add-ons for the Genesis, but the Dreamcast was different. It wasn't some cheap gimmicky console... it offered a ton of great games and had graphics on par with the PlayStation 2... if not even better. I remember taking a look...

It's true that there's no such thing as "bad press", but this is just absurd. On one hand, I like the fact that the service might not be dead, but on the other, I don't think customers like to be screwed around with. It's not like this was a free service - it's one that a lot of people sunk a...

Just got this e-mail from them... it's seeming like more and more of a joke to me. We'd like to invite you to a GOG.com online press conference concerning recent events, which will take place on Wednesday, September 22 at 12 p.m. EDT (6 p.m. CET) at http://www.transmisjeonline.pl/gogconference...

It's widely speculated that this is nothing more than a marketing ploy, because they released a video that hardly looks like a "shutting down" video. Some thing that this is how they chose to come out of "beta", but if so, it's the stupidest marketing ploy ever. But I can't help but want it to...

Ugh, this sucks. Posted about it here: http://techgage.com/news/good_old_games_closes_shop/

With our media collections growing larger by the day, it's sad to look at a 2TB hard drive and picture it as not being "large enough" for our goods. To help remedy things a bit, Seagate recently released a 3TB external drive, and it today remains the only 3TB single drive offering. Let's take a...

During last night's football game (GO COLTS!), I kept seeing a commercial from some cable provider that offered a service where TV could be streamed to your mobile device, like a phone or iPad. The example in the commercial showed people sitting in a diner watching a football game on their...

I am just curious here. I like to OC, but personally, my main PC isn't overclocked at all. The reason is just because the CPU is pre-release and doesn't overclock worth a damn. If I did have a decent CPU, I'm sure I'd OC the heck out of it, especially since I've been doing a lot of video...

If the PSU buzzed the entire time the unit was powered on, that'd be a major problem, but just during powering it off, it's probably nothing major. Might want to check the grounding, but even if that's not the problem, it could be something minor with one of the coils. I had similar issues with...

I agree 100%. I just took a look at the AC Ryan Playon!HD mini, and it has the stark opposite... a huge remote. And while I do prefer it over WD's option, I find it to be overkill, because there are like 30 buttons, but I'll never use more than 10. The remote with ASUS' O!Play was almost...

Whoa, that's nice. A CPU at 4GHz and the entire machine runs at just 130W peak? That's quite the setup!

If there's any good to come from that debacle, it's that right there. You and I are quite different, because you don't enjoy the modularity idea, but I do. I like to take a piece of software and build it from the ground up, but I can completely understand why some people wouldn't. As...

There are a lot of options out there, so it's just a matter of price, aesthetics, and function. I think a lot of those cases will offer room for at least two hard drives, but I'm not certain. Are you looking for a clean look, or more of a gamer-esque design? I wish I had more knowledge on HTPC...

It's not often that an upcoming Internet Explorer release is called "potentially ground-breaking" or even "important", but where IE 9 is concerned, that's just the case. It's no secret that Internet Explorer has commonly been loathed by Web designers and users alike, and it seems like Microsoft...

When building an HTPC, SFF PC or something similar, a goal that many people share is to build it as power-efficient as possible. With both AMD and Intel constantly developing more efficient processors, and even selling special energy-efficient models, it's become easier to do that. Even hard...

In any market, technology-related or not, there's going to be some form of strong competition. At the same time, it's a given that one company is going to boast about being better than another, even if it's a matter of opinion and something that can't be concluded as fact. But what's not so...

Although we've had the capability of adding USB 3.0 support to our PCs for almost a year, the number of capable devices coming to market isn't that great. But as we've seen with previous looks at such devices, such as OCZ's Enyo, the benefits are clear, as the transfer speed abilities are much...

Your "bloat" comparisons are a little off the mark. We're talking about software, not an object that consists of real materials. You can't simply go to your garage and click a button to install or uninstall a sunroof in your car, but you can click a button to enable or disable a feature in a...

That's VERY cool. I wasn't sure what was meant by "reader", but that's quite interesting. It could be a problem with the user, sure, but I couldn't agree more with the previous poster in that things should be optional, not a given. Personally, I use a Linux distribution that's for the most...
