If I published an article that compared a Chevrolet to a Ferrari, and some of the things mentioned included better gas mileage, the fact that it has a cup holder, more people space, and is easier to drive... does that mean that I'm saying that the Chevrolet is better than a Ferrari? I don't...

I don't deal with eSATA at all, but the problem you're having is undoubtedly foolish. I do have to wonder if this is an ASUS-specific issue though, or if it's just how things are. My chassis has a front eSATA port also, but I don't even have an eSATA device. I'll have to get one in sometime soon...

I agree with Kougar... the 9600 GT would be a <em>much better</em> choice. The HD 5570 is another good one though. That seems to be the overall best value for the sub-$100 segment.

Not too long after flash-based USB thumb drives first hit the market, they became as synonymous with computing as a computer mouse. Well, almost. Prices were high at first, but plummeted fast, and we're now at a point where a 16GB model can be had for a meager $40. They're popular for not...

Which would you rather, playing a game that was developed in the year 2000, or 2010? I think most would say the latter, and for obvious reasons. In the year 2000, our 3D graphics were rather primitive compared to what we see today (even so, our minds were blown back then), so as long as the...

When Apple's iPad first hit the streets, the company proved that it was forward-thinking enough to adopt the use of MicroSIM cards in lieu of the standard SIM cards we've been used to for years. But a problem with that potentially arises. What if you don't have a MicroSIM card, and don't...

At this year's CES this past January, there was a lot of talk about USB 3.0, and it was no surprise. Just a couple of months prior, the interface was unleashed to the public, and those who owned capable motherboards/add-in cards were craving for the chance to purchase a capable product. One...

Until recently, the Hoover Dam was the largest viewable dam from space, but that title now belongs to many, many beavers in northern Alberta, Canada: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/05/04/enormous-beaver-dam-visible-space/

With the enormous success of social networking, success which still continues to grow at an alarm rate, many potential downsides have come to light over the past few years. Just a couple of months ago, we pointed out just how unwise it is to share too much information on a social network...

In September of 1985, Japan didn't have any idea about what was about to hit it, and hit it hard. No, not Godzilla. Rather, it was the launch of Super Mario Bros., the original, for the Nintendo Entertainment System (or Nintendo Famicom as it was known in Japan). To date, it still remains...

Do you watch a lot of videos on YouTube? Do you ever sit there and wonder why one particular video is taking forever to stream? Suffer from a slow Internet connection? Well, on a special page at the site that a friend tipped me off to, you can get an overview look to see how your Internet...

Like so many other memory vendors on the market, Kingston offers a wide array of solid-state disks for your perusal. For the low-end segment, it has the SSDNow V series, which at current time offer the best GB/$ on the market. We're taking a look at the latest release here, combining a recent...

Hey, I wish I had to work under such light conditions ;-) I gotta find a more up-to-date photo of me to post here sometime soon. I don't change much though. Just keep getting fatter and losing more hair!

Glad you are digging the new setup man! The 940 is a great CPU, that's for sure. I completely agree on the RAM issue as well... DDR3 might be faster, but as far as I'm concerned, there are few areas where that makes a real difference. In talking to Robert (Kougar) the other night, he mentioned...

Whoa, what? I know of someone who had a similar issue (not sure of the LED code), but it was a P55 board. Do you know if it's a problem with EVGA's boards in general, or just a fluke with a certain batch? You really seem to, haha. As for the monitor, I don't blame you. I don't at all regret my...

This past fall, I made a news post that highlighted what could be done with $150 if you wanted to get some pictures from space, and the originating article did well to prove that where there's a will, there's a way. That old blurb of wisdom proves true all the time, as I'm often blown away...

Since its original rumor, we've talked a fair bit about Valve's Steam client on Mac, and I have a good feeling we'll be talking about it for a while, as it's interesting in so many ways. As large as Valve is, its in-house game collection is small, but with all those available for the Mac...

It's clear that today's technology makes life easier and in some cases more enjoyable. Just take a quick look around and you can easily spot many things that we'd hate to live without, from online banking to mobile computing to cell phones and more. As good as most pieces of technology are...

With all of the recent iPhone 4G news, it might have become all too easy to forget about Apple's most recent product launch. That was of course the iPad, which, as hard as it may be to believe, was released to the public nearly a full month ago. During the first weekend, Apple managed to...

As the years pass and technologies improve, it's not uncommon to see a certain type of product go virtually extinct. Sometimes pieces of technologies get killed off well before their time (AGP, as an example), but other times, it's hard to understand why anyone on earth would stick to using...
