Micron Begins Sampling 16nm 128Gb MLC NAND
Micron’s been doing its part in recent years to keep NAND progression going at a good pace, and with today’s announcement of its 16nm 128Gb sampling, it looks like things might not change for a while. You might recall that in late 2011, the company, in partnership with Intel, announced the market’s…..
AMD’s 5GHz FX-9590 & 4.4GHz FX-9370 Now Available – Just Expect to Look Hard for Them
At last month’s E3, AMD unveiled the world’s first consumer 5GHz processor, and now, it’s finally becoming available – but in small doses. AMD’s new top-end is the FX-9590, which is stock-clocked at 4.7GHz but can peak at 5.0GHz when the load demands it, while the FX-9370 is clocked at 4.4GHz and…..
Capcom Announces Ultra Street Fighter IV, Due in 2014
Over the weekend, the world’s best tournament fighting gamers went head-to-head in the Evo Championship Series, held at the Paris hotel in Las Vegas. Many upsets and surprises were seen, and for those who may have missed out on some of them (or all of them), I’d recommend heading on over to…..

Linux 3.11 Officially Dubbed ‘Linux for Workgroups’
In a fall 2011 interview with Linux.com, Linux creator Linus Torvalds joked that he might call the 3.11 kernel “Linux for Workgroups” – either a jab or homage to the iconic Windows 3.11 for Workgroups, we’re not sure. Well, with a look at the newly-posted source code for the 3.11-rc1 kernel, we…..

Spire announced the introduction of its newest PC chassis, the PowerCube 702.

Microsoft Hopes to Boost Surface RT Sales with $150 Price Drop
Since its launch last fall, Surface RT hasn’t exactly delivered the most spectacular sales numbers. Recent reports have pit the Surface Pro at around 400,000, and the RT at 1 million. For the interesting platform that it is, being that RT uses an ARM SoC, 1 million in about ~nine months is…..
Are You in the Habit of Half-finishing Games?
Over the weekend, I finished something that I began in May of 2011: I beat CD Projekt RED’s The Witcher. While the game is rather large, sporting a massive world and many quests, the game only took me about 60 – 70 hours to complete – not 5x as long as the…..
Linden Labs Acquires Digital Game Platform Desura
The hottest news surrounding digital PC game platforms this week is Steam’s just-launched summer sale, but the most notable piece comes to us in the form of an acquisition. Linden Lab, creators of popular sim Second Life, has announced that it’s acquired Desura, a Steam competitor that specializes in indie and mod…..
Forget the Wall, Project Your Photos onto White Cliffs of Dover
As its name suggests, White Cliffs of Dover are some cliffs near the town of Dover in southeast UK that happen to be white in color. Not only that, but their overall flatness favors having an image projected off of them, a fact that advertising firm Projection Advertising was hardly oblivious to.…..

You might not be able to sell digital games on either the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, but Sony has announced that where its console is concerned, it has no problem allowing you to play your games at a friend’s house. The process is simple: log into your account on your friend’s…..
Another One Bites the Dust: PCWorld Ceasing Paper Publication
As someone who grew up through the 80s and 90s, before the popularity of the Internet, I used to read magazines like there was no tomorrow. Favorites of mine included Gamepro, PC Gamer, MacAddict, CVG, PC Accelerator and PCWorld. While I haven’t purchased a computer magazine in quite a while – and…..
In Company Email, Steve Ballmer Details Company Reorganization and Refreshed Focus
In an email sent to Microsoft employees this morning, company CEO Steve Ballmer lays out plans to increase the company’s overall speed, efficiency and capability “in a fast changing world“. With recent happenings, it’s easy to assume that the Xbox One debacle had something to do with this, but in the email,…..
Valve Launches Much-anticipated Steam Summer Sale
For PC gamers, few things make summer feel quite like summer like Valve’s annual Steam Summer Sale. I can tell from comments I’ve read around the Web the past couple of weeks (especially Reddit) that some have been (im)patiently waiting, and today, you can finally all relax. It’s here, and as expected,…..
It’s Official: Dota 2 Has Finally Launched
In what may be a very anti-climatic launch for currently active Dota 2 players, Valve has given word that the game has (finally) gone gold. Considering that Dota 2 has been in “beta” since 2011 and already consists of the largest playerbase ever for any game Valve has previously released, this might…..
Judge Rules that Apple Conspired to Raise eBook Prices
In 2010, the United States’ Department of Justice filed a suit against Apple for conspiring to raise eBook prices. Today, District Judge Denise Cote reveals that she agrees, with penalties against Apple to be discussed later. The case began not long after Apple’s original iPad release, which had a big eBook focus.…..
Game Publishers: Wii U Game Sales Have ‘Been a Disappointment’
Not long after the launch of the original Wii, I posted an article entitled “Top 5 Wii Downfalls” which highlighted issues that I felt held the console back. Clunky UI, lack of games and “too much motion” topped the list. Despite what I thought, the Wii went on to sell approximately three…..
Google’s Chrome Version 28 Introduces Improved Notifications
Google has rolled-out version 28 of its Chrome Web browser this week, and with it comes the introduction of rich notifications, the move to the “Blink” layout engine (a fork of Webkit), improvements to JavaScript performance and as always, a slew of bug fixes and security bandaids. It’s what you see above…..
Rockstar Shows Us What GTA V Has to Offer with New Gameplay Video
It’s doubtful that Rockstar had to further prove to people that Grand Theft Auto V is going to be a game worth getting, but it’s gone ahead and released a five-minute gameplay video that just about seals the deal. Unlike a typical gameplay trailer, this one has narration, aiming to inform you about…..
CyberPowerPC Launches The ‘Ultimate Home Theater’ Zeus HTPC – It’s Attractive, To Boot
A goal that many HTPC builders have is to build a solution that’s as quiet as possible -after all, we’re talking about a PC that usually sits not far from a TV, and during the quieter parts of a movie, you probably don’t want to hear fans whirring. Going the passive route…..

NVIDIA sends along some good news for those who are planning to pick up a GeForce GTX 660 or higher GPU (excluding TITAN, for some reason) in the near-future. Starting today, any qualifying purchase will be queued up to receive Ubisoft’s Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist at its launch, currently set to…..
Fan Arrested at Concert for Tweeting the Word ‘Bomb’
It should be clear to us all by now that what you say online can bite you in the ass, and thanks to an Australian teenager, we have yet more proof to toss up onto the pile. At a 12,000 person concert for pop artist Pink held this past weekend in Warrnambool,…..
Former Valve Employee Opens Up About ‘Hidden Management’ Clique at the Company
We talked a couple of months ago about the augmented reality project that Valve let loose after it laid-off the team behind it, and now, we hear from one of those team members, Jeri Ellsworth, who explains how things went down. If you’re willing to set aside an hour-and-a-half, you can watch…..
RIP: Ryan Davis of GameSpot and Giant Bomb
Gaming website Giant Bomb has just announced the unfortunate passing of its co-founder Ryan Davis, aged 34. I admittedly didn’t know too much about Ryan, but it’s clear from the Web-wide support he’s being given, he was a big part of many gamer lives. Like a lot of us, he had a…..
Amiga Games Acquired for $500,000, 300+ Games Span the Collection
It sure looks like we’ll soon be seeing an emergence of Amiga games in the near-future, with an LA firm having acquired all of Amiga Games Inc. for $500,000. It’s unclear at this point exactly which games AGI held the rights to, but Writers’ Group Film Corp. pits the number at “300+”.…..
