"Show us that it's being adopted in the industry, and we'll put it in.”

Discovery that Apple has intentionally removed restrictions on NVMe in the High Sierra beta suggests that future Macs won't be limited in which mass-storage flash drives may be used, possibly including both the "modular" Mac Pro and the iMac Pro.

ARM technologies are already in widespread use in places you don't realize. Get up-to-speed on this technology.

IT’S OFFICIAL: JOHN Deere and General Motors want to eviscerate the notion of ownership. Sure, we pay for their vehicles. But we don’t own them. Not according to their corporate lawyers, anyway. In a particularly spectacular display of corporate delusion, John Deere—the world’s largest agricultural machinery maker —told the Copyright Office that farmers don’t own their tractors. Because computer code snakes through the DNA of modern tractors, farmers receive “an implied license for the life of the vehicle to operate the vehicle.”

Nvidia updates its top-of-the-line Titan graphics card yearly, so it's only natural the Titan Xp got announced Thursday.

When Microsoft first announced Project Scorpio as an upgraded variant of Xbox One, many began wondering about the possibility of modular consoles. The idea takes from PC and suggests that a time may come when console owners would be able to simply open up their hardware to replace aging components for performance enhancements. In return, a modular console would improve the longevity of the generation and companies like Microsoft would no longer need to bring out a new console every few years.

3D XPoint finally has (limited) commercial availability.

We had floppy disks long before we had CDs, DVDs, or USB thumb drives. Here's the evolution of the portable media that changed everything about personal computing.

Too many IT managers cling to some very outdated notion that flash storage is not as reliable as hard disk-based storage. They are wrong.

Phil Hogan, an IT application architect, estimates that close to 80 percent of the system is original.

USB Type-C cables are not all created equally. In fact, some USB Type-C cables fail so badly that they will permanently damage your hardware. Benson Leung, an engineer on Google's Pixel team, discovered early last year that there's even more risk to your electronics when you've got a cheap USB-C cab...

During the last few years, cloud computing has become a buzzword on the internet. In simple terms, it is the process of delivering services hosted on remote data centers connected through the internet.

Helpful though they are, plucky small bands of testers can't make up for the lack of independent consumer-focused labs for tech equipment.

For your amusement: All the really nasty ways you can destroy hard drives. 

It's a very future-forward machine. But that also makes it messy in the present day.

The laptop features a "vapor chamber" to dissipate heat, as well as a custom fan design. It costs €4,199 if ordered in Europe, £3,499 in the UK, and $3,699 in the US. "What we are trying to do is a suite of products focused on the gamer. Previously we had laptops that were designed for better portability, somewhere there is a fine balance between performance and portability, and one that had an intense amount of performance," said Min-Liang Tan, CEO and cofounder of Razer told Business Insider.

RAM (random access memory) is a component of every computer system, from tiny embedded controllers to enterprise servers. In the form of SRAM (static RAM) or DRAM (dynamic RAM), it’s where data is held temporarily while some kind of processor operates on it. But as the price of RAM falls, the model of shuttling data to and from big persistent storage and RAM may no longer hold. RAM is highly susceptible to market fluctuations, but the long-term price trend is steadily downward. Historically, as recently as 2000 a gigabyte of memory cost over $1,000 (£800 in those days); today, it’s just under $5 (~£5).

The nagware announcements are gone, but Microsoft, along with AMD and Intel, has made darn sure you’ll be running Windows 10 and not Windows 7 on the next PC you buy.

Seagate has been showing off its monster 60TB solid-state drive (SSD) this week, which breezes past the 15TB SSD that Samsung launched in March. But don't expect to see Seagate's SSD in a consumer device any time soon, with the new drive set to join the high-performance end of its datacenter portfolio. Samsung's PM1633a has a 2.5-inch form factor and holds 15.36TB of data. For now, it remains the largest commercially available SSD and reportedly costs $10,000 per unit.

External GPUs could get around DisplayPort 1.2's bandwidth limitations.
