    Internet Explorer Usage Falls Below 50% for First Time in Decade

    It's interesting to notice the 3.04 difference of IE market share. Combined with portable devices, IE drops to 49.59. When looking only at desktops IE drops to 52.63. Since IE representation on the smart phone and tablet market is extremely low, this 3.04% difference clues us in as to how big...

    Ikonik Ra2000 Liquid Full-Tower Chassis Review

    Another great review Greg! Thanks. I love it how you are always willing let us know also about those products that better fit more modest (and more common) wallets. I have a few questions this time though. 1. Could you elaborate on your preference for the two intake radiators? The way I see it...

    Apple Purchased 3D Mapping Company C3 Earlier this Year

    If they pull it out, this will totally rule over Google 3D maps. And will be way, way, cooler. Was never much a fan of Google's 3D solution. Entirely dependent of user contributions (which is just another rung on the ladder for cultural dominance) and often just plain wrong (buildings not...

    I am the luckiest sob...

    Holly, Kayden! I mean, wow! It's never enough repeating, have you any idea of how lucky you were!? There's a god after all. I've been wrong all this time. Thank goodness, mate.

    Who made a mess of the trash?

    Oh, rofl. Tank could trash my entire house, pretty much. With those eyes of his I couldn't help but hug the bastard.

    ASUS X79 Motherboard Preview

    The Sabertooth looks absolutely gorgeous... (what!? That is important too!). I'm sure it goes very nicely with my office earth tones. All I need now is military green RAM and a brown GPU. But not mahogany. Or pine. Oak. Oak would be fine, thank you. Please ship to my usual address ;) On another...

    Who's looking like he has absolutely no idea whatsoever, and resents being asked, where the 5th bottle is?

    Nintendo Posts First-Half Losses of $932 Million USD

    The drop is immense. I'd say a complete disaster to Nintendo. If you guys look carefully at the last two pages of the financial report, that reads like the worst nightmare to any company. Not one, not a single one, aspect of Nintendo business grew from last year. Nothing. Everything, software...

    The sides of the human brain

    TED has published a fascinating talk by psychiatrist Iain McGilchrist about the left and right hemispheres of our brains. What we now understand them to be (debunking some old myths), how they interact with each other and the profound effect they have in our lifes. More importantly even, the...

    The State Of Western Digital Overseas & Here At Home

    I'll agree there. And I for sure agree this will have a big impact on prices for the upcoming months. My point however is how fast Amazon changed prices (and now Newegg, I hear) when I'm almost positive -- but not really sure -- they are doing it on old stock.

    TSMC Begins Volume Production of 28nm Parts

    An impressive move. From 40nm to 28nm in just one generation. Couldn't this make the current generation of GPUS very rapidly obsolete, at least in terms of power consumption? A couple of months ago I was reading somewhere else how cards like the GTX 560 Ti could become a standard for the next...

    The State Of Western Digital Overseas & Here At Home

    Oh they talked about it alright. But I'd like to read at Western Digital press release and from there immediately know I need to increase the sell price of my items already in stock by £13. But I can't. To enter into more detail: This is WD latest press release on this matter...

    Orcs Must Die! Review

    Been hearing great things about that game, indeed. Warhammer was my favorite game back when it used to be just a tabletop wargame with figurines and a metric tape. Well, that's not entirely true. It was my second best (its fantasy battle version was my first. Warhammer 40,000 came a close...

    FinalWire Releases AIDA64 2.00

    Indeed. Very interesting. AIDA64 is one of the few tools I still need to include on my list of purchased applications. I'd make extensive use of its gadget feature, less of its system diagnostics tools and none of its benchmark tools. So have been -- shamefully, I must add -- delaying...

    Orcs Must Die! Review

    Update to the Review The October 25, 2011 patch introduces custom keybinding to the user.cfg file, so players can finally change their control settings. This was my one and only real contention with the game, so it is only fair it gets mentioned Robot Entertainment fixed it for us... To...

    Apple patents "slide to unlock"

    Apparently also on other phones prior to this patent, like a certain HP iPAQ back in 2003. Never used one, so I'm unsure as to the credibility of these claims. If true, this patent seems ripe for being demolished in an actual court of law. I'm thinking... if I can patent gestures on a mobile...
