    Arctic Sound E361-BM Earbuds

    Hey Justin :-) I'm still surprised that AC came out with earbuds at all... it seems like such a strange direction for a company like that to take. The problem with the earbud market also is that it's so saturated. If someone's in the market to purchase a pair, they have like a billion to choose...

    Should or Shouldn't You Purchase an iPad?

    With many notable tech product launches, there usually seems to be some general consensus as to whether or not the product is worth it, or useful. With the iPad, opinions are all over the place, and it seems to be that while many people find it unbelievably cool, many others find it to be...

    Mozilla Releases First Analyst Report; Firefox Sits at 30% Usage

    Just over a month ago, I posted a news story that spoke about reports that claimed that Mozilla's Firefox Web browser might not hit the 25% market share it obviously seeks, which had to do with some trending declines. But in a report released by Mozilla itself last week, it becomes clear...

    Apple's iPad Launches to Positive Reception

    It's hard to believe that a full two months have passed since the iPad's announcement, but it's true. After that short stint of waiting, Apple launched the device over the weekend to much demand and zeal from fans and consumers all over. So much so, that it's becoming increasingly difficult...

    NVIDIA Defends GTX 480's Heat & Power Consumption

    A little over a week ago, NVIDIA finally took the veil off of its first GF100-based graphics cards, which came in the form of the GeForce GTX 470 and GTX 480. As we quickly found out, whether or not the cards were worth the wait depended on your point-of-view, but as it seemed, the majority...

    OCZ Vertex Found for a Great Price

    During our last solid-state drive review we observed that the 120GB OCZ Vertex drives were selling for $289 after rebate, which works out to be $2.41 per GB. For an all-around solid performance drive that is capable of both respectable sequential writes and random small file operations...

    Stop Wine-ing: 15 Games for Linux

    Do you think that Linux lacks some good games? If so, you're wrong! To be fair, Linux does miss most of the top commercial games on the market (not quite the fault of Linux itself, though), but aside from those, the selection seems to be limitless. Even indie developers are getting in on the...

    ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition Preview

    Think having three monitors is a little bland? How about six, then? Options were scarce before, but with AMD's ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 edition, it has never been easier to get hooked up with such a configuration. We're still in the process of "working" hard for our final article, so for...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 - GF100 Has Landed

    That was something special for this article, because I didn't feel right in only sticking to our current fleet of titles. It's kind of sad, but some of our titles are just plain out of date. The reason it's sad is because it feels like I just revamped the entire GPU suite. Here I am needing to...

    Sony to Remove "Install Other OS" Option on PS3

    Well, it looks like it's time to add yet another entry onto the pile of how companies hurt legit consumers just to strike back at hackers. You might recall that back in January, we reported that self-proclaimed PS3 hacker, George Hotz, circumvented certain securities on the console and...

    Have you ever had FRAPS running while playing a game, and couldn't hit your video record hotkey fast enough to capture something amazing that just happened? That can be frustrating, to say the least, but beepa, developer of the popular screenshot and benchmarking tool, has released a new...

    Are Consoles Killing PC Gaming?

    Ahh, the age-old argument that never seems to die: Consoles vs. PC. You might imagine that because I get to test out the best PC gaming hardware on the market, I'd prefer gaming on that platform, but that's something that varies. I prefer FPS titles on the PC by far, but enjoy racing games...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 - GF100 Has Landed

    We've learned a lot about NVIDIA's GF100 (Fermi) architecture over the past year, and after what seemed like an eternal wait, the company has officially announced the first two cards as part of the series; the GeForce GTX 470 and GTX 480. To start, we're taking a look at the latter, so read...
