    Steve Ballmer Officially The New Owner Of The Clippers

    Phew. That's good to know. I'd hate to be the owner of a basketball team. It'd only be worse if it were baseball or American football (or any UK/European football team for that matter, as that sport is almost as tedious). Actually, pretty much all sports teams would bore me. But anyway, if it...

    Virtual Reality Mod Gives You 3rd Person Perspective

    This reminds me heavily of Razer's last April Fool joke: http://www.razerzone.com/eidolon

    Combating Piracy By Narrowing Theatrical Release Window

    It's odd to hear people complaining about food and drink prices in cinemas from a UK perspective. There's an anti-monopoly law here which means you can bring in your own food and drink if you wish, though the cinemas do a roaring trade from ignorance of this or people who don't think in advance...

    Kim Dotcom Offers $5M Whistleblower Bounty

    Because it will make his defence even better and further embarrass the corrupt departments that went outside their own laws to try to take him down. Although it's easy to see in black and white and label him a criminal, life is rarely so simple.

    One Review That Covers Every Ubisoft Game

    I saw no mention of horrid DRM. Did Ubisoft finally abandon this or was it just left out?

    Nintendo Continues To Blame Wii U For Its Financial Woes

    As a long-time Nintendo fan (from SNES through to the Wii), as weird as this is about to sound, I activel WANT Nintendo to fail. Why? Simple. Nintendo has become arrogant. It got lucky with the Wii and (to a lesser extent) with the GameCube, but the Wii U has shown that it can't continue to...

    Wolfenstein: The New Order PC System Requirements

    i7 required? I highly doubt that. I think that might be for the recommended specs. In any case, I'm sure my AMD 8320 could handle it easily, not that the game interests me alas.

    The Stress Of Being A Computer Programmer Will Drive You Crazy

    Stress leads to increased chances of developing a mental illness. What's so hard to understand about that? It's the reason why teachers (especially in the UK) have such a high rate of mental illness.

    Canadian Satellite To Provide Super Fast File Transfers

    It's situationally ironic that this is coming from Canada, which is known for its sub-par and ridiculously expensive internet packages.

    R.I.P. Windows?

    Considering there's no VIABLE OS alternative to it that will actually do everything that every Windows user need, that article is a load of twaddle. Please note the use of "viable" there. This means that you cannot currently count Android, OSX or Linux for desktop PCs.

    Why Steve Ballmer Is Not a Failure

    Whilst it might be unfair to lumber everything on Ballmer, he's always been a belligerent and stubborn arse and has not exactly done anything terrific during his tenure in of himself. A true leader doesn't just manage good people but gives them a firm direction and guides the company.

    Idioms Lost to Tech

    I disagree slightly there. to = used for the intended recipient (or recipients) of the mail and they should be addressed as such in the mail cc = not addressed to them (not any mention made of their names) but it does concern them and as such they've been included

    Good News for Consumers: SSD Prices are Dropping

    @HardOCP Admin: That should read "SSDs" at the end. When making a singular word comprising all upper case letters into a plural word, you just add an "s" at the end. You only need an apostrophe when the word is all lower case letters (e.g., do's and don't's). This message is meant kindly...
