    2009 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 vs. 1997 McLaren F1

    As a car enthusiast, it's near-impossible to put two amazing cars side-by-side and then choose which one you'd prefer to own. It would almost be like choosing between your kids, or somehow winding up at a party at the Playboy mansion and remembering that your girlfriend is right beside you...

    Rest in Peace: Chris "ChrisRay" Arthington

    Ugh. I had a small photo of him on the front-page, but I didn't clue in that that photo wouldn't be seen inside the article as well. Fixed up, thanks for pointing it out.

    Windows 7 Becomes Fastest-Selling OS in the World

    In mid-December, I took a look at our site statistics for the first half of the month to see the trend of Windows 7 adoption, and the results were rather impressive. At that time, 28.23% of our Windows visitors were using Windows 7. For an OS that was released a mere two months earlier, that...

    Rest in Peace: Chris "ChrisRay" Arthington

    One of the best things about working for a site like Techgage is that I not only get to dabble in bleeding-edge pieces of technology for a living, but I get to meet some of the most interesting people on the planet during all of my travels. One example of this is CES, where last month, I had...

    Official: First NVIDIA Fermi Cards are GTX 470, GTX 480

    Take a guess at the best possible way to discover information from any company today. Subscribe to its press release list? Nope. Contact the company? Nope. In the age of social media, it seems like the best way is to subscribe to that company's Facebook page, Twitter page, Flickr page, et...

    Windows 7 load balance ... well maybe ...

    Whew, 18 hours left on that project... on a 4.0GHz Core i7? Now that's what I call an intensive CPU job! There are essentially eight separate jobs, though, so each core isn't going to have an exact spread across the two threads. In computing, this kind of thing is too hard to predict or...

    Google Offers Bounties for Finding Chrome Bugs

    I can understand that way of doing things completely, especially if you don't particularly <em>want</em> other people to just take the code and re-brand it. It allows you to keep the base as you like it, but allow them to do whatever else they want with it. There are a lot of projects out there...

    Easy Boot Win 7 OS Install from pen drives....

    Ugh, this is a major coincidence. Robert is finishing up an article that discusses this exact same thing. If only we were a day sooner with it! We are using a very similar method to the one you mention, but also talk about two more, using diskpart and also the Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool, which seems...

    Does Panopticlick Prove that Anonymous Browsing is Dead?

    Like Tharic-Nar said, it could be because some sites might like to know which fonts to display, but to be honest, I don't think that's a common thing at all. Most websites stick to fonts that are natively on all OSes, like Arial, Times, Verdana and so forth. So, I don't think a website in...
