    Internet Explorer 9 to Use GPU to Speed up Browsing

    When you think of GPGPU, what first comes to mind? Video encoding? Image restoration? Password cracking? How about Internet browsing? It might seem silly at first, but Intel and Microsoft have teamed up to make sure that Web browsing with Internet Explorer 9 will be made a lot snappier thanks to...

    NVIDIA Releases its Budget GeForce GTS 450

    It might have taken a little bit longer than most gamers would have preferred, but NVIDIA today has unveiled its GTS 450 mainstream offering, based on the Fermi architecture. Up until now, the only options NVIDIA fans had was the choice of ~$200 offerings, but this release, priced at around...

    North Sea Jazz 2010 in Rotterdam, Holland

    Damn, man. When you were in Moncton, you were literally one hour from me, haha. It's good that you missed Earl... we were <em>supposed</em> to get hit hard here in New Brunswick, but didn't. Parts of Nova Scotia were slammed, with lots of power outages. Glad you enjoyed the trip to my neck of...

    Pick me some cans!

    I wish I could help with the choices here. I'm such an audio noob, and when I do look at cans to consider, they tend to be non-gamer models and a tad on the higher-end side. We really need to amp up our content around headsets... I can add cats to that list as well. Good idea on the open as...

    The Sleeper

    Ugh, that sounds like a major pain in the ass. On the other hand, they seem to do their job well, heh. That's another strange one. On my TJ10, I had an issue where some of the molex connectors that were behind there would cause the entire backside to bulge, and while it wasn't exactly that...

    North Sea Jazz 2010 in Rotterdam, Holland

    Geez, I thought I responded to your earlier posts a long time ago. *shakes head* I couldn't agree more here, although it's also kind of sad because it's at around this same point where Tiësto changed his style so starkly. He released a Blu-ray for the EoL world tour that took place in...

    Enabling Auto-Logon and the Administrator Account in Vista & 7

    I forgot all about that command! I'll need to edit that in, because it actually looks to do the exact same thing as "control userpasswords2", but in far less characters. Thanks for the tip!

    WD TV Live Plus Media Player

    Doh, I didn't even clue into that before, haha. Good point.:o I couldn't agree more. As I've only been dealing with these things for just over a month, I'm unfamiliar with the history of the WD TV, and thought that what I was reviewing was basically the first iteration. I think WD has a...

    AC Ryan Playon!HD mini Media Player

    AC Ryan was once known as a company to produce many different products used to spice up your PC, but well over a year ago, it launched its Playon!HD media player series, and recently, those players became available in the US. We're taking a look at the "mini" edition of the series, and see how...

    AC Ryan PlayonHD! mini unboxing

    There are a lot of websites out there that regularly do "unboxings", which are more or less the act of unboxing a product and showing the products in all their glory. Well, I don't think such a thing deserves to take the place of an actual piece of content, or even be found in our news section...

    Goddamn it Sony

    I have the ROM's and original games, but I just want them on the PSP. I like to game in quick bursts once in a while and don't want to rely on a single PC. PSPs are convenient :D

    Sapphire Select Club Launches $100,000 Contest

    Sapphire has launched what it calls its biggest contest ever, and given that the prizes total $100,000, that seems fair to say. Unlike most contests from GPU companies, there's no computer hardware here being awarded as prizes, but rather iPads, iPod touch's, and get this... Honda and Yamaha...

    Goddamn it Sony

    Tell me about it. Sony has a massive collection of games to unleash on PSN, and each week I look at the update list, I get disappointed. I still consider myself lucky that Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko was released there though. I'm still hoping Final Fantasy Anthology gets released. I really want to...

    Enabling Auto-Logon and the Administrator Account in Vista & 7

    Have you ever wanted to create an automatic logon for your Windows PC but couldn't find the option to do so? Or, on the disruptive side, have you ever found yourself without administrative access? We have... far too many times, and have decided to produce an article that offers up a slew of...

    Linux help for a wireless usb adapter

    I don't think I'll be a ton of use here since I am not familiar enough with ndiswrapper, but if it's indeed a module, you might want to search your computer to make sure that it actually exists and for your proper kernel. First thing is to load up a terminal and type in: uname -r Note the...

    Facebook Requires A Mobile Number To Access My Account?

    It's ironic, but last night I went to some Google service, and it asked me to use my mobile phone to help tie the account together. There were too options - either to do it, or "Ask me later", or something to that extent. I sure hope Google isn't going to be pressuring people into doing this as...

    Nikon Unveils its P7000 - A Point-and-Shoot with the Heart of a D-SLR

    Nikon unveiled a few releases earlier this week, including the S80 and S8100 advanced point-and-shoots, with an emphasis on style and performance. It was the P7000 (P for performance) that really caught my eye, though, because as Nikon states, it's a model that helps bridge the gap between D-SLR...

    Linux help for a wireless usb adapter

    I shouldn't have just assumed that you knew what all of those terms meant. You're using a distro meant for hacking, so I immediately got into the mindset that you might have known all of those terms already ;) ndiswrapper is a command-line tool that's used to configure a wireless adapter with...

    Google Gives Us Our Search Results Even Faster

    A couple of weeks ago, we linked to an Intel-sponsored survey that declared that most people do strange things when waiting for their technology to finish whatever it's doing, from loading up an e-mail to loading up a movie to generally anything that would cause you to sit there and twiddle your...
