Shadow Warrior Classic Redux & Original Blake Stone Source Code Released
There sure has been some serious love thrown towards Apogee classics these past few weeks – months even. It all began when Duke Nukem 3D was re-released with higher-resolution graphics and other perks in the form of the Megaton Edition (reviewed here), and continued last week with the release of Duke Nukem…..

UK School Curriculum Overhauled, Introduces Programming Courses
Through school, there were few subjects that I outright hated, but Algebra was one of them. I couldn’t fathom how I’d ever take that knowledge and use it in the real-world, and to date, I don’t think I have. There’s one thing I can tell you for certain, though: had programming been…..

Computer Mouse Inventor Douglas Engelbart Dies
I’m sure few would disagree that of all the tools we use in our computing, one of the most important is the computer mouse. Don’t use a mouse? The input device you use, touchpad or touchscreen, stems from the initial creation of the mouse, devised by Douglas Engelbart in 1967. Unfortunately, Douglas…..
Is the Xbox One at $500 Really That Expensive?
Growing up, I had a number of video game consoles to play with, but there was one I never obtained but still lusted over. There were a couple of reasons for this; first, the price tag was a ridiculous $650, which to a kid made it seem epic; and second, it essentially…..
Steve Ballmer Replaces Don Mattrick to Head Xbox Division
GAMERS, GAMERS, GAMERS! Are you ready? Earlier this week, Microsoft’s Senior VP of the company’s Xbox Division up and left for Zynga, to take over as CEO there. The move was sudden, and no doubt had a little something to do with the Xbox One debacle that the company is still trying…..
Fedora 19 Released: Brings Improved Installer, MariaDB & Developer’s Assistant Tool
One of the best parts of any Fedora release lately is being able to utter their hilarious codenames. It all began with Fedora 17 with “Beefy Miracle”, and continued with 18, “Spherical Cow”. Fedora 19? Schrödinger’s Cat. I love it… sure beats names like Yarrow, Moonshine and Lovelock. Of course, that’s actually…..

Google Reader R.I.P. (2005 – 2013)
As hard as it might be to believe that it’s been three-and-a-half months since Google announced its planned shuttering of its Reader service… believe it. While many still believe that Google’s decision here is a nonsensical and inconvenient one, we’re fortunate to have a large number of good alternatives. In fact, I believe the…..
A Quick Look at Linux Deepin 12.12
When I learned of Linux Deepin about a week ago, I jumped to the conclusion that it was just “another Ubuntu derivative”. As it turns out, I was way off-the-mark. While Deepin is based on Canonical’s ultra-popular distribution, Deepin has been around since at least 2004. Originally, the distro was based on Debian,…..

Thermaltake’s Tt eSPORTS gaming brand has introduced its two newest products, the VOLOS Gaming Mouse and the CRONOS Gaming Headset.

AMD Has Won the Next-Gen Console Battle, And Here’s Why

ASUS’ Maximus VI Extreme Helps Capture 10 Awards at Intel+Corsair OC Competition
More than any other trade show, Computex seems to act like a magnet where overclocking is concerned. There’s never a shortage of individual events going on, and one of them, by EVGA, we talked about just earlier this month. Little did we realize, Intel and Corsair teamed-up to hold an event as…..
Futuremark’s PCMark Planned for Mobile Platforms
We saw it happen with 3DMark, so this announcement almost comes as no surprise: Futuremark has plans to release a mobile variant of its PCMark benchmarking suite. There’s no launch date at the moment, but what we expect is that it’s quite a ways off, as Futuremark is talking about it as…..

NVIDIA’s Third 700 Series Card: The $249 GeForce GTX 760
After introducing two higher-end graphics cards last month in the form of the GeForce GTX 780 and 770, we wondered if NVIDIA had something else up its sleeve – you know, for those preferring to keep things well under $400. Today, we have our answer: GeForce GTX 760. Priced at $249, the…..

If claims of 4GB/s from a USB device sounds a bit outlandish, Super Talent’s Ram-Disk (stylized as Ram★Disk) is going to require some explaining.

Xbox One’s Much-Hated DRM: No More
Well well well… look at what happens when people speak out against anti-consumer practices: things can change. We won’t get into all that has been wrong with Microsoft’s Xbox One console since its announcement, because by now, it should all be clear as day. It was clear that the masses (or, at…..
