Today, the extensions list is going to be a little more scattered than usual. Submitted for your pleasure are five more useful, unique, and/or downright cool...

I’ve talked about search engines before and how at this point I’m so unbelievably disenchanted with the major players out there. For me (and yes this is my opinion), using google.com directly to search with is a chore at best because the site keeps throwing crap at me that I simply don’t care about, nor wanted to see.

I’m pretty sure this is the granddaddy winner (at least on the internet) for “the ends did not justify the means”. Okay, so there’s this post on Facebook that officially broke over 1 million comments. It’s right here. Is the conversation interesting? Of course not, because this is Facebook we’re talking about.

YouTube’s grand and all, but there’s definitely a few things that could be improved about it. Until Google decides to implement automatic playback, or the ability to resize videos while watching them, we’ll have to turn to outside sources. Notably…Chrome extensions. Here’s 5 extensions for Google Chrome designed to make your...

Back when MySpace was the big deal in social networking, there were tons of major businesses that decided to get a page there. Were any of them worth anything? No, and for the most part they were largely ignored by the internet populous. Unfortunately it’s getting to the same point like before where businesses are getting social profile pages left and...

For newbies to the platform, Steam can seem a touch overwhelming at first. While it’s not too hard to get the general stuff down- purchasing games, installing files, accessing steam apps, adding friends – there are a few tips and tricks that not everyone seems to be entirely aware of.

Our illustrious leader Dave puts a good amount of effort into making pcmech.com look the way it does. A nice easy-to-recognize logo at top, a proper layout so you can easily tell where you are at any given time on the site, thumbnail images on home page articles to more easily separate one article from the other (which is totally for your benefit), and so...
