So, now that the iPhone 5 has been out for a while, and everybody’s stopped drooling over it, it’s time to answer a very, very important question (sort of): What exactly does it mean for mobile gaming? A great many websites have already detailed all the important stuff about the iPhone 5 (at least, where gaming is concerned). I’ll sum them up...

There is a particularly vile breed of scum populating the corners of the blogosphere. These men and women haven’t got a single shred of originality between them – yet somehow they continue to come up with new, regular, and fresh content for their blogs. That it’s not theirs is just a minor technicality – what the original authors...

For those of you who don’t know already, Apple’s announced the next product in their iPad line…but it’s a little smaller than you might expect. Apple showcased, for the first time, the iPad Mini; a tablet PC designed to fill in the gap between the iPhone and the standard model of their iPad, and to compete with the Kindle Fire and the...

Just a quick one for you folks today. Some time ago, I was at a friend’s place. We were about to do a bit of gaming, so I pulled out my laptop, meaning to connect to her wireless. Unfortunately, she couldn’t actually remember her wireless key – nor could her family. Now, ordinarily, this problem could be solved simply by connecting to the...

You’d probably be hard pressed to find someone who doesn’t spend at least a few hours a day online – be they working, reading, socializing, or gaming. They’ve become more or less integral to our way of life – a fact which comes bundled with a few unpleasant truths. We’ve already talked a bit about how excessive computer use...

As I’m sure many of you do, I have a Netflix account. It’s pretty awesome- for a paltry $10 a month, I’ve access to a whole library of movies and TV shows which I can watch whenever and wherever I desire (so long as I’ve a stable Internet connection, anyway). Unfortunately, since I live outside the United States (I’m based up here...

So, you’re showing a friend a video on YouTube – it’s one you’ve seen several times before, and you still can’t get enough of it – and just when it’s getting to the good part, it cuts out, and skips straight to the end. A bit frustrating, isn’t it? Thankfully, the issue’s actually fairly easy to fix –...

Clutter is one of the biggest problems with the Internet these days. Some websites are just designed in a sloppy fashion, or interrupted by advertising, poorly-placed images, or simply a terrible layout.  Furthermore, no matter where we go, or how we browse, there’s always something there to distract us, something vying for our attention. Maybe a...

It takes a very specific, very special kind of person to knowingly violate the law – and an even more special kind to talk about it on Facebook after the fact. I’ve said time and again in my posts that you need to watch what you say online – or, at the very least, make sure you’ve got your privacy settings properly configured....

While you can’t necessarily make millions working from home or working online (unless you’re a genius or prodigy of some kind), that doesn’t mean you can’t find employment on the web. There are plenty of jobs available online that put other work to shame. They’re the people we wish we could be, the ladies and gentlemen who do what...

I have a confession to make. This isn’t easy for me to tell you, and it might make you think considerably less of me. Ready? Here goes nothing…I have never used Linux before. I’ve had an interest in the operating system for a while, but I’ve simply never gotten around to trying it out. Feel free to take a few moments to stop laughing...

At the time of writing, it’s been about a week since I received a rather interesting email from CNet, detailing a question I’m sure at least a few of us have asked ourselves in the past: is saving your log-in information in your web browser a bad move? After all, it’s something a lot of folks do, particularly in this era of paranoia, where...

Just a quickie for you today, folks. We’re going to talk about PC gaming. Specifically, the hardware side of it. Whether you buy or build (personally, I’m still a proponent of building), eventually you won’t be able to run games the way you used to. Eventually, your hardware is going to become outdated and obsolete. Eventually, you’ll...

Imagine this: a laptop that is more durable than traditional models while also being lighter and thinner. On the surface it sounds like a concept that consumers would latch onto. Yet as Rich wrote last month, Ultrabooks haven’t caught on. Ultrabook shipments will likely reach just half of the 2012 estimate, and the 2013 estimates have already been cut....

The verdict is in- according to the jury, Samsung infringed upon Apple, and must now pay the tech giant damages equal to $1.05 billion. It’s considerably less than Apple’s original asking price, but it’s still a very hefty sum. Not only that, Apple’s moving to get eight more Samsung products banned from sale in the United States-...

We have seen a lot of SEO developments recently; from search engine algorithm improvements and penalties, to the ever-changing responsibility of the SEO marketer and how his role has changed. This has left a lot of online marketing companies uncertain of what to do and what they should be focusing on, trying to figure out what is important and what really...

For those of you who haven’t heard yet…there are many people who think Windows 8 will be bad for the gaming industry. Very bad. Gabe Newell (the powerful, rotund personality behind Steam, the world’s largest digital video game distribution platform), one of the designers of Starcraft (pretty much the most popular real time strategy game ever...

Today, we’re going to take a look at the various components of a USB memory stick, and how they work together to store and transmit information. This one’s going to be brief, compared to some of the other entries in the series – there’s not as much to USB sticks as there is to, say, a keyboard or LCD screen. In any case, let’s get...

So…your browser’s been unnaturally slow lately. Where once it’d blast you through content like a jet-pack wearing ape on PCP, now it’s more like a stoned elephant. What’s the deal? What could be causing your browser to be slowing down so much? Why has browsing the Internet become such a chore? More importantly, what can you do about...

Whoever claims that it’s not possible to be addicted to a social network is either lying or uninformed. Social media addiction is, like Internet addiction, a very real, very troubling phenomenon. It’s not ‘all in the head’ of the addicted users (even if it were, would that not constitute a behavioral addiction?). Believe it or not,...
