    Mozilla's Thunderbird 3 E-mail Client Released

    The latest major version of Mozilla's popular e-mail client, Thunderbird, was expected late last month, but that time came and went, and no cigar. Whether or not the rumors were wrong, or various reasons held it back, I'm not sure, but it's here now, and just went live about an hour before this...

    Virgin Galactic Unveils First Commercial Space Plane

    Have you ever dreamt of soaring around the edge of our earth, with nothing but our entire galaxy in front of you? Well, believe it or not, that's becoming a reality, and far sooner than you'd likely imagine. Virgin, a company that partakes in pretty much every industry there is, is launching...

    Need to Warm Up? How About a USB Hand-Warmer?

    If the idea behind this thing isn't too clear... it's not entirely designed to be used indoors, but rather it's designed to be charged up while you are using your computer, and then brought with you when you go out. So if you're walking in a snowstorm and couldn't get much more cold, you'd haul...

    Killing people for their fat?!

    Good stuff man! I bet it gets easier to work out when you actually see major gains like that, huh? Seriously, 37lbs is no small feat... that's awesome.

    Are chat clients much help?

    I think IM chat clients have their ups and downs. Their ups is that it allows me to have on-going conversations with more than one person at once, which is hard to do on the phone. So I can talk to a friend, and someone at some company we deal with, while talking to my host about our...

    Can Gaming Lead You to a Career?

    For most of them, that's 8 figures ;-) Haha! Yes, best you don't equate life with a game, I agree ;-)

    Hah, nice setup, Misha! Glad to see someone on our forums is taking good advantage of Eyefinity. How are you enjoying the game so far? It becomes available in the US sometime tonight, so I'll download it on Steam whenever that happens. The graphics look gorgeous!

    Have Techgage Readers Adopted Windows 7?

    I've had no major issues with Windows 7, either. Quite enjoying it still.

    KDE 4.4 to Introduce "Tabbed Applications"

    As I said in the post: "Apparently, this idea isn't new, and some lesser-known Linux window managers have included this feature for a while, but this is the first I've heard of such a feature in one of the biggest environments out there." There's a huge difference between a window manager that...

    Intel's Larrabee Computational Performance Beats Out Competition

    It makes total sense that the current version just wouldn't offer the power people want to see, but it's still unfortunate. Given the sheer number of doubters out there, I kind of wanted to see Intel release something that was impressive, so to cancel the "gen 1" card, so to speak, is a little...

    Intel Unveils 48-Core "Single-Chip Cloud Computer" Processor

    Well, I am willing to bet that few people who purchase this are going to use just 3GB of RAM, so the core count would be on par with what most would purchase (6GB). For such a high-end product, it wouldn't surprise me if 12GB of RAM would be even more common, since prices allow it for most...

    water cooling

    "bit" of an ugly duckling? Haha, that thing is horrible-looking. But, it's a cool DIY nonetheless.

    Apple Doesn't Tolerate App Store Cheaters (Here's Proof)

    Oh, wow... I had no idea Apple had purged an even greater number of apps in the past. I saw this new story at more than one site, and it led me to believe that this was the highest number to date. I'm glad for it, though. Consumer first, and if companies are misleading, I'm glad Apple has no...

    How much RAM will be in your next PC?

    So, I'm curious. With memory prices rather low, for the most part, and motherboards so capable of handling copious amounts of it, if you were to build a new PC today, or are planning to in the near-future, how much memory are you going to toss in there? Personally, I've been using 8GB in my...

    Apple Releases iTunes LP SDK

    That's just it, and it's too bad so many customers don't notice the difference. Haha, you just answered a bunch of questions I didn't know I had. I was wondering about 4G... had no idea the rollout would begin so soon, though.

    Adding FLAC support to MPClassic....

    Great instructions... I'm sure this will help many (especially those searching for help in the search engines). I'm curious, though, why did you choose MadFLAC over proper FLAC (URL)? Is there a benefit with MadFLAC that makes it a better choice over the official version?

    Running Blu Ray on my Customized Dell Dimension 3000

    Wow, great response Tango. I'm sure Kawika is on the path to proper Blu-ray playback (it's unfortunate they have remained so quiet since the original post, though).

    PSU calculator

    Well, oddly enough, our friend Nate at Legit Reviews hit over 1000W power draw on a machine he was testing the other day, single-CPU and dual-GPU setup, and nothing else much special about it. He wouldn't mention what GPUs he was using, though.

    Quick-Gage: Kingston 16GB DataTraveler Locker+

    That doesn't surprise me... Google uses the same tactics in its own services, usually. Not quite sure how Facebook gathers that kind of information, but it's something to think about.
