    StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is Out!

    What's that sound? Ahh, it's of course the millions of gamers looking to be the first to hit 300 APM in StarCraft II, of course! That's right, StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is officially released, and the servers are live. I personally know of a few people who headed out for midnight launches...

    Quick impression of the HAF X

    Last month, I made a post regarding tentative changes to our graphics card test suite, and also mentioned that some of our hardware would be upgraded. At that time, I contemplated moving the parts into a new chassis, and after cluing into the fact that the TJ10 simply does not support...

    Quick Impressions of openSUSE 11.3

    As far as I'm aware, all of the popular desktop environments are available in openSUSE, including Enlightenment (E17). To be honest though, as nice as some of those environments are, I just can't get used to them due to their minimalist goals. I'm not a fan of bloat, but I've come to like KDE...

    Using different overclocking settings with CrystalCPUID

    Nice write-up man! I love the fact that the overclocks can be configured simply by double-clicking the shortcuts for them... that's keen. If someone really wanted to, they could even make hotkeys out of each shortcut and configure the overclock with just a few keystrokes. Oh boy, another...

    How many blades on a razor is too many?

    Getting hair caught in the blades is frustrating, but I find it's even more frustrating that the blades themselves don't seem to last long at all. I blame the fact that the blades seem to be so difficult to get dry after shaving, and it corrodes them to a small degree, making the next shave so...

    North Sea Jazz 2010 in Rotterdam, Holland

    It's VERY relaxing, and almost takes you to another world. If music can do that, then it's good music. Very nice... the album cover there describes the track perfectly I'd say. Like the Vibrasphere, the music is like a journey... amazing stuff. The unfortunate thing is that they've only...

    NZXT Sentry LXE Touch-Screen Fan Controller

    Yes, any PSU will be able to support the card, as it just uses a typical 4-Pin Molex connector (the same kind of connector that old IDE components use). The device itself comes with a cable to plug into your PSU, and it won't take up any Molex connector if you don't have any left. You simply...

    Quick Impressions of openSUSE 11.3

    About two weeks ago, the openSUSE Project released version 11.3 of its popular Linux distribution, and after putting it off for quite a while, I decided to give the latest version a download and see what SUSE has been up to. After all, the last time I took a serious look at SUSE (over four years...

    Are Only 0.3% of Torrents Legal?

    I'm sure this will come as a surprise to no one, but a popular use for the BitTorrent protocol is downloading illegal materials, whether they be movies, music, games, applications, books or any other piece of copyrighted digital property. You probably also realize that the effect of this is...

    OCZ Enyo 128GB USB 3.0 Portable SSD

    To be fair, I could understand the reasoning for OCZ not wanting to swap out the drive for an upgrade, because there's little or nothing wrong with the device. It would cost the company money, and for no real reason. If the drive DOES indeed have an issue, I could understand a swap-out, but...

    How many blades on a razor is too many?

    It's hard to say, the way things are going. When the Mach 3 first came out, I thought it was a ridiculous idea, until I tried one. The shave was unbelievably smooth. Then along came a four-bladed razor. I tried one for fun, and it felt no different than the Mach 3. Now the one I'm using has four...

    Rogers Lowers Bandwidth Limits, Increases Overage Fees

    Ahh, the company I love to hate has given me yet another reason to continue hating. In the past, I mentioned that Rogers (Canadian do-all media deliverer) intercepts your Web searches to go to its own ad-ridden search in lieu of whatever your browser's default search engine choice might be, and...

    North Sea Jazz 2010 in Rotterdam, Holland

    Great track, I love it :D That is a classic, haha. I had the same kind of distaste for quite a while, but they've been growing on me a bit. It's my friend's favorite band, and he looks up to Petrucci big time (friend's also a guitar player). The voice does take some getting used to...

    NZXT Sentry LXE Touch-Screen Fan Controller

    For some reason, there are no specs on NZXT's site for the LX, but it takes up exactly two 5.25" drive bays. So if you at least have two of those free, you won't have any issues with installation.

    Intel Updates Processor Line-up, Introduces Core i7-970

    Earlier this month, a rumor surfaced that claimed Intel would be launching some new processor models this summer, and sure enough, it's proven true... and a lot sooner than I expected. This past weekend, Intel quietly updated its processor line-up, adding some fresh faces to the line-up, as well...

    EVGA 11th Anniversary Contests

    There's no such thing as PS Master :P There's PS and then PS Extended. Adobe Master Collection is the software that has almost ALL of Adobe's software. It's valued at around $2,500.
