Finally, the day has come. Those of us who have tablets or smartphones that utilize MicroSD expansion, our dreams have been realized – enter the 128gb MicroSD card from SanDisk. For a very long time, the largest MicroSD card money could buy was a 64GB. Considering how small the things are, it…..

As expected, Samsung has taken advantage of the ongoing Mobile World Congress to announce its next flagship, the Galaxy S5. Also as expected, it boasts some impressive specs, and based on the series’ history, it could very-well become the next “ultimate” Android smartphone. The S5 will be a 5.1-inch device, equipped with…..

For many Deus Ex fans, myself included, the release of The Fall for iOS last summer stung quite a bit. This is a series, after all, that up to this point revolved around the PC as a platform, but here, fans who wanted to play what’s in effect a side-game to Human…..

During Intel’s CES keynote last month, the company announced that it would soon be making its McAfee mobile security software completely free to those who want it, highlighting just how serious it is about protecting our mobile lives. Well, it didn’t take too long for the company to live up to its…..

This kind of stuff makes me sick. In a world where you are purchasing bandwidth, there should never be any kind of limitation regarding content (as long as there is nothing illegal being done) from your ISP. Since we do not live in a perfect world, this is not the case. In…..

It’s often hard to get excited about a new $149 graphics card, but NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 750 Ti becomes one of the rare exceptions. For starters, it doesn’t require a power connector, and it has half the TDP requirement of its nearest competitor – all despite promised performance improvements. What more can…..

Use Raptr? Want to earn some free stuff? Own an AMD graphics card? Well, that last part doesn’t seem to matter, so listen-up. AMD has just set aside $5 million in prizes that can be earned through use of its Gaming Evolved application. Because the app is based around Raptr, anyone who…..

Mobile messengers are big business, a simple fact that should surprise no one. Just how big might, however. Via a Facebook post, company founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the acquisition of the popular cross-platform messenger app WhatsApp, one that currently enjoys a userbase of 450 million and is increasing at a…..

One thing that Samsung has certainly been missing when you compare it to its heaviest competition – Apple – is the extreme lack of brick and mortar stores. The South Korean tech giant has bold plans to change this however, with the addition of 1,400 US locations and an increased presence in…..

Intel might be taking its good ole time bringing an 8-core desktop processor to market, but it sure hasn’t been resting on its laurels where its server parts are concerned. This past fall, the Santa Clara company rolled-out its E5 v2 lineup, which followed-up to the E3 v2 parts released in 2012.…..

The past couple of months have been a little odd for the original GeForce GTX TITAN. With a price tag of $1,000, and the well-known fact that the $699 GTX 780 Ti released this past fall can match or beat it in most gaming benchmarks, it’s just been a hard sell. But…..

Getting excited about sub-$150 graphics cards is sometimes tough, I admit. I blame it on the fact that I deal with higher-end cards on a regular basis, an experience I’m sure a Ferrari driver can relate to when he has to relegate himself to a golf cart whilst shooting for that elusive…..

Since its inception, Futuremark has offered a great number of benchmarks, most of which have focused either on PC gaming or general PC performance. However, over the past couple of years, the company has branched-out a little bit, what with a Web browser benchmark (Peacekeeper), and even one to thoroughly test the…..

I have been very curious about Windows Phone, but the lack of apps has certainly slighted my opinion of the platform. I really like the interface, and Nokia being known as a company that produces top shelf quality stuff – but the app deficit is what keeps many away. This may be…..

Everyone knows that Google is not afraid to pour a copious amount of cash into its pet projects, but this one I will be personally rooting for, as I am sure all bandwidth-conscious net dwellers will be. Google is working on technology that will deliver data speeds upwards of 10Gbps, 10 times…..

Both AMD and NVIDIA are in the midst of launching new budget GPUs, but neither of them affect the position of the Radeon R7 260X – a great thing as I have Sapphire’s take on the model to tackle. With a boost of 50MHz to the core clock, and an improved cooler,…..

For anyone out there who has any interest in jailbreaking, or “hacking” their iOS devices, it is no secret that the Evad3rs team released a jailbreak for the current iOS 7.0.4 on all iOS devices some time ago. If you have been hesitant to pull that trigger, waiting on things to get…..

Back in December, I took a look at AMD’s rather impressive Radeon R7 260 – a card I touted as being a “console-killer”. In perusing some comments around the Web, people seemed to be pleased with what the card offered, but a lot said that a 7770 GHz Edition would be worth…..

On April 8, Microsoft will be pulling support for Windows XP. Fin… that’s it. No more extensions, and this time, Microsoft’s serious. For those still running XP, this will be a cause for concern, because the general consensus is that if Microsoft will ignore newly discovered bugs, then exploits and attacks could…..

The first of four DLC packs for Call of Duty: Ghosts was announced long ago, but as there was no PC release date mentioned, I couldn’t be bothered to talk too much about it. Well, things have changed, as Infinity Ward has announced that February 27th will be the day that “Onslaught”…..

I can almost hear John Williams’ iconic Olympic Fanfare and Theme. It’s somewhat appropriate, given that the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics are just about to start. Then there comes word of Logitech’s own unique celebration of the ideals the Olympic games are supposed to embody, namely, sporting competition infused with national pride…..

After we took a look at Func’s first-ever gaming headset, we were left more than impressed. Will we experience the same feeling after tackling its first mechanical keyboard? On paper, it looks hopeful, and Func tries to seal the deal with a couple of useful but uncommon design features. Let’s see how…..

As I’m sure most gamers have, I’ve developed a big list of gaming-related pet peeves over the years. Some are admittedly minor, but others are what I’d dub “severe”. Take in-app purchases, for example, something I feel has to be one of the worst things to ever come to gaming. When I…..
