From our front-page news: If you're asking yourself, "What the heck is a 'bookmarklet'?", don't worry... I didn't know what one was either until I spotted an article over at TechRadar. As you likely assumed, 'bookmarklet' is a portmanteau of 'bookmark' and 'applet', and how they function is...

With the recent announcement of Google's Chrome OS, open source zealots everywhere have been licking their lips raw and playing their trumpets loud. But is another big corporation going to be a good thing for OSS? We take a trip down memory lane and look for whether Google can (or wants to)...

From our front-page news: Ever get home after an exciting trip of running to some retail store to purchase the latest gadget that you just had to have, only to open up the box to find something other than what you were expecting?

From our front-page news: It's been a good two months since we all found out that 3DRealms had shut down, and a lot has happened since. Of course as we now know, 3DRealms hasn't actually shut down completely, but rather currently exists with a truly skeletal team. It's also been found out that...

From our front-page news:When Palm released their Pre smartphone, one of the perks was something unique. That of course was the ability to sync up with Apple's iTunes music software, and this is a feature that Palm themselves boasted about in order to sell more units. Well, as it turns out...

From our front-page news:Been holding out on building a new computer because Lynnfield is en route? Well, it doesn't look like the wait will be that much longer, as the prospective release date is hovering around September. That's not straight out of Intel's mouth, but the rumor-mill, of course...

From our front-page news: When Google announced their Chrome OS just last week, speculation begin almost instantaneously with regards to what exactly it would become. Google isn't too clear on the subject, which doesn't help things too much, but as it appears now, the OS is not designed to be a...

From our front-page news: Although I don't partake in the activity much anymore, I used to be huge into overclocking memory. Even though at stock speeds, memory doesn't really offer mind-blowing differences in performance over a slower kit, something about pushing the frequencies to ridiculous...

From our front-page news: Last Monday, we posted about a potential release date for the Windows 7 RTM, which was effectively yesterday, the 13th. That date came and went, however, and no RTM saw the light of day. Of course, it's hard to say that Microsoft missed the date, because not once did...

From our front-page news: Now here's an interesting take on snail mail. I'm not sure about you guys, but I receive a lot of junk mail (and for what it's worth, I'll point out that it's Rogers in Canada who are responsible for a lot of it), and it sucks. I hate running out to the mail box only to...

From our front-page news: With overclocking seemingly more popular than ever, maybe you've caught the bug and have begun pushing your own machine to the limits? Given the room here is too warm even in the winter, it's the last thing I'm thinking of doing right now, but I still can't help but...

From our front-page news: Fusion-io is a name that popped up last year out of nowhere, and from how things are looking, their name is going to remain in the limelight for quite some time. This is of course thanks to their ultra-fast solid-state storage solutions, such as the 160GB ioDrive that...

From our front-page news: As you could probably imagine, companies approach us often regarding review ideas for products of all stripes, from motherboards to graphics cards to chassis' to whatever else is technology-related.

Finding a decently-sized notebook for an equally decent price can be tough, and it's for that reason that HP's dv2 is so intriguing. As a 12.1" offering, you'd expect it to cost more than $600, but not so. Equipped with AMD's Athlon Neo 64 and other competent features, the dv2 is well-worth a...

From our front-page news: Although I appreciate a quality display when I see one, I'm far from being a guru on the subject, so I'm absolutely stumped regarding recent news that the MacBook Pro 13" model can't display millions of colors as promised, but rather only a few hundred thousand. In a...

From our front-page news:The future of online radio has been unclear for quite some time, thanks to the greedy music industry, but it looks as though Pandora has saved the day... not only for themselves, but for Internet radio as a whole. In a new agreement, Pandora is giving up 25% (at least)...

From our front-page news: Regular visitors to the site probably know by now that I'm a Linux user, and I've been using Gentoo as my preferred distribution for the past three years. But because Gentoo requires a fair amount of attention (even just for the install), when it comes to installing...
