Sketched on Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch Textured With Wacom Intuos Pro When I decided to upgrade my pen tablet I had my doubts. Would I notice a difference, worth $350? I skimmed over the specifications. Double the pen pressure?! My digital paintings can have even more detail and I'd never have to restock on paints again! I've had my Wacom Bamboo tablet for nearly five years now. It still works... This was an investment, unlike casually upgrading my phone every year. I do a lot of research. This seemed competitive in giving a user an edge on Deviant Art. Enter Intuos Pro. Just looking at the pictures, I found my silver bamboo with that nice white LED strip to be better-looking than the Intuos Pro. Not that looks matter much anyway, when it comes to securing a job in concept art. After all I'm moving from an entry-level tablet to the staple Deviant Art standard. So I...

Get much for an extra $50? Take the NVidia GTX 960, for example. This mid-range card offers 2 GB and 4 GB versions, respectively -- at about a $50 discrepancy between the two cards. That being what the cost of a whole new game, for some, this makes the world of difference.     GTA V A memory-hungry game to the fullest; where the more vRAM, the better. That is, the 970's 3.5 GB is just about the bare minimum, to run this game at max, 60 FPS. The 960's 4 GB are not fully taken advantage of on the lower GM206 Maxwell architecture. Therefore any additional vRAM here would be best for a more constant frame rate, with less dips and stutters between lowest and highest framerate. While this can be easily rectified with vSync enabled - you do get about 3-5 FPS higher on the four GB model of the GTX 960. You can enable far more advanced graphics options in GTA V with 4 or more GB of vRAM - namely ancillary settings like higher population density, depth of view,...

Hotline Bling First off, a very Happy New Year to everyone! Let's make something of this brand-new wonderful fresh start!  Sappy motivational cliches aside, on Boxing Day - which is something of a Canadian Black Friday - having been sick of my painfully-slow Galaxy Note 3, I've had for the past two years (not my choice, it was a gift from my dad so I had to take it!), I picked up the new 6s; the last one at Best Buy! 16 GB, black and here's what I think of it. Having owned only iPhones all throughout my cellular life - until my last Android phone - I decided iOS is the only platform for me. As I wrote in an earlier article, with the android, you can really make the device your own. No two are alike. There are several brands offering phones running Google Android's 5.1 Popsicle or Krispy Kreme or whatever version is out now.  With Apple - there's only the iPhone. So every phone essentially looks the same. Yeah the iPhone has some insane cases available, ...
