I'm a bit late on reporting this, but it still should be reported. After going 13 full quarters, posting a loss with each one, AMD managed to post a long-overdue profit during Q4 2009. That's the good news. The bad news is that it looks like the only reason that happened was thanks to...

This past fall, NVIDIA filled out the remainder of its GT200 series of graphics cards with three models. For basic computing, there's the $40 GeForce 210, while for those looking to get a bit of light gaming done, there's the $60 GT 220. And to round things off, there's the $90 GT 240, which...

Earlier this week, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer gave the keynote address to the Nashville Technology Council, which was held at Trevecca Nazarene University (TNU) in Nashville, TN. Steve, who is on a multi-city tour to promote Microsoft, joined other prominent technology professionals like...

From time to time, NVIDIA sends editors a list of upcoming PC games in order to gauge the interest level, which leads to the company's decision on which games get the focus for GeForce optimization, and also helps it decide whether or not it might want to help with the launch process, in order...

During last spring's Game Developers Conference, a company by the name of OnLive took the stage and intrigued many with promises of high-end gaming on low-end PCs, or on no PC at all. The service was touted as being a service in the cloud that would allow you to play the latest games with little...

Want to make the upgrade to a solid-state drive, but prefer to avoid the high cost of adoption? Kingston helps ease that pain with its SSDNow V Series 40GB, a modest drive that features Intel's NAND and impressive G2 firmware, which helps it deliver stellar performance when compared to an HDD...

Who's with me in thinking that episodic content should only be done when it's certain that the "episodes" will be delivered in a timely manner? I'm not sure who first started the idea of releasing games in bite-sized chunks, but so far, it seems to have worked out for few. It could be argued...

At 26, I'm not what I'd consider old, but as I was growing up, I remember my mom limiting the amount of time I could spend sitting in front of a screen, whether it be a TV or a computer. Which sucked, because you have no idea how addicted I was to Blockout on our 286! Looking back though, I...

Are you excited for HTML5? Alright, I admit that's a little bit of a foolish question to ask, given that most people who would be excited for a new HTML spec would either be developers or serious Web enthusiasts. But, for the rest of us, refreshed HTML specs mean good things. The biggest thing...

Want a good laugh? Just think back to all of those published reports that laid out an imminent death for gaming as we knew it, either for game consoles or PCs. Of course, we all know that gaming is at its healthiest point right now (although, sales were down a bit in 2009), and there's a sheer...

Ten years ago, choosing a Web browser to use on a daily basis wasn't that difficult. For most people, Internet Explorer wasn't just a choice, it was a given, because who knew that other options existed? Well, of course they did, but back then, they were few, with Netscape Navigator being one of...

Ferrari. Lamborghini. Porsche. These are just a few go-to names that people tend to mention when talking about sports cars, but for the car enthusiast, most would argue that the best cars aren't built in some mega-factory, but rather by builders who prefer to keep things as small as possible...

When Cooler Master released its 690 chassis over two years ago, we're doubtful that even it could have predicted just how well-received it was going to be. It did a lot right in terms of design and function, and with the 690 II, those two factors are pushed even further. The result? The best...

The term "cell phone" used to mean one thing... a portable phone that used cellular towers to place a call. Today, the term almost seems defunct, because today's phones do much, much more than place a simple call. Strangely enough, today's phones seem to do that one single thing worse than...

Have a girlfriend that pushes buttons even without trying? There are a lot of entries on this list that you can probably relate to! http://www.manolith.com/2010/01/18/15-annoying-things-girlfriends-do-that-you-have-to-put-up-with/ My personal favorite is the first one... it's so true.

As a cat lover, I couldn't help but get a little choked up at this story. Just imagine, a cat... that boards the same bus every single day at around the same exact time, being hit by a car as he's headed to the bus one day. Ugh. Things happen, and cats sure don't belong on the road, but it's sad...

As I mentioned in our news last Friday, we paid a visit to Gigabyte's suite at the Venetian in Las Vegas a little over a week ago, and just as we expected, there were many, many motherboards on display. All that were there ranged between many differentchipsets , but one that the company was...

It's been a while since I launch took a look at Steam's hardware survey results, but in recent weeks, I've been told by more than one person that I need to get on it, so here we are. The reason I was pushed towards checking it out is because a lot has changed in the gaming landscape over the...

Love or hate the series, there's little denying that Infinity Ward has done right with Call of Duty. Each major addition to the series has sold really, really well, and with the latest iteration, Modern Warfare 2, the company hit an incredible feat... it's sold over $1 billion worth of product...

It has taken a bit longer than we all had hoped, but last week, NVIDIA gathered members of press together to dive deep into its upcoming Fermi architecture, where it divulged all the features that are set to give AMD a run for its money. In addition, the company also discussed PhysX, GPU...
