At CES earlier this year, Gigabyte showed off two new motherboards that promised both a great value and of course, good overclocking abilities. The EX58-UD4P was one of those, and we've now been able to put it to the test. We're happy to report that as we had hoped, the board delivers on all...

From our front-page news: When ASUS first released the Eee PC 700 in the fall of 2007, no one could have predicted what was to come. It took no time at all before the PC took off and sold staggeringly well, and of course, we don't have to get into all the competition that resulted. While...

From our front-page news: "Those were the good ole days". How many times have you heard that? Personally, I've caught myself saying that many times in the past, but it's a feeling we can all relate to. We all have fond memories of the past, and technology tends to be part of that. If you've been...

Are you the type of person who can't help but spend money all the time? Don't worry, so am I. As odd as it may seem, one great way to save money might be to carry only $100 bills on you. It may seem counter-intuitive, but picture a scenario where an item costs $20. Do you really want to break a...

Alright, so they're not here, as in our website, but hopefully that will change in the future. For those unaware, Captchas are those boxes that show scrambled text that you must replicate in order to access a certain feature of a website, whether it be our forums' search feature or the sign-up...

I'm a bit late on relaying the information here, but according to Fudzilla, Globalfoundries will be prepared later this year to begin taking its first 32nm orders. They'll still be behind Intel by a fair margin in terms of product to market (Intel's 32nm Westmere will be commercially available...

I swore I linked to this already, but I can't find it, so I'll go ahead and post anyway. There's a fairly interesting look at how Sennheiser's latest HD 800 headphones are made at Crave UK. These cans retail for £1,000 and represent the company's keen attention to detail. I'm not totally fond of...

From our front-page news: In talking to Western Digital in the past year or two - even as recent as CES - we could tell their vibe towards solid-state storage was rather "meh". But, given the obvious potential (and reality) of the technology, we knew it would be only a matter of time before they...

From our front-page news: The Mac vs. PC debate has been going on for about as long as... well, as long as both platforms have been available. For the most part though, it's usually the users of each platform that are involved in the debate, but in recent years, it's been the companies...

While there's more competition than ever in the network music player space, Logitech's Squeezebox division continues to push out products that are both feature-rich and also excel in what they do... not to mention look good. The Boom is the latest product off the line, and as we had hoped, it...

From our front-page news: Earlier this year, Apple announced that iTunes would soon become 100% DRM-free, which was great news for many, myself included. As I mentioned around the same time, I had no prior interest in using iTunes for the DRM reason, and well, if it wasn't DRM, it would have...

From our front-page news: If there's one technology that's become huge over the past few years that I've been most pleased with, it would have to be network-attached storage. The concept is simple... have a dedicated box on the network that you can copy files to and share between computers. It's...

From our front-page news: At a press briefing earlier today, NVIDIA took the time to give us all an update on what's been happening with PhysX, and also introduced a new tool for game developers called APEX. It seems like everyone wants to release game-optimizers lately (Intel and AMD announced...

From our front-page news: It's no secret that NVIDIA is trying hard to push their CUDA technology, but while it might be the next-best-thing where computing is concerned, there hasn't been much reason for people to be excited. The past year has been quite good to the company though, with many...

EVGA's X58 SLI isn't a new offering, but it's still quite relevent. So, we're taking a fresh look at the board to see where it stands in today's competition. While its overclocking-ability may not be overly impressive, EVGA makes it apparent that they don't cut corners and deliver a board that's...

It looks as though CoolIT has secured themselves a nice sum of financing, $6.2 million. This cash will be used to help accelerate product development, of which I'm sure the company has many projects on the go (they always do). Hopefully we'll be seeing some cool stuff down the road from them...

Remember that story we posted way back in 2007 that exposed a retailer that compared Monster HDMI to the competitors HDMI (which was really Composite)? Well, it looks like that scam is still alive and kicking. This time, it's at Fry's Electronics, and it's the exact same scam. Once again, the...

From our front-page news:In the past week or two, we've been posting about Office Depot's less-than-stellar selling practices. One thing I made sure to mention, though, was that Office Depot is in no way the only company to stoop to such low levels, and it sure didn't take too long before dirt...

Well, this sucks. It looks like the Obama administration sides with the RIAA's excessive fines for downloading a track, which can range between $750 and $150,000. We know that the RIAA will charge that, too, as evidenced by the flurry of court cases, and people who've lost them (and will now be...

Woo hoo, it looks like we'll be getting another Max Payne game, and by the holiday season no less. I find that hard to believe, given we're just hearing about the title now, but who knows... it might happen. If you've never played either of the previous Max Paynes, you need to. Both were...
