It's hard to believe that a full two months have passed since the iPad's announcement, but it's true. After that short stint of waiting, Apple launched the device over the weekend to much demand and zeal from fans and consumers all over. So much so, that it's becoming increasingly difficult...

A little over a week ago, NVIDIA finally took the veil off of its first GF100-based graphics cards, which came in the form of the GeForce GTX 470 and GTX 480. As we quickly found out, whether or not the cards were worth the wait depended on your point-of-view, but as it seemed, the majority...

During our last solid-state drive review we observed that the 120GB OCZ Vertex drives were selling for $289 after rebate, which works out to be $2.41 per GB. For an all-around solid performance drive that is capable of both respectable sequential writes and random small file operations...

OCZ is offering up a Vertex LE 100GB SSD to one lucky person. You enter, you just need to follow the company on Twitter and then retweet the proper tweet: http://twitter.com/OCZTechnology/statuses/11379387785

Do you think that Linux lacks some good games? If so, you're wrong! To be fair, Linux does miss most of the top commercial games on the market (not quite the fault of Linux itself, though), but aside from those, the selection seems to be limitless. Even indie developers are getting in on the...

Think having three monitors is a little bland? How about six, then? Options were scarce before, but with AMD's ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 edition, it has never been easier to get hooked up with such a configuration. We're still in the process of "working" hard for our final article, so for...

Well, it looks like it's time to add yet another entry onto the pile of how companies hurt legit consumers just to strike back at hackers. You might recall that back in January, we reported that self-proclaimed PS3 hacker, George Hotz, circumvented certain securities on the console and...

Have you ever had FRAPS running while playing a game, and couldn't hit your video record hotkey fast enough to capture something amazing that just happened? That can be frustrating, to say the least, but beepa, developer of the popular screenshot and benchmarking tool, has released a new...

Ahh, the age-old argument that never seems to die: Consoles vs. PC. You might imagine that because I get to test out the best PC gaming hardware on the market, I'd prefer gaming on that platform, but that's something that varies. I prefer FPS titles on the PC by far, but enjoy racing games...

We've learned a lot about NVIDIA's GF100 (Fermi) architecture over the past year, and after what seemed like an eternal wait, the company has officially announced the first two cards as part of the series; the GeForce GTX 470 and GTX 480. To start, we're taking a look at the latter, so read...

Feel like getting your OC on, but don't have a good reason to? Well, our friends at Gigabyte are giving you that reason, in the form of the "OC Guru Is YOU!" overclocking competition. All you need is a sweet graphics card overclock and achieve the best overall score with 3DMark Vantage, and...

It's known amongst tech enthusiasts that being the first to upgrade will always incorporate some additional level of risk. The problem with brand-new technology (especially that which expands the current envelope) is unforeseen complications that can develop. Or, new limitations that...

According to fellow tech site VR-Zone, Intel's upcoming chipsets to be based around the company's Sandy Bridge processors will be called H67 and P67. The former will be for the affordable segment and the latter for the mainstream. If the "67" moniker is going to be utilized only for Sandy...

By this point in time, I'm sure most are aware of the asinine DRM scheme that Ubisoft employs with Assassin's Creed 2. You might even recall that during the first weekend upon release, the company's servers were DDOS'ed which resulted in no PC gamer being able to play. Being that AC2 is an...

During a press conference today at PAX East, NVIDIA officially launched its first Fermi/GF100-based GeForce GTX 470 and GTX 480 graphics cards. We're still chugging away on our review, but are a bit behind due to some complications that arose during testing (which ironically have little to...

Earlier this month, I urged everyone to avoid purchasing Assassin's Creed 2. The reason had to do with the absurd DRM scheme, one that essentially ruins your gameplay if you A) don't have an Internet connection at the time or B) your Internet connection happens to drop off during gameplay...

Earlier this week, I caught an article over at Ars that took a look at the upcoming "music store" that will become a feature in Ubuntu's upcoming "Lucid Lynx" release (10.4 LTS). Essentially, via GNOME's popular Rhythmbox, users will be able to purchase music right through the application...

The advantages of SSDs over traditional hard drives are widely known. Enthusiasts searching for higher levels of performance have long favored combining several slow platter-based drives together in a RAID array to better mask the latency issues, even while increasing overall rear and write...

After EA was paid a visit from an investor, plans for strategic "Premium Downloadable Content" came to light. Analyst Michael Pachter wrote that "PDLC would be sold for $10 or $15 through Xbox Live and PlayStation Network, and would essentially be a very long game demo, along the lines of...
