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...

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

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...

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.

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

Awesome linkage :)

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...

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

"By accident", not "on accident".

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

@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...

In the style of the popular internet meme: AMD, I am disappoint.

Here in ol' Blighty, there's a massive geographical lottery as to what sort of broadband you can get. For normal ADSL, you might be able to get up to 20Mbit/s download if you're lucky or up to 8MBit/s if you're not. My line was recently improved and I get 5Mbit/s down and about 1Mbit/s up...

Don't invoke the sheeple! http://xkcd.com/1013/ This is also relevant too: http://xkcd.com/610/

I don't buy that Microsoft was to blame for the Halo movie not coming out, but rather the studios. Everything I've read to date shows that Microsoft wanted to keep tight control over the movie and that movie studios were not happy that they weren't being allowed to tinker with it enough. The...

I managed just under a minute before I turned it off. It felt less like an homage to Zelda/Link than it did to musical numbers in South Park, with the same level of voice irritation!

Not bad at all. I'm much more interested though in seeing what the future cards based on the GK110 rather than the GK104 can do ^.^

Reminds me of this: http://xkcd.com/768/

The best thing to do is to befriend a geek (for real, not falsely) if you don't understand techy things or take out an extended warranty from your computer manufacturer. That way, if your computer goes wrong and you don't know how to fix it in the way that we all do here, you can ask that...

Or you could take off those cynicism-tainted glasses and realise that the EU actually wants to give rights to CONSUMERS, rather than just big business. The EU is far from perfect, but I can't see this happening in the US whilst companies can lobby politicians to overturn many laws they...

I can never forgive Norton software for the horrible bloatware it became and the stupidity of the coding used therein. I once, back in the early XP days, sorted the Norton files into a Norton folder in the programs menu, as the program didn't want to make a folder itself. On every subsequent...

I think there's a good reason why it's only been viewed a few times and has an overwhelmingly negative ranking so far. Anyone who watched all or part of this will probably realise what it is. Now watch something awesome and actually funny about copyright infringement: http://youtu.be/xuxO6CZptck

Yep. Razer Venom. http://www.razerzone.com/past-campaigns/venom

BAH! Where's the frickin' edit button gone now? I meant NUMBER of staff in the above post.

Did anyone else read "expand its staff" and think of them keeping the same name of staff but stretching them, perhaps by a rack? Reminds me of this gem:

That was the same thought I was just having, not to mention people searching for cracks or hacks for games. I don't understand the youth of today or the malware writers... unless, wait, are the people who look for porn and no CD cracks (as there's no bloody way I'm keeping the disc in the...

Yays! This may sound odd, but this is a great development. Amazon is a benemoth and Lovefilm, a company which has been around for at about a decade or so, is the closest the UK has to Netflix. With Amazon behind it, Lovefilm could soar to even greater heights. It may sound like an odd name...

This is why I stopped reading or posting on Gizmodo. Don't get me wrong, I like other Gawker sites such as Kotaku or io9, but Gizmodo is just a bunch of wacked out Apple lovers with little technology sense.

If you get in quickly with the 6950s as well, you can do a simple (and unworrying) bios mod to unlock the extra shaders with a modified 6950 bios or flash to a 6970, which has the same effect and overclocks. I personally chose to just unlock the extra shaders, as the memory overclock by...

Anyone else read Digital Fortress by Dan Brown? Sounds like a good way to give out "great" software with a backdoor to allow the US to read whatever they want.

It's a simple matter of price. Make Blu-Rays discs an affordable price, then more people will buy them as people gradually upgrade their TVs and movie players. At least in the UK, most people don't want to pay £20 or so for a movie. When the price goes under a tenner and notably goes under...

This isn't anything new. In certain levels in Super Mario Galaxy 2, where the task was particularly hard, there was an option to let the game finish it for you. You only got a bronze star instead of a gold star as a result. In this way, casual players could still finish a level without...

"Enabling Overdrive through the Catalyst™ Control Center for single display systems no longer results in GPU clocks running at high levels in non-GPU intensive scenarios" Indeed. Now enabling OverDrive with graphics memory overclocked results in a blue screen with lines running down it...
