From our front-page news: As 2009 draws to a close, I'd have to say that of all the big tech news stories to happen over the past year, the back and forth between Psystar and Apple has got to be one of the most interesting. It all started back in April when the company announced that its Mac...

From our front-page news: When Intel first announced its plans to launch its own discrete graphics card, Larrabee, it seemed like everyone had an opinion. If you talked to a company such as AMD or NVIDIA, laughter, doubt, and more laughter was sure to come about. The problem, of course, is that...

From our front-page news: Each year, the well-respected Car and Driver magazine holds a "10Best" competition, where the editors get together and discuss which models deserve to be in the top ten for the year, based on various criteria. The cars don't have to be ultra-expensive in order to place...

From our front-page news:In late October, Intel released both a new firmware upgrade and SSD Toolbox, which enabled TRIM support on its G2 X25-M solid-state disks. Due to a data corruption bug, however, the firmware was pulled off its support site within days, and those who didn't already...

It may seem like a given that personal data should be kept secure, and for the most part, achieving that goal on a home PC isn't too difficult. But, what about a thumb drive? Kingston's DataTraveler Locker+ is designed in such a way that if someone ever finds your thumb drive, they'll never be...

From our front-page news: The world of Linux is a fun one to be part of, because when it comes down to it, the sheer amount of choice, from applications to distributions, is unparalleled.

From our front-page news: In last week's review of Gigabyte's P55A-UD4P, I raised a concern about using either S-ATA 3.0 or USB 3.0 devices and still achieving the best graphics performance possible. The problem, is that because these devices share the PCI-E bus, and also thanks to the lack of...

From our front-page news: As we slowly inch towards the new year, I can't help but think about the sheer number of "Top xx" lists I've looked at throughout 2009. There were many this year, some good and some "meh", and when I think of the good ones, I tend to think of Lifehacker, since most...

It seems that some ridiculous gang in Peru have been going around killing people for, get this... their fat. Apparently, human fat...

From our front-page news:There are few pieces of software that have remained in our testing since the beginning of the site, and one of those few is SiSoftware's SANDRA. The reason we like it is because it's robust, and it's been a trusted diagnostic / benchmarking tool for many years. Even...

From our front-page news: As I mentioned in our news earlier this week, there's a lot of advertising I can tolerate, but there's also a lot of advertising that repulses me. One such form of advertising I can't stand are scams, and I'm sure the only people against me on that are the scammers...

From our front-page news: The world of audio is a complicated one. You may know that you have a keen sense of hearing, and can pinpoint the most minuscule tones of a song, but if you want to discuss it with a fellow audiophile, there's unlikely to be a simple agreement on things. There's also...
