Infographic: What Classic Consoles Would Cost if Released Today
I admit that I’m sometimes easily amused, but there’s just something about looking at old tech products and seeing what they’d cost today that I like.

Google Rumored to be Developing Internet-connected Smart Thermostat
As I sit here, wearing my hoodie and listening to snow plows outside, I can’t help but think that Google’s current in-the-works venture is a smart one. In 2011, the company tested the waters of Internet-accessed power stats for the home, but it was scrapped once it failed to gain any traction.…..

A Look at the SteamOS Beta on a Custom PC
Valve’s much-anticipated Linux distribution, SteamOS, is here – at least in beta form. Despite it being early days, we couldn’t wait to see what the OS brings to the table (at this point), and what it’d be like installing it to a custom PC (hint: it’s hit-or-miss). One thing we know for…..
Need Achievements? Tales of Maj’Eyal Has 1,225 of Them
Because the rate at which games get released on Steam has been ramped-up so much over the past year, I generally make it a point to visit the site once a day to check out what’s new. I’m not a big indie gamer, I admit, but every so often a title will…..

Macs offer a number of benefits, but for many Windows users, it’s Apple’s top-rate design that helps seal the deal when pondering a new PC. But, a problem arises: What about those Windows apps? What if you don’t want to go the Boot Camp route? Fortunately, with Parallels Desktop 9 and VMware…..
No Longer In-house: Using NVIDIA SHIELD’s GameStream Feature While Out and About

It’s official: The Elder Scrolls Online launches on April 4, 2014 on the PC & Mac, and the PS4 and Xbox One two months later. These dates pit the launch at just about two years since the game was first announced. As with most games which are set to launch in a couple…..

The Assassin’s Creed series has been quite an active one up to this point, but IV: Black Flag takes us to the most exotic location to date: The high seas, during the golden age of piracy. With this major setting change, does Black Flag bring with it unexpected riches, or is this…..
Do Enterprise Hard Drives Last Longer Than Consumer Ones? Backblaze Doesn’t Think So
Because enterprise environments tend to stress hard drives a lot harder than consumer ones, vendors have separated drive models into two groups. As it is, hard drive vendors often market enterprise drives as being built better than consumer drives, and designed to last longer. According to Backblaze, however, there might be no…..
Small Package, Big Storage: Samsung’s mSATA 840 EVO Comes in at 1TB

Func Rounds Out its Gaming Peripheral Offerings with KB-460 Mechanical Keyboard
When mousepad legend Func came back from the dead (or came out of its funk?) last fall, we weren’t sure what the future would bring. Well, since that time, the company has bolstered its selection, adding a gaming headset and mouse to the list. Now, with the addition of a keyboard, Func…..
Techgage at the 2013 L.A. Auto Show
Automobiles and technology are a natural pairing, so when I suggested that Techgage should cover last weekend’s Los Angeles Auto Show, Techgage big kahuna Rob could only agree. Here we present Techgage’s look at the best of what the 2013 L.A. Auto Show had to offer. There’s no doubt about it: Los…..

Furthering its Commitment to the OS, Valve Joins the Linux Foundation
Given all of the Linux-specific news that has come out of Valve in 2013, there’s been little doubt up to this point that the company has a strong belief that the OS is well-worth supporting. To help take things to the next level, though, it’s been announced today that the company has…..

You May Love Flight Sims, But is it a ‘Transform the Garage into a Plane’ Kind of Love?
There exist three types of people in the simulation universe: Those who enjoy them, those who purchase special peripherals to heighten the experience, and those who take things to a level so high, most of us didn’t realize it existed outside of NASA. Such is the case of Redditor DLowen’s father, who…..

As time passes, more and more PCs are being built without an optical drive. When it comes time to conduct a format and reinstall Windows, then, an issue arises: Where does that setup DVD go? The answer: On a flash drive – well, the data at least. If that sounds complicated, don’t…..
