    Intel, Google, and Tag Heuer Team Up To Create A Luxury Smartwatch

    As if anyone that wealthy would waste their money on a TAG Heuer.

    A Closer Look At Silverstone's Teeny Tiny Raven RVZ02, And Why We Like It

    Even though I like the case, what are companies aversions to using a PCI riser cable and simply folding the card over? I mean why not just add an extra inch or so to the width of the case as opposed to five inches to the height? That form factor would also allow you to line the bottom of the...

    Apple Allegedly Boycotts German Tech Site Over 'Bendgate' Video

    This is anecdotal at best, but everyone I know keeps their phone in a case of some kind. I really want to see what people are saying in a few months when phones have gone through actual real world wear. I have to be honest, I hate this bendgate stuff. Intentionally applying pressure to a...

    Apple Releases iOS 8.0.2 To Fix Issues Caused By The 8.0.1 Update

    I think you mean "apple makes the OS" yeah? Because Foxconn makes the phones (assembles at least) and TSMC fabricates their processors. Apple doesn't really fabricate anything per se, they outsource that to other companies. That said, the product produced is more or less standardized so I...

    Phanteks Builds Its First Micro-ATX Case, The Enthoo Evolv

    I think it makes for a cleaner presentation. My tower is on my desk to the right of me so this layout would leave the lines unbroken. From a cabling perspective though, I totally agree with you.

    Dell Outs Ultra HD 5K Monitor For $2,499

    I'm not going to be satisfied until I can see the atomic structures of what's on the screen. What K would that be?

    I'd imagine very few considering how low Digital storm has been slashing prices.

    Lian-Li's PC-Q19 Is Sleek, Slim & All-Aluminum

    "The case will house a Mini-ITX motherboard, along with dual-slot graphics cards measuring up to 22 cm long (perfect for those Mini-ITX oriented graphics cards) using a PCI-Express riser card." Seriously, why don't more ITX cases use riser cards? I've seen so many fine looking itx enclosures...

    MSI Also Teases its X99S XPower AC Motherboard

    Is there a dust free version? Or does it at least come with some canned air? In all seriousness though, I'm thinking of finally trading up from Sandy bridge to this socket. Perhaps it's time to send my i5 to Valhalla.

    Rumor: GTX 880 to Launch Mid-September

    Not wanting to go too boring and obvious with my two cents, but I think it behooves people preemptively dismissing the 880 (and 800 series in general) to wait and see what the launch says about pricing, memory bus, performance over the 780 etc. etc. More than likely, many will wait for the lower...

    Lian Li Updates Popular PC-V2120 Chassis

    Maybe people getting into building computers now are spoiled, but a monolithic black aluminum case for $500 just seems like a joke now, Lian-Li or no. Not to compare apples to oranges, but a 900D is $320 has room for nine HDD's AND comes with a window (Seriously $70 extra for a piece of acrylic...
