    SteelSeries Shift Gaming Keyboard Review

    Hmm... only minimum language options for standard keysets. As usual, Portuguese, the 6th most spoken language in the world is left out in favor of Korean (17th) or German (10th). I'm not sure I'll ever cope with this. But whatever.... Did read that paragraph, but somehow missed the bit about...

    SteelSeries Shift Gaming Keyboard Review

    Great review Jamie! First my apologies for replying so late. It's weird because I read through keyboard reviews like they were my last. I have a fetish for keyboards. Love this peripheral for some weird reason. But here I was suffering from a combination of lack of memory or feeling lazy. Your...

    Geico.

    Oh rofl! The Abraham Lincoln one nearly made me piss my pants. My belly still hurts.

    Geico.

    I admit I never understood this "did you say in my voice" memes. But, generally speaking, I'm not into the meme thing. So that probably explains it.

    Overkill for a GTX560Ti !!?

    I'm not even sure I understand the point. Maintaining stability, this card core overclocks up to 1000 MHz on my Asus model. I have it currently set at 950 MHz core and 1335 MHz memory. Temperature never reaches 85c. I think it's a waste. Maybe if I saw something like this on a 580... at least...

    Steam Databases Compromised; Password Changes Recommended

    Yeah. But even if it was turned off, this is the one type of notification that should trump that setting. No email here either. No excuses. The fact this information is being sent to the press only (and apparently only to a small number of users) is not good. Unacceptable even. I don't want to...

    Sonic Generations Review

    Not my type of game. I'm afraid was never a fan of Sonic games. Although, to be true, don't know very well why. I like platform game in general, well since the old console days of the 80s (Manic Miner, Jet Set Willy, Dynamite Dan). But boy, was that an entertaining review! The last picture...

    MTV rocks

    ... a demented chimpanzee with a faulty hearing aid. Nothing like a good MTV Awards to realize how irrelevant this network has become to the music lovers around the world. This time it was the European MTV award, where Lady Gage got 4 awards and Justin Bieber got two awards. Where a fan...

    When games reflect reality and remind us we are human

    Indeed. But EA could do divorces.

    Greg's software pick of the day

    Note that "newer" is 5 years old. SpaceMonger has been discontinued for that long. I used it for some time. But couldn't get used to the treemap graphical representation of the disk usage.

    Greg's software pick of the day

    Day 3: CSVed. A CVS file editor. Tired of Excel messing with your CVS files, pretending it knows how you want dates formated or how your numeric values should be represented? Me too. That's why I don't use Excel anymore to create or edit CSV files.

    How-To: Check an MD5 Hash

    Excellent tip! One program I use and find invaluable on Windows is HashTab. It adds an Hash tab to the File Properties panel. Just right-click the file you wish to see the hash for, or compare an hash to, select properties from the dropdown menu and click the new File Hashes tab. You can set...

    Battlefield 3 Sells 5 Million Units in First Week

    >> Very well, in fact. How does 5 million units sound? They have this huge 100 meter ad in town covering the whole side of a walled building. 5 millions sounds great, but they are probably also beating marketing records. For me, the game quickly went from much anticipated to "meh!" status...

    What Caused the Death of Microsoft's Courier?

    I never heard of it before. But after reading this, the referenced article and some more over the web, I can probably sympathize with the idea that the software base of the product didn't line up with Microsoft plans. What on the other hand is very hard for me to understand is how the physical...

    A Look at Frozenbyte's Trine 2

    Hehe. Good on you! It's shaping up to be a great game indeed. Just as the folks at Frozenbyte have accustomed us. Update Meanwhile, Frozenbyte has issued an update to the beta the day before this preview and also clarified some information about the graphics settings. This didn't allow me...

    Greg's software pick of the day

    It's indeed a great tool. And the freeware version is all that is usually required. The Professional version adds various graphical representation of the disk usage, which is mostly just unneeded fluff. But it does come with one excellent duplicate file finder. It searches for duplicate files...

    Help with a 3TB drive

    On the command prompt type diskpart and answer to any possible UAC prompt. On the new diskpart prompt, type list disk. Note the Disk ### column. Type, select disk ### (with ### being the disk you wish to delete. Potentially the disk with partition 0 with a size of 746 GB) Finish by typing...

    Sporadic CPU usage

    This is rob pulling a gotcha, folks. Don't believe him. It's photoshopped from his own electroencephalograph as he tries to understand how this benchmark works. Notice the mental exertion.

    Apple Rumored to be Considering Pulling the Plug on its Mac Pro Line

    I don't know... I just don't really see Apple touting the Mac Pro line as they used to. Not 3 years ago there's was a marketing strategy that simply seems to have disappeared. We might see another upgrade. Maybe two, or three; who knows? But its becoming self-evident this division at Cupertino...
