    Could this be the best motherboard review ever?

    Haha, interesting. It's a joke though... as if someone is going to take a review like that seriously. Bah. It's timing out here as well... not sure what's up. I've never quite understood the draw of that naked news. I mean, how busy would you have to be to kill two birds in one stone like...

    Benchmarking the Latest Hardware is Fun, Unless... Part Two?

    That might be, but I'm still highly skeptical. After all, it's the Gigabyte board here that's proven to be the weak link, and they actually renamed AHCI in the BIOS. It seems, to me, that they did a little more than simple renaming, or else this is all just a major coincidence. As I mentioned, I...

    Benchmarking the Latest Hardware is Fun, Unless... Part Two?

    As I mentioned in the above news post, I have re-imaged these machines hundreds of times, and have even in the past (for personal testing) carried an OS from one motherboard to another with a completely different chipset, and still have this work. This is the <strong><em>first</em></strong> time...

    Benchmarking the Latest Hardware is Fun, Unless... Part Two?

    From our front-page news:Earlier this month, I posted a small rant about how benchmarking can be fun unless something goes wrong. I'm not sure what it is, but no matter what I do, or how hard I try to get on top of things, something is always destined to go wrong. This past weekend was no...

    Is the Zune HD All it's Cracked Up to Be?

    From our front-page news: Last week, I spoke about Microsoft's refusal to sell the Zune HD outside of US. After all, it looks as though it's more than capable of delivering a compelling experience, thanks in part to NVIDIA's Tegra SoC (system-on-a-chip). So, why would they shun the rest of the...

    Lenovo L220X 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor

    Well, one option is to build another PC for use around the house. Home servers are cheaper than ever to build. Or if you wanted to use two monitors, you could still use the 19" for a second desktop on your main PC. There are many things you could do with it really.

    Is the Time Right for Apple to Produce Netbooks?

    From our front-page news: Over the course of the past few years, there's been a major shift in what people want or need in a computer, especially a mobile one. While 13" or 14" 7 or 8lb offerings used to be okay, with the advent of the netbook, it became clear quick that consumers have wanted...

    Last.fm to Launch HD Radio Stations in Top 4 US Markets

    From our front-page news: In today's day and age, where the Internet can deliver everything from music to movies to games to news to virtually anything else you need, it seems unlikely that something like typical radio will ever grow from this point forward. In fact, numbers are likely dwindling...

    Taking Pictures from Space... On a Budget

    From our front-page news: For the sake of retaining good mental health, keeping your mind active with a good hobby is one of the best things you can do. Hobbies could range from, oh I dunno, playing with a paperclip, to taking pictures from space. One is far more expensive than the other, and...

    ATI's Eyefinity Brings Multi-Display Gaming to New Heights

    Well, it depends on how you look at it. Generally speaking, the more monitors you have, the further away from them you'll have to be (I couldn't imagine sitting right in front of 6x 24"). But despite the resolution increasing, the lack of "jaggies" isn't going to disappear. The resolution is...

    Microsoft Attacks Linux at the Retail Level

    I forget where I read it, but Microsoft openly admitted to this "training" and didn't seem to apologetic about it, so I'm guessing the answer's no, sadly.

    Windows XP Usage Continues to Drop

    During August, our reader Windows stats went like this: Windows XP: 56.36% Windows Vista: 30.00% Windows NT: 11.53% Windows Server 2003: 1.36% Windows 2000: 0.63% Windows 98: 0.08% Windows CE: 0.03% Windows ME: 0.01% Windows 3.1: 0.00% (one visitor!) The thing is though, it's hard to really...

    The PlayStation 3 Slim is Great, But...

    You're right... and it sucks for the end-consumer (as usual). Oh well. Well, Linux cannot be installed on the Slim... just the older versions of the console. To be honest though, there isn't much use, due to the lack of applications that are optimized to run on the Cell processor. It's fun for...

    Who's a sportsfan around here?

    Whoa, what in the world is with all the Manchester United fans in here?! I agree Rebeca... I'm not against the US, but if Brazil would have lost that game, I don't know what I'd do. Granted, the "new" Brazilian team isn't as legendary as the old, but even so.

    Conan O'Brien and Andy Richter do anime

    That's the best part! And yes, Hulu's advertisers don't like to see increases in their revenue, so the site is limited to those inside the US.

    Who's a sportsfan around here?

    Haha, now that I could get behind! The NFL season kicked off to a great start so far! Colts beat out Jacksonville (although it was a close one). I caught the end of the Cincinnati v. Denver game too... intense ending right there. Time for me to get back to work :D
