Not Enough of a Geek? Listen to the Linux Kernel!
People who use and understand Linux to a great degree could be considered “geeks”, but if that’s the case, what would you call someone who listens to the Linux kernel source code? Yes, I said listens. It’d be one thing to readthrough it, but thanks to Frederic Cambus, the ability to sit back and listen to the Linux source code is a…
Which Shipping Company is the Most Careful with Your Packages?
As a tech journalist, I receive many packages to my door each week, and over the past five-and-a-half years thatTechgage has existed, I’ve seen a fair number of solid deliveries and also total wrecks. There are a number of shipping companies I’ll receive packages from, including FedEX, UPS, DHL, among others, and more often than…
OnLive to Provide Movie Streaming?
OnLive, the Internet based game streaming startup, is already looking into the prospect of expanding its horizons into the world of movie streaming. With the backbone to support game streaming services to multiple users, why not put it to more use via movie streaming like Netflix? OnLive already provides movie streaming of a basic sort…
Internet Explorer 9 to Ship with Anti-Tracking Feature
Internet Explorer 9 is set to bring a lot to the table in terms of new functionality, better Web standards support, faster performance and improved security, and it’s Microsoft’s hope that it will help put IE back on the map for those who have gone over to the alternatives. One feature just announced might do that, at least for those who care a lot about…

Whether you like it or not, it looks like the future of computing is going to be in the cloud. There are multiple companies that believe this, but most eyes are turned towards Google, as its Chrome OS looks to have the most potential. Why?

AMD Releases Three New Processors
To round out what I like to call the “Day of Embargoes”, AMD has released three new processor models to help keep things interesting through to 2011. Of these, the company has replaced the Phenom X6 1090T as the flagship product with the X6 1100T. The differences in speed is minor (3.3GHz vs. 3.2GHz), but its pricing is more attractive…
NVIDIA Launches GeForce GTX 570
It’s been about a month since NVIDIA launched its flagship GeForce GTX 580, so what better time than a couple of weeks before the holidays begin to release a follow-up, the GTX 570? According to NVIDIA, this card is more power-efficient, features a faster architecture, and should be on average about 25% faster than a GTX 470.
Don’t Miss Our Look at 3DMark 11!
In case it’s not obvious enough at the top of the page, Futuremark earlier today released the latest iteration of its most popular benchmark, 3DMark 11. Appropriate for more than just the fact that 2011 is less than a month away, the latest version takes full advantage of DirectX 11, which of course means there is heavy use of tessellation and…
Want Avatar’s Blu-ray 3D Version? Prepare to Pay
To call last winter’s Avatar a hit would be a gross understatement. The film, which cost about $240 million to produce, raked in a total of ~$2.8 billion in gross revenue… more than 10x. I haven’t seen the movie, nor plan to, but I’ve heard a countless number of opinions from many people, and it’s certainly a mixed bag. But one thing’s for…
PlayStation Phone Looks to be Real
The prospective “PlayStation Phone” has been a popular topic in recent months, but thanks to a couple of videos released over the past weekend, the “rumor” tag can rightfully turned into “fact”. I’m not sure of the source of these videos, as they were uploaded to YouTube under a moniker, but that’s not what matters… what does, is that this…
Level 3 vs. Comcast Tale Gets Even More Interesting
We reported yesterday that Internet backbone company Level 3 brought a dispute with Comcast public, claiming that the company was going against net neutrality principles by charging Level 3 extra for video streaming traffic. Since then, Comcast has spoken up about the situation, while Level 3 seems to have toned itself down.
Comcast Target of Net Neutrality Accusation
If Internet content provider Level 3 is to be believed, Comcast, the largest Internet/Cable provider in the US, might be in the midst of a real net neutrality test. According to Level 3, which delivers a lot of the Internet’s content toComcast subscribers, Comcast has demanded a deal be settled where it would have to pay additional fees for…
Angry Birds Coming to Consoles Next Year
Ask anyone who games on their mobile phone what titles they play, or wish they could play, and chances are good that Angry Birds is going to be mentioned. I have three iPhone-equipped friends who can’t get enough of this game, and I admit I’ve sunk a good couple of hours into it as well. Similar to Worms, it requires some hard thinking to…

Super Talent Touts 370MB/s on USB 3.0 RAIDDrive
Launched last fall, the USB 3.0 standard has proven to be a godsend for those who use external storage devices on a regular basis, as compared to 2.0, there’s just no competition. You might be lucky to see 30MB/s speeds with 2.0, for example, while 3.0 blows the doors wide open to deliver speeds of 300MB/s or higher.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Breaks Sales Records
Prior to the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops earlier this month, it was anticipated that the game could break records – not only those set by previous releases in the series, but records across all publishers and platforms. A mere week after its launch, it was clear that the game would be enjoying mass success, with a staggering $650…
Direct2Drive Offers Gamers a 20% Chance to Win their Purchase
In the world of digital game sales, Valve’s Steam platform is undeniably the current champion, and for most people I know, it’s the first choice for their purchases. But, there exist other services that have been around almost just as long – Direct2Drive being one of them. No doubt feeling the heat of current Steam sales, the service is offering…
Should Microsoft Ban Gamers for Using Offensive Emblems on Xbox Live?
To remain an active member of Xbox Live, you must adhere to the ground rules laid out by Microsoft. One of the more important ones concerns being respectful to other members, and if you are equipping your avatar with offensive emblems, such as a swastika, you might not only find yourself booted off of the game you’re playing, but…
Intel CPU Architecture ‘Could Scale to 1,000 Cores’
Ten years ago, the thought of a dual-core CPU didn’t quite compute (pun intended) in our minds, because such products simply didn’t exist. But today, multi-core processors are common in even the simplest of mobile devices, and on our desktops, some are lucky enough to have six cores at their disposal. For the most part…
Novell’s Acquired – What’s the Future Hold?
This past Monday, one of the oldest software companies in existence was acquired by Attachmate, a company owned by an investment group consisting of Francisco Partners, Golden Gate Capital and Thoma Cressey Bravo. Despite the investor names, the company is not based in California, but rather Seattle, Washington. What other big…
What 90’s FPS Titles Would You Like to See Remade?
PC gaming during the 90s was great. Games might not have had the graphics we see today, but most of them had heart and were great fun to play. On the FPS side of things, there were many instant-classic titles that PC gamers from that era have fond memories of, and many of today’s gamers might not even be aware of most of them.
Viacom Adds Itself to List of Publishers to Block Google TV
Google TV, launched last month, was created to become the ultimate solution for TV viewing in the digital home. Google isn’t the type of company to take any one of its products lightly, so it was of little surprise to see other large companies backing up the platform, including Logitech with its Revue set-top box, and Sony with four different…
Fusion-io Breaks 1 Million IOPS with ioDrive Octal
For as long as there has been PCI Express-based solid-state drives, there has been Fusion-io. The company first emerged a couple of years ago to a huge amount of uncertainty. It was delivering a product no one was sure of, but it didn’t take long before others, including OCZ Technology on the enthusiast side, took the same plunge and…
Microsoft Supportive of Open-Source Kinect Projects?
Not long after the launch of Microsoft’s Kinect motion-sensing peripheral for the Xbox 360, some creative hardware hackers got down to business and had the device function with a PC. The progress there is still in the earliest of stages, but the potential is huge. Given the major advantages the Kinect has over a regular webcam, there are…
Would You Go to a Concert to Watch a Hologram?
Have you ever seen a piece of cool piece of tech that seemed to serve no real purpose? Here’s one example of something I think fits the bill… a hologram concert. No, it’s not music being presented in Klingon, but rather something that Japan – no surprise – is leading the trail on. There’s been a couple of videos floating around the…
