    Apple Dominates the Mobile App Market in 2009

    The term "cell phone" used to mean one thing... a portable phone that used cellular towers to place a call. Today, the term almost seems defunct, because today's phones do much, much more than place a simple call. Strangely enough, today's phones seem to do that one single thing worse than...

    That cat that rode the bus

    As a cat lover, I couldn't help but get a little choked up at this story. Just imagine, a cat... that boards the same bus every single day at around the same exact time, being hit by a car as he's headed to the bus one day. Ugh. Things happen, and cats sure don't belong on the road, but it's sad...

    Autologon tool for Windows.

    I'll give that a test in the days to come. Don't need it on my main PC since I auto-logon, but I believe my mother's PC could use it, so I'll test it there.

    HighPoint RocketRAID 2310

    Ugh, I wish I could help here, but I'm not familiar with either this card, or how Mac OS X handles things. It might be a good idea to go to a Mac-specific forum and ask the question there, because with or without this card, I'm sure this problem has existed for others, and an answer exists...

    Taking a Deep Look at NVIDIA's Fermi Architecture

    Yes, the developer stuff was -amazing-. I wish I could have talked at greater depth about it all, but I didn't have as much backup information as I wanted (including screenshots), so I didn't want to talk about it too much. I do plan to tackle it a bit more in the future, though, because even as...

    Could Gigabyte's H55M-USB3 be the Ultimate H55 Board?

    As I mentioned in our news last Friday, we paid a visit to Gigabyte's suite at the Venetian in Las Vegas a little over a week ago, and just as we expected, there were many, many motherboards on display. All that were there ranged between many differentchipsets , but one that the company was...

    Windows 7 Gains Ground on Steam's Hardware Survey

    It's been a while since I launch took a look at Steam's hardware survey results, but in recent weeks, I've been told by more than one person that I need to get on it, so here we are. The reason I was pushed towards checking it out is because a lot has changed in the gaming landscape over the...

    Modern Warfare 2 Hits $2B... What Have We Learned?

    Love or hate the series, there's little denying that Infinity Ward has done right with Call of Duty. Each major addition to the series has sold really, really well, and with the latest iteration, Modern Warfare 2, the company hit an incredible feat... it's sold over $1 billion worth of product...

    Taking a Deep Look at NVIDIA's Fermi Architecture

    It has taken a bit longer than we all had hoped, but last week, NVIDIA gathered members of press together to dive deep into its upcoming Fermi architecture, where it divulged all the features that are set to give AMD a run for its money. In addition, the company also discussed PhysX, GPU...

    Intel Core i7 - Choosing the Best Memory Kit

    I agree it might be interesting to look at those, but applications like those are far beyond the scope of our website. It might be interesting for interest's sake, but it wouldn't be relevant to our audience. I'm also willing to bet that it would take a while to even understand how to use such...

    Do you buy ...

    That's still fine, though. If you get a CPU, some blank media, some compressed air, blah blah, all for the price of just the CPU from Newegg, I'd consider that a good reason to get to the store (provided you are close to one).

    Why Does Ron Jeremy Hate Technology?

    I'd assume he'd have one modeled after a busty woman, where the nipples would be used as knobs to control the fan speed, and pressing down on the jaw would dispense KY jelly. I really have no idea, but Jeremy has some way out there tastes, so it'd be something to see. Of course, it might just...

    Windows 7 ... what do you like, or not & why ... or do you care?

    Thanks, Tharic-Nar. I had no idea it was that simple... and here I am the one who administrates this thing! That's why I said I was tempted to move back to the classic style ;-) Well, I don't recall this issue happening much before Vista, but I did have it happen there as well. I can't think...

    Intel's Initial Larrabee Discrete Graphics Card Canceled

    I think that's the inevitable transition regardless. The design in IGP will be similar to the discrete cards... it's just that the discrete cards will be far, far more powerful. I'm not entirely sure we'd see results of this soon though... perhaps more with Sandy Bridge, and not Clarkdale. I...

    EVGA's W555 Dual-Socket Motherboard Redefines High-End

    I completely missed that, nice one :D If the PSU's are combined to turn on at the exact same time, I'd imagine the best route would be to have a scheme like: PSU #1: One CPU, Half the GPUs, Storage PSU #2: One CPU, Half the GPUs, Other components Kind of just split it right down the middle...

    The new build ...

    Haha! Nice analogy there. Though, as I'm under the weather, it hurt to laugh :-( That's just it. Linpack is like the worst of the worst case scenario, so for your uses, it could likely be considered completely stable. Just keep showing love to Techgage, and I'll be a happy camper :D Glad you...

    CES 2010: AMD's Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series GPUs

    When put that way, it sounds even better, because the HD 4870 is hardly a slouch, given it can run any current game at 2560x1600 just fine. Just imagine the detail settings you could apply at lower resolutions. I can't wait to test a notebook with one of these babies equipped in it.

    Do you buy ...

    Is that the REGULAR price? If so, then wow... how can they undersell places like Newegg by $80?
