    Hi, Dad. I just saved your life. PS3 please!

    I was thinking the same thing, but with a BMW M3.

    Gigabyte To Beat ASUS To Market With X38 Offerings?

    I should have worded my comment better. I meant that as, "We will be reviewing them both at launch, to let you know if it's worth the cash or not", heh.

    LG Updating Dual-Format Super Blu Player

    That is a true pain in the ass, but it can be done. I installed Gentoo on it last month and managed to play an NES emulator using the PS3 gamepad (wired), but it took so much effort, it really is not worthwhile in the end. That aside, the PS3 is -really- slow for computer use, given that the...

    Lenovo ThinkPad Reserve Edition Revealed

    From our news: Are you an executive without a laptop? Have $5,000 to burn? Lenovo's ThinkPad Reserve edition might be for you. It's most eye-catching feature is that it's wrapped in nice leather. It's similar in specs to their current X61, which offers a 2.2GHz processor, 2GB of ram, 160GB hard...

    Intel Launches Quad-Core "Tigerton"

    With Barcelona having the wraps taken off on Monday, it's no surprise to see Intel come along with new releases directly before it happens. It's going to be an interesting week, next week, as many sites will be finally delivering Barcelona performance reports. It's difficult at this point to...

    Austin GDC 07: Interview with CCP Games

    It's nice to see that you were able to sit down with CCP for a few... very interesting interview. I am not so much of a lore buff myself, but I know a few people who are, and they really appreciate the passion and thought process that goes into the story, such as what Hjalti delivers. Also...

    Zalman Z-Machine GT1000

    I agree that the price is bordering on asinine. I can vouch for the quality of the case though. I was at Greg's house when he first received it, and even saw him squeal like a girl when he first took it out of the box. Very solid case, I love the look of it, but I dislike the lame "Z-Machines"...

    Xp 32 vs Xp 64

    It could be normal Windows issues... I've sometimes installed fresh copies of XP and found it to run slow, then re-install it and have it run great. Windows is a strange OS in that regard. Like Greg said, there's really nothing you could have missed during install. I'd run Windows Update and...

    Hard-Drive That Features 1GB of DDR2 RAM

    It makes perfect sense, really. RAM is so fast, and 1GB -is- a lot of storage, so to have it as a buffer should improve things significantly. I wonder how hot it would get in full use, though.

    Gigabyte To Beat ASUS To Market With X38 Offerings?

    "I'm not about to buy the first X38 that pops out in the market." I agree with that... new components are too expensive to take chances on. That said, we will have a review of both Gigabyte's and ASUS' X38 boards when they become available. Gigabyte's review will likely be first, given this...

    Palm Cancels The Foleo

    That article was great. Once PALM gets their Linux-based-OS going, hopefully it will be the beginning of great things to come for them. I've always had interest in picking up a Treo or something similar, but for now I will sit back and see what they have up their sleeves. Of course, I am...

    Toshiba announces 32GB SDHC cards

    Hah, I plan on following-up with a comparison run of 4GB and 8GB cards, possibly 16GB but it's not really that important. 16GB and higher is absolutely needless on a D-SLR, unless you happen to be using one of those 20-megapixel wonders. 16GB and 32GB would be great in a high-definition video...

    Holy Freakin' Crap iPod

    The iPod Touch has caught my interest a little bit, but I am not sure I'd like to pay that kind of premium on a player with such low storage. You could get the iPod Touch 16GB for $400, or a 160GB iPod Classic for $50 less. The Touch is expensive primarily because of it's wicked screen and WiFi...

    LG Updating Dual-Format Super Blu Player

    I totally agree. The huge downside is still the price. For an extra $100 - $150 on top of what this $1,000 player costs, you could pick up a Playstation 3 -and- Xbox 360 with HD-DVD add-on. I realize a lot of people are hardcore movie-buffs and not gamers, but from a value standpoint, getting...

    Taking my TJ07 to the watcooling extreme

    Looking good man! I wish I knew more about modding in general to offer some worthwhile insight, but I know nothing so I will just sit back and watch. :D

    Project: Deuce

    Man... I am in awe of your setup. I would have no clue how to use any of it, but it looks great regardless! Seriously, great stuff. I also love those waterblocks... will they appear to glow like that once installed as well? Did it cost an arm and a leg to get that altered, or did they give you a...

    The Ups the Downs... It's Gamestop!

    While I do understand the confusion (FFXI -does- have an expansion pack due in Winter 07, which is what the chick saw on the screen), I think it's absolutely ridiculous that an employee of a game store doesn't know anything about one of the most popular MMORPGs on the market (4 million...

    Austin GDC 07: Interview with CCP Games

    One of the more important aspects of any MMO game is having some great back-story. To gain an idea of what goes on behind the scenes, we sat down with both Web Fiction Author and also the Communications Director for CCP Games, creators of EVE Online. You can read the full interview here and...
