I am not sure about you guys, but with the knowledge of Sonic the Hedgehog 4's summer release, I would have been content for the next couple of weeks without some real excitement. But, it's here anyway, with the announcement that both Vin Diesel and Paul Walker will be returning to the...

Use Firefox? Use Firefox on more than one PC? Tired of manually syncing all of your settings from one PC to the next, such as bookmarks, history, passwords, and preferences? Mozilla's Weave extension looks to take away that pain, and allow your Firefox setup to remain identical on multiple...

There are few things on this earth that could cause me to squeal like a little schoolgirl, but the thought of a true sequel to Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is one of the rare exceptions. Last fall, SEGA released a preview trailer that hinted at a new Sonic game in 2010, but what made the...

As far as I'm concerned, music is one of the best inventions ever. It can pump you up, mellow you out, cheer you up or bring back old memories. I think it goes without saying that music is a big part of most of our lives, but if you were to judge that by music sales trends, you might begin...

For as long as it's existed, YouTube has been known as a site to offer free video. But last month, Google tested the waters to see if people would be willing to pay for movie rentals to help recoup the enormous bills that the site accrues every day. To say the test was a roaring success...

Just over two months ago, Micron surprised the tech world with its announcement of the ultra-fast C300 SSD. For a company that's been almost perfectly quiet about its solid-state drive models, the C300 was just unexpected. The biggest surprise? The fact that it would become the first SATA...

This past fall, AMD launched its latest graphics generation with the high-end HD 5870, and today, it looks to the opposite end of the spectrum with its $50 HD 5450. Though inexpensive, the HD 5450 has a surprising amount of spunk. Coupled with its passive design and full media capabilities...

NVIDIA just launched a contest where you could win a 3D Vision kit: http://blogs.nvidia.com/ntersect/2010/02/nvidia-history-of-gaming-challenge.html

We posted yesterday about Microsoft's recent reason for celebration, being the proud owners of the world's fastest-selling OS, but thanks to Web analytics firm Net Applications, it has another reason to toss onto the pile. That company has just updated its browser market share charts for the...

I'm sure this will come as no surprise to anyone, but the vast majority of content being shared using the BitTorrent protocol is of an "illegal" copyright-infringing manner. That includes movies, games and other software, music, pornography, images, and believe it or not... books. The fact...

I have to admit that at times, I just can't help but whine about something. This is especially true if it happens to be something that truly "grinds my gears". Where gaming is concerned, those gripes tend to be traced back to something ridiculous like digital rights management (DRM). But...

I am not too sure that the number of people still running the Windows 7 RC is that high, but if you happen to be, take note. On February 15th, RC installs will begin receiving messages that remind the user that as of March 1st, the PC will begin its bi-hourly automatic shutdown. That's...

There are few things on this earth that frustrate me as much as getting ripped-off. Sure, that venti-sized Carmel Macchiato costs a cool $5 or so, but at least it's delicious. That $4 text message conversation I ended up getting into? Now that's a rip-off. That's far from being a lone...

I have to admit that I have no idea what Mass Effect 2 is all about, but I do own the original. Would it be wise to go through that one first, before the second, or would it matter?

Hah, it will be here long before then, I'm rather confident of that. As for "insanely pricey", it's truly hard to predict without having all the facts together, but based on the information available, I'd suspect the GTX 470 will be around $399 and the GTX 480 around $499. This is a total...

Whew, thanks for saving a forum member's life, Tango! We have too few a number of members as it is! (:D!)

That's why I said, "One of the main reasons has nothing at all to do with the iPad" ;) That's true, but Apple did itself no favor with the unveiling of iWork for iPad and also that rather cool paint application. Those tools alone make the iPad out to be more than just a simple computer. Fair...

Here's a bonus tip. Unlike Windows Vista, Windows 7 removed the ability to choose which edition you want to install, due to confusion by the average consumer I'm sure. But, this is easy to fix, especially since you'll be installing the OS from a thumb drive. After your drive is completely...

Microsoft may be selling Windows 7 exclusively on DVD's, but did you realize that it takes very little effort to create a bootable thumb drive and install from that? We're taking a look at two popular methods of accomplishing this, and as you'll see, it couldn't be easier to install Microsoft's...

Where BitTorrent clients are concerned, "µTorrent" (pronounced either as a "u" or "micro") is in a league of its own. It shares similar goals as other competing clients, but goes just a bit further to pack in as much functionality as possible, without ending up with something that feels a...
