From our front-page news: Last week, I linked to a story that discussed how the Xbox 360 could have been launched to avoid the flurry of Red Ring of Death issues, but wasn't. Problems detected early on were not taken care of, despite employee's who brought the issues up to the management...

From our front-page news: Back in May, I had a minor rant about piracy, and the fact that the worst victims of it are the real consumers. It's us who pay for the game that have to put up with ridiculous protections, not the pirates. The pirates instead download a game, apply a crack, and be done...

Notebooks are more popular than ever, and the vast selection is incredible. There's a notebook for everyone, and in the case of Gateway's T-6836, if you are looking for something in between a netbook and a $1,000 model - you are covered. It carries certain downsides, but still packs enough...

From our front-page news: Microsoft might not have had the most successful product launch with Windows Vista, and for the most part, they really haven't admitted to their mistakes in a straight-forward manner. Maximum PC decided to tackle the facts... what caused Vista to become a 'failure' at...

From our front-page news: I doubt it's a secret to a single person reading this that small notebooks are in, and large notebooks are for the workstation crowd, or those who don't have a desktop. The sheer ease of netbooks or light notebooks make them an ideal choice for those on the go often...

From our front-page news: So, you want to know how to survive a fall into a black hole? Well, you're in for a sad reality, because unless you are somehow able to go faster than the speed of light, it's impossible to escape. Impossible as in impossible, not impossible as in "It's impossible to...

From our front-page news: With the recent launch of iTunes 8, a lot of pet peeves people had were taken care of, but C|Net looks at how a few things could be further improved in the next version. One cool new feature in 8 is the Genius List, an over-glorified 'shuffle' so-to-speak, which is a...

From our front-page news:I have to admit... whenever I think about cameras, Sony is one of the last companies to come to mind. It might not be for good reason, though. The first time I ever laid my hands on one of their D-SLRs to take it for a spin, it felt cheap, and really didn't impress me in...

From our front-page news: In case you missed it at the top of the page or in your RSS feeds, we've just posted the first part to a three-part series of articles we are very excited about. It tackles something I'm personally semi-obsessive over... audio archiving! Matt Serrano will be tackling...

From our front-page news: By now, I'm sure most everyone is aware that AMD's latest graphic card launches are stellar... something NVIDIA really wasn't expecting. Up to now though, all cards launched have been higher-end and pricey (although that's change a -lot- since launch with the HD 4850)...

From our front-page news: Ask any mobile warrior for their biggest complaint about computing on the go, and the answer will be, without fail, "battery-life". The issue becomes worse as your craving for power increases, and some of today's popular notebooks (15.4" and upwards) suffer with less...

From our front-page news: I'm one of the furthest things from being a 'chassis guy', but once in a while a news item will hit my inbox that actually makes me stop to look. When I saw the words "400mm side panel fan"... you bet I had to investigate. Such a chassis comes from a company called...

The problem with most audio collections out there is that the majority of the population are just not that fussy, so they take the only route they know. But what if you do care about the quality of your music? Don't you want to make sure you are archiving your collection in such a way that you...

Alright, I don't often find Cracked.com articles funny (this might be the first), but this article is well-worth a read: In Canada yesterday, Oasis star Noel Gallagher was attacked by a fan who leapt up on stage and pushed him over. The show came to a halt for 15 minutes or so while the two...

I found some free time to kill last night, so I downloaded a new demo on the Playstation store for the game 'PURE'. It looked quite similar to Motorstorm, but with the focus on tricks more than just racing. All racing is also done on ATV's, unlike Motorstorm which uses a variety of vehicles. I...

From our front-page news: Sure, Apple's about to launch a few new iPod's, but what Microsoft wants you to know is that they've launched their third-generation Zune, which sports a brand-new design and form-factor. Alright, I'm lying. They look exactly like the old Zune's... so what's the point...

From our front-page news: I'll admit that I am not a huge movie buff, nor do I care about movies based off of games, but I'm willing to make an exception for this one. According to Kotaku, a Duke Nukem movie is in the works, but we are in the very early stages now, so don't expect it to hit the...

From our front-page news: Who ever thought something like this would happen? It appears that Real, creators of one of the most hated pieces of media player our computers have ever seen, has an upcoming product called Real DVD, which actually rips your movie DVDs to your computers hard drive for...

From our front-page news: If Microsoft were to go out of business right now for whatever reason, they would undoubtedly be remembered for a thousand different things until the end of time. Given that it's human nature to automatically find the worst in everything, Windows Vista and the Xbox...
