Enthusiast SSDs may get all of the fame and glory, but it’s the value brands that always sell the most drives.

Imagine, for a moment, that with the Windows 8 launch, Microsoft decided to instate a rule that would allow it to take a 30% cut of any third-party software sale. It seems silly, and such a move would no doubt raise prices of software all-around – but this is how things are done in the mobile space. Because we’re used to such low app…

When you think of GPGPU, what first comes to mind? Video encoding? Image restoration? Password cracking? How about Internet browsing?

A couple of weeks ago, I took a look at ASUS’ O!Play media player, and it’s going to be the first of many such products that pass through our labs. Though they’re simple in overall design, they serve an important purpose, by helping to make our media-viewing lives even easier. While it’s tough to find one that’s “perfect”, there are certainly…
