    Nvidia 9800 Rumors

    Good. I am still loving my single 8800GTX... I'd hate to think I need to upgrade that beast already. Any game I've tested runs just fine on max resolution of a 30" monitor with lots of eye candy.

    Überclok Pre-Overclocks Their Machines To The Limit

    I didn't look that deep at things, or compare prices, but their top-end machine is $2,500 with the 3.7GHz E6850, 8800GTX, 2GB of ram, DVD burner, 500GB hard-drive and of course the OS and whatever else is required. How that compares to other systems on the market, I'm not sure.

    WOW Pen

    I've never heard of this before, but it's definitely a niche product. If you have a specific need, it should be good, but I don't think it's for everyone.

    OCZ Announces PCP&C Turbo-Cool 1200 Power Supply

    If you build a machine with a Quad-Core CPU, maxed out RAM, dual 8800 Ultra's, four hard-drives, two ODDs and a slew of other peripherals, then a 1,000W would -still- be a little over the top. 800W should settle that system nicely. But 1,200W goes even beyond all of that... I am just basing my...

    RIAA Awarded $222,000 in First Jury Trial

    That part pissed me off. I am just glad I don't live in the US... although it wouldn't surprise me if the Canuck equivalent wound up just as bad, down the road.

    Überclok Pre-Overclocks Their Machines To The Limit

    From our front-page news: Ever notice how a lot of companies who promise pre-overclocked gaming-PCs never actually push the hardware that's installed anywhere close to the limit? Chicago-based Überclok are not afraid to push their machines to the (reasonable) limit, and who's to blame them...

    The ThinkGeek 8-bit Tie

    A few of us monkeys at ThinkGeek had this great shared dream a few months ago. In it, the whole world was 8-Bit, just like the video games we grew up on. We found ourselves having to leap from platform to platform, to search for pieces of the Triforce of Wisdom, and to fight scary mutated plants...

    S2 Games is developing and publishing the sequel to their ambitious online action RTS , Savage: The Battle for Newearth independently, so the sequel will go into beta when they say so. They say so. Savage 2: A Tortured Soul is now entering the beta testing stage for pre-order customers. What...

    Vin Diesel, Paul Walker Both Return In Fast & The Furious 4

    From our front-page news: I admit that I'm not much of a movie buff, but when it's a movie about cars, it's a different story. When it's a movie about cars, women, beer and racing, I'm glued to the seat. Like many, I was a big fan of 2001's Fast and the Furious, but was disappointed with the two...

    OS X Leopard Due Out This Month? Canadian iPhone En Route As Well?

    From our front-page news: I'm not a Mac user, but even I am finding the wait for OS X Leopard to be taking forever. Not surprisingly, rumors have been floating around for a while as to a potential release date, but as of now, rumor has it that October 26th could be the day. Apple has a history...

    RIAA Awarded $222,000 in First Jury Trial

    From our front-page news:Wow, what can be said that isn't blatantly obvious? The RIAA has won another major case, against Jammie Thomas, a single mother with two kids. RIAA cases have always been ridiculous, but this one is more so because the jury decided that it was fair for a single mother to...

    Microsoft Drops WGA Checks for IE7

    From our front-page news: Firefox is simple, while IE is not (ok, that's a matter of opinion). You download and install Firefox without much of an issue. At best, it will inconvenience you with regards to importing Internet Explorer bookmarks. IE7 on the other hand, requires you go through the...

    Rob Malda Reflects On The Past 10 Years

    From our front-page news: Slashdot. Whether you love it or hate it, there's no denying the effect it has had on news websites, and the internet in general. It's hard to believe the monster it has become, and it was all started as a joke... a casual site that wasn't supposed to go anywhere. Wired...

    "Recommended System Reqs" are useless

    Well, it's comparable to saying that you need at least a Toyota Celica or Ferrari F430 to race at the Nurburgring.

    Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000 & VX-3000

    Microsoft released two brand-new webcams last month, the VX-3000 and VX-6000, both of which have a huge feature-set. The better of the two even offers "high-definition" 1.3 megapixel video capabilities. We've been testing both webcams for the past month and relay our thoughts here. You can read...

    Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H

    This isn't your fault, heh, it's mine, I admit it. I read over those sections without a second thought, but I knew full-well of the quirky BIOS, because I had that same problem with the first Gigabyte board I've reviewed. I really need to stop editing reviews in the middle of the night. Sorry all.

    "Recommended System Reqs" are useless

    Well, I was focusing more on the "NVIDIA 7800GTX+ or ATI x1300+ Video Card" than anything. Two completely different classes of cards.
