This is just one of those things that aren't too useful, but are incredibly cool nonetheless. http://8bitnyc.com/ I'm not quite sure how he manages to do it, as he doesn't explain it, but oh well. It's cool as heck :D

When Valve released its beta for a Steam UI overhaul towards the end of February, it just felt like a regular beta. As I mentioned in our news post at the time, the revamped look is quite nice, and intuitive. But there was something lingering under the covers that was discovered later the...

Late last week, NVIDIA posted a video to YouTube that showcases the company's upcoming GeForce GTX 480 graphics card, based on its Fermi architecture. In the video, NVIDIA's Tom Peterson explains the perks that the card has, and how it will compare to the "competition", and of course, why you...

The topic of blocking ads on websites has popped into some of my conversations over the past couple of weeks, and it wasn't until just recently that I realized just how prevalent the activity is. I also realized that my opinions seem to vary wildly from most, and if I had to guess, it's...

Anyone who has been reading our news section for some time likely knows by now that I'm not a fan of DRM (digital rights management) in any current form. It's not that I support piracy, because I'm the stark opposite. I do fully believe that there is always a right way to do things, and also...

Finding a great H55 board to match up with your Clarkdale CPU isn't hard, as the market currently has a great selection. But Gigabyte's H55M-USB3 stands out, as it has a superb feature-set for its ~$100 price tag, and also proves itself in our tests as being a great all-around board, and one...

That's unbelievable! I don't think I've ever seen something like this before, at least on these shores. I hope Newegg can get this sorted out soon, and figure out who's responsible.

Wow. I saw a new post in this thread, so I clicked on the thread from the main forum index, then minimized the browser to deal with something else while it loaded. I ended up forgetting about it, so the next time I opened up the browser, and saw that dude staring me in the face, I roared...

It goes without saying that solid-state drives are well-worth the investment in order to give your PC some responsiveness, but with all the benefits they can offer, there's one lesser-known issue that we'll talk about here. That issue is simple. As soon as you delete a file on a TRIM-enabled...

Late last week, we talked about some hints that Valve was dropping about a potential Apple-based Steam client, and over the course of this week, there's been even more hints, and also an out-right confirmation to Apple site MacNN about the client, from Valve's own marketing VP Doug Lombardi...

So this family had a hole in their fence, and their two dogs got out. The Animal Care and Control find them and pick them up, and say they will only return them once the hole in the fence is fixed. You fix it, go to the Animal Care and Control to get your dogs back and hear, "I'm sorry Mr...

Ever bought an item from a retailer, opened it up and thought something suspicious was going on? Well, in the case of some microSD cards, that something was possibly the result of Ghost Shift Workers, running machines after hours and flogging the parts on to distributors. Some of these cards...

When Intel launched its Westmere-based line-up this past January, one of the more interesting models released was the Core i3-530. The big reason was its budget $120 price tag. But if there's one thing that can make a budget chip interesting, it's overclocking, and fortunately, there's huge...

Didn't you read? Slugbug tried that, and it went completely wrong ;-)

To be honest, I can't see Valve doing much to bring PC games over to the Mac, because it's just too much work, for too little gain. There's a lot of potential, but the fact of the matter is, a lot of older titles aren't going to sell that well today on the PC, so when you shave down the Mac...

I agree, that's what I love about Valve. I haven't touched Team Fortress 2 as I mentioned, but the fact of the matter is, Valve is doing a great job in supporting it. People bought it once, and they've been constantly treated to sweet updates. The same could be said for Day of Defeat, but I...

Glad you are liking it! I can't quite share your excitement, but I'm glad it's working out well.

I'm stuck in a bad spot, because on one hand, I like Chrome, but it's just a bit too minimalist for my liking. I never know where something I need to tackle is going to appear (such as a download), but I do like the amazing speed it offers. I wish Mozilla would just get its act together and...

I'm not quite sure what to recommend here. If you have to get rid of your entire PC, then you're pretty much building from the ground up, so it's not so much a comparison between the 9800 GTX+ to the HD 5750 anymore, but rather simply what card you should get that will be worth it. For a...

I'm not sure of the form-factor, but it is indeed wider than eATX. You can see a comparison between an ATX and the W555 board here: http://forums.techgage.com/showpost.php?p=35234&postcount=2 Judging by the photo, the W555 is about 80% wider than a standard ATX and 4" longer height-wise. As I...
