From our front-page news:Last month, I posted about my newfound love for virtualization, which came as a result of me actually taking the time to experiment and see all of what was possible from a home-user's perspective. Given I run Linux as my primary OS, the draw has been there for a while...

From our front-page news: Last November, Intel launched their long-awaited Core i7 processors. These were well-received, and rightfully so. These new CPUs came out on top on most performance charts, some by a rather significant margin (remember the differences with ray-tracing tests?). But, one...

From our front-page news:I'm not sure how I missed this, but last Wednesday, Microsoft finally released the next major version of Internet Explorer, 8.0. Made first as a beta last spring, Internet Explorer 8 touts most of what you'd expect to hear from a new browser release... better...

Haha! It looks like the FTC is stepping into how advertisers push their product in a rather significant way. I'll just let the article speak for itself: Ahh, I hope this goes according to plan. To also quote the first commenter: Agreed. Especially when it's your money at stake...

Whew, it's ABOUT TIME. The next version of Office is going to be included in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, and we can assume both will be on the same dual-layer DVD since both should be able to fit. Will performance be affected? Probably in massive workloads, but not so much for regular use...

If you've been paying attention to Nine Inch Nails lately, then you might be aware of their upcoming tour which is supposed to be unlike any other they've done in the past. They'll be headlining the show with long-time friends Jane's Addiction, and also Street Sweeper. It goes without saying, if...

Whew, I sure wasn't expecting this! When we first learned of ASUS' foldable laptop at CES this past January, we were told that a release date was unknown, and it felt like we were dealing with a 1 - 2 year timespan, but no. According to ASUS CEO Jerry Shen, the notebook will be available in...

Have a huge chassis? Need a huge CPU cooler? Well, Cooler Master has just what you need, in the form of the TEC-based V10. This thing is massive - its almost three CPU coolers in one - but it cools better than any other air cooler we've used in the past, and it even matches our previous (and...

Ahh, nothing beats a good LAN party. Sitting back, chilling with friends, drinking a lot of Bawls and of course, getting hundreds of frags in... there's nothing quite like it. We made the trip to Evansville, Indiana recently to game it up at AsylumLAN's 33rd event. This is not the first AL we've...

From our front-page news: The last time you decided to purchase a new gaming mouse, statistics show that it was probably produced by Logitech. If you are more of a hardcore gamer, then maybe you strayed a little off the beaten path and chose one of Razer's or SteelSeries excellent offerings. The...

From our front-page news: Things might be a little (hah!) heated between AMD and Intel, but NVIDIA hasn't been able to stay out of the news for all the wrong reasons either. It's been no secret that NVIDIA has had troubles with mobile graphics chips, and the fix for those seem to be coming to an...

From our front-page news: Things are beginning to get a little ugly between AMD and Intel, but the state of the situation varies depending on who you ask. When AMD first announced plans to open up a new fab with the help of outside companies, Intel had something to say about it immediately...

From our front-page news: When it comes to broadband in North America, it's easy to become envious of other parts of the world, where 10Mbit/s connections are laughed at. ISPs in Japan, for example, offer a 150Mbit/s service for only $60. In the US, it would cost you between $90 - $150 for a...

From our front-page news:If there's no shortage of one thing, it would be solid-state news. Just earlier this week, we linked to a story that showed crafty Samsung employees playing around with 24 SSD drives in RAID, and the end result was without question, impressive. The problem with a setup...

From our front-page news: Apple can't seem to catch much of a break lately. First, Steve Jobs is forced to go on a mini-hiatus due to health, then a renegade app store gets released, then the company releases an iPod shuffle that's getting more flack than praise, and now fake iTunes cards are...

From our front-page news: If you've been paying attention to the state of the graphics market at all, you are probably well aware that NVIDIA is the biggest and most out-going company when it comes to general purpose computing on the GPU (GPGPU). They've been taking it seriously since before...

From our front-page news:Alright, so I'm sure that a very few number of our readers run to Office Depot anytime they need a new notebook, but chances are good that we all know someone who does. After all, their prices seem so tempting in the flyers, but those prices are sure to change once the...

From our front-page news:Apple today announced a brand-new iPod shuffle model that they claim is the world's smallest, and unless anyone else disagrees, I think it might be true. The new form-factor is half of the size of the previous shuffle, and at 1.8" tall and 0.3" thin, it's smaller than a...

From our front-page news: We all know that SSDs are fast, that much is no secret, but just how fast are 24 strapped together in a RAID configuration? Well, freaking fast, of course. Some Samsung employees decided to find out first-hand what benefits such a configuration would entail, so they...

From our front-page news:ASUS announced yesterday that their all-in-one "Eee Top" PCs are now available, and you can order one from a multitude of e-tailers for $600. I'm not quite sure what to think of the Eee Top yet, but we have one here and I'll be posting an article for it within the next...
