    Sapphire Radeon HD 5750

    It's hard to read NVIDIA right now, that's for sure. I don't think they want to make a mistake of promising too much and then not delivering on the hype, and I can't blame them. AMD just released some kick-ass cards, and even NVIDIA is going to have a rough time releasing cards to compete...

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

    I sure wouldn't complain if that were the outcome. I admit I'm tired of the same kind of WWII theme. I like to play games to get away from the real-world for a bit, and it's hard when you know the stories are based on real-world situations. I think that sometimes, these stories need to be told...

    Intel's Gulftown Reviewed Months Prior to Launch

    From our front-page news: Ahh, the leaks just keep coming! Yesterday, I posted about a leak that came out of Germany which involved Intel's entire upcoming Clarkdale line-up, seven models in all. Today's leak is a little more robust than a simple list of model names and expected information...

    HDMI 1.4 Standard Brings Revised Cable Badging

    From our front-page news: One of the biggest issues that exists today is confusion over technology. Most of you reading this site are not going to be tech illiterate, but we're of the minority. Millions upon millions of regular consumers walk into brick and mortar stores on a regular basis and...

    TRENDnet 300Mbps Wireless N Travel Router

    Travel often? Need a full-featured router, but not its full-featured size? If so, the TEW-654TR deserves your attention. Despite its small size (smaller than an iPod classic), it delivers a lot of functionality, including the ability to act as an AP and also a wireless card. It also happens to...

    Serious Sam HD Gets a Serious Release Today

    From our front-page news, seriously: Over eight-and-a-half years ago, a very serious game developer released an even more serious game called Serious Sam: The First Encounter. It certainly wasn't unique because of its FPS likeness, but it was unique because the developer tossed a huge amount of...

    PC Shipments Rise in 2009, But Revenue Declines

    From our front-page news: As if proof was ever needed that netbooks have become more than just a fad, Gartner has just released a report that tells of a nice 2.8% growth for PC shipments in 2009, while at the same time showing an 11% decline in revenue. In most any market, those kinds of results...

    Smoking Around Apple Computers May Void Warranty

    From our front-page news:As tech enthusiasts, if a problem arises with our PCs, notebooks, or whatever other gadgets we might be using, it's automatic to attempt a fix ourselves before going through the dreaded process of getting someone else to. After all, who on this earth would enjoy calling...

    Proposed UK Internet Law Bordering on Asinine

    That's what's deeply disturbing. There are so many out there in law enforcement who don't have the first clue about technology, as hard as it really is to believe, so when someone is trapped like this, it requires an enormous and unrealistic amount of effort to prove your innocence, if it can be...

    Apple Patents Forced Advertising

    What are you referring to, exactly? Apps on the App Store, or something? That's true, but this one has gained a certain amount of traction, so it's worth looking at. Personally, I can't really see Apple implementing something like this, because as I mentioned in the past, the company isn't...

    When Black Friday Deals Are Not Deals at All

    That point was discovered by CNNMoney.com, not that blog post. http://money.cnn.com/2009/11/20/news/economy/black_friday_doorbuster_secrets/index.htm Haha, I have a feeling that the author doesn't go out for Black Friday deals at all, he's just reporting on it like I do. Each year, there are...

    Are Retailers Slow to Catch on to Current Consumer?

    That motto is perfect for an R&D department, but yes, it's too bad it's not adhered more often. Oops, I just had an image of the Snuggie pop in my head again... now I feel nauseous.

    Top 20 Gadgets of 2000 - 2009

    Well, no one claims that the iPod was the first, but it does come down to just that... the simplicity (I'm willing to debate this, though) and also the marketing. Apple brought pocket audio to a mainstream audience, and that's proven by the fact that millions upon millions of units sold. When it...

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

    Great discussion here guys. I agree there, but I admit I have a sour taste in my mouth thanks to the fact that Episode Three is <em>still</em> not here. Ugh, don't say that! I might not care for games like WoW, but Blizzard is one of the few developers left that's stuck to its roots. We need...

    Sapphire Radeon HD 5750

    I'm still not sure what happened to the GPU, but I'm going to just chalk it up as being a fluke, since it makes no sense to just die like that. It was used for just four or five hours, so there had to be a fault somewhere. Either way, I agree... the HD 5800 series is just too good to ignore. But...

    When Black Friday Deals Are Not Deals at All

    From our front-page news:If I had to choose just one activity I could freely give up and not have to do ever again, I'd ponder over "doing the dishes", but I'd more realistically choose "shopping". Shopping on occasion can be enjoyable, but as the days pass, I'm finding it harder and harder to...

    Top 20 Gadgets of 2000 - 2009

    From our front-page news: Top lists are far from rare, and as we're getting close to 2010, I'm sure there will be countless more to look through in the next month or two (who knows, perhaps we might even have one). One posted at the website for Paste Magazine caught my eye, as it shows off the...

    Sapphire Radeon HD 5750

    For a graphics card that retails for a suggested $130, the Radeon HD 5750 sure packs in a lot of features. In addition to its solid performance and superb power consumption, the card supports multiple monitor outputs, DirectX 11, Eyefinity and more. To top it all off, Sapphire includes a voucher...
