SilverStone's FLP02 combines retro aesthetics with modern compatibility, featuring a fan speed control Turbo button and capacity for high-end components.

Microsoft is launching a new Surface Pro tablet today that has a 12-inch display and lots of design changes over the larger 13-inch Surface Pro 11.

Longtime Verge readers might recall the unusual story of how the music video for a Janet Jackson song, 'Rhythm Nation,' could cause certain Windows laptops to crash just by being around when it's playing.

"ASUS has added a function called 'Equipment Installation Check' to its GPU Tweak III software, measuring GPU sagging angles and warning users of excessive tilt."
