Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Corporate News, Software,

Microsoft plans to use the improvements found in Service Pack 2 on future iterations of the Windows platform. They're also urging users to turn on the automatic update function on their systems, so that current and future updates may be slowly downloaded with minimal disruption to your normal computer activities.

Fresh2 Odor Eliminating Light Bulb Review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Misc. Tech, Product Reviews,
When I started the Gear Live site, I was excited to bring the latest technology news to our readers, and that meant reviews of the hottest gear. But I never thought I would be doing this.

Back to the next generation format wars, Sony has made it known that the PlayStation 3 will officially support the Blu-Ray disc format. What exactly does this mean? For starters, this gives Blu-Ray its own major corporate contender supporting it. This is good press for Blu-Ray, especially after Microsoft announced HD DVD capabilities will be natively supported in Windows Longhorn.

On the heels of our Archos GMini 200 review, the new (and seemingly much improved) Gmini 400 has been revealed for the first time.

In addition, the GMini 400 will also play video, displayed on its 2.2 inch LCD. Finally, the player will also display images. Obviously, Archos is coming in hard with this player. I would expect this one to be the one to watch, provided the advertising is there.

It took nearly fours years, but at long last we'll know what kind upgrade work our PC's really need. Sales for the title are projected to reach about 4 million. This year's iteration is supposed to focus on the single-player experience, guiding your marine through somewhat of a re-creation of the original, with upgraded graphics and incredible environmental lighting techniques.
