From our front-page news: As soon as I saw this new tip at the How-To Geek, I knew I had to come post about it. This is a particular issue that I've been annoyed by for as long as I remember using Windows. The issue is simple. You have a huge folder with many files, and you want to copy a...

From our front-page news: Who needs a television when all the drama can be found online? That's what the Microsoft/Yahoo! debacle has been since it began, and it's sure not losing its lustre quite yet. Over the weekend, Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft, withdrew the bid to acquire Yahoo!, and I...

From our front-page news:Is it just me, or are game companies actually getting more clueless as the days pass? It has to be the case, because I am seeing it with my own eyes. Remember the massive uproar when BioShock shipped with SecuROM? Or how about when the company announced that the sequel...

From our front-page news: Ever wonder why the Xbox 360 replacement hard drives costs so much? There's no doubt you have if you've ever picked one up, since the 20GB model retails for around $90, while the 120GB is twice that. Well, would you believe that it's because they cost that much to make...

From our front-page news:Last Wednesday, Microsoft pulled both SP1 for Vista and SP3 for XP due to a conflict that arose between one of their own products (how that wasn't caught in testing is anyone's guess). For those who were on the verge of freaking out, calm down, as they've thrown both...

“I liked the idea of simplifying things and ... the honour system made a whole lot of sense,” [owner John] Bergen says. “What irritated me about going into Tim Hortons, for example, was waiting in line for something as simple as getting a donut and a coffee. So the thought was, someone can pour...

When I took a step into the 5th Avenue Apple Store last fall in New York, I was rather impressed. It was large, clean and unique. How many buildings do you walk in that are made of glass? Boston's new Apple Store looks to trump that one, however. While most stores have just under 200 customers...

From our front-page news:Is anyone at this point surprised that Intel's processors are found in the majority of notebooks on the market? Doubtful. Where the ultraportable is concerned, as the Nanotech blog points out, Intel has a huge monopoly. Of course, what else would you expect? Intel is...

From our front-page news:If there is one rumor that just will not die, it's 'Blu-ray on Xbox 360'. Rumors somehow keep on starting, and Microsoft is always quick to debunk each and every one of them. I don't think there is any doubt that Microsoft is indeed in talks with Blu-ray drive...

From our front-page news:DDR3 hasn't been out too long - less than a year - but it's progressed quite a bit since then. Whereas "good" 2GB kits would set you back over $500 just last summer, far superior kits can now set you back only $250, or less. Though much better, it's still difficult for...

From our front-page news: It's a common misconception that id Software's 'Doom' was the first popular 3D-shooter for the PC, but it was actually Wolfenstein 3D, a Nazi-infested game that was released a full 18 months earlier. If you grew up with a PC and happened to be a gamer, then chances are...

From our front-page news: While at CES this year, eVGA surprised me when they pointed to a small square box sitting on a table. What could eVGA have to do with such a small and simple-looking product, I thought. Well, upon further inspection, it turned out to be a gadget for adding displays to...

From our front-page news: Less than two months ago, memory manufacturer Super Talent released one of the largest solid-state disks we've seen to date, and at 256GB, it was undoubtedly impressive. But at $6,000, it became more exclusive than a Rolex. The fact is, SSDs started out expensive and...

Ok, so I kind of thought the Pur Sang edition was less-than-appealing, but I feel the opposite about the Sang Noir, which translates to "black blood". This car was wicked styling to begin with, but pure black with an orange interior is damn gorgeous...

I will tell you that all these video gamers… they’re bloggers, as well as video gamers - they’re writing all kinds of stuff about me [that] I’m the enemy now of video gamers. I could care less about video games. Video game bloggers? They’re losers... -Glenn Beck...

From our front-page news: It's been two months since the launch of NIN's last album, Ghosts I-IV, but the band has wasted no time with a follow-up, entitled 'The Slip'. While Ghosts was an instrumental album, The Slip goes back to their roots and deliver hard-hitting tracks that fans are used...

From our front-page news: New York state loves taxes, who knew? Last week, the state put forth a requirement that e-tailers in other parts of the country would have to begin taxing NY-based consumers appropriately. Currently, Amazon does not tax consumers on any of the merchandise, as far as I...

From our front-page news: The latest Ubuntu release came out just two weeks ago, but that's old news by now. I have never been much of an Ubuntu fan, and the fact is, I disliked it... a lot. I still stand by the fact that I believe the distro was severely over hyped with the earlier versions...

Thermaltake passed along word that their Armor+ MX is now out, and it looks like a beaut. Simply put, it's like a smaller Armor+. It's a full tower shrunk to a mid-tower size, which might be right up the alley for some. I admit I didn't quite care for the Armor+ when I used it to build our...

From our front-page news: It's unlikely that many would disagree that parallel computing is in the future, and if you ask NVIDIA's David Kirk, it's best done on a GPU. Bit-Tech's Tim Smalley sat down with Kirk, NVIDIA's Chief Scientist, for a lengthy chat discussing everything from parallel...
