From our front-page news: As was expected, Apple today unveiled their brand-new MacBook's, which include the MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, and I have to say, even as a non-Mac guy, they look quite sharp. There is no $799 model available that some were hoping to see, but the original...

It seems like we've been covering Nehalem forever (which we kind of have been), but it's finally right around the corner, with a 'leaked' launch of the week of November 16. My question to you guys is... who's excited enough about the new processor to upgrade almost immediately? The next six...

From our front-page news: When talking smack about Windows Vista, one of the most common aspects to pick on is the User Control Panel, or UAC for short. Even I've whined about it. Mostly, I think it's for good reason, and I think few could argue that. Microsoft themselves have even stated they...

From our front-page news: When NVIDIA launched their GTX 200 series in June, I don't think anyone had an idea of how fast they would be overshadowed, but leave it to AMD... it was done. Since then, NVIDIA hasn't had a truly competitive high-end part, but it appears they're working towards...

From our front-page news: When Microsoft launched the Xbox 360 in late 2005, it was one heck of a product. Everything from the design, the software, the games, the high-def-ness... was fantastic.
