We talked earlier this week about all that NVIDIA’s R337 GeForce driver for Windows brings to the table, but little did we realize at the time, the Linux R337 driver also got a fair amount of love. At the forefront, the driver adds support for NVIDIA’s latest mobile GPUs, and also takes…..

Heartbleed: Why You Should Pay Attention

Posted on April 10, 2014 8:30 AM by Rob Williams

When I caught a quick glance at a “Heartbleed” mention on Tuesday, all I thought was, “Oh great, another vulnerability”. Then, I brushed it off. Of course, now it’s well-known that it’s not just “another vulnerability”; it’s genuinely severe, and one that all server admins need to look into, and potentially deal…..

Gearbox Announces Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Due Out This Fall

Posted on April 9, 2014 4:36 PM by Rob Williams

A leak that hit the Web earlier this week has proven true: Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is in development. I’m not quite sure this could be considered “Borderlands 3″, because just last month, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford said that the company was not actively working on any Borderlands projects. Either he was fibbing, or…..

Posted on April 8, 2014 1:30 PM by Jamie Fletcher

Despite the time that 10Gbps networking has been around, so far it has failed to catch on in the consumer market, price being the major contributor. While the idea of paying $50 for a Thunderbolt cable will make many baulk, the truth of the matter is 10Gbps Ethernet makes that $50 look…..

Posted on April 8, 2014 9:30 AM by Jamie Fletcher

It’s been two years since the Raspberry Pi was first released. It started a little rough due to manufacturing delays, but has ultimately taken the world by storm. It would seem that a $25 computer had a market after all. As time has gone by, one question remained in the back of…..

Posted on April 8, 2014 4:15 AM by Techgage Staff

The end-of-support date for Windows XP has been no secret, and the build-up to it has been long. But with the date now upon us, we’re being hit with a big dose of nostalgia, thinking back to all that the OS has brought us. The best thing about nostalgia is sharing it,…..

NVIDIA’s GeForce Experience 2.0, R337 Driver Bring Major Improvements and Features

Posted on April 7, 2014 9:00 AM by Rob Williams

NVIDIA launched its GeForce Experience app last May, and at the time, I wasn’t too sure of what it’d become. From the get-go, it boasted the ability to optimize your games with ease, but past that, I am not sure I realized that NVIDIA would keep piling new features on. Fortunately, it…..

Posted on April 4, 2014 5:05 PM by Rob Williams

Posted on April 3, 2014 3:11 PM by Rob Williams

AMD is expected to soon take the veil off of its latest ultra high-end graphics card, the Radeon R9 295 X2, so it’s almost humorous that to preface that, the company has released the lowest-end offering of its current-gen lineup. The model is the Radeon R5 230, and based on its naming alone,…..

Cooler Master Intros QuickFire Rapid-I Mech Keyboard, Featuring ActivLite

Posted on April 3, 2014 11:00 AM by J.D. Kane

Techgage reviewed Cooler Master’s QuickFire Rapid mechanical keyboard more than two years ago, and it impressed us then. Apparently a solidly-built keyboard endowed with Cherry MX switches wasn’t enough for certain segments of the company’s customer base, since they demanded a plank with the same build quality and 10 key-less form factor…..

Posted on April 3, 2014 9:30 AM by Rob Williams

In 2010, I penned a post that talked about a popular scam that was rising in popularity around the UK, where someone would cold call a person and tell them that their PC had a bad virus. As it turns out, that scam would bleed through to the rest of the world; even…..

After Five Years, Canonical’s Cloud Storage Service is Dissipating

Posted on April 3, 2014 8:30 AM by Rob Williams

A couple of weeks ago, Google sent the prices for its cloud storage on a free fall. Its $5/mo for 100GB option suddenly became $2/mo, and the ultra-attractive 1TB tier became $10/mo. In our respective post, I said, “you’d imagine with this kind of rock-bottom pricing, the competition would have to react” –…..
