    Gigabyte Packs Two GTX 1070s Into New Aorus X9 Gaming Laptop

    Seriously, no G-Sync? Not even on the 120hz panel? It's unthinkable to me that someone would purchase such a high-end gamer-focused laptop with 2 high end GPUs crammed inside that fails to include a feature that is basically necessitated on this type of product at this price point. I'll take...

    Samsung 850 (Non-Pro/EVO) And 860 EVO Appear Online

    I've had at least a 1TB SSD for my main desktop (gaming PC) and at least a 500GB SSD for my primary laptop since sometime around the release of the 840 Evo. To be honest, it's hard for me to imagine having any less SSD storage space and it still being practical. Even with this much space, I...

    Bitcoin Value Plummets Following BTC China Shutdown Announcement

    KING_V: Anyone claiming that Bitcoin is not traceable is lying, and anyone who does even the smallest amount of investigation would learn that is not the case. The "history" of all Bitcoin transactions is publicly available information and is inherent to the way the system works. Sure, it can be...

    Bitcoin Value Plummets Following BTC China Shutdown Announcement

    KENNETH BARKER, using your logic, how is fiat currency any less of a scam than digital currencies? They are both backed by ABSOLUTELY nothing. The only thing that gives value to fiat currency and digital crypto currencies alike is that people have faith that other people believe it has value...

    MSI Infinite A Desktop Now Available

    The article says it has USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C ports, while the table at the bottom says USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C. Which is it? Honestly, it would be pretty lame if they were Gen 1 ports considering the price of the machines.

    German Law Requires Companies To Swiftly Delete 'Obviously Illegal' User Content

    Its always the authorities claiming to protect freedom who are the ones who ultimately destroy it. Anyone who believes any of this nonsense about the politicians being outraged because these companies failed to "protect the people" should dig a bit deeper. The politicians are angry because the...

    'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' Hands On

    It would appear that as of lately, cheating has become a serious problem, and many players are of the opinion that the developers are not doing nearly enough to combat the problem (even suggesting that the developers are open to players modifying shaders and such, which can obviously be used to...

    LastPass Authenticator Now Easier To Use With Cloud Backup Feature

    Agreed. LastPass and other services like it would make the internet and devices much more secure if only an exponentially higher number of people would use them. Sure, 2FA and account-specific random passwords aren't going to stop all attacks (such as phishing and taking advantage of user's...

    Asus ROG Video Teases Zen-Powered Laptop

    It will be interesting to see how AMD's iGPUs compare to Intel's.

    Apple's iCloud Keeps Forgetting To Delete Users' Synced Data

    You mean Apple acts all high and mighty, suggesting they take their users' privacy and security much more seriously than other companies, yet they actually care so little about it, that even when researchers point out their blatant flaws, they don't even give their users the dignity of response...

    HTC Beats Oculus To Standalone VR

    Very interesting... It would be quite the accomplishment if HTC finds some way to allow this new Android based HMD to use the existing content on the SteamVR platform. I can't see how that would be possible given the enormous difference in GPU/computation power between an ARM processor and...

    PlayStation VR Aim Controller Out Next Week, Supports More Than Just ‘Farpoint'

    They designed it to not look like a gun even though that is exactly what it is simulating in every game... Either Sony hired a mentally challenged individual to design this product, or their design department has been taken over by SJW libtards. Either way, bravo to Sony for making the most...

    Palmer Luckey Will Leave Oculus On March 31

    I don't disagree with the opinions stated concerning free speech giving companies the right to fire employees for what they say in private, BUT... when is the last time you saw a high profile individual like this get relieved from his position for saying something too far left or liberal? When...

    Palmer Luckey Will Leave Oculus On March 31

    What a terrible guy... having the audacity to privately support his political party and use a small portion of his wealth to oppose the the MSM's narrative and the opposing political party. At least the fact that he lost his position and was driven into exile proves that we are on the cusp of...
