YouTube’s grand and all, but there’s definitely a few things that could be improved about it. Until Google decides to implement automatic playback, or the ability to resize videos while watching them, we’ll have to turn to outside sources. Notably…Chrome extensions. Here’s 5 extensions for Google Chrome designed to make your...

Back when MySpace was the big deal in social networking, there were tons of major businesses that decided to get a page there. Were any of them worth anything? No, and for the most part they were largely ignored by the internet populous. Unfortunately it’s getting to the same point like before where businesses are getting social profile pages left and...

For newbies to the platform, Steam can seem a touch overwhelming at first. While it’s not too hard to get the general stuff down- purchasing games, installing files, accessing steam apps, adding friends – there are a few tips and tricks that not everyone seems to be entirely aware of.

Our illustrious leader Dave puts a good amount of effort into making pcmech.com look the way it does. A nice easy-to-recognize logo at top, a proper layout so you can easily tell where you are at any given time on the site, thumbnail images on home page articles to more easily separate one article from the other (which is totally for your benefit), and so...

Once again, Google is making news again because effective 1 March 2012 they’re migrate/merge/whatever Google products to center personal data around Google+ accounts primarily.

Today (Jan 18th) is a large-scale protest day to SOPA/PIPA. No doubt, you’ve heard all about it. Many large websites are going black today in protest of the bill, including Wikipedia, WordPress and Google (in the form of a censored logo). If I had more time available, I might have set things up to black out DavidRisley.com and PCMech.com. But, I...

With the advent of the social network, more and more of our lives and consequently our identities, are finding their way to the net. Names, interests, social relationships, birth-dates, and sometimes even financial information. All very valuable information for the right (or wrong, depending on how you look at it) person. It shouldn’t come as any surprise...

Believe it or not, there are more games on the Chrome Web Store than just Angry Birds. I know, I found it shocking too. Know what’s even more surprising? Some of them are actually good. As in…really, really good. I suppose it’s not surprise, really. I’ve compiled a list of games you should take a look at, if ever you’re bored and...
