Reason Behind Apple Sticking with C2D in 13″ MacBook Pro
Apple last week updated its MacBook Pro line-up, and for the most part, there were few complaints. The overall feature-set didn’t change too much, but components were upgraded, and overall the latest models are faster than the previous, which is to be expected. But one feature that did strike some people as odd was that the 13″ model…
Looking Back at 30 Years of Nudity in Gaming
In film and even television in some cases, nudity is becoming less of a rarity, and when it appears, it’s hard to not notice it. In gaming, however, nudity hasn’t exactly been all too common, and the only game I can recall playing that’s had any sort of it was Duke Nukem 3D. Even that was rather mild in the grand scheme (a 3 pixel nipple isn’t exactly…
iPhone 4G Discovered and Analyzed
Rumors have been rampant for quite a while with regards to the iPhone 4G, and it’s no surprise that many people want to know what’s new, what’s upgraded and how the design will differ. Well, if a prototype model that Gizmodo found itself with is close to the final build, a lot of these questions may have been answered, and yes, if you’re an…
Twitter Unveils Money-Making Scheme: Promoted Tweets
As you might imagine, running a website, especially a large one, is not an inexpensive endeavor. The folks in charge need to worry not only about the actual servers, but things like bandwidth, design work, et cetera. For sites like Twitter, which are mind-blowingly popular, the fact that it’s chugged along ad-free up to this point is quite a feat…
ASUS 3×3 OC Summit a Big Success
This past weekend, ASUS held its first-ever overclocking event as part of the “ROG Experience Tour” (Republic of Gamers), with this particular event also using the secondary title of “3×3 OC Summit”. The 3×3 is in reference to the company’s most recent high-end Intel motherboards, the Rampage III Extreme (LGA1366) and Maximus III…
AMD to Launch “Turbo Core” Mode with Six-Core Processors
With Intel’s launch of the original Core i7, codenamed “Nehalem“, it introduced a feature to improve the top-end performance of the CPU’s beyond their referenced clock speeds. Called Turbo, if a CPU is pushed hard, the CPU can automatically increase the frequency of one or more cores in order to deliver better overall performance. Though Intel doesn’t…
Adobe vs. Apple War Heats Up
It’s been obvious for a while that Steve Jobs isn’t a fan of Adobe or its problem-ridden Flash platform, but the situation was highlighted even further with the launch of the iPad two weekends ago. Apple said that the device wouldn’t include Flash support… not now, and not ever, and its excuse came down to battery-life. Many people refuse to believe…
Could the iPad Replace a PC for a Businessperson?
Apple has never claimed that the iPad could replace a notebook or desktop computer, but there’s no harm in considering the actual possibility, right? As a whole, the iPad is a rather robust little machine, but with its lacking multi-tasking ability, and overall simple design, could it even possibly have the hope of becoming a one-stop device for a regular…
Promising CPU Benchmark: Geekbench 2
It’s not too unusual for us to receive e-mails from companies which would like to see us begin using their respective benchmarks in our articles, but a recent request caught my eye. A Canadian company by the name of Primate Labs has released a CPU-specific benchmark called Geekbench, and judging from the screenshots on the site, and…
10 Reasons Linux Bests Windows!
Once again, an image of Tux graces our content section, with the help of our latest article that tackles ten things that Linux does a lot better than Windows. This article isn’t only for those who use Linux, because chances are good that a lot of users of the OS already understand where it excels. Arguably, I think the read could be even more interesting…
Apple Introduces Mobile Ads with iPhone OS 4.0
At an event held by Apple today, the company unveiled what’s to come in the upcoming iPhone OS, version 4.0. Multi-tasking was one introduced feature that took almost no one by surprise, but another that’s causing quite a stir all over is the introduction of Apple’s mobile advertising platform… “iAd“. Simply put, the platform will allow developers the…
NVIDIA Lists Chassis Recommendations for GTX 480 Use
“What? MORE whining about GTX 480 issues?!” … Hey now, cut me some slack. I just post what’s relevant! Sure, since I’ve posted our in-depth look at NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 480, I feel like I’ve beaten the dead horse far too many times since. Yes, the GTX 480 has some issues, and yes, it makes the purchasing decision more difficult. I received…
Future Blu-ray Format Announced: BDXL
If you think that the Blu-ray standard represents exquisite film quality and mass optical storage, you might want to think again, as the “sequel” of sorts is en route. It comes in the form of “BDXL” (must’ve taken minutes to come up with that one), which essentially doubles the number of layers on a BD-ROM. Current BD-ROM’s top-out at 50GB…
Western Digital Releases First SATA 3.0 VelociRaptor HDDs
While the rest of the world is glued to the latest and greatest SSD reviews, there are certainly a great many enthusiasts resisting the urge to splurge. With low densities and high prices, SSD technology is just not in a place that makes people comfortable with parting with their hard earned cash. Magnetic storage is still not only viable, but it is…
Should or Shouldn’t You Purchase an iPad?
With many notable tech product launches, there usually seems to be some general consensus as to whether or not the product is worth it, or useful. With the iPad, opinions are all over the place, and it seems to be that while many people find it unbelievably cool, many others find it to be pointless. Like most things, the usefulness of the iPad…
Mozilla Releases First Analyst Report; Firefox Sits at 30% Usage
Just over a month ago, I posted a news story that spoke about reports that claimed that Mozilla’s Firefox Web browser might not hit the 25% market share it obviously seeks, which had to do with some trending declines. But in a report released by Mozilla itself last week, it becomes clear that it’s not wise to only believe a single source, but…
Apple’s iPad Launches to Positive Reception
It’s hard to believe that a full two months have passed since the iPad’s announcement, but it’s true. After that short stint of waiting, Apple launched the device over the weekend to much demand and zeal from fans and consumers all over. So much so, that it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find something to complain about, despite the…
NVIDIA Defends GTX 480’s Heat & Power Consumption
A little over a week ago, NVIDIA finally took the veil off of its first GF100-based graphics cards, which came in the form of the GeForce GTX 470 and GTX 480. As we quickly found out, whether or not the cards were worth the wait depended on your point-of-view, but as it seemed, the majority of people (based on comments around the Web) were hoping for…
Don’t Miss Our Intel Gulftown Gaming PC Contest!
Lately, it feels like we’ve been blessed by the hardware Gods, because we’ve been running contests continually since January, and who knows… there might just be more en route. We just finished our birthday contest last week, and now we’re able to offer up yet another sweet gaming PC thanks to our friends at both Intel and iBUYPOWER. As…
OCZ Vertex Found for a Great Price
During our last solid-state drive review we observed that the 120GB OCZ Vertex drives were selling for $289 after rebate, which works out to be $2.41 per GB. For an all-around solid performance drive that is capable of both respectable sequential writes and random small file operations, we awarded the Vertex Turbo our rare Editor’s Choice award.
Stop Wine-ing: 15 Games for Linux
Do you think that Linux lacks some good games? If so, you’re wrong! To be fair, Linux does miss most of the top commercial games on the market (not quite the fault of Linux itself, though), but aside from those, the selection seems to be limitless. Even indie developers are getting in on the Linux action, not by releasing a game that…
Don’t Miss Our GeForce GTX 480 Review!
In case it isn’t obvious enough at the top of our site, I wanted to draw your attention to our in-depth look at NVIDIA’s latest and greatest, which we posted yesterday. I think it’s safe to say that most people are going to be relieved that the first cards are finally here, but likewise, I’m sure there are going to be many who were hoping for a bit more as well.
Sony to Remove “Install Other OS” Option on PS3
Well, it looks like it’s time to add yet another entry onto the pile of how companies hurt legit consumers just to strike back at hackers. You might recall that back in January, we reported that self-proclaimed PS3 hacker, George Hotz, circumvented certain securities on the console and released a patch for people to take things just a bit further.
FRAPS 3.2 Introduces Buffered Video Recording
Have you ever had FRAPS running while playing a game, and couldn’t hit your video record hotkey fast enough to capture something amazing that just happened? That can be frustrating, to say the least, but beepa, developer of the popular screenshot and benchmarking tool, has released a new version that aims to prevent this kind…
Are Consoles Killing PC Gaming?
Ahh, the age-old argument that never seems to die: Consoles vs. PC. You might imagine that because I get to test out the best PC gaming hardware on the market, I’d prefer gaming on that platform, but that’s something that varies. I prefer FPS titles on the PC by far, but enjoy racing games on consoles, as an example. Both platforms…
