From our front-page news: GeoCities. Chances are, if you've been on the Internet since the mid-to-late 1990's, you have something to say about GeoCities. You might hate the service, as it resulted in thousands of useless websites, or you might have nothing but praise, since it was an outlet that...

The value in PC components today is fantastic, with the chassis being no exception. With its M59 mid-tower chassis, NZXT proves that value doesn't have to mean cheap, as this one is packed. It features a cool design, LED lighting, features usually only seen on higher-end models, and of course, a...

From our front-page news: Apple updated both its MacBook and iMac line-ups yesterday, and though I have little interest in the company's products, I decided to head on over to its site and see what was new. At the same time, I also wanted to see what kind of "Apple tax" these new machines had...

Crave high-end audio, but use Linux? The situation surrounding this has been bad in the past, but that's not so much the case now, especially where ASUS' Xonar family of cards are concerned, including the headphone-specific Essence STX. Thanks to dedicated developers, the support today is just...

From our front-page news: There's a lot of competition in the gaming peripheral market, but one company that seems to stay on top in gamer's hearts year after years is Logitech. Part of that could be the company's reach, since they've sold more peripherals than anyone else, and are available in...

Found this video on Digg the other day. It's pretty cool, that people were this fast at typing long before they had a screen to look at while doing it. Any way you look at it, THIS is freaking fast. It's a wonder he doesn't regularly break the keys right off. <object height="385"...

From our front-page news:I'm a man who does not enjoy his commercials. Like the ads on our site, I understand why commercials, online of off, are necessary, but the truly good commercials are far too rare. Most are boring, repetitive, and grow old fast. There are special occasions when that's...

From our front-page news: One of the hottest TV shows of the season, and even previous TV seasons, is Seth MacFarlane's Family Guy. I admit that I personally thought the episodes so far this season have been mediocre at best (and I'm a huge FG fan), but it seems like I'm one of the few who feel...

From our front-page news: The harsh economy is making it harder than ever for companies to post profits, but Intel is one of the rarer exceptions. It isn't only publishing impressive revenue reports, but is even exceeding its own expectations. So much so, that with the posted revenue of $9.4...

From our front-page news: There have been a lot of doubters around NVIDIA's Tegra architecture, and some of it might be for good reason. Last summer when the technology was first exposed, we were promised some huge things, and no current or upcoming Tegra device looks to live up to that initial...

From our front-page news: When Apple's "Snow Leopard" operating system hit the market in late August, it promised some big things, despite offering such a small feature-set. The goal wasn't to bombard consumers with new features, but rather deliver a much faster OS experience, and that was...

From our front-page news:For as long as it's been possible to write a graphics driver in such a way that it can inflate the results of popular benchmarking applications, it's been done. NVIDIA is one company that's been accused of it many times in the past, most recently when it changed its...

AMD may have released its first Evergreen GPUs mere weeks ago, but don't think it's slowing down for anybody. Today, the company has followed-up with its first mid-range parts, belonging to the HD 5700 series. Performance is much more modest on these new cards, but no features have been...
