As the second turns: Frame captures, CrossFire, and more
I've been buried in my own work while preparing our Titan review, but lots has happened in the past few weeks, as many in the industry have moved toward adopting some form of game performance testing based on frame rendering times rather than traditional FPS. Feels like we've crossed a threshold, really.

Google Chrome to get tab noise indicator
Don't you hate it when you have a gazillion tabs open, and then one of them—you have no idea which—decides to start blaring some annoying sound? You pretty much have to cycle through the tabs one by one, shielding your ears, looking desperately for the source of the noise.
