Intel today sent out a press release touting the fact that their processors can be found inside of 80% of the world's super computers. Not a bad feat. Now if only I could get one of these supercomputers in for testing... HAMBURG, Germany, June 23, 2009 – More supercomputers than ever are using...

From our front-page news:Psst... guess what? Did you realize that mobile computing is ultra-popular? Of course you do. In fact, it might be impossible to not realize the fact. Ten years ago, cell phones were beginning to catch on, but they were far from being so popular that everyone owned one...

From our front-page news: If there's one thing manufacturers are starting to clue into, it's the fact that product naming schemes are far too confusing for the regular consumer. Take, for example, the ATI Radeon 9800 PRO and the NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+. One is vastly superior to the other, but...

From our front-page news:Every so often, I'll stumble on a game that seems rather simplistic and boring at first, but becomes incredibly addictive fast. When a friend linked me to "Minecraft", I wasn't sure what to think. Each level is generated on the fly, and it's there for you to alter...

The MARS dual-GTX 285 card that ASUS was showing off at Computex is produced in a limited quantity (1,000), so we already knew that the price was going to be high. But now that it's available for "pre-order" at SCAN, we can see it's actually going to be sold for a lot more than anyone probably...
