Google Enables Street View in the Amazon
If I had to compile a personal list of favorite technologies released in the past decade, the tech behind Google Earth would be near the top. I first discovered it prior to Google acquiring Keyhole, and fell in love. To be able to scour the earth in such a manner while sitting comfortably behind your PC is undoubtedly cool. And then, Google went…
DJ Soars to the Top of the Charts with Stolen Credit Cards
If you’re a musician aiming to reach the top of the charts, you might not want to take the same route that UK-based DJ Denver White did. White, with the help of about 10 others, allegedly used stolen credit cards to purchase his music through iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby and Tunecore. This of course resulted in White’s name reaching…
Adobe Releases Photoshop CS6 Public Beta
Hot on the heels of its Lightroom 4.0 launch, Adobe has released the first public beta of Photoshop CS6. As expected, there are many features coming to CS6, though only a few are documented by Adobe at this time. “Content-Aware Patch” seems to be the most talked-about, a major update to Content-Aware first…
NVIDIA Launches the GeForce GTX 680
NVIDIA has today released the first offering based on its Kepler architecture, the GeForce GTX 680. If you were beginning to think that graphics cards were becoming a little boring, I am sure AMD’s recent launch of its HD 7000 series and now NVIDIA’s launch of Kepler remedies that.
Blizzard ‘Looking into’ Bringing WoW to iPhone
Are you a World of Warcraft player? Are you a World of Warcraft player who spontaneously twitches when not in front of the game? If you answered “yes” to either of those, and especially the latter, good news: it seems hopeful that Blizzard will be bringing World of Warcraft to the iPhone. Well, to be more accurate, the company is “looking…
Eurocom Ships Ultra-Powerful ‘Panther 4.0’ 3D Notebook
A couple of years ago, a company by the name of Eurocom caught my attention. It might have had something to do with the fact that the folks there threw 4x OCZ Vertex 480GB 2 SSDs into a notebook… I’m not sure. Nonetheless, the company is always at the ready to deliver the highest-performing notebooks in the world, and its latest…
Synology Releases Business-Bound DS412+ NAS Server
Synology has today released the latest iteration of its business-oriented DS400+ NAS series, the DS412+. The most-touted feature isn’t with the performance, but rather the chassis. Realizing that while some might not mind seeing drive bays exposed, others would rather cover them up, Synology gives users a choice with the…
Western Digital Releases 2TB My Passport Portable Hard Drive
Need a lot of storage on the go, but don’t want to lug around a heavy enclosure? Western Digital’s latest ‘My Passport’ drives are just what you’re looking for. Not only are they trendy and durable, the series is the first-ever to offer a 2TB model. Yes, we’re talking a product not much larger than a mobile drive itself, at 2,000GB.
Aziz Ansari Releases Latest Comedy Special for $5; DRM-free
A couple of weeks ago, I posted about comedian Jim Gaffigan’s plans to release his next special DRM-free and for just $5, a la Louis CK. Today, we find out that another comedian, Aziz Ansari, has decided to take the same route. His special is called Dangerously Delicious, and was filmed at some stop during his 2010 tour.
ASUS Releases Graphics Card Tuning Utility ‘GPU Tweak’
It seems that all GPU vendors want to have their own GPU tweaking / monitoring tool, with ASUS being the latest to hop on the bandwagon. With its “GPU Tweak” utility, the company claims that it’s delivering the most feature-packed, customizable and comprehensive tuning utility in the market. Like other tools, an ASUS-branded…
DLC Quest: The Game Where Everything Simple Must be Purchased
I’m sure it’s clear by now, but we have two minds about DLC at Techgage. In some cases, DLC might offer some real value, but other times it can feel like nothing more than a nickel & dime scheme. In fact, I wrote an article calling it just that a couple of years ago. Some comparisons for “good” DLC and “bad” involve…
Apple to Pay Out Dividends; Buy Back $10b Worth of Shares
After Apple posted its best-ever quarter this past January, many wondered what the company would do with the sheer amount of cash it has in the bank. With the $13.06 billion in profited that quarter, the company reached $97.6 billion in the bank, a staggering number to say the least. Many speculated that the company would simply…
Neo Geo X Handheld Gets Official
Weeks ago, an image floated around the Internet of a rumored handheld device, a la Nintendo DS or PSP Vita, that would give mobile gamers access to the best games ever to hit the old Neo Geo AES console. Yes, we’re talking Metal Slug, Fatal Fury and of course, The King of Fighters. Well, while it seemed unlikely that any…

Atari, Overhaul Games and Wizard of the Coast announced yesterday that the development of Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition and Baldur’s Gate 2: Enhanced Edition has started and is planned for release starting Summer 2012. Now, please excuse me while I got to the other room to jump and scream of joy without breaking…
Encyclopaedia Britannica to End Print Edition; Goes 100% Digital
When I was growing up, I had fun hauling a random volume from our encyclopedia collection from the shelf and looking through it, unsure of what I was going to read about. I am sure I’m not alone. With the advent of the Internet, however, the lustre of owning an actual encyclopedia set has undoubtedly lessened for many, and with the…
The Joys of Purchasing Content
We live in a content-rich world, and no matter what you’re in the mood for, there’s always something to read, watch or play. Well, if only it was that simple. Want to game? Register it first, hope that it connects successfully to some server, pray that Games for Windows Live starts up, and then play. Want to watch a movie? Things are not…
NVIDIA’s Kepler-based GPUs Rumored to Feature Dynamic Overclocking
It’s being rumored that NVIDIA’s upcoming Kepler-based graphics cards will feature dynamic overclocking, much like Intel’s ‘Turbo’. On Intel’s side, if a particular process needs a little more oomph, Turbo kicks in and gives certain cores a clock boost. NVIDIA’s implementation will almost be a verbatim replica of Turbo, as…
GIGABYTE Launches North American Battlefield 3 Competition
If you’re what you’d consider to be an elite Battlefield 3 player, and maybe even if not, GIGABYTE’s latest competition is well worth checking out. The company has opened registration to construct teams that could win some sweet prizes for placing in first, second or even third. Sure, winning the competition would provide much…
NVIDIA joins the Linux Foundation
In a surprising announcement today, The Linux Foundation made it known that NVIDIA has become a member of this nonprofit consortium of companies tasked with the promotion and growth of the Linux operating system. NVIDIA joins its name to such companies as IBM, Intel or AMD. NVIDIA currently offers a proprietary driver…
Apple Launches the New iPad
Apple unveiled yesterday the new iPad, aptly named iPad. That’s right, the third generation of the iPad brand dispenses any need for version naming. Most likely because this is a vastly different product from the original iPad, both in features and presentation. Much has been talked about the third generation of iPad. For nearly a year, press and users were…
Valve, Razer and Sixense: Motion-Sensing on Steam
Razer, the well known manufacturer of computer accessories for gamers and Sixense Entertainment, a developer of motion-sensing technology, announced this Tuesday motion-sensing support for Valve’s games Half-Life 2, Team Fortress and Left 4 Dead. How so? With the Razer Hydra motion-sensing PC device…
Intel’s 313 “Hawley Creek” Caching SSDs Expected Around Ivy Bridge?
By now, solid-state drives shouldn’t need any introduction. The performance, latency, power, and even longevity of most SSDs easily exceeds that of a traditional hard disk drive – but so does the price. Perhaps this is why the solid-state caching phenomenon has seemingly exploded, with just about every SSD manufacturer and…
Valve’s Headquarters are as Exciting as its Games
When a game developer hits the big leagues, there’s one thing that’s sure to happen – an office makeover. Some hard-ass developers might keep things traditional, but a company like Valve, which obviously has a good sense of humor and taste, it can make an office look cooler and more comfortable than a house. The folks over at…
Microsoft to Kill “Windows Live” and “Zune” Branding with Windows 8
It appears that Microsoft is planning on making some branding changes in Windows 8 to help simplify things. According to The Verge, the “Windows Live” moniker that prefaced a lot of applications within Windows will be replaced with… nothing at all. Windows Live Contacts will become “People”, Windows Live Calendar will…
Terraria Evil Dimension Feature: Developer Quits
Yesterday, Andrew Spinks (aka Redigit) announced his decision to stop the development of Terraria and concentrate his efforts on his family and his unborn son. The decision has caught his user base completely by surprise and chimed like an impossibly loud note on an impossibly large drum.
