Intel gettin’ all chop happy on processor prices this summer.

There’s nothing more satisfying than a good deal, especially on once pricey PC components. We don’t all have endless amounts of cash to blow on kick ass custom computers, so frugality is something we commoners look out for. And wouldn’t you know it, Intel has something just for us by way of cheaper prices. The most eye opening change is the price of the I7 950 processor clocked at 3.06GHz and currently sitting at $562. By the end of this summer however,...

Mac Mini gets user-accessible RAM, HDMI, and $100 higher price tag.

Mac Mini gets user-accessible RAM, HDMI, and $100 higher price tag.

With all of the focus on the iPhone, App Store, and mobile sphere in general, it would seem that Apple has forgotten or given up on their desktop clientèle. But a fresh Mac Mini refresh slightly pushes off that belief. The first part worth noticing is the new, $100 higher pricetag, which now pushes the bottom-of-the-line Mac Mini up to $699.

Why not strap a computer to your feet?  Introducing: The Nike Circuit Shoes

I love geeky clothing. And I’m not just talking about some run of the mill t-shirt with some clever, digital play on words. Honest to goodness “Woah, that’s awesome” type of stuff. The Nike Circuit Shoes created by Gabriel Dishaw aren’t technically Nike’s at all. They’re just modeled to look like that. The coolness factor that simply oozes out of the circuit laden footwear is too cool to ignore. A good end table piece for...

MSI GT660 your next gaming laptop?

MSI GT660 your next gaming laptop?

Generally speaking, gaming laptops tend to be overhyped in my opinion. I mean, ya, if I’m on the go, a gaming laptop would help that gaming itch. But at what cost? Even some of the top of the line, $3,000+ gaming laptops have issues running modern games even at low to medium settings. That’s not how I want to game… Enter the MSI GT660. Featuring Core i7 processors, support for up to 12GB of RAM, an Nvidia GT285m, 500GB hard drive, and slew of USB 3.0...

Macs gaining ground on Steam. Still suck wind where it matters most — GPU/Eye candy

Macs gaining ground on Steam.  Still suck wind where it matters most — GPU/Eye candy

I was having myself a good time last night searching for a new game on Steam when I stumbled across this little survey detailing the type of machines that flock to the popular service/storefront. It’s interesting because Mac’s have a pretty prominent position after a rather short time with Steam access. Specifically, a larger percentage of the Mac user base has higher amounts of RAM and more cores per CPU than their Windows counterparts. Though as any self...
