PowerColor Radeon HD 7870 MYST Edition Review
PowerColor has released a new graphics card based on the new AMD "Tahiti" 7870 LE core. We will investigate whether it is a worthy Limited Edition or simply a Lame Edition by comparing it to a Radeon HD 7870 GHz edition and a GTX 660 Ti with comparisons also to an HD 7950. Will this card be a deal, or a dud? You may be surprised.

Corsair Hydro H60 Watercooling System FrostyTech has the Corsair Hydro H60 strapped to the test bench today for a little review action. You can see our recent evaluation of the Corsair H60 and its sibling, the H55, right here. Corsair have updated the waterblock design and given the Hydro H60 a new compact profile which hides functional changes to the integrated pump and improves mounting bracket installation significantly. All of this is transparent to the end user though. Being the 'entry level' water cooler model, the H60's waterblock lacks the integrated fan controller and LINK hardware present on the Hydro H80i and H100i units. No matter, you don't need the software/USB stuff to operate a watercooler such as this. Comments Read More ...
Western Digital Red 3TB HDD Need more storage? TechARP has just published a review of the Western Digital Red 3TB hard drive that will definitely be of interest. The new Western Digital Red family of NAS hard disk drives is quite an interesting enhancement of the Western Digital Green family of low-powered, slower-spinning hard disk drives (formerly known as the Western Digital Caviar Green family). It is basically an improved WD Green drive that is cooler, quieter and vibrates less, with a special firmware that Western Digital calls NASware. Comments Read More ...

Funny GameStop Far Cry 3 Contest I found this in my inbox today and couldn't help but laugh. Offering a trip to the jungles of McAfee island Belize? Has no one at GameStop actually played Far Cry 3? You know, where your whole party is kidnapped on a jungle island? If you win, make sure you take your brother and friends. Comments Read More ...

January 1st, 2013 Happy New Year! With any luck, all of you had a great time celebrating last night.

Hollywood Sets Box Office Record I thought piracy was killing the movie industry? It looks like the MPAA might have to come up with a different line of BS to feed the public. The MPAA tends to leave no opportunity unused in its quest to show that online piracy is devastating the movie industry. However, this supposed devastation is not visible at the box office this year. In 2012 North American movie theaters showed more movies than ever before, and for the first time in history domestic box office grosses surpassed $10.7 billion The new record comes in a year where two academic studies have shown that "piracy" isn't necessarily hurting box office revenues .

Netflix Down Again Today? I think Netflix just doesn't like the holidays. Maybe it's just too many people trying to watch Netflix at once. Who knows? Good thing they doubled Hasting's salary. Breaking: This might be the year people with no New Year's Eve plans talked to other people after all. A week after the Great Netflix Outage of Christmas 2012, some but not all users complained that Netflix was down once again on New Year's Eve day, and nobody's entirely sure why this keeps happening at the most inopportune time.

Microsoft Issues Fix For IE Flaw It looks like Microsoft has already put out a fix for the IE flaw that we reported on this weekend. If you are still using an old versions of IE, you might want to get your POS patched. Microsoft issued a fix today for a zero-day vulnerability in older versions of Internet Explorer that could allow attackers to gain control of Windows-based computers to host malicious Web sites.

12 Tech Heroes of 2012 I'm not too sure about this list of the 12 Tech Heroes of 2012. Kim Dotcom made the list? Really? Not just anybody made our list of tech heroes for 2012. If a company moves technology forward with innovation, that just means that its executives and engineers are doing their jobs. This isn't about keeping the ship afloat—it's about going far beyond expectations. Here's a look at the people who really deserve the title 2012 tech hero. Comments Read More ...
Facebook Fixes NYE Message Service Honestly, even though they claim this is fixed, I still prefer wishing people a Happy New Year in a more personal manner. If you have too many friends to do it individually, just say it on your FB profile and be done with it. Student and blogger Jack Jenkins, found that he could view the messages simply by changing the ID number displayed in the message's confirmation URL. The messages would show up as if he were sending the note. He could read the text, see any attached photos, and even delete the message. Comments Read More ...
Online Shopping Causing Retail Real Estate Decline? While online shopping is no doubt a contributing factor here, I think the overall crap state of the economy is the biggest reason for the death of brick & mortar shops. As we do more and more of our shopping while sitting on our couches in our pajamas with an Ultrabook, we're destroying a glorious American institution: the mall. Realspace retailers large and small alike have gone bankrupt and shut down or scaled back: a process that the recession only sped up. Comments Read More ...
