Earlier this week, I linked to one of the rare news stories that burns me up on the inside. It featured the CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt, and an asinine comment, where he essentially stated that if you're looking for privacy, you're probably doing something wrong. Hopefully it's not too hard to...

For many tech enthusiasts, the name "CrunchPad" isn't an unknown. It's the name of a product that was set to be launched by Michael Arrington, owner of TechCrunch and related network sites. The CrunchPad could be summed up as being a much larger version of the iPhone, but with a single purpose...

No, that's here: http://forums.techgage.com/showthread.php?t=5439 ;)

Where virtualization is concerned, "free" certainly doesn't equate with "cheap". Sun's VirtualBox is a perfect example of that. For non-commercial use, it's a cost-free hypervisor that's feature-robust, offers great performance and stability, and supports a wide-variety of guest operating...

It's the same thing with movies. If you're attached to the character, and then they are murdered or die from other causes, it can effect you. It's certainly not a bad thing... it just shows that you actually have emotions. What's wrong with that? Kind of reminds me of an episode of King of...

You got that right... that's total class. Talk about talent!

Ahh, that's true. But it still seems odd, since they could at the least just let you download a Zip archive with the .DLL inside of it. This is how LAME does things. Good reasons behind the MPC usage. I am just curious, have you ever given foobar2000 a go? I know it's audio-only, but it's quite...

Yes, I'm sure it was a dual dual-GPU setup, and he swore he wasn't overclocking. Still seems high to me, though, because even two HD 5970's shouldn't be able to push the power that high (perhaps I'm wrong).

To upload pictures right in the forum, just use the attachments option when making a new post (it's found under the "Additional Options" section). You can them upload up to eight pictures at a time, and the constraints (file size and resolution) are at the bottom of the pop-up. Yes, that's one...

Haha, I'm not too sure... it could be a lot of different things. It's not the first time it's happened here, so it could be that they posted on more than one forum and forgot one or more of them. Either way, your advice is going to prove useful to anyone who searches for the same problem in a...

That's just how its algorithm works. It could be that two people you know happen to know the same person, so it assumes that you might as well. My list is like that, at least. There are a lot of people it recommends who I've never spoken to, and some people I just don't want to add for other...

Thanks gibbersome, and yeah, definitely a legit alternative. I couldn't believe it when I saw better performance this way than with a single HD 5870. Certainly not a bad thing, though.

Want to install a fresh copy of Windows 7 on a netbook, or another PC with no optical drive? Believe it or not, it's not that difficult to pull off manually, but to take as much hassle out of it as possible, Microsoft released a "Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool" near the OS' launch to aide those...

It's been a while since I've last heard much about Microsoft's "exFAT" file system, but it looks like we may be hearing about it more in the near-future. exFAT is of course the next version of Microsoft's ultra-popular File Allocation Table file system, which used to be commonly used as the file...

Like in previous years, Time has released a "Top 10 Everything of 2009", and it isn't kidding. It has top lists for the obvious, like medical breakthroughs, TV series, movies, video games, gadgets, but even categories for things like top crime stories, new species, oddball news stories...

Are you curious to know what albums, songs, movies and apps topped Apple's iTunes' store during 2009? Well, wonder no more, because Apple takes out all of the guesswork and reveals all (except actual numbers) in a feature on the iTunes store called "Rewind 2009". Split into categories, you can...

When Google released its Chrome Web browser last fall, it came with almost no warning. There were leaks, sure, but even those didn't surface until mere days before the launch of the first "beta". Google's known for a lot of things, and browsers wasn't one of them, but surprisingly enough, Chrome...

Like most other mechanical hard drive vendors, Seagate has long remained adamant that from a consumer standpoint, solid-state disks (SSDs) are just not that important. Western Digital said the same thing even at the beginning of this year, and then look what happened. Like Seagate, Western...

Those who know me well know that I try to stay away from Google products as much as possible. This includes its search engine, Web apps and so forth. The reason boils down to privacy, and the absolute lack of. If you use a Google service, including its search engine, the amount of data that it...

We took a look last week at a thumb drive that offered unparalleled data security, and this time around, we're taking a look at a similar product, but one that's designed for PC use, whether in the office or at home. The CipherChain, from Addonics, is easy-to-install and operate, and secures...
