Oh, I've been back since last Thurs. Just took me a while to get back in the groove to write this, haha. Yes, the $ difference over there is quite stark in some cases. It's just too bad the flight is $1,500+! The women over there make it well-worth it though ;-)

Ahh, sweet addition! You've been around the industry for a while, then. You gotta love how foolish these companies can be. To actually design a propriatary diskette just so people are locked into your product... dumb. I do gotta admit though... 2.8MB for a disk is amazing for the time-period...

Hi Madelyn: I've contact OCZ about this, but I'm not sure I'll be able to get a response for such a specific question. Hopefully someone around here has the same keyboard and can comment.

Our Computex 2009 coverage is long done with, but this article isn't about what we saw on the show floor or learned during a meeting. Rather, this article takes a look at things from a different angle: the experience. We'll talk both about what life is like during these trips, and in this...

From our front-page news: Throughout the history of video gaming, we've always been able to expect a new console "in a few years", and that rule of thumb has kept rather consistent. Since the turn of the century though, things have changed dramatically in the game console landscape, some for...

From our front-page news: At last week's WWDC, Apple had much to show off, including OS X Snow Leopard, Safari 4, iPhone 3G S and of course, the revised MacBook Pro line-up, which introduced for the first time, a 13-inch model. One of the biggest things taken away from the conference was the...

One would have to assume this was due to the fact that their graphics chip is lackluster ;-) I have an mATX board here for review (ASUS Rampage II GENE), so perhaps that article will prove that this is the case. I'd like to review more mATX boards I think, which might mean I need to get a...

The MARS dual-GTX 285 card that ASUS was showing off at Computex is produced in a limited quantity (1,000), so we already knew that the price was going to be high. But now that it's available for "pre-order" at SCAN, we can see it's actually going to be sold for a lot more than anyone probably...

I find it hard to post something useful here, just because this story annoys me to no end. I just can't get over that the EU would even suggest that Microsoft include competitor products in their retail offering... the logic there makes no sense. Support issues and all that junk aside simply...

From our front-page news:In the fall of 2007, Intel helped kick off the 45nm life-cycle with the help of their Core 2 Extreme QX9650, and since then, 45nm has become pretty much the standard (with AMD releasing their first 45nm processors late last year). The next step is 32nm, and it looks as...

From our front-page news: Ahh, the Commodore 64, one of the more recognized PC classics in the world. This machine was released in 1982, and remarkably, only became discontinued in 1994. Though it's unbelievably slow by today's standards (1MHz processor!) and severely lacks memory (64KB!), it...

That was a while ago, but equally ridiculous. Installing Windows without a media player is fine... just hop online to download one. Installing Windows without something that everyone needs is a completely different story. Welcome to the forums :-)

From our front-page news: It looks like Apple's iTunes service is soon to get some real competition, and all I can say is, "It's about time". But here's the unique twist... the service soon to launch isn't by some non-music-related company, but rather Virgin Media and Universal Music, the latter...

Well that's one I just downloaded (Steam), so I'll be testing it out. That is likely to be the game we'll use for CPU reviews... I don't think it has the graphical requirements to become a proper stature for our GPU test suites. I'll test regardless though.

I'm still going to take a look at that whopping response soon, Kougar. Just finding the time to get caught up with all the things I need to :-S

Good to know that it has a real use, thanks guys. I wish I had a thermal imaging machine... it'd be fun to test the heat dispersion on a 2oz copper board and a 1oz copper board, because common sense tells you that it <em>would</em> make a difference.

When I made that comment, I was thinking more along the lines of the Mini-ITX and smaller form-factor. I do agree that for most people, mATX would suit their needs just fine. The biggest limiting factor to me are the GPUs. The next-gen from NVIDIA are looking to top-out at 300W... and that's...

As a non-Folder, I really can't voice a real opinion, but I refuse to stress the CPU when it's so inefficient for this purpose. After I've seen just how much more crunching GPUs can do, the CPU seems entirely useless to me. Not worth increasing the heat in my room, nor the power bill, that's for...

Mozilla and Google did indeed follow suit, but that, to me, is more of a proactive move to make sure you're not left behind. Would you stand by idly if you knew there was a chance that your competitor's browser might be included in the next version of Windows and not yours? If I were the head of...

From our front-page news:Throughout the long history of computing, many, many foolish mistakes have been made. When you first caught wind of one, the only appropriate response could have been, "What were they thinking?!", and a new article at the Technologizer takes a look at fifteen classic...
