My only true complaint about windows 8 is that you can't toggle off metro or whatever its actually called. It's a nice thing for touch enabled things, but not for desktops. That's coming in 8.1, very soon. It's smooth. I'm currently running Windows 8.1 release preview and unfortunately I can not fi...

I thought the new Mac Pro looked really good. I don't need it. But I want it.

Another wannabe console. I wonder how much it will offer and if gamers would actually buy it.

Not sure a random developer saying they're "encouraged" is quite the same thing as confirmed :) That being said, I would be surprised if they didn't do another Far Cry... it's a good game, and it's sold pretty well. As for the location... I like the island theme, but I'd like to see more ...

Check out this video this guy did with his dad.

This is so hilarious.

A friend of mine went to a local Best Buy and bought himself a Samsung Series 7 notebook with Windows 8 preinstalled. He cannot stand the fact that it lacks a Start Menu. I have convinced him NOT to return it just yet, mentioning to him that there are Start Menu alternatives out there. I just don't...

I'm still stuck between PC or the Xbox One. The mouse would be nice but I like playing with friends through XBL. Right now Windows kinda betrayed me with Windows 8 so I'm more on the Xbox side.

Or is that all over. I was hoping that they'd give a discount on Battlefield 4 pre-order or another big game like that. They did do Just Cause 2 for $3 which was pretty sweet.

I found a Youtube video explaining it. The guys are a little annoying but they'll give you the facts.

One of Far Cry 3's developers said that since the franchise has been so popular they are encouraged to make a Far Cry 4. The location in the game has not been decided yet, they want to here from us where we want it at. I can't wait till this comes out!

I'm glad that I bought my mac. Sucks that I can't play it on my phone though since it's not IOS.

Windows 8 Start-menu alternative / Search / Nav Instantly find your files, apps, and do system things like control panel/reboot/etc which are a big pain in Windows 8. The Prompt can even be called on top of the full-screen Windows 8 Metro apps that are hard to switch between and nav out of http://t...

I read a blog on the xbox website that said you do not need the Kinect. They just want you to buy it so they get more money.

Definitely worth the buy. The cheapest version has 2 terabytes which is so huge. I don't know how many GB's that is but I know that it's 16 terabits. With all that space I can back up my laptop so I can put Windows on there to play more games and run different software which I've always wanted to do...

Xbox One, on release comes with the kinnect and a 500GB hard drive. BUT, Microsoft said that there may be different versions of the Xbox One. The first version will have the Kinect/500GB bundle for $500. The second version is with no Kinect but still with the 500GB hard drive and according to some m...
