    Valve Finally Adds Option To Permanently Delete Games From Steam Library

    Why would anyone want to lose their right to play a game? People could simply use the option to delete the game's local content (which basically uninstalls it) and then hide it from the library list.

    Move Over AMD Catalyst, Radeon Software Crimson Is Here

    "AMD said its engineers built Radeon Software Crimson in the Qt software development framework, which allowed the company to eliminate the need for Microsoft's .Net framework." This alone would have made my day. One of the reasons I've always stayed away from AMD graphics cards was the...

    Microsoft Offering Windows XP Users Money Off to Upgrade

    Kevin Parrish and Tom's Hardware obviously get paid by Microsoft to publish what is basically the same piece at least once a week. I've been an avid reader of Tom's for years, but after all this disgusting fearmongering campaign I simply cannot stand seeing Kevin Parrish's name on any article...

    This is just the weekly "dump XP" article by Tom's in-house Microsoft public relations representative, Mr. Kevin Parrish. He used to be just annoying, now he's becoming disgusting.

    Microsoft Worried About PCs Still Using Windows XP

    I wonder how much Microsoft is paying Mr. Kevin Parrish to publish the exact same "article" every week - just shuffle the words around a bit and voilá! Shame on you, Mr. Parrish.

    Neil Young Goes Ahead With Pono Player, Best Quality Music

    Neil Young is totally right, but the main issue is what a few people have mentioned - the loudness war. People need to spread the word on this as much as possible: Turn Me Up! Bringing Dynamics Back To Music Wikipedia - Loudness war Dynamic Range Database YouTube - The Loudness War YouTube...

    U.S. 'Six Strikes' Internet Warning System Ready This Year

    I wouldn't have purchased 99% of the CD's, DVD's and other media items I've purchased over the past 10 years if I hadn't found out about those artists and downloaded material from them first. Most of these artists I'd never have gotten to know if it weren't for the internet. The music industry...

    AMD Gaming Executive Departs, Joins Nvidia

    falchard2002 called, they would like their nVidia/ATI comparisons back. You guys do know that nVidia has the worse driver support and products per price range right now right?

    Windows 8 Release Preview Now Ready for Download

    NiPPonD3nZ0I would give it a go, but as a Portuguese, I would like to see a real PORTUGUESE (From Portugal, not that Brazillian crap) out for a change… It's high time for Portugal to stop speaking like they did 500 years ago. The Portuguese spoken in Portugal sounds horrible, with all its...

    jasonpwns64 Bit 7 is a lot more common than 64 bit Windows XP. Windows 7 64 bit is on quite a few devices, where as Windows XP 32 bit consumes the majority of XP devices. That's true, but they haven't provided drivers for XP 32 either. No matter what anyone thinks or dislikes about XP, the...
