    Zune Survives 2008, Might See 2010

    I haven't heard back from Zune yet, but I did hear back from Amazon.ca, about their MP3 store. Sadly, there is absolutely no update there, which sucks. The store was supposed to become available at some point last year, so I'm really not sure when we'll be seeing that one.

    Despite iTunes Dominance, Record Companies Not Too Pleased

    From our front-page news: It's no doubt clear to almost everyone just what kind of power Apple has over the music industry, but thinking about it, it does seem a little odd for a company that a) isn't a record company and b) didn't have anything to do with music before 2000. Yet, thanks to their...

    Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection Offers 40+ Games

    From our front-page news: I don't post that much console-related news here too often, but this one particular title caught my eye the other day while browsing Amazon, so I felt compelled to talk about it. If you grew up in the early 90's and loved video games, chances are good that you've played...

We've been down this debate road time and time again, so there isn't...

    Zune Survives 2008, Might See 2010

    Hi Arend: You might want to check out a rant I posted yesterday: http://techgage.com/news/if_itunes_is_available_in_canada_zune_marketplace_should_be_too/ The fact that it isn't available in Canada bugs me, but I'm hoping we'll see a solution soon. I'm going to contact Microsoft and see if...

    World's most valuable sports teams?

    It helps that both teams tend to be extremely good and well-marketed to nations other than Europe. Both teams also spend a lot of money on players, which is good I guess. Man U just picked up Berbatov, and that has to be one of the best purchases of the year... superb player. Arsenal on the...

    If iTunes is Available in Canada, Zune Marketplace Should Be Too

    From our front-page news: Last week, I posted about my first experience with purchasing music on iTunes, while also calling out the need for an audiophile digital music store (but I'll keep dreaming). In the post, I admitted that while I never used iTunes in the past, DRM was finally given the...

    From our front-page news: Despite the fact that Intel hasn't yet announced their Atom N280, ASUS sent out a press release today touting that their Eee PC 1000HE is the first to come equipped with the new processor. Thanks to a general lack of choice, most netbooks on the market right now use the...

    Putting Four Intel X25-E Together in RAID 0

    Hard to believe that 64MB of Cache would be the bottleneck, although anythings possible. I'm not an engineer. It's even more humorous since 32MB of Cache has only recently become the standard on mechanical drives, hah.

    Digital Transition Could be Pushed Back Until June 12

    But still... why would you want to deal with one channel disappearing after another? People might as well just get it over with now, instead of being lazy and putting it off indefinitely.

    World's most valuable sports teams?

    Ahh, a United fan... I see. Well, I'll allow that, I guess ;) Arsenal has been having a rough year, indeed. It's been kind of depressing, to be honest. There were many games when we should have won, and didn't, and even the games that were won, were stressful up to the end. Take the v. Everton...

    World's most valuable sports teams?

    Windows 7 to Follow Vista's Edition Scheme

    From our front-page news: Oi, not this mess again. Prior to Vista's launch, one of the biggest complaints with the OS was the number of different versions available. It was such a big complaint, in fact, that we felt compelled enough to write an article about it. Prior to Vista, things were kept...

    Digital Transition Could be Pushed Back Until June 12

    Rabbit ears don't have much to do with anything, and if someone is actually still using those, then they really need to thank the powers that be for the forced upgrade. I think those 6.5 million people are still just using standard cable... nothing special. Just the cable running from the wall...

    Voltage Overclocking the GPU (GT200 & some 4000 cards)

    Ahh man, you really know how to stress that machine, haha. I guess the sheer amount of hard drives definitely helps, but still. Imagine if you had two GTX 295's in there... you'd likely actually hit 1,000W... that's insane. I don't think I killed the Kill-A-Watt... it just died. It happened...
