This could have easily been titled “AMD Wrath Prism is so bad I had to replace it”, but let’s keep a positive spin on things ;). All in, there’s a lot to like about this liquid cooling solution. It’s priced right, quiet, reduced idle power consumption, and made the PC faster. What’s not to like?

Effortless surround sound, well as long as you have an AC outlet nearby. That’s the promise of WiSA, and it’s gotten much easier with devices like Axiim’s LINK because you don’t even need a receiver. Now there’s a $900 5.1 THX certified tuned (eh?) system entering the market to fill in the previous gap between budget and high-end. SAN JOSE, […]

I have had several Fitbits, currently rocking* the Charge 3 with NFC, and I have mixed feelings about the news that Google has purchased the wearables manufacture for $2.1B.

In the same week that PlayStation VUE limped off the field, Apple has announced its own OTT service completely unconfusingly named “Apple TV+”. Which while you can naturally use it on your Apple TV, actually has nothing to do with it….
