Sony Rumored to Offer Premium PSN Service in Months Ahead
In today’s console war (wait, there’s still a console war?), one of the biggest arguments PlayStation fans make against the Xbox is that the latter charges a monthly (or yearly) fee to access its online service – or to be more specific, play online with friends. Given that this is fact, it’s hard to argue with. Both services offer pretty well the same overall…
BFG Tech to Cease Production of its Graphics Cards
Well, this news is a little bit upsetting. The folks at [H]ard|OCP have obtained a press release from BFG Tech that states its going to be ceasing production of its graphics cards… but, will still continue to deliver and develop both its power supplies, gaming desktops and notebooks. As the company has become very well-known for its excellent…
Are Previews Even Worth Reading?
When you’re excited for any sort of product, whether it be a game, piece of software, or heck, even something like a car, do you fervently read previews as if they’re going out of style? Chances are you do, not because it’s common (though I’m sure it is), but because it’s informative and can give you a helpful heads-up long before that product’s launch…
Apple’s iPad Not Affecting Mac Sales, But iPods See Decline
When Apple first launched the iPad, there was mass speculation as to what was going to happen to sales of its desktops and notebooks, but as recent reports show, the company’s sales continue to roll along just fine. Sales of the desktop Macs and MacBook’s haven’t seen a drop, but rather an increase, and according to analyst…
Seagate Confirms 3TB Hard Drives in 2010, But With a Few Catches
Last week, we posted about a rumor that 3TB hard drives could be en route for delivery in 2010, and it took no time at all for one company to step up to the plate and verify it: Seagate. In talking to UK tech site THINQ, Seagate’s Senior Product Manager, Barbara Craig, admitted that it would be “announcing a 3TB drive later this year“, which for…
AMD’s First Fusion Processors to be Launched in 2010?
At the beginning of the year, Intel launched its Clarkdale and Arrandale processors, built on the Westmere micro-architecture. A couple of things made these special. One of the more important aspects was that the chip was built on a 32nm process. But secondly, and probably more interesting is that under the one hood, there laid both a CPU…
Trouble Sleeping? Your Gadgets Could be to Blame
Are you able to remember the last time you had a truly good night’s sleep, and woke up feeling refreshed and renewed? If it’s been so long that you can’t even remember, it could be that you fall asleep with a bright gadget in your face. At least, that’s J.D. Moyer’s theory, which he came to strongly believe after trying a few experiments that effectively tricked…
Western Digital Prepped to Surpass Seagate HD Shipments in 2010
For the past couple of years, Seagate, thanks in part to its success in the desktop PC market, has held its ground well ahead of Western Digital. If trends seen over the past year continue into 2010, though, it will soon be WD well ahead of Seagate, and the reason is just the opposite… WD does well in the mobile market, which continues to…
Portal for Mac Compared to PC Version
Earlier this week, Valve ended the long-standing drought of game titles available for the Mac by introducing a native Steam client for the OS, along with 56 different games. The company promises to release a slew of new titles each Wednesday for the next few, so it will be interesting to see just how fast this list will grow. Arguably, the most…
Adobe Begins Ad Campaign Against Apple’s Locked-Down Platforms
It was only a matter of time. Adobe, along with its new-found stance against Apple’s policies, has created a new ad campaign to shine some light on how the maker of the popular iPhone and iPad is thwarting choice. The ads appear on select websites and also as full-page ads in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. The point…
Download The Hurt Locker? You Could be Sued
Many pirates who download movies, music, or really any form of copyrighted material understand the risks of doing so, but rarely believe that there is any chance the hammer could fall on them. After all, organizations such as the RIAA have sued thousands, but that’s a drop in the bucket compared to the millions who pirate materials on a…
AMD Refreshes Vision Line-up, Introduces Mobile Phenom II’s
It’s no secret that many people who purchase PCs, whether they be desktops or notebooks, are not as well-versed in the technology as they could be. You wouldn’t likely go and purchase a car on a whim if you knew nothing about cars. Rather, you’d get a car guru friend who can help you out. For me, I don’t find PCs to be that different, yet many…
Mac Gamers Rejoice: Steam for Mac Released
Today is the day that Valve finally takes the curtain off of its Mac Steam client, and apparently the company had no intention of launching it without a good deal of games to support it. Unfortunately, out all the games available, the only one from Valve itself is Portal, but we can expect that to change in the weeks and months to come, I’m sure…
AMD Quells Phenom X4 960T Release Rumors
For about the past month, AMD’s rumored Phenom X4 960T chip has been floating around the Web with pictures, some benchmarks, and even results of core unlocking (that is, to turn the quad-core into a six-core). Along with AMD’s launch of new Athlon II models yesterday, many were expecting to see at least mention of the X4 960T, but…
Counter-Strike: Source Soon to See Big Update
Among all game developers, Valve is special in many different ways. One of the most noteworthy is the fact that the company readily supports its current games in order to prolong their lives, most often for free. Take Team Fortress 2, for example, and Left 4 Dead, or even the older Day of Defeat: Source (which saw multiple large updates in its…
The Not So Humble Bundle of Pirates
The Humble Indie Bundle has been making its way around the net over the last week, allowing people to set their own price for a set of 5 top-rated Indie games with some or all of the proceeds going to charity – the amount of which you can decide. There is no DRM, no middleman, it’s multi-platform (Mac, Linux and PC compatible) and…
3TB Hard Drives to be Released in 2010?
With all of the talk surrounding solid-state disks today, it’s easy to overlook the technological advances made with mechanical storage. One such example is the beefed-up and super-fast VelociRaptor 600GB, which features a SATA 3.0 interface and speeds that are 15% faster over the previous gen. And all the while, even mobile…
AMD Adds 6 Athlon II Models to its Line-up
If there’s one thing AMD cannot be accused of, it’s being slow to update its product line-ups. Today, an announcement only reaffirms that fact, as some models are being bumped down in the ranks, and others brought in. Of these, all are Athlon II’s, so unfortunately, we’re still going to have to wait to learn more about the Turbo CORE…
The Future is Parallel, But that Future is a Long Way Off
During an interview with Forbes last week, NVIDIA’s Chief Scientist, Bill Dally, stated that Moore’s Law’s time is running out, and now is a good time to start thinking in parallel. Of course, such a statement is bold, but not surprising coming from NVIDIA, as parallel processing is where its hardware excels, which is proven by any of the CUDA-based…
Things Apple Can Do to Come Off as Being Less Evil
When I was young, I obsessed about anything related to Apple. I read Mac Addict religiously, and couldn’t get enough information about Apple’s hardware and software. At that time, when I was about 12-years-old, our family didn’t even own a Mac, but even so, I was excited about a lot of what the company offered. Apple was different… not just…
Microsoft Aims to Simplify Troubleshooting with Fix it
Last month, I published an article called “10 Things Linux Does Better than Windows” which took a look at just what the title suggests. Number five on the list was “troubleshooting”, and I based that choice off of the numerous headaches I’ve experienced in the past when trying to fix an OS-specific issue within Windows. All…
15 Interesting and Unique USB Hard Drives
Not too long after flash-based USB thumb drives first hit the market, they became as synonymous with computing as a computer mouse. Well, almost. Prices were high at first, but plummeted fast, and we’re now at a point where a 16GB model can be had for a meager $40. They’re popular for not only that reason, but because they’re small…
Do We All Want Longer and More Difficult Games?
Which would you rather, playing a game that was developed in the year 2000, or 2010? I think most would say the latter, and for obvious reasons. In the year 2000, our 3D graphics were rather primitive compared to what we see today (even so, our minds were blown back then), so as long as the gameplay lives up, then why not opt for…
Turning Your SIM Card into a MicroSIM Card
When Apple’s iPad first hit the streets, the company proved that it was forward-thinking enough to adopt the use of MicroSIM cards in lieu of the standard SIM cards we’ve been used to for years. But a problem with that potentially arises. What if you don’t have a MicroSIM card, and don’t have the ability to replace your regular SIM card with one…
OCZ Introduces Enyo Portable USB 3.0 SSD
At this year’s CES this past January, there was a lot of talk about USB 3.0, and it was no surprise. Just a couple of months prior, the interface was unleashed to the public, and those who owned capable motherboards/add-in cards were craving for the chance to purchase a capable product. One such product that caught my eye was found in…
