    Even NASCAR is going 3D!

    NASCAR might bore me to tears, but it's hard to ignore the fact that another huge sport is taking the 3D route. Interestingly though, this time it has nothing to do with your TV, but rather your PC! I'll just paste the e-mail we received from NVIDIA verbatim: When the green flag is waived at...

    Thermaltake Gears Up for eSports Gaming Peripheral Line

    During a meeting with Thermaltake at this year's CES in January, the company gave us a quick preview of a new gaming peripheral line that would be released later in the year. At Computex, the exposure of this line was amped up in a big way, with numerous keyboards, mice and even gaming...

    Corsair Survivor GTR 32GB Flash Drive

    As the market begins to fill up with USB 3.0 storage devices, it might seem like we're nearing a USB 2.0 end. But that will still take some time, and as Corsair helps prove with its Survivor GTR, there's still life left in the now-aging standard. Not only is this drive ultra-fast, but it's also...

    "Pornography makes up 37% of the total number of web pages online, according to a new study published by Optenet, a SaaS provider. According to the report, which looked at a representative sample of around four million extracted URLs, adult content on the Internet increased by 17% in the first...

    Using Sony's Media Go to Backup and Restore Your PSP's Files

    I'm not much of an "on-the-go" gamer, but I do appreciate a good handheld console to keep me occupied on a plane, or to help wind me down before I catch some zzz's. Although I own both a Nintendo DS and Sony PSP, it's been the latter that has taken the vast majority of my time between them...

    Trojan Discovered in Linux Version of UnrealIRCd

    The reasons one might choose to use an alternative OS varies depending on the person, and their goals, but one of the more common arguments made towards using a non-Windows OS is overall PC security. It's a good one, too. Microsoft's Windows, as a market-leading OS, has been the target of...

    Early Example of Flash Being Ported to iPhone

    Despite the rather enormous hype hovering around Apple's iPhone 4G, a common complaint over the past couple of months has been the company's renewed interest in dismissing Adobe's Flash as being a worthwhile technology. Some people, including me, have simply written off Apple products for...

    Vuvuzela... there's an app for that?!

    The much-touted "fact" might just be true... "there's an app for that". This World Cup has been more annoying than any other to listen to thanks to the overuse of the vuvuzela instrument, which is little more than a $1 (to build) plastic horn that, when blown into, emits an outrageously loud and...

    Microsoft's Kinect Launching November 4 with 15 Game Titles

    Well, it's official. Microsoft's heavily-anticipated motion gaming product, Project Natal, will be launching this coming November under the name of Kinect. Similar to the Wii, a motion bar of sorts will be required, but that's where the comparison to Wii ends. Kinect's bar features three...

    Need for Speed bringing back Hot Pursuit!

    FINALLY! It looks as though the next Need for Speed title is going to revisit the Hot Pursuit series, one where there's a lot of running from the cops, and a lot of play where you are the cops. Aside from these modes, the Hot Pursuit series (Hot Pursuit 1 and 2 were the third and sixth in the...

    A Look at Game Development During the Amiga Years

    If I could choose to relive an era of gaming, it might just be the mid-to-late 80's. At that time, I was very young, but that's part of what I believe made video gaming so much fun, and caused the immersion levels to be so high. Even at that time, there were numerous games to play, across a...

    Xbox 360 "slim" hands-on

    It might have taken close to 5 years, but Microsoft is prepared to roll out a completely refined and improved Xbox 360. The result is a console that's much sexier, much glossier, and according to Ars Technica, a <em>lot</em> quieter. Looks good to me...

    Wicked Laser's Spyder III Pro Arctic is Ultra-Powerful and Super Affordable

    One of the coolest "toys" I'd like to own is a good laser, and I'm sure many of you don't even need an explanation as to why. Having the ability to burn things with a freaking laser is simply cool, not to mention be able to shoot a beam of light at something a hundred meters away. Many times...

    MAINGEAR F131 contest

    http://www.maingear.com/winf131/ All you need to do is input your e-mail address by the looks of things. Couldn't be much easier! Strange about the HD 4890, and the lack of rules and regulations, though. I'd assume this contest might just be for those in the US, but I could be wrong.

    Checking out Gigabyte's HQ

    Since I had a couple of days to kill after Computex ended, I decided to take a trip to Gigabyte's HQ in Taiwan which happens to be about a 25 - 30 minute drive from the center of Taipei. It's not here where product is built and shipped (there are multiple factories, with one being located in...

    ASUS Pairs Hydra and Radeon HD 5770 with Immensity Motherboard

    One of the cooler aspects of Computex is that at each turn, you may spot a product that causes you to exclaim, "neat!", "cool!" or "innovative!". For the most part, we have reason to be excited for a lot of these products, as they're usually set to be launched in the marketplace not long...

    ASUS Updates Lamborghini VX Notebook, Introduces Eee PC Version

    The first notebook I ever took for a test drive for the site was ASUS' Lamborghini VX1 (see, the "test drive" thing works). At that time, I didn't ponder the future of the series too much, but assumed that there would be plans to unveil a new model every so often. As we see today, that...
