TechSpot at the Apple Store in NYC’s Fifth Ave.

Published on Mar 30th, 2008 in blog, techspot, apple, thumbs up | No Comments »

Earlier this month I visited New York City and my hotel happened to be a mere block away from the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue. Despite of my love-hate relationship with the brand (I own a Mac Mini, iPod, iPhone and MacBook Pro, but I can’t say I love them all), I had to pay […]

Published on Mar 7th, 2008 in blog, techspot | No Comments »

With the upcoming TechSpot redesign proving more challenging and time consuming than anticipated, I have been optimizing a few things here and there on the current site despite of the fact it’s now officially EOL soon.

When time came to think about a new topic for TechSpot’s biweekly poll, I thought that doing something about the state of PC gaming and how sales are being generated was very timely considering the many recent headlines about just that…

Motivations for an upgrade & Far Cry 2 eye candy video

Published on Jan 25th, 2008 in blog, techspot, gaming, hardware, video | 1 Comment »

While I barely touched on the subject of high system requirements yesterday on my post about Vista and gaming, it got me thinking about my plans of upgrading my desktop system, where gaming Crysis is basically my only justification for upgrading an otherwise very responsive system.

Vista and gaming, a bad combination?

Published on Jan 24th, 2008 in blog, techspot, windows, interesting links, gaming, hardware | 1 Comment »

Last week we posted a new poll on the main site asking readers if they thought Vista is hurting PC gaming, and while I don’t necessarily agree that the question is a completely fair and valid one to ask just like that, looking at the partial results I have to say my experiment has gone […]

(This is a reprint from a frontpage news story, reposting for those who missed the annoucement given further news coverage followed shortly after).
To kick off the post-Christmas news coverage let me tell you about a new feature I implemented in the TechSpot frontpage during the break, news pagination.

New MacBook Pro owner, joining the dark side?

Published on Dec 14th, 2007 in blog, techspot, windows, the web, software, hardware, apple | 3 Comments »

Depending for how long you’ve been reading TechSpot you may have read a variety of comments about Apple products, from hate to well, less hate :). No, but seriously, despite of being mainly a Windows site we have tried to remain balanced and objective when time has come to report on any product, no matter […]

A tale of a not so early adopter…

Published on Nov 29th, 2007 in blog, techspot | 1 Comment »

As the Executive Editor of TechSpot it would only seem logical to assume I have to be an early adopter for anything computer or technology related, but that is not the case necessarily. While I do tend to spend thousands of dollars in new stuff throughout the year, I have to admit I keep running […]

The popular TechSpot user gallery

Published on Oct 22nd, 2007 in blog, techspot, the web | 1 Comment »

There are a number of semi-hidden features on TechSpot that unfortunately go unnoticed by many. It’s likely that frequent readers of our news coverage or reviews have yet to visit the forums and see how thousands of users stop by every week helping and sharing their knowledge with fellow TS members.
