    NewEgg Preparing to Launch Canadian Counterpart

    From our front-page news: Living in Canada can avail unique experiences for a tech-head. It's hard to read forums and not see some reference to NewEgg, which of course has never offered shipping to Canucks. With a recent move, they even stopped accepting Canadian credit cards for products that...

    X-Play Ultimate Gaming PC

    Depends on what you expect from your PC and how much you are willing to spend, really. Is gaming your primary focus? What's your budget?

    NeroLinux 3

    I agree, it's not fun having to use a variety of applications to handle everything. Right now, I am not aware of anything that exists that truly handles everything. You may want to try dvd:rip, though. It can rip DVD's to VOB, AVI and a few other formats. It doesn't allow you to burn after the...

    Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini 320GB

    Rory has posted an in-depth look at Maxtor's latest external enclosure, the 320GB OneTouch 4 Mini: Maxtor's diminutive OneTouch 4 Mini pushes the capacity envelope again, packing a positively huge 320 gigabytes of storage into a tiny enclosure. It's also one of the sexiest mini external drives...

    NeroLinux 3

    No, I cannot see where that is possible. You can't do vice-versa, either. I tried the other night to convert a DVD-Video to MP4, like you can in Windows, but no cigar.

    Turtle Beach X3 Xbox 360 Headset

    Let's face it... the headset included with the Xbox 360 leaves a lot to be desired, which is why third-party companies come along and release their own products that aim to blow it away. We are taking a look at one such headset today, in the form of the Turtle Beach X3, and answer the question...

    Can Ubuntu Catch OS X in Two Years?

    That depends on the packaging system. Most will put a new entry in the menu, just like any application would with Windows. I do admit that when something is not put there, it's easily found with the command-line, and yes, I think that's a good way to do things. People shrug off the command-line...

    Building a new computer would like some advice

    That Gateway laptop should suit you fine. I have wanted to get one in to test for months, and will in the near-future I hope. Personally, I'd consider it... it's a great price and offers a lot. The guys who were running Crysis were likely trying to run native resolution of the display. If you...

    Project: Deuce

    Wow, a lot of progress since I last checked here. Things are looking great as always T-D... and when you say on fire, you mean in two ways. The GPU shrouds look absolutely fantastic, especially in the dark. Not to mention that fact that they look like BEASTS on the motherboard. It's like...

    WOO HOOO! One of my favorite movies of all time... finally has a sequal!!!

    Oh wow, this is rather big news. Tron was one of the best movies ever made, for too many reasons to even recollect. The video quality there is ridiculous, but the trailer itself looks amazing.

    ASUS M70Sa 17" Multimedia Notebook

    Does the idea of having Blu-ray capabilities on the go excite you? How about the idea of having 1,000GB worth of storage at the tip of your fingers? Or having a 1920x1200 resolution to keep the best possible work-flow? The ASUS M70Sa has those and a lot more, in a beefy 17" package. You can...

    Can Ubuntu Catch OS X in Two Years?

    The problem is that every distro generally handles installation differently. I do think it's a fantastic idea to have a vast selection of distros, because chances are one can be found that really clicks with your likes, but things do need to change. I think we need a universal installer...

    Intel Introduces EP80579 SoC Designs

    From our front-page news: No official press release has yet been posted, but our friends at HotHardware have the scoop on a brand-new Intel integrated processor family, called EP80579. This launch isn't so much for just the processors, however, but rather entire system-on-a-chips, meaning that...

    Is a Digg Purchase Around the Corner?

    From our front-page news: The popular social-networking site, Digg, has been around for a while... close to four years. Many sites of such stature don't normally last a single year before being snatched up, and for big money. Look at MySpace, for example. Paying attention to either TechCrunch or...

    Can Ubuntu Catch OS X in Two Years?

    From our front-page news: As far as current operating systems are concerned, Microsoft's Windows is undoubtedly the world-leader when it comes to installations on home desktops. In second place is Apple's OS X, and in a relatively close third, all Linux distributions. Thanks to Mark...

    G R I D racing

    You really like this one, haha. That super-fast car is amazing-looking. The Mustang through San Fran is also a sweet video. Do they have any BMW's in there?

    Rogers Intercepts Personal Searches to Own Service

    From our front-page news: "Ugh" is about all I can say lately whenever thinking of Rogers, a company that loves pushing their customers' buttons, because it's fun, and profitable. After all, there's a blatant lack of competition up here, so they could easily pull off any stunt they want. Who's...

    dBpoweramp's Batch Converter Quick to Convert Big Music Collections

    Ahh, so that's how it works. Might not be perfect, but I'd have it do the same thing. As for the release date, it's not.. which is why I found it odd. It came out on 07/15, not 08/20 like it said. But regardless, that's not so important. I appreciate the idea though... I'm glad I actually...
