    Hands-On With The HTC Vive

    Ok here's my question and no article on the Vive / Valve VR that I've read so far has answered it: Will games have to be written from the ground up to support the Vive, or like the Oculus Rift, can support be modded into a game? I know most of the features Vive brings to the table wouldn't be...

    inXile Kickstarts 'Torment' RPG, Hits Funding in 6 Hours

    I have to say, I love all these kickstarter efforts, putting control of the game back into the hands of the makers and not these FPS-pushing, DLC-mongering publishers (I'm looking at you EA). The games we're getting from the mainstream groups are becoming more expensive to make, more expensive...

    Microsoft Research Shows Transparent 3D OLED With Kinect

    Despite the limitations this is still pretty neat. I could see myself using it for all kinds of tasks as long as there's little to no lag in the response times.

    IP Company Goes After Power Management in Smartphones

    This story clearly shows why the patent system does not work and never will. Good ideas are meant to be shared, expanded, improved. If you patent everything who's going to invest in new research? Chances are your investment will go towards fighting frivolous patent infringement cases like this...

    Crysis 2 SP Shootout: PC vs. Xbox 360 vs. PS3

    It's pretty bad that I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between the 3 versions without the prompts. The PS3 and 360 looking similar was to be expected. But what they did to the PC version is inexcusable! The only improvement I noticed was that the fire and explosions looked...

    Intel Buys McAfee for $7,680,000,000

    @ecnovaec I'm in the same position, and I know exactly what you mean. The last PC I worked on that had McAfee had three trojans and a worm that Malwarebytes found within 20 min. The sad truth is most people blindly trust Norton and McAfee, where's alternative free products can provide much...

    Kingston 2400MHz DDR3 'World's Fastest Memory'

    That's amazing that it can run at those speeds and still stay at 1.65 volts! If the price is right then it looks like it's time for an upgrade!

    If its priced right this could be a cheap upgrade for my brother's 8800GT!

    17-year-old Windows Flaw Affects All Since NT

    You know though to be honest, given unlimited access over such a long period, I'm surprised more bugs haven't been found. In some respects we should be angry that our security is compromised, but in other ways we need to realize that this software was written by humans, who in essence aren't...
