Intel’s DZ75ML-45K Motherboard Gains Lucid Virtu MVP Support
Our friends at Intel have sent word that the company’s DZ75ML-45K mainstream motherboard has recently gained support for a cool feature: Lucid Virtu MVP. Better still, it’ll support the upcoming version 2.0 (set to release in early 2013) right out of the gate. Virtu MVP isn’t a technology we’ve talked about too…..
Microsoft Hints At Xbox 720 Unveiling at E3 in June
It may not ultimately be called the Xbox 720, but it seems like Microsoft’s next major console announcement will happen at E3 in June. Though this has been speculated for a while, it’s further pushed by the fact that Microsoft’s Larry Hryb, aka Major Nelson, has just posted a countdown clock for…..
Is GameStick OUYA’s First Major Competitor?
Hot on the heels of OUYA’s achievement of shipping out 1,200 consoles to developers comes a brand-new Kickstarter project that looks to directly compete with the platform.

Intel’s Web TV Progress Held Up By Negotiations
Intel’s plans to bring its own TV service to market has just hit the most obvious of snags: content negotiation. It could be that many different markets are complicated for companies to do business in, but when it comes to music and video, it seems overly so. How many times have you…..
Canonical Announces Ubuntu for Smartphones
Canonical had been teasing a touch OS for the past couple of days, but like most people, I thought we were going to see a desktop solution or perhaps a tablet one. But no, we’re dealing with a smartphone solution here, and I must say I’m rather impressed. Canonical has announced that…..
Small Californian Cinema Re-opens After a Move to a Subscription Model
Given the popularity of movies, it’s sometimes hard to believe that so many cinemas end up going out of business. There are a number of reasons it could happen, from a big gun rolling into town and drawing customers in like magnets, a general lack of support from the public, the advent…..
Windows 8 Proving to be Less Popular than Vista
Microsoft’s latest OS has been out for just over two months, and so far, reaction to it has been mixed. While the company had been touting it as being a revolutionary release, many were skeptical about using an OS clearly optimized for touch-devices on their desktops and notebooks – and so far,…..

Want to Run Linux on Your Microsoft Surface? Good Luck!
Microsoft’s Surface tablet is an interesting specimen for a couple of reasons, but one of the biggest is that it’s a tablet that features a desktop OS (although the RT edition is very scaled-down). Because of this, some had hoped that installing another OS on it would be fairly simple. After all,…..

Samsung Expects to Ship 510 Million Phones in 2013
While it’s hard – if not impossible – to catch up to the likes of Apple in the revenue department, Samsung has had a rather stellar 2012, with an estimated 420 million handsets shipped. In 2013, the company hopes to boost that number to 510 million. Think about that for a second.…..
Don’t Understand Facebook Privacy? Mark Zuckerberg’s Sister Doesn’t Either
Use Facebook? Of course you do. Alright, maybe not that one person at the back. Chances are you understand all too well how difficult it is to get total control over your account – that is, understanding exactly who and what sees your information. No one could blame you. The only way…..
Netflix Rumored to Gain Social Features in 2013
It would seem inevitable that a major Web service like Netflix would have a variety of social-related features, but because of a law that prevented the company from being able to share a user’s video history, such features have been stifled. With the passing of an amendment to that law made last…..

Remember that Minecraft documentary that we first talked about last February? Well, the project has just issued a sweet update: it’s out. Even better, you can download it for free.

AMD Discusses Radeon HD 8000M Series
Ahead of its official launch to take place during CES, AMD took the time to discuss some of what’s in store for its Radeon HD 8000M series. Yes – M, as in “mobile”. AMD at the moment is remaining quiet with regards to its desktop counterparts, no doubt due to the fact…..
Tracking Your Total Playtime and Account Value with Steam Time Analysis
For Steam fans wanting to get a quick look at the total value of their account, Steam Calculator has been a popular go-to choice. However, it has some obvious short-comings, such as the fact that it could count a game you purchased at a massive discount at its current price. This is…..
Raspberry Pi Now Has Its Own App Store
Since the first Raspberry Pi board shipped, both the community surrounding the platform and software support has exploded.
