    Intel Introduces Ultra-Small SSD

    From our front-page news: It wasn't even a year ago when Intel joined the SSD fray, but so far their appearance has been impressive. They have now announced their Z-P140 "ultra-small" SSD chip which will be available in 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB models and have promises of read speeds of 40MB/s and...

    Top 8 Vista Annoyances

    I prefer punishments over helping people improve, so I recently sent b1lk1 a copy of Windows Vista. As we know, that's the direct equivalent of being thrown into a maximum security prison for a minor charge. In the end, the pain he will feel will more than make up for his remarks towards you...

    TG Gift Guide 07 - Video Cards & Displays

    I keep hearing great things about that display. If it's anything like the 2232GW, it's definitely a winner.

    Top 8 Vista Annoyances

    To each their own... that's all that can be said. We each like our preferred computers for personal reasons. No one is going to change anyones mind here. That said. Linux rocks.

    Auzentech X-Fi Prelude

    "Remember this is nothing more then typed words." I understand that completely. However, if someone is to come into our forum and accuse us of being paid off my some company (something that will never happen), I take offense. In that instance, I took the gloves off and threw an insult right...

    Altec Lansing FX4021

    If price isn't really an issue, maybe you could considering bumping up to an even better set of speakers. I can't really speak since I'm no audiophile, but at that price range, there might be far superior speakers for not that much more money.

    Nero 8 Ultra Edition

    I have not even heard of Ashampoo I don't think. I am not sure what could replace Nero for me. I even use it in Linux (though it's severely scaled back from the Windows version).

    Top 8 Vista Annoyances

    I use Nero BackItUp for all system backing up... and yes the one in Vista is horrid. I don't think I've ever used it without spawning some sort of error. Not to mention that the application takes about one minute to even show face after I click it in the start menu. Such is Vista life. I...

    Nero 8 Ultra Edition

    That's strange considering Nero modeled the latest version specifically around Vista, though I never tried it there myself.

    Intel to Delay X48 Launch to Help Clear Out X38 Stock

    NVIDIA is not about to jump on the DDR3 train... and it's a good thing. It's still far too expensive. X48 is still an Intel chipset so it will not support SLI. But the ultra-expensive Skulltrail will be based off of X48 and will support it. But again, it will be expensive. I have an ASUS board...

    "It's Time for AMD to Give it Up"

    From our front-page news:I have to wonder if CNet ever proofs blog posts before they go live, because one of their latest is appalling. Tech blogger Don Reisinger somehow believes that it would be best for AMD if they were to fold. Yeah, that's it. I'm a fan of Intel like most people, but anyone...

    Hands-on with Online OpenOffice

    From our front-page news: I somehow overlooked the fact that Ulteo was putting OpenOffice into a web browser, but apparently they have, and Ars Technica has a preview. Web apps offer obvious benefits, but I am still skeptical, especially with ones like OpenOffice that require external memory...

    Intel to Delay X48 Launch to Help Clear Out X38 Stock

    From our front-page news: This is just a rumor, but it would come as no surprise if it were true. The rumor is that Intel will be delaying the launch of it's X48 chipset due to the fact that there is so much X38 stock available. Who didn't see this coming? X38 was launched just in November, and...

    Mozilla Releases Persona - Simplied Theme Management

    From our front-page news: Mozilla have just released a new Firefox extension called "Personas" which makes it easier for both developers and end-users to take advantage of themes. Up to now, themes were a clunky affair, both in searching for them and in execution. Personas looks to take out all...

    Nero 8 Ultra Edition

    Is Nero's latest upgrade worth the cash? We are leaning towards yes. With 8, Nero have shown renewed focus on what it is consumers are most interested in, and as a result, have made the application much easier to use. Read on as we explore all that's new and notable. You can read Nate's full...

    The Rig That Rob Built

    For those unaware, I've been chuggling along for a while with a rather old computer to help me get work done. The main PC I use for work is just that... for work, so demands have never been that high. However, earlier this year I felt that slowdown was beginning to become apparent, so I knew an...

    Why Do Apple Customers Care So Much?

    I have had such a love/hate relationship with Apple for years... it's truly insane. One day I will like what I see, and the next, they will do something that rubs me the wrong way. I am not sure if I will ever be a "fan" of Apple, but I am sure I will pick up one of their products at some point...

    Top 8 Vista Annoyances

    I agree that Microsoft shoots themselves in the foot with their stupid activation scheme, but like bl1k1 said, it can be taken care of with a phone call. Still stupid, however. I have a legal copy of Vista Ultimate and Office 2007 Professional sitting on the shelf that can't even be installed...
