In my personal experience playing League of Legends, negativity and abuse generally go down as you get to higher levels of play. I can go a dozen games without seeing someone rage, and when it does happen, it's rarely more than mild. Whether it's because players eventually learn that rage hurts...

The first game only cost me $2.50 on sale from Steam. I'd be happy to get more of the same in a sequel for that price again.

A good article for those new to emulation. Unfortunately, it doesn't talk about some of the features I personally enjoy the most in my emulators: slow motion, fast forward, rewind, and the range of emulator functions available for binding to the controller. With computers as powerful as they are...

demarestThe fantasy that any governing body has the ability to control a large scale connectivity or lack thereof shows an embarrassing lack of understanding of how the internet came to be. Hint: It wasn't Al Gore. If you mean that you don't believe that the FBI will actually be able to take...

Whether or not HTML5 is ever fully adopted, I will be grateful that it exists. It (or something) has really lit a fire under Adobe, and they've made a lot of great advancements to their Flash software recently. Still a long way to go for them, but for the first time I feel like Adobe Flash is...

As slicedtoad said, Adblock will only mask the symptom, which could actually end up working against you if the malware has other functions besides ad injection (like stealing bank numbers). Without the relatively harmless early warning of ad injection, you may not notice the malware until it's...

shoelessinsightOf course, anything over 120 dB is probably overkill since average human perception is over 100 dB in hearing range. Ugh, can't edit my comments on Toms Guide. I had a bad source on that 100 dB number. According to Wikipedia, the dynamic range of human hearing is about 140 dB. So...

ScarlAccording to this article: "Even CDs and their WAV format hold only about 15 percent."I'd really love to know the source of this assertion. What does the author suggest is in the missing 85 percent? Is it frequency information above 22 kHz? Is it the low level information buried in...

peter111@aolcomthe german magazin CT has made a test wiht so called "gold ears" a few years ago.experts when it comes to audio, people with the absolut hearing.they should decide if it was played from CD or MP3 (a good hardware MP3 player was used).... THEY FAILED MISERABLY. it was 50% right...

The video blows things out of proportion and is relying on hysterics to turn users off of Gmail, but it is quite funny all the same. I stayed away from Gmail for a few years because I didn't like the idea of their bots reading my mail to advertise to me. My opinion quickly changed after the DOJ...

I had just assumed they were always doing this, seeing as I only have to log into Google once and I can access my account across all of their services: Gmail, search, Youtube, etc. All this seems to be doing is integrating their services officially. If anybody actually finds anything in the...

It's painful to see such a cheap sound system paired with that nice TV, especially when everything else in the article was so generously overpriced to give Jennifer Prince the benefit of doubt. Still, the article at Bloomberg didn't include any home theater speakers at all, so I guess it's only...

It sounds to me like a case of the right hand not knowing what the left is doing. Chrome's marketing department went a little overboard and generated some bad PR with their overzealous advertising. The rest of Google then had to clean up the mess left by one of their many departments.

elgranchuchuahhh at last! Chrome has always provided those download features to the users. I assume that this latest change is intended for app and extension developers that want to modify or enhance the way Chrome manages downloads.

I generally like it, but the translucent background it uses can make emails really hard to read with themes enabled. I'll happily switch over to the new look once they fix that issue. Until then, I'll keep using the old look.
