    Adobe Sees Record Revenue After Switch To Cloud Subscriptions

    As a designer and front-end web developer, I absolutely love it. It works out to being roughly the same price as if you upgraded on every version, but it's much more convenient and you get a rolling version with constantly upgrading features. It also means that I don't have to choose between the...

    Sad day. I love my 65" Mitsubishi DLP.

    High Tech Prank of the Day

    Pretty hilarious, but also fake. The perspective of the elevator shaft in the monitors changes based on the camera's angle, though it should only be showing the angle that the people inside the elevator are seeing. Since, you know, lcd's can't show two entirely different images in full screen at...

    Sli 460s and Nvidia Surround

    Source engine games are pretty easy to run in surround, even with 2x or 4x aa. In general though, I find it works better with my 460's to just leave aa off and use Nvidia's FXAA driver option instead. If you get a second 460, be very careful. Nvidia did a silent update to a v2 version of the...

    Why the switch to mini displayport?

    Size. Personally, I find it rather annoying that there are mini and normal versions of the same ports, like HDMI and DP. I would rather just make the smaller version the standard without the redundancy of the larger ports. I've always been annoyed with fiddling with adapters, even though they...

    Fail? That was awesome.

    Does Half Life 3 need major changes to live up to the hype?

    I've got enough confidence in Valve and their style of mega-polished and perfected development to know that whatever comes out will be god damn amazing. I could also frankly care less about whether it's on the Source Engine or something different, as graphics aren't as important to me as...

    Quake!

    I'm using the Darkplaces engine for Quake, and it's been pretty fantastic. That said, I didn't like the changed art direction of some of the new textures in the texture pack, so the only actual features I'm using Darkplaces for is the enhanced resolution, unified lighting and shadowing, and...

    Quake!

    Indeed it is. I played the Dooms and Quakes as a kid, but never beat anything except for Doom 3 when I got it on my first gaming pc back in 2004. I picked up the id superpack on Steam a christmas or two ago, so there's indeed quite the backlog. Also, lol at the 10 fps. It's been running a...

    Quake!

    Victory Accomplished. I've never actually beaten any of the Quakes prior to today, so I finally got around to playing the first one through. Anyone else revisited any oldies but goodies lately? I know I'm planning on moving to Quake 2 and the Thief series after this.

    Chrome for Windows 8 Metro Coming Soon

    If this was an announcement for Windows Phone, I would be excited. IE9 mobile is passable, but I would kill for a different browser engine on my phone.

    My GTX 670 3-monitor mishmash setup

    I worked out a fix for this on my own setup, but I'm not sure it will work considering that your monitors are all so different. At any rate, you may want to check out my topic on this here and see if it helps you out. Basically, the idea is to create a driver override in the device manager based...

    Choosing Eyefinity or Nvidia Surround

    I've managed to complete the switch over to Nvidia Surround since my earlier post, and I definitely enjoy the interface more for the most part. The only major issue I have with it (and it's a relatively big one) is that Nvidia requires the monitors to have the same sync polarity. I've discovered...

    Nvidia Surround and Sync Polarity How To

    After battling with my new Nvidia Surround setup for 10 hours today in an attempt to get it to work, I thought I would post my working process so that others may have less trouble. I've got one Acer X233H screen and two Acer G235H screens. They have identical specifications except for one...
