Malicious QR Codes? Believe It Or Not, They Exist
I wouldn’t go as far to say that QR codes are “popular”, but they’re definitely out there. Recently, I spotted one on the door to a coffee shop. Its purpose? To let job-seekers scan it and get a quick link to an application form, saving them from even going through the door.…..
Update to Our Chassis Testing Methodology
While writing an upcoming review I started to think about our current case testing system. When we decided upon it, we wanted a system that was flexible enough to fit into most cases, without compromising the components being used. For example, a micro-ATX motherboard allows us to test not only full-tower and…..

Gabe Newell Confirms Valve’s Plans to Release Console-like PC
It was revealed in September that Valve has been hard at work building its own “console”, but aside from that fact itself, we’ve known little else. However, with the recent launch of Big Picture, it’s become clear that Valve has big plans for its Steam platform on the TV. In a recent…..
Valve Beginning to List Linux System Requirements for Select Titles on Steam
Perhaps hinting at the fact that the official Steam for Linux launch isn’t too far off, Valve has begun updating some game pages to include Linux system requirements.

Yet Another Example of How eBay Sellers Can Be Easily Scammed
Who’s up for another “eBay screwed me over and favored the scam artist” story? Well, you’re in luck, because we have an absolute doozy here. Vlad Gurovich sold the iPhone 5 his father didn’t need on eBay, at which point a buyer with a decent positive feedback history snatched it up. The process…..
Velocity Micro’s Edge AIO PC Combines Performance, High Customization and Good Looks
The people at Velocity Micro feel that the all-in-one PC market is full of “uninspired, underpowered” models that offer a “sub-par user experience” and quite frankly, are not attractive. Such statements would seem a bit odd if not accompanied by a product announcement, so that’s where the Edge AIO steps in. Entering the ring…..
Microsoft Avails Office 2013 to Business Customers, Pegs Q1 Release for Consumers
Despite the fact that Microsoft reached RTM status with its Office suite of products in October, it’s been playing hard to get when it comes to actually getting the software into the hands of consumers. Up to this point, TechNet and MSDN subscribers have been the sole beneficiaries of the software, though…..

A Look at Steam’s Hardware Survey for November 2012
This month’s Steam hardware survey is special for a couple of reasons: it’s the last update we’ll get during 2012, and it represents the first full month since Windows 8’s release. Last month, we saw Microsoft’s latest OS capture 0.22% of the market, which wasn’t bad given it didn’t officially release until…..
Apple Releases iTunes 11 – Brings Improved Performance, Aesthetics and Ease-of-use
Apple’s “completely redesigned player” might have taken longer to get here than we expected, but don’t fret: iTunes 11 is upon us. At its Worldwide Developer Conference held this past summer, Apple promised that iTunes 11 would be the best version yet – faster, easier-to-use and with improved aesthetics. In quick tests,…..

Microsoft has finally announced pricing for Surface Pro: $899 USD for the 64GB model; $999 for the 128GB. Whereas the Surface “RT” model has more of a tablet-only focus given its use of an ARM SoC, Surface Pro behaves more like a tablet or notebook PC thanks to its inclusion of a…..
Name Your Price: Humble THQ Bundle Offers Metro 2033, Darksiders, CoH and SR 3
Because Humble Bundles have become, for the lack of a better term, a “dime a dozen”, we haven’t reported on them all. But once in a while, a new Bundle will come along that stops me right in my tracks and makes it difficult to put words to digital paper. “The Humble…..
Microsoft to All Internet Explorer Haters: Stop Trolling and Give Us Another Shot
Microsoft is tired of seeing people bash Internet Explorer just for the heck of it, so it’s posted a video to YouTube that draws attention to just how lame the trolling really is. In it, we see an IE-hater who has various propaganda strewn around his room – such as a drawing…..
OCZ’s Barefoot 3-infused Vector SSD is Here – Boasts “Groundbreaking” Performance
With the launch of its Vector SSD today, OCZ has given itself good reason to celebrate. No – it’s not because Vector is one of the fastest 2.5-inch SSDs on the planet, nor because it has one of the coolest names from OCZ’s entire line-up. Instead, it’s because the company has released…..

Barnes & Noble CEO William Lynch Admits to Preferring Digital Books
From most people, the words “I prefer eBooks” isn’t too shocking. After all, newspapers, books, magazines and so on have been moving over to digital platforms in droves for a while. But when you’re the CEO of a mega-bookstore, people tend to take notice. That’s where Barnes & Noble’s CEO William Lynch…..
Want to Eat Less? Augmented Reality Glasses Could Help
If you’re like me and can’t manage to open up a fresh box of Oreos without snatching an entire row’s worth of cookies, this story is for you. We’ve already seen some of what Google could offer with its “Project Glass” augmented reality (AR) glasses, such as being able to scan food…..
GOG.com Lets You Pick 5 (Out of 20) Games for $10
Our friends over at GOG.com have just kicked off another great promotion, this time offering an awesome collection of games for what I believe are the lowest prices ever seen on the site. It’s called “Pick 5 & Pay $10“, and while it’d be great if this took into consideration the entire…..
WD’s Black 4TB Caters to You Speed-Lovin’ Storage Buffs
Where hard drives are concerned, a “4TB” stamp is no longer that surprising to see, as multiple options have been available for a little while. When we filter out both external enclosures and workstation markets, however, things begin to change. There, options have been just-about non-existent. But today, we have WD’s latest…..
