    Banned for distorting time?

    Alright, I'm not sure if this is actually real or not, but it's still humorous: http://imgur.com/RMwAN.png Via: http://digg.com/pc_games/Banned_for_Distorting_Time_PIC

    Are Gold-Buying Services As Worthy As They Claim to Be?

    From our front-page news:Ahh, the Super Bowl. A time to get together with your best buds to watch what's arguably the most important sports game of the year in the US. It's a time for joy, or if your favorite team didn't make it, regret. Whatever your stance though, everyone always enjoys what...

    How Long Should Developers Support their Software?

    From our front-page news: When Apple's Mac OS X "Snow Leopard" came out last weekend, many ran to their local Apple reseller to pick up their $29 copy. Upgrading to a new OS is always a fun occasion, usually. You get the latest features of the OS, refinements and of course, security patches -...

    AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition

    With Intel's Lynnfield processors right around the corner, what better time could there be for AMD to release another speed-bumped Phenom II X4 to help remain competitive? The Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition rolls in at ~$240, and it competes very nicely with Intel's closest competitor, and in...

    US ranks 28th for Internet speed

    Ahh, this is kind of depressing. I'm sure Canada isn't too far behind, but the USA ranks 28th in the world for overall Internet speeds, which honestly, is ridiculous. The USA is a nation rich with technology, yet the country lags seriously behind in overall Internet speed. It's an embarrassment...

    Can you drink milk?

    I noticed an article the other day at USA Today that reported on a study saying that 60% of adults can't drink milk. I admit, that floored me, because while I knew that many were lactose intolerant, I never would have imagined that the number would be so staggeringly high. It's humorous, but the...

    Gigabyte GTX 275 contest...

    Bah, that sucks. I didn't realize there were strings attached. I guess that means we'll have to hold such a contest soon to make up for it ;-)

    CipherChain Enables Hardware-based AES Encryption to S-ATA Storage

    An image on the company's product page shows an SSD being used, so I'd imagine that the performance hit would be minimal. I couldn't resist the urge to ask the company for a kit, and one's now en route, so I hope to have it within a week. I'll post a brief article on it shortly after I receive...

    Anand's followup to "The SSD Anthology" is published

    I didn't realize he had two articles to precede this one, but this one was indeed informative. Took me about an hour and a half to go through and do additional research while doing so. I just hope I can retain all the information for more than a few days for once ;-)

    P2P Users Spend More than Non-P2P Users?

    This is kind of what services like Hulu are doing, right? It seems to be working out well for them. The problem with no money coming from consumers is that advertising all over a sudden becomes really expensive. For advertisers, the more people that watch the content, the more the ads are going...

    Ars Technica's Exhaustive Look at OS X "Snow Leopard"

    From our front-page news:Apple's Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" was released last weekend to a lot of mixed reaction. While the $29 price tag is undoubtedly easy to stomach compared to the $100+ consumers usually pay for a new OS, many still don't believe that they got their money's worth. Our...

    Windows 7 Family Pack Available for Pre-Order

    From our front-page news: Last month, we posted about Microsoft's Anytime Upgrade and Family Pack pricing for Windows 7, and it looks like the latter is kicking off right now, in pre-order form. It's not yet available on Amazon.com, but both eCOST.com and Provantage have them listed - both for a...

    Anand's followup to "The SSD Anthology" is published

    Thanks for the post... I read through and posted a news item for it:Earlier this year, Anand Lal Shimpi posted an article at his site called, "The SSD Anthology". It was a ridiculously comprehensive look at the current (at the time) state of solid-state disks, from their perks to the leading...

    Gigabyte passed along a contest to win their GTX 275, just by signing up to their newsletter: http://event.gigabyte.com.tw/EVENT0810/index.html

    Uncharted 2 Couldn't Happen on Xbox 360?

    I couldn't agree more about the audio... that's what I want to hear more about as the game development progresses. I think it's that kind of dedication to audio that's going to make surround sound so worthwhile. If sound is truly that precise, I am not sure a stereo setup would avail the same...

    How to Play Fallout 3 On Intel

    Hi Ryan: Nah, I won't be able to for a while due to time. I don't even have my laptop at the moment because I loaned it to a family member, so I'm not sure when I'll get it back. Sorry for not being able to help right now.

    What Caused So Many People to Stick to Firefox 2.x?

    Hmm, that's bizarre. I have credentials for our forums and CMS, both of which are on the Techgage.com domain, and my credentials are saved for both. I'm not sure if it matters, but one is a subdomain (the forums) and the other is techgage.com/something. Either way, that issue you describe would...

    What's Up with NVIDIA?

    That's what I'm waiting to see... if NVIDIA will be able to create a Core iX chipset. Something tells me that there will be a lot of hassle about getting it done, but I'm doubtful Intel is going to be too successful in blocking it. Hard to say, though.

    ASRock, Asus and Nvidia.

    I'm actually surprised that they allow you to enable AHCI... no complaints though! Glad you got the machine working even smoother!

    Logitech's "Darkfield" mice track on glass

    True... those specs should be included. These aren't touted as being gaming mice though, so information like that isn't important to their target audience. Perhaps we'll get a proper gaming mouse using this technology soon. It could be that 1500+ DPI is a technical limitation using their new...
