I kind of agree, but he might have been basing his price on what he figured people would pay. It's a modest price, and who's going to spend $100 to secure their $400 phone? That's kind of excessive. Plus, I am sure a law was broken, given he logged into people's phones and overwrote files...

From our front-page news: For those who were hoping to see some USB 3.0 support in an Intel chipset, you'll have to wait a while. Oddly enough, it was NVIDIA who began pushing the fact that Intel's chipsets won't support the new standard until 2011, but judging by comments from Intel employees...

From our front-page news: If there's an interesting method of making some cash, someone is bound to figure out how to execute it to the best of their ability. Over the years, we've heard of stories where someone would code up a robust virus/trojan, release it, and then do horrible things to...

From our front-page news: There are times when advertising can be extremely effective at getting the point across, and one way to accomplish this is to single out a competitor and attempt at proving to the general public that you're company is better than theirs. For the past few years, we've...

From our front-page news: When the Nintendo Wii came out towards the end of 2006, no one, and I mean no one could have predicted what was to become. I can't think of a single product out there that suffered shortages for more than a year, but the Wii did. People I knew who didn't even like video...

From our front-page news: Where Windows and Mac OS X releases are concerned, people take notice. After all, each OS gets a complete new version only every few years. That's not so much the case with Linux, however, where there's a sheer number of new distro versions each month. So when one...

From our front-page news:Given that we at Techgage are so acutely focused on system components and personal PC building, we rarely ever post about pre-built machines. But, every so often such a machine will grab me by the shirt and force me to read what it's all about. One such computer was...

From our front-page news: Earlier this year, Western Digital issued a press release that revealed something not too surprising... that it was getting into the solid-state side of things. This happened via way of an acquisition of SiliconSystems, and we saw the first products to result from this...

From our front-page news: A few weeks ago, to much fanfare, Apple announced a slew of new products for general consumption. These included new iMac models, coming in 21.5-inch and 27-inch sizes, updated MacBook's with LED-backlit displays, and of course, the Magic Mouse. After these launches, I...

From our front-page news: As a long-time user of Linux, and full-time going on three-and-a-half years, I've been able to test out a variety of applications, with a core few that I use each and every day. Out of them all, though, few are closed-source, with the exceptions of VMware Workstation...

Whether you live in an apartment or a house ten feet from another, it's important to make sure that sound levels coming from your home aren't going to result in trouble from the neighbors. But don't fret, as there are simple ways for you to tweak your sound to maximize the experience without...

From our front-page news: Last week, the Wall Street Journal broke a story that a previous AMD executive had a case filed against them as a result of insider-trading. The executive was revealed as Hector Ruiz, who first joined AMD in 2000 as President and CEO and resigned last summer. When AMD's...

From our front-page news: Long before Windows 7's launch, reaching the October 22 date seemed to take forever. This wasn't helped by the insane amount of advertising for the new OS, and constant updates flowing around the Web. But, it's been 10 days since that date was hit, and now we seem to be...

From our front-page news:When thinking of a quality game engine, names that come to mind usually include Source, iD Tech, Unreal Engine, CryEngine and others, but rarely do you hear the name "Unigine". The company started in 2005, and since then, have brought on well over twenty licensees who...

From our front-page news:I don't post much MMO-related news on the site, unless of course World of Warcraft sets yet another record, but today is special for a good reason, and I can't go without saying anything. On November 2, 1999, Turbine Entertainment Software (now Turbine, Inc.) released...

From our front-page news: Are you alive and breathing? Good. Chances are that you're also a member of a site like Facebook or MySpace, and don't feel bad... it seems like the vast majority is as well. My grandmother never uses her PC, and she finds most things about it complicated, but she's on...

I've never seen a cat fight quite like this before. Or rather, cat argument. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kx1-USbXVRk&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param...

Since it's a closed-source driver, Ubuntu will do that, but after allowing the driver to run, it should just work. Here's an image to give an example: http://techgage.com/viewimg/?img=/reviews/hp/dv2/hp_dv2_software_09.png&desc=HP%20dv2%2012-inch%20Notebook Like in Windows, there should have...

I couldn't agree more. There's a point when the effort isn't reasonable given the gain, and this is a perfect example. I'm not sure it's worth worrying about. Both the Xeon and Core i9 Gulftown's should be out at around the same time (if not the same day), and the Xeon will either be the same...

Whoops, I should have clarifed a bit better... you <em>can</em> use more then 4 cores, but only on multi-CPU machines. So on a Core i7, you'll get access to two physical cores, and that's it. I'm really not sure why there's a limitation, but either Intel or VMware should have taken it into...
