AMD Reveals Thief as First Title to Support TrueAudio, Teases Mantle Perf Enhancements
Since the announcement of both Mantle and TrueAudio alongside AMD’s Volcanic Islands GPUs last fall, we’ve heard a fair bit about the former, but almost nothing about the latter. That changes today, however, with AMD’s announcement that Eidos Montreal’s Thief becomes the first title to support TrueAudio, and for good measure, it…..
Google Bets Big(ger) on Wearable Computing, Unveils Android Wear OS
It’s been no secret that Google’s believed that wearable computing is something well-worth getting into – after all, its Google Glass was announced before the recent explosion of wearable devices.

Microsoft Surface 2 – Stepping It Up With LTE

Ergotech Freedom Quad 1-over-3 Desk Stand Review
A monitor stand might sound like a simple product, but if you happen to pick one up that’s built poorly, you’re going to quickly regret it.

Google Adds Cross-platform Multiplayer Support to its Play Game Services
It might seem a bit strange for a company like Google to be showing-off its wares at a Game Developers Conference, but lest we forget that the company currently runs one of the world’s biggest digital game stores: Play Store.

Original Everquest Turns 15, SOE Offers Some Fun Facts to Celebrate
On March 16, 1999, Sony Online Entertainment released an online RPG that was to take the gaming world by storm: Everquest. At the time, I didn’t have any pull to try out an MMO, but I do recall many stories at the time of just how engrossing, and addicting, it was. At…..
Shots Fired: Google Significantly Drops its Prices for Drive Cloud Storage
At $5-per-month for 100GB, Google has been offering some of the most competitive prices for cloud storage for a while (Dropbox is $10-per-month for 100GB), but in an attempt to stab its competition right in the gut, it’s gone ahead and trimmed its prices even further. How does $2-per-month for 100GB sound?…..
Amazon Prime Price Hike – Get It Before It Gets You!
Amazon, for those not in the know, offers a great service called “Prime”.

Prime also offers TV shows and movies that you can stream to…..
Windows Phone Licenses Free – To Some Phone Makers

Could Intel’s Merrifield be the First Android-bound SoC to Restrict OS Functions, Or Entire OSes?
Intel’s just-launched Merrifield-based Atom SoCs pack in a number of excellent enhancements and new features, but one that’s not being discussed much at all is the architecture’s ability to moderate OS functions – or, in the worst case, even restrict an entire OS. This information came to light earlier this week at…..
Fractal Design Unveils New Node 804 mATX Chassis at CeBIT
Fractal Design has launched its newest mATX chassis at CeBIT in Germany. Called the Node 804, it is designed with, as the company puts it, “cooling performance and maximum configurability” in mind.

Sony and Panasonic Team Up For 1TB “Archival Disc”
In July 2013, Panasonic and Sony announced a partnership to create a new type of archival storage, showing off a cartridge filled with 300GB optical discs, called “Archival Disc“. Settle-down those salivary glands – this format is being targeted squarely at corporations, at least right at the start. The single write 300GB…..

NZXT Enlists the Help of PCPartPicker to Offer Compatibility Checker on its Product Pages
For some builders, one of the most frustrating aspects of choosing components for a new PC is not knowing whether one part is compatible with another. After all, no e-tailer is going to care what’s in your shopping cart as long as it’s on their site, and it’s for this reason that…..
Thanks in Part to AMD’s Gaming Evolved Client, Raptr Now Sees 1.5 Million Sign-ups Each Month
Raptr’s sure been on the rise lately, and as a long-standing fan of the service, I’m glad to see it. If I were to query a group of gamers last summer and ask if they knew what Raptr was, chances are good that I wouldn’t get a great response back. Counter that…..
Mionix Avior 7000 and Naos 7000 Review – Same, But Different
Mionix sent us two of its latest mice, the Avior 7000 and the near-identically equipped Naos 7000. They share basically the same design and internal components; the biggest difference is in form factor. As you might imagine, we’re taking a close look at both to try to see how good they stack…..

In an open letter to fans, CD Projekt’s board clues us into the difficulty of choosing a release date for its upcoming The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and given the game’s scale, and not to mention the fact it will be the final Witcher game in this series, that shouldn’t come as…..

If there’s just one thing Tux the penguin hates being asked, it’s the tired question, “Can you run Crysis?” But, thanks to an announcement made by Crytek today, in advance of next week’s Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, the expected answer of “No” will become a “Yes” in the future –…..
Ergotech Announces ‘One-Touch’ Height-Adjustable Mount Series
Last summer, we wrote about Ergotech’s awesome ‘Sit Stand’ system which allows you to – as its name implies – sit or stand at your PC. A product like this serves an obvious need: A lot of us sit way too much, and no doctor will tell you that that’s good for…..
