The latest revision to Photoshop Lightroom, called CC (or 6), is a typical Adobe release.

The latest release is a definite improvement, but there’s…..
Dell Rolls Out Major Software Updates To DR Backup Appliances
Techgage hasn’t had much of an enterprise presence in its ten years of existence. Brett has penned some incredible editorials, at times extending a bit into the world of big business, but on the whole we have been devoid of stories, articles, and news from that side of the industry. As we’ve mentioned in…..

Microsoft Releases .NET Core Preview For Linux & OS X
When I wrote about the release of Microsoft’s free and open-source text editor, Visual Studio Code, yesterday, I couldn’t help but wonder what would happen next. We’re talking about Microsoft, of all companies, becoming more integrated into alternative operating systems. The company had a big presence at LinuxFest Northwest, which just happened…..
Microsoft Names Project Spartan ‘Microsoft Edge’, Releases Windows 10 Build 10074
During its mammoth set of opening presentations at Build, Microsoft finally gave us the answer to a question we’ve been asking for a while: “What’s the final name of Project Spartan going to be?” I kind of wanted it to remain “Spartan”, because it just sounds cool, but alas, that hasn’t happened. Instead, the…..
Microsoft Releases Four SDKs To Encourage Greater Developer Support For The Windows Store
A buzzword Microsoft loves to throw around in advance of the release of any new Windows version is “universal”. Windows on the desktop, the notebook, tablets, and of course, smartphones.

Kingston Replaces HyperX 3K SSD With Phison-Powered Savage SSDs
Kingston has taken the wraps off its new flagship HyperX Savage brand of SSDs powered by the Phison S 10 controller. The S10, (or PS3110), is a typical quad-core eight-channel NAND controller which gives it enough oomph to easily saturate the standard SATA 6Gb/s interface. Phison has become a staple name in…..
H2O and CO2 = Audi’s New Clean Synthetic Diesel
It’s no secret that the modern world is critically dependent on fossil fuels. Unfortunately, such dependence carries with it some severe penalties. Not only is the dwindling supply causing ever-increasing prices, but pollution is also a price to pay that perhaps not everyone thinks about. Well, straight from the “too good to…..
Grand Theft Auto V Review
GTA has taken us from a 2D top-down simulator to a 3D third-person shooter. We’ve been taken back to the 80’s in Vice City and brought back with GTA V. The series has always strived to be innovative, push the bounds of propriety, and focus on a singular theme. Does GTA V’s…..
Dirt Rally Hits Steam As Early Access Title – And It Looks Awesome
Well, this seemed to have come out of nowhere. Yesterday, Codemasters released a brand-new Dirt game on Steam called Dirt Rally, and for rally enthusiasts, there’s a lot to love. Currently, Rally is in early access, but even so, it offers a lot right out of the gate. We’re talking 3 locales…..
The Tables Have Turned: Valve’s Learning A Hard Lesson About Paid Mods
When Valve released an update to its Steamworks platform last week to enable paid mods, I’m not sure it realized what kind of backlash could result.

Following a couple of quick teases, Treyarch and Activision have released a reveal trailer for the next Call of Duty title, Black Ops III. As a fan of the original two Black Ops, this third iteration definitely has my interest piqued. Given the premise and what seems to be a copious amount…..
Acer’s Upcoming XR341CK Ultra-wide G-SYNC Monitor Is Drop-dead Gorgeous
When I took a look at ASUS’ ROG SWIFT PG278Q G-SYNC (holy capital letters, Batman!) monitor back in November, I mentioned that having had experienced NVIDIA’s G-SYNC technology, I couldn’t imagine not having it. Nearly six months later, my opinion on that hasn’t changed. However, I have been wondering lately if I’ve…..
Debian 8 ‘Jessie’ Released: The Road To systemd Is Complete
Following nearly two years of “constant development”, Debian 8 ‘Jessie’ hit the Web this past weekend.

COUGAR 600M – The Great Orange Gaming Mouse Review
Sometimes, simpler is better. Keeping the functionality limited so that you can concentrate on what works. There will always be a market for mid-range and budget peripherals, simply because they work and are inexpensive. So what if you want to keep things simple, but a little special, too? COUGAR’s mid-range 600 series…..
Valve Updates Steamworks Platform To Support Sales of Mods
One of the most compelling aspects of PC gaming is modding – altering a game to make it better, extend its gameplay, or change it entirely.

G.SKILL is no stranger to pushing the envelope when it comes to memory, and today, it once again impresses. While most of us couldn’t even take proper advantage of 32GB in our PC, much less the 64GB that Intel’s X99-based motherboards officially support, G.SKILL has upped the ante and now gives us…..
Onward With systemd: Ubuntu 15.04 ‘Vivid Vervet’ Released
Ubuntu and its derivatives have just released their 15.04 ‘Vivid Vervet’ versions today, and as the title of this post suggests, one of the biggest features is the move to systemd (I made a similar move a few weeks ago with Gentoo). systemd’s worth is sure to be debated for some time…..
Microsoft Promotes Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Gameplay Using 60 FPS PC Footage
The art of misleading advertising is highlighted with a trailer Microsoft posted of the upcoming The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for its Xbox One console. You see, while the game is already known to run at 720p on the console, and at 30 FPS, Microsoft’s trailer lets you view gameplay in 1080p…..

Microsoft has just rolled out a brand-new Windows 10 preview build – 10061 – to users who’ve set their update option to the “fast” ring.

John Deere’s Vehicles Farm Everything But Common Sense
Oh Deere, what the hell? It seems that the world’s largest maker of agricultural equipment believes that because software drives its machines, it’s the owner. You might have paid for it, but you better believe it: to John Deere, it’s simply “implied” that you have a “license” to use it for its…..
CyberPowerPC Debuts Trinity Gaming PCs Featuring DeepCool’s Tristellar Chassis
CyberPowerPC says that its new Trinity series of gaming PCs take on an “other-worldly form”, and I think I’d have to agree.
