With the popularity of mobile computing growing at a rapid pace, the threat of malware hitting our phones becomes a bigger risk every single day.

CoolIT to Discontinue Producing Consumer Products
At a press event held earlier this week, Corsair announced the Hydro Series H60 liquid CPU cooler, and though it had released the H50 and H70 prior, this was the most interesting. Why? It had been developed in conjunction with CoolIT Systems, a company based in Canada. We’ve reviewed many of CoolIT’s products in the past, and it’s…
PC Gamers Crush Console Gamers in BF2: Vietnam Competition
If there’s a debate I love to get involved in, it’s the PC vs. Console FPS gamers one. As a devout PC gamer, I’ve come to prefer a mouse + keyboard configuration much more than the gamepad solution that console gamers have become accustomed. I’ve tried to get used to a gamepad, but I can’t. Because of it, I never beat most FPS…

Using Google DNS Can Slow iTunes Downloads
Utilizing a reliable DNS (domain name server) is important, because it can result in either great speeds on the Internet, or speeds that bring us back to the modem age. For this reason, a lot of people decide to opt out of the DNS their ISP offers, and instead adopt the one that Google provides for free, or OpenDNS (which I used to use…

Sloppy Math CPU to Save Video Encoding?
Maths, easy for some, hard for others. For CPUs, it’s their bread and butter, what they are meant to do and how they earn their living… if they were alive of course. But sometimes, you don’t need to calculate the square root of 2,376,147 to within 3 million decimal places. Sometimes you don’t even need the number to be accurate…
House of Marley Audio Products Help Fulfill Bob Marley’s Beliefs
A couple of CESes ago, Monster released audio products with Dr. Dre’s name attached to them, and at that time, I began to wonder if this is a trend we’d begin to see.

Nintendo Warns of 3DS Use for Children Under 6
As evidenced throughout 2010, “3D” is a rather big thing. Countless Hollywood productions featured 3D versions, and the same can be said for PC and console games.

Technology – Then and Now
Computers are found in more homes and businesses than ever before and have become such a large part of daily life that they are often forgotten about until they become unavailable.

2010- Most Pirated Games
We all know it happens and some of us are even guilty of it, but have you ever wondered just how many times a game is illegally downloaded? 2010 wraps up with Black Ops (PC) leading the way followed by Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) and Dante’s Inferno (XBox 360) as the front runners for each platform, according to information gathered…
Ubisoft Throttles Back Internet-required DRM
Assassin’s Creed II, released last spring, was greeted to rave reviews. It improved upon the original in important ways, delivered fun and exhilarating gameplay, and had graphics and sound to back all of it up.

Bugged Game? Get a Refund!
Bugs and glitches in video games are nothing new, but lately it seems as if more and more games are being released without the proper amount of quality assurance.
