    The Current State of Wireless HD Signals

    From our front-page news: The progress of technology is a fantastic thing, and I don't think many will disagree to that (well, unless you happen to have a forced RFID chip implanted somewhere on your body), but to me, one of the best innovations has been wireless technology. Everything from...

    AMD Phenom II X4 810 & X3 720 Black Edition

    NVIDIA's GeForce 182.06 drivers released

    Not sure how I'll begin doing this, but I'd like to start making a post each time a new set of WHQL drivers are made available from either ATI or NVIDIA, since they can sometimes come without a warning and go unnoticed. Perhaps in the future we can add this information to our site, and then even...

    Justin Timberlake busts into a Beyoncé music video

    I'm not sure if I'm alone in this thinking or not, but Saturday Night Live lost its lustre for a little while, but the past few years have been good to the show. Just take Lazy Sunday and Dick In the Box for example. Here's another good one with Justin Timberlake though, where he storms onto...

    Sometimes, Free Videos are Better than Paid Versions

    From our front-page news: Over the course of the past month, I've kind of jumped on the digital music bandwagon, which for the most part, exclusively includes iTunes (since the Zune Marketplace is not available in Canada for whatever reason).

    Five Incredible Home Cinema Setups

    From our front-page news:In our previous posting, we talked about Thermaltake's new "luxury" offerings, but I'm willing to bet that despite its luxury tag, the products could still be purchased by anyone who has a keen desire to own one. Luxury to me, is a status that should be awarded to...

    Upcoming OCZ Vertex SSD's Boast Excellent Write Speeds

    From our front-page news:As I've mentioned in previous SSD-related news posts, as the months pass, drives become larger and much faster, and that still holds as true right now as it did a year ago. Heck, even the past few months. Recall when Intel released their ultra-fast 80GB X25-M. At $600...

    Charging five USB devices with one plug

    I know things like this have existed before, but this new model seems quite interesting.

    iMagic OS: Commercial Linux Distro Gone Wrong

    From our front-page news:The term "commercial Linux distribution" might sound a little odd at first, given that Linux is well-known for being a completely free operating system, but I do feel that in some cases, a commercial offering can be a good thing. In fact, it was a commercial distribution...

    SSDs Suffer Performance Degradation Over Time

    From our front-page news: We've talked a lot about SSDs in our news section before, and for good reason. They're small, fast and desirable in almost every way. But, like most things that are "too good to be true", there are a few caveats - namely price and fragmentation. Our friends at PC...

    Top 10 First-Person Shooter Cliches

    From our front-page news:Where the word "cliche" is concerned, the definition might as well include discussion of first-person shooter titles. It's one of those words that I don't hear of too often, but when I do, most often the person will be talking about an FPS game. What is it about that...
