If we didn't cover Apple stuff, we wouldn't be doing our job as an enthusiast magazine.Look at them a different way. Since Apple started selling Intel hardware, they've moved from 8 or 10th place to 3 ...

For what it's worth, I haven't installed a Wi-Fi driver using a command line in years, when using Ubuntu. Most wireless cards work out of the box, and the ones that don't can be enabled using a contro ...

There are two big benefits to going the WHS route over a Linux server. (I used to run a Debian server at home for file storage, email consolidation, and media sharing, but replaced that machine with a ...

I think the story was adequately disclaimered. If you want to put a weaker laser in, it's relatively easy to step it down. If you have the skills to make this work, and you read our article, you shoul ...

They're demoing it with crazy-thin (<1cm thick) bezel displays here. The lines aren't very noticeable, especially if you do a 3-wide setup. Then your focus is on the middle screen, with the other s ...

It's really comfortable, if you sit at the right height. I put a fair number of hours into Galaga last week, with no ill effects. If you have the space, an upright is definitely the way to go. I reall ...

We usually only devote magazine space to the best/fastest hardware. When Athlon 64 was dominating Pentium 4, we pretty much exclusively covered Athlon in the mag. With the low-end Intel CPUs pretty mu ...

OK, comments martial law is in effect in this thread.
This thread isn't here to discuss gay marriage, whether you're for or against. The topic that's up for discussion is whether games are art or ...

Actually, I think almost any student of history would disagree with you. You could make a good case that either the time leading up to our entry in WWI, the years of the Great Depression, or the time ...

The only time Windows has ever gotten faster from version to version when running on the same hardware was from 98/2000 to XP. That's because there was a fundamental shift from the 16-bit/32-bit hybri ...

Please help me understand this. No where in the review did I say "Hey if you don't have this new thing, you're a worse person or your computer sucks without it", but people are incredibly defensive ab ...
