    Firefox 3.6.3 (Lorentz) beta

    I'm so glad to see Mozilla finally get this implemented, as it's one of the best features of Chrome. I don't have major Flash-related issues like you do, but on Linux, I do have the odd site that will end up crashing the browser, and I'm certain Flash is the reason. I'm very, very tempted to...

    10 Things Linux Does Better Than Windows

    Ahh. I've never heard of Parted Magic before... will have to check it out. One small oversight makes my Windows knowledge "obviously limited"? That's absurd. If my Windows knowledge was limited in any way, an article like this simply wouldn't be written. Up until four-and-a-half years ago, I...

    10 Things Linux Does Better Than Windows

    I couldn't agree more, and it's something I've mentioned to others in the past. I'm not sure if it's just the fact that I like CLI, but I find it much easier to just open up a command-line and create a symlink rather than create shortcuts in Windows. Plus, symlinks are for more than just...

    10 Things Linux Does Better Than Windows

    There is no such thing as a "perfect" OS, but given that Microsoft's Windows costs a pretty penny and Linux is free, it's a little strange that the latter can do certain things far better than the former. We're taking a look at our favorite ten, which includes the partitioner, automatic...

    Apple Introduces Mobile Ads with iPhone OS 4.0

    At an event held by Apple today, the company unveiled what's to come in the upcoming iPhone OS, version 4.0. Multi-tasking was one introduced feature that took almost no one by surprise, but another that's causing quite a stir all over is the introduction of Apple's mobile advertising...

    NVIDIA Lists Chassis Recommendations for GTX 480 Use

    ROFL! For whatever reason, that seriously made me laugh out loud :D

    Seth MacFarlane Brainstorming Session

    I love all three shows that are poked about here, but I somehow never made these connections... http://www.cracked.com/funny-316-family-guy/

    The Sleeper

    Dude, this mod is coming along nicely :D Great idea on side-mounting the hard drives there, seems like such a simple solution, but effective. Is there any concern of heat with the bottom of the mount being rather solid, or does that side generally not generate too much heat to begin with? (This...

    Legal DVD's vs. Pirated DVD's

    I actually found the opposite to be true. For some reason, I've had far better luck skipping past these stupid advertisements and even some warnings with the PS3. I popped in a DVD the other day, and some of the screens were forced. It's very frustrating when all you want to do is kick back and...

    90 degrees F here!!!!

    90°F! I love that kind of weather, but only if I'm actually out in it. It's a relative hell if you are indoors with no A/C, haha. It's not close to being that warm up here... 55°F at the moment. No qualm about it though... it's nice and comfortable.

    ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition Preview

    There's been a bit of a delay in the actual review, but I hope to have it up next week. I was trying to secure a second 2GB card in order to show the best CrossFireX results possible, but all the vendors seem to be clean out. I have been testing using a 2GB and 1GB card though, and despite the...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 - GF100 Has Landed

    NVIDIA spins this in such a way that it doesn't seem like a big deal, but to me, it is. If ALL of the launch cards are going to be identical, then people should have the option of using something other than DVI, given that many people today prefer HDMI and DisplayPort. I'm not at all a fan of...

    ASUS P7H55D-M EVO & Intel DH55TC

    Hmm, that doesn't sound right at all. The sad thing about this motherboard is that it didn't even allow us to specify voltage levels, so unless a recent BIOS fixes the issue, it might be worth hitting up Intel about. You can find the latest BIOS here...

    CoolIT ECO A.L.C. Liquid CPU Cooler

    After goofing around with Corsair's H50 for our contest PC, I have a new-found respect for this style of cooler. Quiet, and effective... can't beat that.
