Can the hype and deliver some content for a change
Ars Technica is a little upset at the gaming industry and those attached to it like professional game critics or those who send hatemail to a reviewer that only gave their favourite game eight stars. They discuss why it is impossible to give an accurate overview of a game from a preview at E3 and other meetings because in most cases the preview do...

Windows Aero, resource hog and now a security risk too
The Canonical Display Driver is a little display driver that Windows uses to allow it's graphics device interface (GDI) communicate with DirectX, so if you use later versions of Windows it is on your PC. It is not a case of AMD Catalyst versus nVIDIA's drivers, it lives further down in the depths of the OS passing data from the kernel level to the...

WebOS Enabled HP Printers Coming Our Way
Perhaps the oddest tech news you'll hear today, HP CEO Mark Hurd stated during the quarter's earning conference call that HP expects "to leverage WebOS into a variety of form factors, including slates and Web-connected printers". What exactly is a WebOS enabled printer? I don't think any of us know, and I suspect many people at HP have no ...

What do you do when you don't have enough memory? Upgrade to 16GB!
Sometimes, the norm just isn't enough. Take our video editing and rendering system for an example; we have already discussed our transition to an ultra-high-end storage system that included either a set of FOUR 600GB Velociraptor hard drives or a pair of 256GB SiliconEdge SSDs. Now, after not a whole lot of discussion, the move from a 4GB allotme...

NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround delayed officially
First, we have some apologizing to do. In my first review of the GeForce GTX 480 and GTX 470 graphics cards, which we were more impressed with than we thought we would be going in, I discussed the inclusion of 3D Vision Surround as one of the key differentiating features for the Fermi line of parts when compared to the existing Radeon HD 5000-seri...

Want a case with a nice clean front?
If you have never heard of Maxcube before you are not alone, but fans of enclosures with a nice clean front should be aware of the Amoris 6010 ATX Case. All of the extra case connectors as well as the power and reset buttons have been moved to the top leaving a swinging door to cover the front. Inside you will find tool-less installation for all ...

BFG Tech Announces Exit From Graphics Card Category, Continues On With Power Supplies And Laptops/PC
Fans of BFG video cards have some bad news to deal with as of today, though not as bad as it could be. BFG is backing out of the video card business gracefully; there will be no new cards available which is an unhappy occurrence for those hoping to stick with BFG for their next upgrade. This is also going to be a damper on anyone hoping to take a...

OCZ and Indilinx bring a Solid 2 SSD value
Dipping your toes into the world of SSDs is getting easier, especially as we start to see what might almost be called value class SSDs. It is a little hard to refer to the ~$3/GB that you are required to spend to get your hands on one of OCZ's Solid 2 Series SSD's, but $100 is a fair price if you are curious as to what an SSD can do. Simply stick...

ASUS' Matrix 5870 demands a big investment for little return
As you can pick up several different models of HD5870 for $400 right now, an MSRP of $499 for the ASUS Matrix HD 5870 seems like a fair sized jump in price. For that extra investment you get a card with a few interesting features like an LED lit logo on the side which changes colours as load changes on the GPU and a 54MHz overclock on the core. ...

Corrinne Yu; probably the smartest woman you will listen to today
If you will forgive them the use of Silverlight, there is a video on MSDN that The Tech Report linked to this morning in which the Principal Engine Architect for HALO, Corrinne Yu, is interviewed by Channel9. It is Part 1 as the entire interview is over 1 hour and this part takes a hair over 30 minutes to complete. Corrinne is very passionate abo...
