Diskeeper 11 Released; Introduces ‘Instant Defrag’ and ‘Efficient Mode’
Solid-state storage may dominate the headlines more often than most HDD vendors would like, and TRIM may have negated the need for a proper defrag, but Diskeeper, with its “11” version, reminds us that our lowly mechanical drives are still prone to slowdown over time, whether at home, or in the enterprise. And, for all intents…
NVIDIA Launches its Dual-GPU GeForce GTX 590
It seems that the rumor we posted about last week came true… kind of. While the rumor stated that NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 590 would launch on Tuesday, the company instead released it today. While seemingly minor, the choice of Thursday is actually rather interesting, as both AMD and NVIDIA tend to choose Tuesdays for most of…
Is Intel Giving up on Itanium? It’s Doubtful
On Tuesday, Oracle issued a press release in which it announced the end of its support for Intel’s enterprise-level Itanium processors. On the surface, an announcement like this from a company like Oracle is none-too-surprising, but going even further, the company stated the reason was due to Itanium “nearing the end of its…
Record Companies Sue Limewire for $75 Trillion
In what might be the most ridiculous demand for damages ever witnessed, various companies in the recording industry are mass-suing file-sharing service Limewire for a total of $75 trillion. Yes, trillion… as in 75 followed by 12 zeros. Does the entire world’s wealth added together even amount to $75 trillion? It’s hard to say, but it…
Mozilla’s Firefox 4 Greeted to Good Reception
After months of delays, Mozilla has finally released its Firefox 4 Web browser, and so far it has already accrued over 8 million downloads. Generally, if a product’s release date keeps getting pushed back, it makes it even harder for the end-result to live up to the hype. Is Firefox 4 an exception to this rule? It seems so.
Why You Should Purchase Lossless Audio
About a month ago, it was found out about that Apple has been working with music companies in order to deliver higher-quality audio on iTunes, but as far as I’m concerned, the direction both Apple and company seem to be going is the wrong one. While they consider 24-bit audio to be a good goal, most people who have at least a…

Upgrading the TG Lab: Corsair’s Force Solid-State Drives
On occasion, we post a news feature called “In the TG Lab”, and in it, we give a quick preview of a product that we’re soon to publish an in-depth look on.

Futuremark Announces PCMark 7
It’s been a little while since we’ve last seen a PCMark update, so it might have been assumed that Futuremark got caught up with its other products and had forgotten about it.

Cubitek Launches Magic Cube Modular Chassis
Taiwan-based Cubitek, an old player with a new name in the chassis market, has launched its Magic Cube.

NVIDIA to Release Dual-GPU GeForce GTX 590 Next Week?
According to the Taiwanese industry-tracking website DigiTimes, NVIDIA is set to launch its dual-GPU GeForceGTX 590 next Tuesday (March 22). If true, then the glory AMD has been enjoying for the past couple of weeks with its Radeon HD 6990, also a dual-GPU offering, might be short-lived. There are few reliable details out about the…
Rift Implements Innovative ‘Coin Lock’ Security Feature
It’s not too often that an MMO developer releases a new security measure that’s cool enough for me to think about two seconds after reading about it, but Rift developer Trion has made one of the rare exceptions. Unfortunately, not long after Rift’s public launch a couple of weeks ago, the game’s forums were being littered with people…
Ubisoft Caught Pirating Itself… Again
A couple of years ago, game developer/publisher Ubisoft was caught using BitTorrent to download a crack from one of its games, Tom Clancy’s: Rainbow 6 – Vegas 2, and released it as its own “fix”. Creative users dug deep, and discovered that this “fix” was in fact coded by a warez scene member, not Ubisoft itself. Since then, the…
Pepsi Introduces Bottle Developed from 100% Plant Material
Creating “green” products and materials that aren’t harmful to our environment is a great thing, and most often, when big companies jump on board, the reduced effects on the environment can be huge. Pepsi, with its introduction of a 100% plant bottle, though, might bring things to a new level. Just imagine… billions of…

ASUS recently announced that a number of its AM3 based motherboards will be able to support AMD’s upcoming AM3+ Bulldozer based processors via a BIOS update.

What Makes Your ‘Favorite’ Browser Your Favorite?
When Techgage first launched in early 2005, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer totally dominated our usage charts, with Mozilla’s Firefox in a somewhat distant second. A mere couple of years later, Firefox’s usage sky-rocketed and first matched, then surpassed, Internet Explorer usage. Currently, there are almost twice as…
NVIDIA Releases First ‘Budget’ GTX 500 Series Card: GeForce GTX 550 Ti
A couple of months ago, NVIDIA revived the ‘Titanium’ branding with its GeForce GTX 560 Ti, and it’s now clear that the company had no intentions of letting it die off again soon. The proof? The budget-focused GeForceGTX 550 Ti, a proper follow-up to the GTS 450 released this past September. At around ~$129, the GTX 550 Ti falls about…
iFixit Tears Down the iPad 2
It rarely takes the folks at iFixit long to tear down the latest Apple product, and the iPad 2 is of no exception. The tear-down guide was posted late last week, and a couple of interesting details were discovered. The most important one?

Do Some Video Games Push the Violence Bar too Far?
Are video games becoming too violent? It’s a question that the mainstream media loves to ask on a regular basis, with Bulletstorm most notably being in the hot seat recently. Personally, I don’t mind violence in video games, and nor do I believe that video games inspire people to kill in real-life. But despite all this, is there a point when video…
Who Needs Graphics? Play a Game in Your URL Bar!
I’m not going to jump the gun and call this one of the simplest games ever created, but it has to be right up there. Called URL Hunter, the entire game looks to be coded with the help of JavaScript and simple HTML, and takes place entirely in your address bar… as in, the bar where you normally type in what webpage you want to go to and…
Apple Dominates Tablet Sales During Q4 2010
About a year ago, Apple released its iPad ‘tablet’ to the world, and in doing so started a chain reaction. At first, many were skeptical to believe that tablets could hold a real market, but it didn’t take long before it was proven that yes, many people do want tablets. Not long after the iPad’s launch, companies like Samsung, Motorola and…
