That much is obvious... and it really doesn't matter. These guys know it's obvious, but as long as it's more money in the bank for them, that's all that matters. Kind of like politicians, as you mention. As for the Last.fm thing, I forget where I first read that, but I did figure it was just a...

NZXT has impressed us time and time again with their unique chassis designs and attention to detail, so when we saw that they were offering a $100 full-tower with a fully customizable cooling system, we had to check it out. With a clean design and lots of available space, did NZXT create a a...

Hmm, I'm not even sure what that's supposed to accomplish, but nice find. If it fixes the issue, then great!

That cooler is unique to the ASUS product, and for the most part, it's still a fantastic card. Like Doomsday mentioned, the monitor size is important. If you are running 1680x1050 or lower, that card is going to keep you happy for a while. If you are running 1920x1200, you might want to consider...

Kudos to Ars for taking "stable" overclocks so seriously. Glad to see we aren't the only ones. Good read overall though, especially from a site that's not known to post hardware articles. It's a sad truth though, and I don't think it was entirely unexpected. AMD's goal is to keep prices...

Intel is just being careful where this is concerned. They can't come out and claim that there is an issue unless they understand it perfectly. It no doubt exists, but they are right in that it happens with specific workloads. You're also right in that enthusiasts will be running these workloads...

Good quote. I have to wonder if these guys are even music fans themselves, because they really don't seem to have a sweet clue about anything. It's all business to them. If they were in most people's position, and their favorite band's album was leaked two weeks early, they are sure as hell...

It's not just Boxee either, but also TV.com. This move is ridiculous to me, and goes to stress just how useless these media execs are. The fact is, Boxee retained the advertisements for the streamed videos, so the ad exposure was still there. What in the heck is the problem then? Instead of...

From our front-page news: A post made yesterday evening to Hulu's official site blog states that, under pressure from their content providers, they will no longer be allowing streams of their content via the Boxee client. The blog post fails to identify exactly which content providers made the...

From our front-page news: As much as the music industry would love to see an end to music piracy and album leaks, I think we can confidently say that it's never going to happen, at least not until extreme measures are taken (which I doubt is going to ever happen). Take the last week's worth of...

To be honest, your guess is about as good as mine. We chose those names via a contest when the site first started, and I'm not even sure if I knew what the meaning was :-/

From our front-page news: Last Monday, we linked to an article posted by PC Perspective that took a look at the loss of performance on SSDs over time, with the target of focus being Intel's X25-M. The article went on to explain that during certain usage scenarios, the sub-block level can become...

I've posted a follow-up to this, so rather than starting a new thread, I'll just include it here.If you're a regular reader of our news, you're probably well-aware that I like to rant about different things from time to time. It could be anything... DRM, failed game sequels, digital music, DTV...

It's been quite a while since we have last taken a look at an ASUS monitor, much less one that we've been ultimately impressed by, so when we received their latest model, the VW266H, we couldn't wait to tear it out of the box to see if things have improved with their line-up. Read on as we find...

Hi Roger: As I mentioned above, I based all of my assumptions off their website, and after exhausting what information I found there, I figured I wasn't going to gain anything by contacting them. The fact is, the website is completely lacking of information, which really can't be ignored. If...

Hi Moshpit: Thanks for the comments! As I've mentioned in the past, CPUs are not the decider of all things when it comes to gaming. As long as you have a nice Dual-Core chip, you're not going to be held back (unless of course, you want to do heavy multi-tasking, which is where a Quad-Core...

Whoops... bang bang! Thanks for letting me know... not sure how that snuck past me.

Oh, I realize that functionality is there, but I still had no idea that a browser was available. I've played Steam-based games little, and the most I remember in recent memory has been two levels in Left 4 Dead, where I didn't need to use Shift+Tab. If you are not a huge gamer, these things are...

I did work on this thing... for near two weeks while on a business trip. The shift key is less-than-ideal, but what do you expect on a >13-inch notebook?

Hi magicFreak: Thanks for taking the time to sign up, and for your comments. Before I give any response, however, I need to mention that I'm completely aware that you are the CEO of iMagic OS, and not a regular customer as you're claiming to be. If you want to call me out or call me names, so...
