Linux is well known for being very customizable, but with SUSE Studio, things are taken to an entirely new level. Imagine taking a base template, building on top of it with your personal software choices, then configuring countless other aspects (even a SQL database), then building it as a...

Sure, Superman 64 is horrible, but the Angry Video Game Nerd takes a look at a 3DO game that easily takes the cake as being one of the worst games ever. You just have to watch to see what I mean: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/angry-video-screwattack/52921 Language warning... he drops the...

From our front-page news: The moment so many of you have been waiting for is here: Windows 7 has finally hit RTM. That means that the code is done, and absolutely no changes will be made prior to final release. Any bugs found from hereon out will most likely be of a minor variety, and will have...

From our front-page news: It seems to me that nowadays, the number of people using desktop e-mail clients is beginning to diminish. With services like Gmail offering support for external addresses, there are many reasons that people may choose to forego installing an extra application on their...

A friend of mine has been having problems with her older version of Nero for a while, and she's looking to replace it for a more reliable application. Ideally, something free would be great, but I'm not quite sure what's out there as I never deal with these scenarios myself. She's looking for a...

We've taken a look at an almost countless number of computer cases over the years, but the X-Fighter is unlike many of them in various ways. The most noticeable feature is its design, which is very sci-fi inspired. Past that, there's been a lot of thought gone into the chassis' cooling-ability...

From our front-page news: People love to hate a lot of things, and in the browser world, it's Internet Explorer 6. The hatred isn't unfounded though, and even non-techy Internet surfers understand just how much it's lacking. I found this out in a big way late last week when my brother, who in no...

From our front-page news:If I had to work anywhere in China, the last place I'd consider a job at would be Foxconn. Over the years, there have been a few stories of what the demands on their employees are like, and it really came to the forefront three years ago when the company was accused of...

From our front-page news:During our meeting with EVGA at last month's Computex, one product on display that really caught my eye was a GTX 285. Of course, since that particular model had been available for three months at that point, it wasn't the card itself that was impressive, but rather the...

When I saw the headline, "Cemetery whistle-blower: 'I ain't a hero'", I wasn't about to ignore it. As it turns out, the story isn't quite as interesting as I expected it could have been, but it's certainly a bit sick. It appears that some employees of a cemetery in Chicago were planning to dig...

From our front-page news:When Intel first launched their X-25M SSD, no one knew what to expect. After all, although Intel is no newbie in the semi-conducter business, storage wasn't exactly their forte. All doubts were quickly put to rest though, as the X-25M (and then the SLC-based X-25E) blew...

From our front-page news: I admit... whenever I post Apple news, I feel like an anti-Apple zealot even though I'm not. It might be the rapid fans of Apple that make me feel that way, or not, but either way, a story posted at CNET last week is just far too humorous to not talk about, and yes, it...

From our front-page news: If you leave your house on a regular basis, or watch TV, chances are good that you know what "5-hour Energy" is. It's like a typical energy drink, but not. In this little bottle are numerous vitamins, amino acids and various other good stuff to help keep you alert and...

From our front-page news: From the "Don't they have anything better to do?" files comes news out of Australia of law enforcement taking unique action against unsecured wireless networks. How so? By wardriving, of course, to find the culprits, and then set them straight. I have to admit, it's...

From our front-page news: Solar and lunar eclipses aren't too rare, but when one does occur, and you happen to live in the right location, then it's a real treat. For the uninitiated, where solar eclipses are concerned, there are four possible outcomes, but three of those four appear almost just...

When Gateway launched their UC series less than three months ago, the UC7807u retailed for $799. Today, the exact same model and configuration sits at $599. We'll tackle the reasons as to why inside, but let's just say, for $599, the UC7807u is one heck of a notebook, thanks to both being...

From our front-page news: Not too often do the results of a report pique my interest, but one recently held by two firms in the UK does, and it likely will for music-lovers of all stripes as well. Despite how it seems right now, it looks as though the majority of music purchasers equipped with...

From our front-page news:It's hard to say that the SSD game is heating up, because in reality, it's been hot for a while. A day doesn't go by when a company doesn't release a new model - even companies we've up to this point have never heard of - but it's all good, because as these new products...
