From our front-page news: Since the console's launch, Microsoft has received a lot of flack for the infamous "Red Ring of Death", named after the red ring that appears around the console's start button. If you happen to see it, you're going to be in for some disappointment. My first Xbox 360...

From our front-page news:Artists don't have to look too far to find a good image manipulation tool. More often than not, Adobe's Photoshop is right at the top of their list. But the problem is obvious... the cost. At $700, it's not exactly welcoming to the novice, or even those who are...

Over the years, I've received some great product, some bad product, and some product that went up in smoke. I've also received some product that was shipped in the strangest way possible. I remember receiving a 30" monitor from Gateway in a plastic case so thick, I swear a bullet wouldn't go...

During a private meeting with Intel during IDF 09, more details were divulged about their upcoming Westmere architecture, which includes the Clarkdale desktop and Arrandale mobile chips. Although most of the information has been speculated for a while, we have some initial performance and power...

From our front-page news:We first reported on Lucid's multi-GPU solution last fall, and to be honest, I didn't expect much of an update by this point. I was wrong, as the company states that they will be shipping product next month. It won't be an add-in solution, at least right off, but rather...

From our front-page news: At IDF, there are many technologies floating about that are close to shipping, including S-ATA 3 (6 Gbit/s). On the show floor is Marvell, showing off their latest controller for upcoming S-ATA 6 Gbit/s drives, along with an ASUS P7DP55D Premium motherboard, which will...

From our front-page news:There has been some doubt over the past few months (especially from competitors) as to whether or not OCZ would deliver their PCI-E "Z-Drive" solid-state disk to market, but according to a press release issued late last week, we should be able to expect immediate...

From our front-page news:It's a little embarrassing to admit, but up until now, I haven't given Windows 7 much of an honest go. It's not due to a lack of interest, but rather boils down to available time, which has been scarce lately. But, since we received some RTM copies of the OS recently, I...

Cooler Master has just released its first gaming mouse under the CM Storm branding, and it happens to be quite good. Targeting more serious gamers, there's the ability for robust macros, all of which will be saved right on the mouse itself. To add to the cool-factor, there's even color-varying...

From our front-page news: When Intel released their Lynnfield processors a few weeks ago, we saw some unbelievable value. These Quad-Cores, equipped with their robust Turbo feature, were simply fast, as heck. But, while the Core i5-750 comes in at $200, and P55 motherboards kick off at $109...

From our front-page news:There's always been mystery surrounding how much Microsoft charges OEM's for copies of Windows, but part of the truth was revealed during the Jefferies Annual Technology Conference in New York. Microsoft's Charles Songhurts, the GM of Corporate Strategy, said that the...

WinX DVD sent us a note to say that they're giving away their "WinX DVD Ripper Platinum" software for free until the end of the month (normally retails for $24.95). I've not used the software, but I plan to next time I need to rip a DVD. http://www.winxdvd.com/specialoffer/sep09.htm

From our front-page news: Our news section is home to numerous topics, but when it comes to media players, it's usually either an Apple or Microsoft product we're talking about. But, those two companies are far from being the two only players in the market. Another is Archos, and they're...

From our front-page news: Although Microsoft has many features they can tout about their upcoming Windows 7, InfoWorld is beginning to question whether the OS' touch capabilities should be one of them. I don't entirely disagree, as I have found little use for touch capabilities outside of...

From our front-page news:If there's one thing that never fails to make me experience some nostalgia, it's either playing classic games, or reading about them. I pretty much grew up on the PC, with my first "real" PC (meaning one that didn't break) being a 286. From there, we kept upgrading and...

From our front-page news:Earlier this month, I posted a small rant about how benchmarking can be fun unless something goes wrong. I'm not sure what it is, but no matter what I do, or how hard I try to get on top of things, something is always destined to go wrong. This past weekend was no...

From our front-page news: Intel yesterday announced a few organizational changes, and one of the most notable is the loss of one of their top executives, Mr. Pat Gelsinger. Pat was the General Manager of the Digital Enterprise Group for the company, and after 30 years of breathing in microchips...

From our front-page news: Last week, I spoke about Microsoft's refusal to sell the Zune HD outside of US. After all, it looks as though it's more than capable of delivering a compelling experience, thanks in part to NVIDIA's Tegra SoC (system-on-a-chip). So, why would they shun the rest of the...

From our front-page news: Over the course of the past few years, there's been a major shift in what people want or need in a computer, especially a mobile one. While 13" or 14" 7 or 8lb offerings used to be okay, with the advent of the netbook, it became clear quick that consumers have wanted...
