    What Can You Do with 4k?

    From our front-page news: Programming isn't easy, and when it comes to designing your code to be as efficient as possible, it's even harder. Some coders don't care as much about their code as others though, and that can result in applications or games ending up with a larger file size. That...

    Why We Need Audiophiles

    From our front-page news: In the past, some people have asked me if I was an audiophile, simply because I have a good set of cans, a good audio card, and also happen to stick to lossless formats for my collection. But, I'll be the first to admit that I'm the furthest thing from being an...

    GO OC's North American Final to be Held Next Weekend

    From our front-page news: Just a few weeks ago, I posted a link to an online magazine devoted to both overclocking and of course, overclockers. In that post, I mentioned that the hobby of overclocking isn't slowing down, and in fact, it seems to be growing at a very rapid pace. Proof of this is...

    From our front-page news: It's been discussed numerous times in the past that netbooks have been one of the biggest innovations in mobile computing in the last while, and that doesn't look to change right away.

    Google Loses up to $1.65 Million Per Day on YouTube

    From our front-page news: I'd be hard-pressed to believe that not every single person who visits our site has also visited YouTube at least once in the past month. In fact, I'd believe that the vast majority have visited in the past week. YouTube has become one with the Internet, and even if you...

    Taking a Trip Through 31 Years of CPUs

    From our front-page news: I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that sometimes, it's a bit easy to take things for granted, when in reality, things are amazing. Take flying, for example. It's an incredible feat to raise someone off the ground and fly them from one location to the next, but...

    Games hog most of Apple's app store downloads

    This will probably come as no surprise to anyone, but I still find it quite impressive. Of the staggering 940+ million downloads off of Apple's app store, 800 million are games. That's insane! I find this interesting, because when the app store was first launched, friends would tell me about the...

Well, now you don't have to, since NVIDIA themselves have taken the hassle out of it all. On their site, you can actually buy an acrylic keychain with a G98 core inside. What's G98 you...

    $150 for unlimited bandwidth?!

    I'm not sure about you guys, but $150 for Internet service seems mighty ridiculous to me - especially when it's for a premium that should be free (at least, IMO). That's what Time Warner is asking for their top service though, and along with the top speeds, you'll have no cap to deal with. I'm a...

    Apple's $79 iPod shuffle Costs $21.77 to Produce

    From our front-page news: One common complaint from Apple naysayers is that the brand carries a luxury tax, and this is a point that even Microsoft is happy to point out in their most recent run of commercials. But, like other luxury items, customers believe the quality is there. The same rule...

    Nikon Announces 12.3MP D5000 D-SLR, Includes Vari-Angle LCD

    From our front-page news:When I saw a rumor about a potential D5000 D-SLR from Nikon last week, all I could do was chuckle and ignore it. I mean... D5000? As if Nikon would slap a name like that on one of their cameras. Well, joke's on me, because it's true. I won't get into the fact that seeing...

    Game Developers on Gold Selling

    From our front-page news: Aside from the obvious addictive nature, there is another real downside to any type of MMO game: gold sellers. For the uninitiated, gold sellers are companies who sell in-game currency and even accounts, for real-life cash. This is a reality that's either loved or...

    OCZ Releases Intel XMP Notebook Modules

    From our front-page news: I doubt anyone would discredit the usefulness of a notebook PC, but they do certainly have their downfalls. Performance, for one thing, never competes with the desktop, and it's for obvious reasons. One particular area that has bugged me about this is with notebook...

    Should we consider RAM content?

    When DDR and DDR2 were at their prime, we posted reviews around memory kits often. The real meat of those articles focused on overclocking, because back then, faster memory could actually be utilized to some extent. Then with the advent of DDR3, frequencies have hit unbelievable heights and...
