    GTX 1070 Prices Soar Alongside The 'Ethereum' Cryptocurrency

    The shocker is how fast the prices went up--got a $360 GTX 1070 on a whim at a local Micro Center. Without fail, had buyer's remorse the next day and took a look at their inventory--the very next day, all but the most expensive cards were sold out. The next week, they came back in stock but...

    Blizzard Announces Changes To 'Overwatch' Loot Boxes, 'Hearthstone' Card Packs

    I don't have nice things to say about loot boxes. They basically just admitted that rarity is arbitrary, and the you will eventually get everything--it's just a matter of how much money you spend. That's why I was never a fan of Heroes of the Storm over Dota--at least skins were largely...

    Apple Announces Vega-Equipped iMac Pro, Updates Existing Macs With Better Graphics

    Give me a light, portable laptop. Now give me a moderately equipped laptop with the latest CPU, and a modestly equipped GPU. Give me a laptop I can give to my CEO. Now give me a cheap, all-in-one computer that I can give to my grandma. Now give me a desktop a school can afford, now give me...

It's embarrassing how much is locked...

    Drivers Subject To 'Textalyzer' Scanning Without Consent In New NYC Bill

    Here's the absolutely glaring flaw: I regularly use my phone for navigation for my job. Would I suddenly be susceptible any and every time I drive? Would this essentially give cops free-reign to pull me over and fine me because they can prove there has been activity on my phone as I drive? So...

    The Real Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 Specifications

    Between the corners they cut on their cards, the proprietary standards and features they push, and they political shenanigans they pull with game developers, if it wasn't for the fact nVidia has competent software support, I would have jumped ship to AMD years ago.

    FreedomPop Launches 'LTE Alternative' Carrier-Independent WiFi Service, $5 Per Month

    I've tried FreedomPop in the past, and people were ranting and raving just as much as they are now, and it couldn't have been more of a scam. I got a wireless Hotspot through an online promotion, and not only did the wireless Hotspot fail to work since day one, but to change or cancel your...
