Timing of Windows 8 Launch Expected to Slow Intel’s Sales During 2012
Intel might sell the hardware for Microsoft’s software, but it’s the latter company’s schedule that can have a greater impact on the former’s revenue. Intel’s products tend to fly off the shelves whenever a new Windows OS is released, because it’s the time when a lot of people have it in their minds to upgrade or purchase brand-new…

HMV Admits to Underestimating Potential in the Internet
It has been proven time and time again that just because a company is hugely successful, it doesn’t mean that the best decisions are being made all the time. Take HMV, for example, which is discovering this itself. Over the past week, the company mulled over the decline in sales it saw throughout the holiday season, and admitted…
Time is Running Out Fast to Speak Out Against SOPA
We haven’t talked about SOPA in our news section before, and that fault is to be corrected here. As a Canadian who inherently doesn’t care about politics, I ignored SOPA and its repercussions for the most part until recently. I didn’t expect it to have a chance of passing, but as time nears closer to a House vote, the reality of it being passed…
Solitaire Deluxe – The Ultimate App for Android and iOS Solitaire Fans
I’m not what you would consider a mobile gaming “fan”, but every so often I’ll find a title that strikes me and I end up spending way too much time with it. Generally speaking, games I tend to avoid are action-related, as the control just never sits well with me. Games that do grab me are usually simpler in design, such as…
Lamptron Warns of Counterfeit Products
Stories about the sale of counterfeit products are a dime a dozen, but it’s not often that we have of one involving traditional PC components.

Razer Shows Off ‘Project Fiona’ PC Gaming Tablet
In the last couple of years, Razer has proven that it wants to think outside the box. It’s fine and good to continue making better mice and keyboards, but the company sees a lot more potential beyond that. Take its Hydra motion sensing controller, for example, or the Blade notebook. Next up on the concept bench? The Project Fiona…

Intel Demos DX11 Support on Ivy Bridge Ultrabook
During an Intel press conference held earlier this week at CES, something embarassing happened. And I do meanembarassing. While attempting to show off a DirectX 11 demo on an upcoming Ivy Bridge processor, Intel executive Mooly Eden attempted to show F1 2011 in action on the projection screen. In during so, someone…
Kingston Announces Red HyperX Modules & Wi-Drive Updates
Kingston didn’t have a lot to show off at CES, but there are a couple of notable additions to its line-up to talk about.

These modules are not…

Nokia Unveils Lumia 900 at CES
This past October, Nokia unveiled what it touted as being the first “real Windows Phone”, the Lumia series, featuring Windows Phone Mango. At the time, an unfortunate fact was that the top-end model, the Lumia 800, wasn’t to be made available in North America. But a fix for that takes little more than a couple of months and a…

There are sure to be many interesting products unveiled at CES this week, although things do seem to be starting off slow. The first product to catch my eye isn’t ground-breaking in any real way, but it brings enough to the table to warrant a look. It’s the WNDR4700 from NETGEAR, the follow-up to the WNDR4500 media storage router.
Logitech Announces ‘Cube’ Mouse & Presentation Device
It’s been proven time and time again that a computer mouse doesn’t have to look like a computer mouse – as long as it’s functional. But the best-ever example of this might come from Logitech with it’s just-announced “Cube”. The mouse, which is certain to be shown off at CES next week, features a rectangle design with curved…

SPEC Seeks Applications and Workloads for Upcoming Benchmark
This is a quick news post, but one I’m making just in case anyone out there can help. Our good friends at SPEC are on the lookout for another company (or companies) to contribute to an upcoming workstation benchmark (likely SPECviewperf), and are in need of a workload that won’t require a license to the entire application that…
Retrode 2 Allows You to Play SNES & Genesis Games on Your PC
I’ve written about many cool gadgets, pieces of PC hardware and technology in general over the course of this site’s existence, but what I’m about to talk about might just be one of the coolest of them all – at least for old-school console gamers. The product is called Retrode, a small dock that plugs into an available USB dock…
Clementine Music Player Reaches 1.0; Adds DI.fm & Spotify Support
Clementine is the best audio player on the planet (according to me), but since I don’t think I’ve ever talked about it on the site before, I can’t think of a better time to do so than right now as version 1.0 just got released. Based on Amarok 1.4, Clementine was born after Amarok 2.0 came out and turned many people away. It retains…

Microsoft Celebrates IE6 Dipping Below 1% Usage in US
As odd as it might seem, no one has been as anxious to see the demise of Internet Explorer 6 than Microsoft itself. Last March, the company launched a webpage called Internet Explorer 6 Countdown that monitors the decline of IE6 usage. Microsoft’s goal was to see usage dip below 1% worldwide, but at a current 7.7%, we still have…
ASUS to Release Boot-Loader Unlocking Tool for Transformer Prime
The much-hyped ASUS Eee Transformer Prime might have launched later than originally planned, but it’s now finding itself in the hands of consumers all over and the response has for the most part been good. That said, there have been some notable issues that prove that tablets are a tough thing to get right – at least right out of…
Apple & Google Dominate Smartphone Market During 2011
We’ve been talking about smartphone trends quite a bit lately, but with 2011 behind us, there’s no better time to take a look at the overall growth (or losses) experienced by some companies through the year. It’s of little surprise that both Apple and Google dominated the share, but it comes at the expense of RIM and Microsoft.
