    Problematic LAN ports?

    Good to see you back on the forums, Greg :-) Well... I might just buy the theory that a power surge or something like it caused the issue, but even so, it sucks to have them just "die" like that. Around here, power surges aren't so much an issue, but power outages are, and I'm sure having the...

    Who's watching the World Cup?

    Ugh, that's disgusting :-/ It has little to do with the World Cup, though. Just has to do with animals being animals.

    NZXT Going out of Business? Not Quite!

    It seems that someone, or something has it out for our friends at NZXT. I didn't catch it, but either late Sunday or all day Monday, NZXT's official site was hacked. Aside from much of the database being purged, for products and other things, a mass e-mail was sent out via what I suspect would...

    Free Alternatives to Adobe Reader for Viewing PDF's

    Portable Document Format files, or PDF's for short, are pretty much ubiquitous in today's computing, as they are a standard way of sharing documents within the business world. They are used for proofing, filling out forms, NDA's, insurance claims, and just about anything that requires...

    AVGN tackles game glitches

    The most recent episode from the Angry Video Game Nerd has to go down as one of my favorites... it's just hilarious. He tackles game glitches, and some of these are unbelievable, but I won't spoil any of the episode by talking about them here. For those not familiar with AVGN, I offer a...

    Problematic LAN ports?

    About a month ago, I began having an issue with the LAN ports on my Gigabyte X58A-UD5, and I'm wondering if I'm alone, or if other's have had similar issues with either the same board or another. For the most part, the LAN ports here work great, and are rather reliable. But on occasion, a mere...

Not surprisingly, there are a few names on that...

    Modern Warfare 2 online play

    Who's watching the World Cup?

    I have to agree with Doomsday in that the first 70 - 80 minutes were rather boring... I just couldn't believe that not a single goal was made up to that point. The Dutch were far too aggressive, but in the end, it could have been anyone's game. Even that goal could have been saved, if...

    Apple's iPhone 4 Reception Issues Continue to Mount

    In the first two weeks that the iPhone 4 has been available, it's been receiving both good and bad reception. For the most part, many users are impressed with the new hardware, and even those who opt to stick with their earlier iPhone models are pleased with iOS 4. The biggest complaint so far...

    Are Korean Gamers Faster than a Speeding Bullet?

    ROFL! I think gold farmers could be considered hardcore all the same though... I've seen some documentaries. It's more sad than it is odd.

    Are Korean Gamers Faster than a Speeding Bullet?

    I'm guessing that in Modern Warfare 2, I can at times get up to 100 APM, but that's a first-person shooter... when you are constantly moving. Starcraft isn't even that kind of game. It can be fast-moving, yes, but not <em>that</em> fast moving. It's been so long since I've played SC, but...

    Is a New "Tech Support" Scam Impossible to Stop?

    Like weeds, scams pop up all over the place when we least expect it, and once one is killed, another one comes to life. When the Internet came to exist, schemers saw an instant opportunity, and it's obvious by now that the Web has become an unbelievable haven. Some have made millions both...

    Cease and Desist Sent to Wicked Lasers over Arctic Spyder III Laser

    Remember that ultra-powerful yet super affordable laser we posted about last month? It comes from Wicked Lasers (of course), and I'd argue that it's the first laser to be sold that actually deserves to be called "wicked". At 1W, it's able to cause instant eye damage, cancer if it touches the...
