With the launch of its first Vengeance gaming peripherals, we expected to see a continuation of this top-rate quality, but so far, things have been a little hit or miss - at least with regards to software.

CM Storm Trigger Gaming Keyboard Review
Written by Rob Williams on May 1, 2012 in Keyboards/MiceAfter taking a look at Cooler Master's QuickFire Pro keyboard last month, we walked away knowing that the company knows how to make a quality mechanical offering. Will the Trigger reaffirm that belief? It adds macro support, a palmrest and expands the backlighting to the entire keyboard - so it has a good chance.

Foxconn CEO Confirms Apple's 'iTV' in Development
An Apple-produced television has been floating around Rumorville for what seems like forever, but with recent comments made by Foxconn chief Terry Gou, it looks like it's going to be a reality. In an interview with a Chinese newspaper, he admitted that Apple was in fact working on a television, and that Foxconn would be...
Intel Has 7nm & 5nm in R&D Pipeline
When a company like Intel releases a brand-new micro-architecture, it's pretty-much become a given that we'll be impressed. Sometimes, performance sees a nice boost, and the constant shrinking of the transistor size just boggles the mind. But despite how impressive any new launch is, Intel always has something...
AMD Reiterates Success of its HD 7000 Series
Hot on the heels of the news that NVIDIA just became TSMC's most important customer, AMD has shot out an e-mail that reiterates the company's thoughts on its current market position. In it, the company states,"The AMD Radeon HD 7970 is available for as low as $479, while the AMD Radeon HD 7950 is available for...
TSMC Gives NVIDIA Priority for 28nm Process
It's been no secret that TSMC has been cursed in the move to 28nm, and it's been even less of a secret that some of its clients aren't too pleased about it. Most notable has been NVIDIA, which just released its first 28nm graphics cards, and has more in store for a summer release. There's been rumors that NVIDIA would be considering...
Portal 2 Gets 'Perpetual Testing Initiative' DLC; Goes on Sale for $6.79
For fans of Portal 2, the amount of DLC released so far has been a little lackluster. The first piece was "Peer Review", released this past fall. It offered up additional co-op missions and a challenge mode. For single-player gamers or those who wanted to create their own levels, it could be argued that Peer Review delivered little.
Updating Our GPU Test Bench to X79
Our GPU test bench got an upgrade a couple of months ago, and due to various life happenings (such as moving to another city), it never got used. As it turns out, that was a bit of a blessing, as I never considered the fact that it didn't have PCIe 3.0, the latest standard that both AMD and NVIDIA are shipping products for. Second...
The Elder Scrolls Online Revealed
Everyone gasp in absolute shock! OK, so it's not a complete surprise, but The Elder Scrolls is going online in the form of an MMO. There are scarce details at the moment as the exclusive reveal comes from the Game Informer, but a trailer and pictures will be made available tomorrow.
nemulator - The Best-Looking NES Emulator... Ever
One of the most popular targets for emulation developers has been the original NES, or "Nintendo Entertainment System". Throughout the years, I've used most of these, beginning with Nesticle over 10 years ago. There have been some good, some alright, and then some that put a new spin on things. nemulator is an example...
NVIDIA Unveils its Ultra High-End GeForce GTX 690
Last week, we posted about a teaser shot that NVIDIA put on its GeForce Facebook fan page with just enough detail to get the speculation train moving. One of the most popular guesses was that it was the upcoming dual-GPU GTX 690, and sure enough, that was right on the money. Due for release later this week, the GTX 690 is...
Valve Confirmed to be Working on Steam for Linux
One of the longest-running and most rampant rumors surrounding Linux in the past couple of years is that Valve has been making a Steam client for the platform. Up to this point, there's never been solid evidence of it happening, and a couple of years ago, Valve head Gabe Newell just came out with it and admitted nothing...
AMD to Slow Driver Support for Radeon HD 2000, 3000 and 4000 Series
If you're running an AMD Radeon HD 2000, 3000 or 4000 series graphics card, listen up. AMD has just announced that driver support for those series will be moving to a quarterly cycle, beginning with the May 2012 release. Current-gen cards (5000, 6000 and 7000) will continue to receive driver updates on a monthly...
Google Launches 'Drive' Online Storage Service; Offers 5GB to Free Users
Online storage services are a dime a dozen, so whenever a company finally decides to toss its hat into the ring, it's usually hard to get excited about. Of course, things change a bit when that company is Google. After all, millions are already heavily invested in the company's many other services, so the addition of online...
