    Microsoft to Utilize UEFI to Make Boots Faster with Windows 8

    Won't certainly dispute that. ARM uses a chain of trust method based on a public key signature protocol, for which Ellipsys-SB was developed. There's also the AEGIS secure bootstrap process (pdf link), developed at the University of Pennsylvania. These are two examples, of which I'm unsure of...

    NVIDIA Talks PC Gaming Trends

    Err... Ok. I'm... speechless. This has to be the weirdest thing I've read in many years.

    NVIDIA Talks PC Gaming Trends

    Kayden, I can tell you one thing for sure. If I'm to develop an on-request exclusive to a console platform (and especially if that is about a DLC for a game previously released on the PC platform) make no mistake I would only do that through an agreement involving an hefty sum of money. I don't...

    NVIDIA Talks PC Gaming Trends

    Why would Developers prefer Console Development and why would Publishers prefer Console Releases to Occur Earlier than PC Releases? It's become evident to anyone who's been following PC gaming trends that consoles having been having an impact on both game studios and publishers. We've all heard...

    NVIDIA Talks PC Gaming Trends

    Superman, you are in for a surprise if you actually think I care for consoles... at all. The thing is I share the same distaste for these gaming platforms as anyone else in here, and what they have been doing to PC gaming. I just don't try to justify that annoyance (and sometimes even anger)...

    The Official "I'm Pumped About Battlefield 3" Thread

    Did the question on twitter included information on the resolution? Because that's pretty much the determining factor concerning the settings. That is, is this concerning 19xx resolutions and higher? Or it also affects lower resolutions, like mine 1440x900?

    NVIDIA Talks PC Gaming Trends

    I really would love to dispel some of these console vs pc myths. But I'm just not sure that's worth or I'll be listened. With all respect, Kayden you need to take a step back and reconsider if it really makes any sense to put up these type of wild conjectures. If you don't think that damages...

    Battlefield 3 & Diablo III Betas On the Horizon

    I sort of agree with you. But considering the millionaire liquid profits of gaming studios and publishers, I'd say the biggest scam is in game pricing. Don't see you complaining about that :p

    Battlefield 3 & Diablo III Betas On the Horizon

    You do realize that this auction things is just for anyone wanting to have items without working hard for them, don't you? You can still do what you want to do and not ever once go there. You can play the game and get those items yourself. I'm not sure I see your point.

    Battlefield 3 & Diablo III Betas On the Horizon

    I actually have mixed opinions about that one. This is something really worth of debating, I think. We should do it sometime. The introduction of official channels for game items transactions with real money can impact greatly what it means to be a gamer in the upcoming years. But generally...

    Microsoft to Utilize UEFI to Make Boots Faster with Windows 8

    Yup, I agree most board vendors will include the on/of option. But that's not what I was trying to address. The issue here is that you'll have to give up on a OS feature in order to install another OS in the machine. Something that we thought we were over with. If you disable SB because you...

    Microsoft to Utilize UEFI to Make Boots Faster with Windows 8

    EFI was the name of the former specification. It was changed to UEFI (U standing for Unified) when Intel ceased its development of this technology and allowed for a consortium of companies (which it also belongs) to expand on their former work. This consortium is called Unified EFI Forum. UEFI...

    Microsoft to Utilize UEFI to Make Boots Faster with Windows 8

    The problem with the UEFI Secure Boot protocol is the digital certificate from a recognized CA, which frankly cannot work for operating systems the likes of Linux. It's a major "oversight" of this technology and why I don't personally support it. It's however extremely effective and this I...

    Nikon Announces Mirrorless V1 & J1 Cameras

    And the cool thing is that this is almost certainly a camera format others will want to imitate. I don't expect these prices to stay like this for long. In any case I would probably gladly payed that price an year ago. It doesn't beat my own Canon Rebel T3i. But when I bought it at close to 900...

    Battlefield 3 & Diablo III Betas On the Horizon

    Went to my Battle.net account (which admittedly I didn't for at least an year) and despite my listed 3 copies of Diablo II and LoD registered there, being registered on the Diablo Universe beta program since forever, Blizzard didn't think me worth enough to send me their D3 beta. Will wait for...
